09s do have better fan control--but they will still warm up pretty good. We have a couple of guys that track with us. They are faster and they do have a better cooling system. But, they still need a little help, just like the si's
funny thing is I havent seen them use more oil than we do?

the radiator will fit--i didnt know they changed that? What changes did they do?
The fan motors will fit ours, but we dont have the capacity for a 3 speed control. The flex a lite controller helped me a lot.
The water pump will fit but you have to use the S2 pulley with it and it is underdriven
the front bumper--yep fenders and headlights are required.
It would only be off help at speed.

I thought they changed the front cover a bit to fit the new water pump?
I might try to get a s2 front bumper and heir related stuff. My headlights are all blurry and im gonna replace it anyway. I dunno

will distilled water/water wetter combination produce lower temperatures on the track?

The water pump will fit, and works fine. They only moved one bolt to stop people accidentally putting the wrong part on and wondering why the pulley was a different size IMO.
You can either leave that bolt out and let the o-ring take care of it, or just file the bolt hole out to get the new one in. Either works.

Thanks for that info about the water pump. I thought it could fit..
Concerning the coolant question---SEARCH!!
Cooling gets complicated if you take it to the edge. Just keep the coolant temps ( at the upper radiator hose) less than 220F and don't worry about what is in the radiator. Now if you want to run at 220F + for any lenght of time--then it starts to get really complicated. There is a lot of info out there already.

Cooling is a system, every single component work as a team to produce desire results
Distilled water always works better than any eg mix, question is u do need some eg to keep the seals lubricated.
Ww gives u the same lubrication effect. But question is can your other component handle the extra heat.

Hey,
I just got my 05 Rx8 shinka. Currently the car has 51K on it, seems to be running fine. I'm looking into changing oil soon but have run into the synthetic vs non problem. I haven't read enough post on this thread to get a "real" answer (because no one really has one) BUT maybe someone savvy will be able to answer this...
lots of people run synth, lots of people don't... so at what mileage have people blown their engines? did they use synth or regular? any trend...?
thanks and hopefully someone has some insight.

Are you aware of the fact that manufacturers have to abide laws?
This means that what they recommend in country A they don't in country B.
****, according to your theory I should service my car once a year or every 12000miles.
