RX8 / EVo8 / Integra Type R for RENT
Morning Guys,
Im using my Bro's a/c to share something interesting from the papers today..
As i was flipping thru the classifieds Ads a/no 361 (Vehicles for Rental), I was taken aback to this Ad that has the above 3 prized Jap Sports car for rent.
Any takers? Would you rent yours too? Wonder why........

Hmmm...
I suggest.. everyone in the forum fork out say $50.. $9000 div $50, ok, we need 180 ppl...
Rent three cars... All park in my house.. Then own time own target .... take a queue no. Swee bo?
Just like in Jap, pay $$ to test out the car whatever way you want...

How can a torque converter killing way be considered "the right way"? If you wouldn't do it on your car, is there really a point to it? Anyway, some people have already done it before and already got the performance figures so save the $100 a day and buy everyone a round of drinks.

You are right. A round of drinks is better especially if mine is paid for.
The torque converter killing way is how the manufacturers get the timings in the first place. Not only for ATs, they also trash the MTs to get the good 0-100 timings.
I wonder who will be responsible if i overboost the evo and it blows?
Is it a company rentng out the cars or private owners?

Wah... suddenly so fierce. I guess people always will defend what they have. AT owners will say AT good and MT owners will say MT good. Golfers say golf is better than basketball and basketball players say basketball is better than golf. And etc etc.
Its the person behind the wheel that makes the car good.

Uncle TanIf I had all the money in this world I would buy 2 cars of the same model, an Auto and a Manual Gear cars.
And would drive it according to what I required to achieve on that day. slow and easy for the heavy traffic or fast and exciting on Malaysia Nth-Sth highway

No.. not uptight at allI recognise that their capabilities are indeed different, and theres nothing wrong with airing your thoughts at all
I don't think I'm sensitive because I do in fact agree with what you say, just that I don't find your 'harmless joking moment' very funny, and I'm sure others would agree, but thats just my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
cheers
