The old rx7's had to turbo to match the HP of the RX8.
Boosting the 8 means, not if it's gonna go just when.

And yes I'm gonna boost. loloo

ya it turned out to be just the oil, but i had to get it towed, i couldnt jack the car up as the car was on a complete steep hill, oil was everywhere under the car, inside the brakes an everything, so i had to get it towed.

the lines going to the BHR ATF cooler.

Turns out reusing the factory clamps there will fail.

On a side note, it appears when the AT transmission has insufficient oil, it will completely disengage so you can not use specific gears, in my case 1st and 2nd. But reverse was fully working.
