A torque converter goes into an automatic transmission...
A catalytic converter is a part of the exhaust system...

A midpipe is always a good thing...

Factory flash...

You can rev all the way to redline, but you will have to get your foot off the gas and let the rev's drop to below 7k before the transmission will allow the shift to occur.

Well reviews do say the GTI does 0-100km/h in 6.8 secs whereas the RX8 does the same in 5.9 secs...Turbo or no Turbo. Spec sheets do have at least 80% accuracy even though manufacturers tend to exagerate.

Maybe MAN8 missed shifting into a gear??? Sean....whereever you are, pls demystify us

Puzzled now?

rx8's low end torque is far weaker than GTI..... last time I seat on gti, I felt that its easier to launch with DSG gearbox..... have you seen Best Motoring Japan's review on GTI? I gotta check it drag result again...

hi ppl, my car facing a problem, like something loose inside the engine, happens when idling when the rpm is about 600 something inside the engine bay and will cause the pedals to vibrate yr foot. also happens when moving from slow speeds as i toggle the clutch and gas pedal (where the RPM tends to dropa little) some **** is vibrating unnarutally.. at 1st impression it could be the engine mounting but then again it could be something else..
