Hey folks, since I'm now a mod of this forum, just wanted to say hi, and to state the one and only rule:

Keep it clean! (I'll be watching you!)

Anyways, since the car is not yet out, it will be a bit before we have to worry about this forum but once it is, all the RX-8 questions related to problems of any kind or any general RX-8 questions can be asked here!

Enjoy!

Yeah Herc, and a HUGE wing (not the same color as the car), and stickers, and a big booming sound system, and those cool neon lights under the sides of the car, and fuzzy dice on the rearview, and...

Sorry...got carried away yanking your chain...

Question What about?

What opinions/tech know-how does anyone have about supercharging, versus turbocharging?

Anyone know of anyone besides Atkinsrotary that does this?

What about mild/bridge/extend/etc. porting now that the ports have been shifted in their positioning from previous versions?

Comments? Replies?

I can see it now…

The first troll entering this forum making comments about the lack of torque on the 8, wishing that there was more straight line performance.

Quote from Masashi Oda
Asst Manager, Chassis Development Group 2
The RENESIS engine has very smooth and flat power characteristics that you can use flexibly when cornering. It lets you hit the throttle that much earlier in a "fast-in, fast-out" situation. We also aimed at giving the car exceptional handling and grip. The steering is so sharp and responsive through the curves that you feel as if your muscles are directly connected to the tires...
Drool Hercules, Drool like you've never drooled before!!! :D :D
That is drool on you keyboard isn't it?
