Bye Bye... For Now At Least

[arbess]

To the SAU group of members,

I would just like to say it has been a fantastic 3-4 years contributing to this excellent site. I have met and made friends with many on the site in and around Brisbane. SAU has got to be the most respectable and largest forum that I know, where there is a large wealth of information ready at your finger tips.

It is time for me to depart from the forums for a little while, maybe a couple of years. I recently sold the R32, the second one I owned, and now have moved on into the rotary world.

May you all enjoy your rides and keep developing this site more on top of what it already is.

Peace and farewell,

00MFG (Arbess)

Which chook cooker did you go for mate.........I like the Series 4 RX7's (shape) although the interiors look real oldschool

You know you will be back...........It will go well for a while and then blow up. Then you will miss the reliability of your old 32

Good luck mate , we will be here when you come back.........

[PWND]

by his profile, i am guessing rx8

[arbess]

LOL @ your replies.... your supposed to wish me well.

But yes there will be a time where I will consider the RB's again. Though when people say reliability of the RB's, I would agree but only to the extent of the engine itself, the remaining car itself can be questionable.

Yes I am in an RX-8 and wait for it................................................ warrranty........................................... cheap insurance.................................... and lots of head turns for the possies out there.

I will try and head out to events as the rx8 club seems a little "inactive" and the boostcrusing club are a bunch of "[insert imaginative word here]".

Look out for me if and when I come back because it will NOT be in a 32 or 33, nor will I be in single turbo set up, as per usual.

My departing quote is "With great power comes great brakes" - Superman with boost.

dude... nice... um i want the ipod/iphone adaptor that integrates with the stereo. got that? =)

[Chris Rogers]

possibly

[Jdfnq]

Throw one of the new turbo kits on the RX8 and you are half way redeemed....

Great little chassis... Badly under powered though

[PWND]

plus it is a rotary...

what's the life span on those things these days?

[Parag0n]

It depends on how you drive it. Like all cars. The 13B Renesis in the RX8 is very detuned, mainly for emissions so they could sell them in California, US.

To be honest though my RX7 makes my old GTR feel like a pig in the corners.

[Imtorqing]

RX8 mmmmmmm is it pink or yellow and have you put the frangapani on the back lol.............

Very nice car but yes I agree underpowered.......Pity they didn't boost it like the last one.....a factory turbo version would have sold well

Apparently they do handle very well judging by the reviews I have read about them over the years.......

So when do you open your salon?

Nah just kidding, they're a nice car! I hear ya on the insurance and warranty thing too, good move

[ZENNON]
