Don't Flame Me, Advice for my big decision to buy an RX8
Good info, thanks again
I think from poking at the subject, I'd really want to do premix for track days (reminds me of having my old 2 stroke motox bikes)
For those that do this, we just measuring out a quantity of oil for a full tank, dumping in and doing some herky-jerky stuff to dilute it out?

I just dump and pump and have never had an issue .......

5.R3 is only offered in the 09's I believe..bigger wheels Recaro seats etc etc but same engine(3 oil injectors on the 09's regardless of r3 or not.
6.never worn a helmet in it but at 6'2" I would prob b a little tight but doablel.

This is an ECU flash? Or separate piggyback chip? What's the consensus on gains?
Also, I've confirmed through guys smarter than you all (ouch! just kiddin ya', I do very much appreciate all the quality responses!), the only difference in the R3 suspension is the Bilsteins themselves ... no special springs or bushings or bigger role bars, so heck, can do an R3 suspension on the cheap. I really wanted to drill down into this, because I drove an anniversary edition that had the extra suspension and it felt ideal, good to know it was only the dampeners. There's also a foam filled front suspension cross member on the R3, but that's splittin' hairs IMO
Sport model 06 or later, without all the power seat crap / weight and and the eletronic driver assist nannies looks to def be the way to go for track toy / daily driver set up

In short I couldn't justify the price bump for the R3 in any way what-so-ever except to say I had an R3 and it had recaro seats and whatnot
