Default New Member, Old owner of 2 RX8s

Hello all.
I'm in the KC, Missouri area.
I've had my fully loaded LY GT since 2012, it's my baby, nearly unmolested condition, second owner.
It only had 18,500 miles on it, garage kept, weekend warrior in showroom condition.
I had a new factory Mazda engine installed a couple of years ago.

I just burnt my 3rd clutch since then.

It's a treat to drive an RX8 like it was new and not like I had been driving, a typical RX8 with a gutless, low compression engine.
It has a BHR catted midpipe with a Racing Beat SS catback.
Grom Bluetooth unit.
SakeBomb IGN-1A Mercury ignition kit.
Debating whether or not to install my new Sohn adapter bundle.

I also have a vintage 1971 Citroen 'ambulance' horn like was used in the original "The Longest Yard".
The woman mistakenly refers to a Citroen as a Maserati.
Close, but that Citroen did have a Maserati engine.


I bought a 40th Anniversary a year ago.
Heavily modded, lowered on Ohlins coilovers.
SSR wheels with stretched tires.
Racing Beat CAI and midpipe, soon to be replaced with a BHR resonated midpipe and Racing Beat SS catback.
Nice Pioneer tablet and sound system.

I hope to find a new home here.

The U.S. based RX8 Club forum has now become a toxic wasteland since 2016.
