Erm, no. The 20B is the 2 litre 3 rotor engine. Ours (13B) only have 2. The Eunos Cosmo comes with the 20B. (Eunos to Mazda is what Lexus is to Toyota) So, Ben you are half-right!

so i guess i would not be able to take over him anyway. and i figure just if lennon is here. and he would be able to cucuk him to the end.

yarrrr........ I was amazed initially when i heard that Mazda was able to produce 250ps without the need of forced induction...... I mean, look at the previous RE that needed 2 turbos to produce 255-280ps

I just serviced my car in C&C last week and they told me a couple of things. Was wondering if anyone of you got the same comments as well.

1. Use Mineral Oil instead of Synthetic as it affects the engine in the long run. This was the latest directive from Mazda Japan.

2. The reason why Malaysia does not have new RX-8 is because Mazda Japan does not want to sell any units in Malaysia. Too many engine problems. The reason is ONLY 1: Our petrol quality sucks. That is why in SG they sell but not here. How wonderful.

3. They recommended me to try Mobil for petrol and never ever pump in Petronas... I thought Malaysia Boleh...

4. And NEVER EVER try pumping in V-Power....

Any comments???
