Completely new to the rotary from Brevard, NC

Hey guys (and gals), I am Justin from Brevard, NC. I am very new to the rotary engine stuff as I just recently got an RX-8 last Friday. I absolutely love the thing and it is my baby. Any tips on how to properly maintain it or suggestions on what I can do with the car would be awesome. By the way I have already gotten a few tips but I am always learning. Feel free to get to know me!:302

Welcome, I was wondering if you would make it over here. We had a group of about 20+ rotaries heading to cruise the Blue ridge parkway.
Photos of the run are here: http://rotarycarclub.com/photos/inde...ary-Run---2012

Check the oil every 2nd/3rd tank, You will probably have to add oil between changes due to the losses from the injection system.
. Use 93 oct. Change the oil every 3k or less, dont use synthetic, and let it warm up before you redline it. Don't start it up and shut it down right away or you could flood it and make it difficult to re-start.

If you have any question feel free to post anytime.
