All good questions. There's way too much for me to be answering. I'm pretty much a n00b to the RX-8 and this site. There's plenty of people on here to point you in the right direction though.

Good luck and welcome to the club.

Check the oil at least once a week, the lube system injects it into the engine and the level goes down.

DON'T shut the engine down in the first couple of minutes - it will wet the plugs with gas (flooding) and won't restart easily.

If you drive like my granny, you may get as high as 19 mpg (on the highway!)......

147.

You are supposed to use "mineral" oil.

People who use synthetic go to hell when they die. I don't make the rules, people........

Congrats and welcome to the club. Watch out for the search police - they run thick in here.

rwhp is like 175-185 I believe, 5.8 is the best 0-60 ive seen, but usually its in the mid 6's. You can accomplish a sub 7 second 0-60 launch without trashing your clutch, but it you want a sub 6 second 0-60, you need to launch at 7K plus.......ouch.
