Default Hey, rotorheads.

So what's the deal with the RX-8?? I have a 2005 with 61k miles. It keeps burning oil or something, but I don't see any dripping. I just keep putting more oil in it. s

This thing's kinda low on torque and hp. How can I up that cost-effectively?

Who do you guys think makes the best exhaust? I think I wanna get one. Should I get a midpipe?

Where can I get a decent paint job for around $200?

How well do those eBay computer chips work? I bought two of them, but I haven't installed them yet.

Is it possible to swap from a 6-speed to an automatic?






























































Just kiddin'.

It's really an 05 RX-8 manual with 61k. Can't deny I love it. But it definitely has cost me more than my Miata and PT Cruiser. It reminds me of my MX-5 some, but, maybe meaner or something. I can see why people call them "never-ending project cars." Mod fever!

Cool, and yes they are...... I have two ongoing never ending project threads and they only encompass 25% of my cars. It's a sickness, there is no cure, welcome to the club, you'll like it here. You S.O. or bank account may feel differently though

That's the funniest Intro. I've seen. I will admit that I actually started to get mad, especially when I got to the "paint job for around $200?" part. Then I realized we had another smart ass in the group. welcome to the forum!
