Details on super charge rx8, 4AT
===============================
this is what i told the owner after i drove it:
1. your mounting is out, although u just got it from the dealer.
2. your super charged is as fast as my NA tuned.
3. sorry bro to announce the bad news but its the cruel truth. blame it on the tuning. it just doesn't give u the extra go.
a bit of history:
1. our new member is a car lover, and 8 lover, he got his car from a dealer, recond and with super charge, but car jerk a lot when he drive it.
2. he got it re-tuned at the local shop. using emanage.
what i think:
its like no super charge. big different compare to turbo 8. no torque. even hi end power band also same with my NA.
what i recommend:
get a new set of mounting, greddy pulley, de-cat, cold air intake. try to get a tower bar tat fit with the super charge. get it service again. if its possible, do the tuning again.

Dyno not possible. the DSC will be on, even u tuned it fully off. the dyno machine here is not a go for rx8. i am not sure whats the exact problem with it.
I think i can't write this summary of the rx8 if i wouldn't know u, lennon, combo8, zamri, yohji, marcus and the rest of the club members. especially kong.
And marcus is doing his job guys, he doesn't go TT for a reason. but i am sure when he is free he is doing things for the club. the super charge rx8 is introduce to the sabah branch by marcus. theShortshortD**k Huahahhaah
so guys working together and learn from each other is important!

waiting for months is command thing la. i have been waiting for wangan's shipment for almost 3 months already. if want fast, then try japanparts.com, the whole process take about 3 weeks to receive the parts, but have to deal with the tax officer yourself.

effie, ya may be he did.. hmmmm.... i will check his garage see got another rx8 or not lol!
jaii, no la. its titanium grey mazdaspeed from japan. the car tuning not ngam malaysia, so the dealer did tuning balik by local boy. i mean i am not the only one who drove tat car that day. i """fill throttle""" the car and get the same reaction and acceleration like mine. even paparazzi say why no power one. the tuning must be conservative.
wood, my car will soon look like type R. just bought autobahn front from wangan.

Blasphemy! Your 'chopped' car looks mucho better-o than the type-r-o!
Dang that Autobahn front looks good on the red. If I may add my honesto opiniono... You need aftermarket rims and lower it. Try chopping that in.. You may like it

Autobahn front bumper on a red 8???? Benny..... looks like ur trying hard to make ur 8 look like a Ferrari ...... My honesto opinniono is that Autobahn kit shud only be put on Black colour 8's......... I'd get that bumper if my 8 was black...... Just look at Raja Firdaus 8...... most chunnest black Autobahn'ed 8 in KL......
