I totally get the idea of avoiding computers in the car side of things. My Dad and I used to work on old Holdens (GM) when I was a kid, and I ended up with carburetted Datsuns for a long time. I wish we got some of the cool 70's American products down here in Australia, though we get some equally neat imports to make up for it I suppose. But it's certainly a good hobby to have outside of work I reckon. And haha, yeah the rx-8 probably isn't the best example of a newer car in terms of maintenance or reliability :) But I do love rotors!
