nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Greetings everyone. I've had my Red 86 for just over a year now, and it's time to get more informed and invested in the car. My slithery new car (the newest I have ever owned) is the "sensible" option to keep my soul alive after a tawdry affair with an RX8 began to jeopardise my chances of getting to work. So here I am, looking to learn. A hearty greeting to you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Hi there, welcome to the club. There are a couple of people on here who have come from an RX8, almost got one myself before the 86 actually. But I don't regret my decision Do you have any plans for it? Interested in any track days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Welcome aboard. The RX8 is a good car, though I've never actually driven one on the road I used to race one when they were new. If you want to learn to slide there are many options. Keep an eye on the events calendar for trackdays and the like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Greetings TDU, gotta work on that post count! Thank you everyone else for your welcome. Plans for the car: NA tweakage for the time being Get some spare wheels for summer and play time Keep it out of the hedges Track it at least once Get an all-over respray once the goddamn construction boom has stopped. I've already lost one windscreen! It's my commuter and occasional family taxi, so I need to keep it fairly hospitable and well-behaved. I hope you 86-ers will be able to help me in keeping it in tip-top shape. 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted December 25, 2015 I use mine as a daily car, have done for nearly three years now, it's about to tick over 80K miles. I compete in the sprint series, take it on big euro trips and also use it for my work too. I've got some modifications to the suspension and stuff, but it's perfectly liveable and in terms of handling I've raised the bar over the stock car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
