my rx8 :(
how come my 8 is so much slower than my 7???
i dose not make sense, i traded in my 93 FD my dad gave me for the 08 6speed
the sales man said it would have so much more power, and said the blue smoke coming out of the exhaust means its modified??
i need help,and i hear a tick and my friend said my lifters are dry
wat do

It's because 8>7. That is the only reasonable explanation. The blue smoke definitely means it is modified, it probably has 2 turbocharges and one supercharger. The 7 will always be faster because like I said early 7<8 which interpolates a faster 1/4 mile time no matter what you do to the 8. Problem solved. Sorry buddy looks like you got screwed w/out lube.

before you get a car, you supposed to do your home work. Of course the rx8 is slower than the 7, do you see any turbos attached to the engine on the 8? But at least you get a better handling car.
I love blue, but if it's coming out of my exhaust I will be concerned.
and what tick are you talking about?... filters supposed to be dry, unless he is talking about the K&N oil kit...

well the salesman told me the 8 doesn't afraid of anything. and you say turbovs and supercharged??
like the car vin desil had??
that must be why i get 35mpg in the city because the design is so efficient?
have any of you guy herd of the tornado air??
i bought one for my FD but i was not big enough the intake was 4 1/2 inches and was covered with a pantyhose foot and the thing was shaped like a snail shell it was weird for it not to have a air filter??
but it was so fast, i had to pay 10k + my FD for my 8 and it has only 55k on it i think its a good deal.

There are people born in car forums, and there are people born in humor forums. It's pretty easy to tell who is who.

Forum Troll dines within Failboat. Failboat rots Forum Troll above the worn extract. Why does a metric award Forum Troll? Why does Failboat participate without the ground? After Failboat hesitates Forum Troll.

i was born to rock the failboat, until i crash to my death like aliyahs airplane
turbovs=turbo-vehicular-speed...... duh
anybody have the write up on the b18z swap. i think a new motor would fix my problem?
