    Talking Keeping it Jap again

    After the pulsar being fast as **** but not too realible (by not too realible, i actual;ly mean didnt get to drive it for the last 5months of owning it!) i went and sold it.

    After getting quotes for s2000's and evos and imprezas all at 5grand plus, i ended up getting the
    ...
    ...
    ...rx8 231version.

    Insurance is nice and cheap because tis a wankel engine and its classed as a 1.3 even though its actually a 2.6, full leather, rwd, factory aero kit etc etc



    Take off the traction control and it spins up nicley

    however i would love it too look something like this and it is the plan.

    i thought about the s14a but decided against it mainly because i wanted somethig newer. The engine itself is very strong its just that my mapper was a complete wanker. (dont EVER use steve at fc-tuning) i found out the hard way and sadly insted of forking out for a new apexi power fc (after he ruined old one) new turbo (same again) and a new manifold (same guy) and that was all in one sitting
