    Default ROtaryKidd?

    After going back and forth on what car i wanted, from a vette to a CTSV, maybe a G8, etc etc etc i couldnt make up my mind. I really just didnt want to spend $2x,xxx on a car right now with the way the economy is and such. Owning your own business there is def a risk of not knowing where your next paycheck is going to come from.

    My dad drove this , he was gonna trade it in on his new car, i decided to buy it from him. I got it for well under trade in, prob drive it till this summer and trade it in for some positive equity on whatever i end up buying.

    Appears to have 1 ton axles under it. A vehicle that light should hold up well with 1 tons and 44"s.


    Nice RX-8, not really sure why but I have always liked those cars.

    i always like rx8's but my friend bought one and it would die at every redlight and you would have to put octain booster in it to even get it to run. it was still under warranty and they said it was a rotary thing. are you having anything like this with your's?

    sorry but you have lost your mind lol

    My uncle owns and FD, and its 100 times faster than the RX8. Not even in the same class. The FD makes around 260-270whp EASY if the turbos are good and it has a FAT powerband.

    THe RX8 is like a honda, very peaky, an no TQ. Id bet it makes like 190whp.

    I mean compared to other cars in its class, its not fast. My roomates G35 would put a beat down on it IMO

    The dealership lied. my 25 year old rotary car can stay running at every light and runs on 87 octane fuel. I bet your friend's 8 had a knock sensor or tuning issue.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    hit redline every now and then to do a carbon build-up blow out. Rotaries need a good redline carbon flush about once a month or so (or if you want to be REALLY safe, or just have a hell of a lot of fun driving, once a day) but only do it on a warm engine. Also, be aware you just purchased a car that burns oil, so keep on top of the oil levels, lastly, let it idle for 30 secs to a minute before you drive it, so that you're not driving on a completely cold engine.
