RX8 - Polo-Shirt
Dear All,
Have not seen much 8 talking now....Let's start One.
I'm trying to consolidate some pics like...RX8, Rotor Shape, ....
Going to customise a Polo-Shirt ...probably in BLACK. Not too much ....but just a few good ones.
ANY ONE INTERESTED???
Hope all of you are having "gun" on the gas....
BTW, I'm awaiting Amsoil (Engine Oil Maker) to provide some research & competition article to prove synthetic has been use in their races for rotary engines....
Cheers

Sounds like a good idea.
UG, I'll be using the HKS rotary oil, 10W-40. Fairly expensive though but its suppose to be "low-ash" (from translation of the HKS website!)
I know Spyder is using the Mazda rotary oil while someone else is using Mobil 1 synthetic.

UG, I understand Garage R's price for the oil is pretty close to the retail price listed in the HKS Japan website - thats abt $130 for 4 litres. 
The oil is in stock already.
We need more than 4 litres so probably have to get 2 cans. Leftover can be used for top up.

As far as your question is concern, I initially thought you may get an idea of the PIs that we went to if you went through the posts!
Anyway, I bought mine off Garage R - they may not come across as the cheapest initially, but everything on the car is factory fitted originals, ie leather seats, Bose 9 speaker 6 CD changer etc.
Of course the rear glass had to be changed, and they used original Mazda glass while some others may use replica glass from elsewhere.
Best thing I find abt them is that they are honest, open and direct - no unkept promises. So yes, I am very satisfied with their service overall.
I will let the others chime in on their experience with other PIs.
Cheers.

Hi guys...
Thanks for the advice..
What about the transmission? 5MT or 6MT? thinking of the type S but think 5MT will be better in term of day to day driving.. any comment?
I got quote for the type S at $147 from HuaYang and $133 for the 5MT...
Regards

Well, the torque for the 5MT is slightly more, so shld be a bit better for town driving. But I have no complaints with my 6 speed. It is geared nicely so no issues on lack of low end grunt. Besides, shifting is such a joy on this car!
Don't forget you do get quite a lot more stuff with the Type S apart from the engine and gearbox, such as bigger brakes, 18" rims, sports suspension...
