RX8 Build Thread

It is easy to warm up; however, it is a pain in the ass to shovel snow and everything associated with it.

Snowblower. Or just drive through it lol.

85_ranger, depends what your definition of cold is I guess lol.

I love snow. Always have, always will. The more the better. -15 to -20 c is the perfect temp. Not cold, but not to warm.

Anyways. Back on topic. I've always been intrigued by the rx8. Good looking cars.

It was just below freezing with the stuff fell and then cooled off just enough so it wouldn't melt right away.

It was at my parent's house, it all melts and runs to the front of the garage and refreezes until it evaporates if you don't drag it off to the side. Too big for a snowblower.

I love snow and I love mud, but the two at the same time are not quite as fun.

Appreciate it.

The RX-8 is definitely unique to say the least. That was part the reason why I bought it. The other was that I can to 55-60 MPH in 4th gear.

I used to have a camaro that would do 55 - 60 mph in fourth gear, any slower and you had to shift down to third.

Then get to building and quit complaining about the weather.

How many gears to you have to make crusing in 4th special?

Slant six darts have been doing 60mph in fourth for decades...

6 speed manual; however, I am at about 5500 rpms, I believe.

About time you posted something, so you received two cup holders and a breast plate, don't recognise the other thing. lol.

 

[hoosier1104]

The large piece is a engine cover, to the right of that is a battery box cover and the 'cup holders' are exhaust shrouds for my rear bumper. I melted the last set.

Ben said the same thing about the shrouds.
