I still wonder why you sold your FD? That thing was mad crazy *** quick yo!



It felt faster than Dave's when he took me for a spin in that one night. I think my skull might still be imprinted in the seat.



You also gotta consider, you are buying a new model car. When the newer 2005 version comes out they will be changing all the problems with the cars. Also,you have taken it to the track right Rikki?

I'm paying 33,000 for my Rx8 and I can't drag race with it without something falling apart. I would have to say I'm a little bit upset. I constantly fight the tempation to drag race the car. I think it's a loosing battle. I haven't race the car since december. Thats 5 months without a FIX. I hear the race track calling my name..... STOPPPPPPP these noises in my headddddd... I need to race the 8.. I need help...... somewbody out there help meeeeeeee...

Geez I can see where you might be getting a little diff problem from. They really ought to build these cars to take more fun.

That was done with the new diff, so far so good, it's been 1100 miles. If it breaks again I'll be very disappointed....why are these cars so friggin fragile? it's no fun.

I dunno you would think they would expect some abuse, rear end should easily be beefed up by some aftermarket parts, let's hope their available soon! It's under warranty, keep having fun and bitching them out when it breaks.
