All good questions. There's way too much for me to be answering. I'm pretty much a n00b to the RX-8 and this site. There's plenty of people on here to point you in the right direction though.
Good luck and welcome to the club. |
OK
first watch this.. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting then read the sitckys.. and the faqs is always a good idea.. beers :beer: |
Check the oil at least once a week, the lube system injects it into the engine and the level goes down.
DON'T shut the engine down in the first couple of minutes - it will wet the plugs with gas (flooding) and won't restart easily. If you drive like my granny, you may get as high as 19 mpg (on the highway!)...... 147. S |
since the car uses oil. is there any special oil i should use i have always used royal purple.
|
You are supposed to use "mineral" oil.
People who use synthetic go to hell when they die. I don't make the rules, people........ S |
Hello. Search.
|
Don't drive hard till it is warmed up. Top speed is a 150+
Enjoy it. Post some pictures. |
oil. let it warm up. 18-21mpg. 148 limited. Good talk.

thanks guys yeah search police suck just like the real ones! they dont give ya a break. lol

rwhp is like 175-185 I believe, 5.8 is the best 0-60 ive seen, but usually its in the mid 6's. You can accomplish a sub 7 second 0-60 launch without trashing your clutch, but it you want a sub 6 second 0-60, you need to launch at 7K plus.......ouch.
