So very sweet! I must ask, especially with the addition of the SA, which of the 3 remaining rotaries do you like to drive the most and why?

thanks, right after I bought the SA, I left for a 1 year south Korea assignment (US Army ) my daily for four years was the GSLSE (street ported & 4.77 gears ) the FD it's stock low miles but it's a dent magnet. (seems like the metal in the body is thinner than the FB)

I wish, but the garage is small, plus I have a lot of spare parts, engines, trans, etc. The RX8 stays outside, and it's the daily driver.

Where did you get the rear spoiler? I found a 3-piece version but would prefer that one for my LS swap SE.

Garage problem solved: My mother bought a house next to mine; she doesn't drive. FD and FB parked in her garage and RX8 in mine. One extra space for another toy.

Well I am almost up to you. I just purchased a 85 GSL-SE which I am starting a restoration on to go with my 2009 RX8. I love your FD. I almost bought a 93 FD new when they first came out. I kick myself now for not buying it.
Also I did not catch if you are active military but if not still thanks for your service.

when the FD came out, msrp = $30 - $36 k that was more than my net worth then, I kick myself for not test driving it. It was faster than a Ferrari back then, but the cabin got really really hot.

Is that the reproduction kamei front spoiler? I have a new one that's plastic on the shelf but yours looks like it's made of fg.
