I see you are a new owner and have a few threads with questions about your new 8. You should probably start reading these to learn more about your car and to avoid any misunderstanding:

By the way, if you get a chance check out the local 8 club (click on the pic on my signature).

I know you are new, but come on man... That's pretty bad. With a quote like this

I use diesel. Although, my flux capasitor takes weekly garbage
I get my tires from other peoples' cars. Saves me some cash
You just have to realize it's sarcasm... I know it doesn't translate very well through text, but yeah... He was kidding.



Instead of making a bunch of threads, just read for a while. Read up in the tech garage. Go back a few pages and look for a thread called "sneaky plan to prolong renesis life" or something like that. There are a few threads in there like that. Read those, and just dig around the site. There is a lot of good info on here if you look.

If you expect people to spoon feed you everything, you are going to get junk like that.

^ That quote from RX8Soldier is not part of this thread?

Anyway, if the op is smart (unless he is dumb), he shouldn't be asking these stupid questions.

this op has way to many threads going at once is why, instead of putting it all in one thread he opened 10 with a single queastion in each.

It's not part of this one, but I'm pretty sure it's where the OP got the quote.

Yeah, I have my engine cover hanging in my storage closet on my balcony apt... it DEFINITELY slowed the wind down on my balcony about 25 HP. So I keep it up there. Keeps the balcony more enjoyable when my hair is not flying everywhere due to outrageous wind speeds...and makes my car faster.

Seriously?!

Yeah, that was a chick burn...

Sorry couldn't resist
