Is DDing an RX8 a terribad idea? I know how to take care of a rotary, and I don't mind the oil consumption since my current pistoncuck DD ironically probably burns more than a dorito does. I do have a second car I can use as backup, and I'm a technician so doing my own work is not a problem. I'd be keeping it mostly stock minus stuff like suspension mods.

I would get an FC, but the RX8 seems like a better DD to me since it's newer with more creature comforts, safety, and newer engineering, especially in the suspension. Not to mention they're fairly cheap since they're the black sheep of the RX family.

Someone post the cap, I don't have it.
Short answer: not a terribad idea if you are willing to maintain it and don't care about oil and fuel consumption.
>>
>>17341311
I definitely don't, my current car is an older scoobydoo that burns about 3 quarts every 3500 miles and gets about 18 city/32 highway. If anything it'll be better because it makes the sameish fuel economy with much more power.

If you're going to buy an RX-8, get one with low miles or one that was owned by someone who used pre-mix. The oil metering system in the RX-8's is really poor, so without the extra oil, the seals don't last long.

The Idemitsu stuff is fairly expensive, but I wouldn't use anything else.

Cops were called and eventually from what I hear they caught up to him and impounded the car and took them to jail for a bit.

Also the charger also has hood clips and no lock...so lets just say someone found this car and maybe possibly put a steamer (brand of air filter) to replace the old one and added some new "coolant". Basically everyone I know who spotted this thing fucked with it.

Classic Car General: Your own personal taste edition.

There was some debate in the last thread, but it's important to remember that in most places, by law a car is a classic ar 25 years old. Everybody has their own taste, keep it fun, keep it lighthearted.

What's your classic? What are your plans? What are you doing with it currently?

Don't really like to drink much anymore after going sober so I avoid going out. Kinda lame but maybe one day I'll find a GF that doesn't like to drink much either.

Plan for this weekend: wake up early tomorrow and do some pulls with the Gixxer. That is the only thing that gets my blood pumping anymore these days. Maybe find some Mustang to race or something

the deposits are completely refundable

noone knows how many people will actually take delivery of the cars until it actually happens, in well over a year.

in that tim eim sure a lot of people are just going to take different options.

while still impressive, those numbers are inflated. Even more inflated is the stock value.

You either drive it every 3 days and do it until it somehow fails, or you drive it occasionally and the battery is always dead.

Funny how I've actually had my 456 GT for almost 20 years and never got battery problems since they actually provide a switch for when you leave it sitting for long periods. The car is fine OP, high mileage though.
