Got another Rotary!!

[DougGTO]

Hi All,

So I've been a member of the forum for a few years now on and off (about 8 years) as i used to own a second gen NA about 12 years ago.

Well I'm finally back in a Rotary as I did a straight swap with a friend of mine (he got a Volvo V50 and i got his .

She's a 2003 231 model in Velocity Red with Black leather interior with 83000 miles on the original engine. My friend bought it from the original owner in 2018. As such the history with the car immense.

I have the following:
Invitation from the Mazda Dealer to preview the "BRAND NEW" Mazda RX8 at a special after hours event.
Original Order Form
Sales Invoice
Multiple Recalls
And loads of invoices.

My very good friend installed a Toyo Sports exhaust, a set of Rota Alloys (they're yellow) and a set of Meisterr Coilovers. All very nice but not really my style so I'm going to look at offloading them soon in favour of original parts.

My plan is to return her to stock (ish) and enjoy the car. Its a second car so the mileage won't be creeping up too much.

Congrats! Sounds like a dream deal! 
Returning your car to stock spec sounds like a very sensible strategy. Do you have some photos to share?
