Hey guys, I am new to the rotary world and this site. I have 97 eclipse turbo that I have been working on for the past few years but needed a daily driver so I bought an 06 RX8. Loving it so far but very different than what I am used to. Looking to use it for autocross in the future.

Looks like you have done work to the eclipse. Do you race it?

Thanks guys, the eclipse is a GST and I am still tinkering with the tune, I am using DSM Link and still trying to figure it all out. For the 8 I am thinking suspension first.

I also have not owned a rotary but did work for a mazda dealer from 1990 to 1993. looking forward to this summer to put lots of miles on the RX8. yours looks really clean.

the rx8 already handles amazingly well so if you can afford it i'd actually suggest getting into engine mods first, as the rx8 is kind of known for being a pooch against it's competitors in stock condition.
