Hi! New RX8 owner Worcestershire

Post by Steve.82 »

Hello!

Well, having casually itched for a rotary for god knows how long I've finally got one.

The engine is freshly built (~ 1000miles ago) and stock. The rest looks good from a distance... We live near to Shelsley Walsh and the plan is to give it a few runs up the hill later in the year on a members day and see how it does. If it survives ok I'm planning to compete in the Sunrise Speed Championship next year, should be interesting.

For now, as seems normal whenever I pick up a new second hand car, working through lots of minor little niggly jobs...

Membership activation is manual so it may take a day or so, if you haven’t been activated by Thursday I’d recommend posting in the members activation thread (on a iPad or I’d drop a link)
