Hey folks! New 6 owner here from scotland, I really kind of stumbled in to owning it. I never would have considered one but I was offered in in PX for my RX-7 ( pic) which I was (painfully) parting with in search of a more "sensible" car. I was originally looking for a forester (I like subarus but wanted something a bit different from the usual impreza), but when the guy looking to buy my rex said the magic "256hp" my ears perked up  (forester XT only has 210) I've had the car 1 full day now and I'm really enjoying it already. After owning 2 cars with no features except a basic stereo and a/c, this thing is packed to the brim with electronics. I'm still in a state of shock about how many gadgets it has (electric seats, bose stereo, cruise control, etc). Bonuses are brand new rear brakes and MOT already done on Thursday! I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum and doing some bits and bobs with the car already considering H&R springs and adjusting the rather difficult clutch. I have a few newbie questions and posted them in the general forum. Help would be appreciated: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=10378
