my rx8's oil light comes on and goes off. does that mean that its low on oil or the engine is damaged? this happened while i was racing a g35. i was at 60mph and shifted down to 3rd and blew the doors of that g35!!!

 

were you street racing?

 

If your oil is low enough the light is coming on, that is not good. Why don't you check it?
Are you sure the G35 wasn't driven by a 58 yr old woman?
Are you usually a winner?

 

yes i beat that g35, its a 2006 6spd. the owner is my buddy. well i did check the oil level it was a little low and all i had was 5-30w oil so i put some in there. i will change the oil this week.

 

does that mean that its low on oil or the engine is damaged? Usually one or the other. If low, damage will soon follow. Was it just the light, or did the pressure go down as well? There was an issue with oil pans on the early RX-8s that the light might come on even if oil level was OK. Check that out before your next trip to the drag strip.

Why would you downshift on a drag strip?

well actually it didnt happen at the drag strip, i didnt even participate we were coming home from the drag strip. there were no cars on the highway so we decided to do a few runs. thats when i saw the oil light come on and go off.

how would you know if the pressure goes down?

 

Yeah, that's what I though...
You do know that talking about street racing is against forum rules? It's also stupid, imo

 

ohh com on dont tell me that you havent you done it? haha i bet everyone in this forum has done it. even the people who came up with stupid retarded idea that its against the forum rules has done it.
im not saying thats its not wrong and no i dont do it every chance i get. like i said there were almost no car and we only did one run. yes its illegal and yes you could end in big trouble, but whats the point of a living a life if your not willing to take a few risks.

 

I never said I did or didn't. That's irrelevant. It's against forum rules to POST or DISCUSS street racing.

 

Yeah, just say that you had been driving hard next time.... When you say it was a "little low", how low are we talking?

 

Your 2nd grade english teacher is spinning in her grave.

 

i havent done it

 

i smoked a g35 the other day too, and just today at the stop light i smoked an SI off the line

 

That requires eyesight and an IQ higher than 3.

i beat a ZR1 in an illegal street race but luckily i drove down to mexico to race him.

i just downshifted into 2nd gear to 9000 rpms and blew the doors off his car.

 

Oh good. I can see another part-out thread coming. I call dibs on the ashtray assembly assuming it's still intact after the accident.

 

I've never done it either.

oh yea I sense a huge fail in this thread, and the OP.
