hi..i juz got my license recently and thinkin of gettin a manual rx 8...been wonderin tho...how is it compared to the new 6 at??wad are the prices differences??and do PIs here offer manual ones??if yes which r the ones??i gave a call to HY recently and they said they do offer manual but declined to give any pricin or details and asked me to go to their showroom instead...and wad shud i look for wen gettin a manual one??wad about sunroof??

 

how about a dictionary

 

tats not very frenly..how bout u shut yer mouth

 

Yeah dupa, not everyone has English as their mother tongue. Can you speak, read and write every language in the world? If you have nothing good to contribute, just don't post.

ddasuki: manual or auto depends a lot on your driving style. Of course the manual is still more powerful and engaging to drive than the auto, but lacks the convenience of the auto trans especially useful in the type of city driving that we do here. Yes, PIs offer manual 5MTs and 6MTs but usually on an indent basis so maybe that's why HY does not have the prices and details readily available (either that or they are slackers.. ha ha). Nothing particularly different about a manual 8 except the gearshift throws are fairly short compared to regular manual cars. I like it, but you might or might not so try it for yourself. MM 8s come with sunroof as standard but PI 8s usually do not come with sunroof unless you specially include that option.

 

ohh thats right the east forums come to live around this time .. my bad

sounded like some fast and furious just got my license kid .. you guys have a nice discusssion then .. and yeah welcome to the forum

 

nice counter attack

flyer has already replied...so there is no need to me to reply anything. but read on...maybe page 2, 3 onwards will have the info you are looking for. no worries

 

thankx bro...btw heard from a few of my frens tat addin a sunroof need to change the insurance or somethin?and wads the biggest rim size i can put on my new 8??and btw r u drivin a manual as well??

 

have you decided to get one? i got mine from mm 4 mths ago. the one at PIs comes in basic stuff. no leather, sun roof, body kit, big rim etc. not sure of their service too. apparently, MM does not entertain customers who bot their from PIs. just some basic info. hope it helps..

 

Not sure about insurance cost especially if you are talking about adding a sunroof to your 8 compared with having factory sunroof. What I've heard about aftermarket sunroof scares me quite frankly. I know of people with 20" rims locally, but I wouldn't recommend it. Oversized rims gets expensive exponentially (rims & tires), increase in fuel consumption and loss of performance. Mine's a 6MT.

 

Hycarz selling the 4AT about 85k. 5MT also about the same price. That was when I went down about 2 plus weeks back. AFAIK, the hycarz rx-8 is quite a bare car. Correct me, if I'm wrong. Their car comes in 16" sports rim and no leather seats and no sunroof.

u can also do a search for world of wheels. The guy Jimmy from WOW posts here regularly. Not sure about the differences between WOW and Hycarz offerings.

Also, check out whether the PI is tied to a good workshop. Last thing u want is to have ur car meddled by people who don't have an inkling about taking care of a rotary engine.

Dupa:
Don't see any logic behind ur posts. Pardon me for my lack of intellect. Wat dictionary har?

 

coooooolllll.....wad bout prices from mm bout their 5mt and 6mt..mm gives factory sunroof and leather seats as well??and wad workshops r good for rotary??had good reviews bout garage r

 

"Hycarz selling the 4AT about 85k"?!?!
I went down and check, they are selling their auto 4speed at 94988 and 6speed auto at 98,988.

So much difference!!

Can let us have the number of the sales person u spoke to?

 

and btw if u buy manual ones issit already come wit short shifters?or have to install em anyways??

 

MM comes with sunroof, 18", leather seats and 2 coolers and boot lip.

Garage R and MG are well known workshops for servicing rotaries. :D

MM doesn't carry any 5MT. If u r getting from MM, there is only the type S which is a 6 MT 231hp car.

Jammer bro:
u got pm. not convenient to reveal here.

 

isee....and wads the price of the 6mt from mm compared to 5mt from PI??

 

You pay a premium for 3year warranty instead of the normal 1 year you will get from PIs.

 

thanx bro....btw i saw the RE bodykit and fell inlove...wads the price for it huh and where can i get it fixed up?and does doin tat affect the insurance in anyway?

 

paging for coupe07....

coupe07...please come to the information counter thank you

*ddasuki...coupe07 is the one you should talk to. he can get you jap schoolgirls if you want as well*

 

lai liao lai liao.....

standby next mth to see a black RE kitted rx8.

 

Jap schgals? realli? Racequeens can or not? :P

 

sch gals r gud...but yeah rather focus on my ride now...hehe...could be attractin better gurls than sch gurls.........lol.....but anyways back on track.....where huh and how much?

 

85k is after finance rebate. Price went up with increase COE prices I guess.

 

Stock shifter on the manual already short, but there are aftermarket shifters that are shorter. Totally optional, up to your "feeling" on the gearshifts.

 

thanx for the help bro...anyways i'm goin down this weekend to MM and HY to find out more bout the prices...THANX!!hop to get it asap

 

haiz,

u dun understand bro.

these jap school girls are not really jap school girls.

they are race queens in disguise and they are the best mod u will ever have.

they will help polish yr short shifter and shift yr gear for u in precision
and bring u from 0 - 100 in sub 7s. even if u drive a 4AT. LOL!
