Rotary Newbie here

Grimm0ne · 03-21-2011, 09:24 PM

Hi,

Found you by the way of ebay.. no lie lol, looking for tshirts and decals and such.

How i got here? Well i'm in the market to get an Rx8 i have a few lined up just waiting for people to call me back and to arrange shipping on what ever one they let me have.

I've been a tuner since 98, owned a 95 eagle talon tsi awd auto and finaly 2 weeks ago i said enough, time for something new, and at that time was looking at a Mazda 6, but it didn't fit the sporty-ness of the talon and i wasn't about to get an Evo, so i stumbled onto a Rx8.. and well you all know the rest is history..

so thats why I'm here , to grab enough "know how" and support from fellow Rx7/8 owners i can muster, well any rotary for that matter.

anyways, thanks for haven me and such,

Chuck.

Welcome to the club. There is a lot of rotary know how here for sure. Rotary engines look different the piston engines, but there are a lot of similarities that port over from the piston world. Check out the RX8 section and the rotary tech section for info.

yes it was lol

I just wired the money to the dealer and waiting on there transport to pick it up and deliver it, after its picked up said 2days max.. so will see.

after i get it, and state inspected/transfered etc etc, i'll start with the small stuff.

only thing that bugs me is the rotary...

just dont want it to fail on me lol. Has 127k on the clock and 1owner well taken care of, carfax shows it at the same dealer for all its maintenance etc... still on orginal engine by the looks of it. I think i just read to many horror storys but i'm excited , a different pace from an Auto Awd GSX that i had..

but thanks for the welcome and sorry for the delay in replying, its been a busy few days...
