As for the oil, use only rotary oil or semi-synthetic, fully synthetic is not encourage by Mazda Japan....... You can get Trust oil from Wangan Racing at Sunway.....

I'm Backkkkkk!!!!!
Hello Boys,
President here......
I'm back in the forum. Haven't been in here because this month has been quite a frenzy month for me.
1st, I was in china from the 8th till the 15th. We were all preparing for the Japan GT series here and on our convoy from PJ to KL for the Japan GT roadshow, we got our asses kissed and we also kissed some other cars' asses too. HAHAHAHA
I only drove my car 4 days after I came back and we got into this collision all because of a civic that thinks his car has more braking power than an 8's.
Luckily, My damage was minimal and about 1k and 5 days to fix. But I'm really sorry for Darul, who has go go without his ride for 1 month at least. This is what happens if the convoy doesn't stick in line..... (Pls stick in line next time and don't overtake the lead car for any reason).
2nd, During Japan GT, I had the pleasure of meeting one of our Sabah members (Azmee) who is also a party animal like me. We came home at 6am every morning for 4 days. HAHAHAH. Hopefully, he will bring back and share his trip experiences with his fellow 8 members in Sabah.
Now, I'm in the process of shifting my office and I took the time to read our forum from pages 150 - this page. Ouch...got headache liow.
To all new members, pls identify yourself with your real name and handphone number, so that i can sms to you if we have a gathering. I will be planning some new events for the club soon....
I've done some cosmetics changes to my car when it came out from the workshop. My RE gauge pods came and it's simply amazing to look at night. I've also bought the GReddy air diversion plate, and had my car serviced at C&C Jalan 222. I'm using the Trust RE2 oil 10W-50 and had my car diagnosed and retuned. The oil is very good and my idling is much better. The oil is also colder than MOTUL. My temps are all lower because of the oil. I've also switched to Petronas Primax 3 and it feels stronger than the old primax. Unfortunatly, the consumption has gone up by a fair bit.
I am also reporting to everyone that, THE BOY..Benny, is the president for the rx8 club malaysia - sabah division. Congrats and I hope to see you in Sabah soon to give you some guide lines about the club here. Keep up the good work. I am sure to go to Sabah in July or August to see you guys there. ( I will inform you when)
We have a gathering tomorrow (Friday) at our usual hangout - Dataran Prima at 9.00pm onwards. Probably after the gathering, we will catch Superman Returns at One Utama or CineLeisure. Anyone coming, pls sms to me.
Take Care and rx8s Rule!

Spare Parts
Darul, checked your tail light price... RM 750.00 for new one (2 months by ship) or you can call Kenny. Singapore, RM 500 for new tail light.
I paid 50 bucks for fixing my tail lamp coz it was seeping water (like aquarium). So far no water in the tail light already.
Kent Tan, checked your door panel rubber....RM 250 for new one (2 months by ship) or add RM 100 for air frieght ( 2 weeks)

This carbon can 'eat' the apex seal day by day, before it blows the engine......
