Owner from Portugal
 

Hi guys,

Im a proud Rx8 owner, unfortunatly the Rx8 comunity around here it's like similar to 0, in the mazda portuguese forum there's like 3 threads on the Rx8 part, and a few answer... bought it back to 2015, and take care of it by reading, and made some errors by ignorance because just didn't get to listen in the proper timming, or listen to the sellers advice and ex-owner... "use the most expensive petrol and oil.."

Fortunatly i dont have much time to ride it, i have it cause i love the car since it was shown for the first time here in Portugal, and im an occasional adrenaline seeker, and i love bends and not straight front kinda drive, and god the car is good on bends, my mate he has a mx5 described the rx8, after drive it, as the racing couch.

Well, moving forward, January 11 2018, my mates invited me to a dyno test, and i said, yeah why not... and well it was kinda disapointing, even when i told myself, well 170~180 rwhp i would be good enought for a ~40k mile car (62k km)... surprise, the result is on attachment...

I already bought a compression tester, im going to do the test, but honestly i dont feel like its lost of compression, the car feels great to drive, but in the other hand the graphic totally says "your car is dead..."

Any opinions?

For now i can only learn from you guys, hope in the future i can contribute!

PS: Sorry about my english...
