Quote from that guy ^ "Once again i think many owners are not warming up the engine long enough before redlining and running hard. And once again, i firmly believe you can not depend on the temperature gauge reaching normal operating temp."

Owners Manual ""To protect the engine, when the engine coolant temp is low, the engine does not run at high speeds. The fuel will be cut at an rpm lower then the red zone."

Thats seems to be on the same topic. It says you can not redline or run hard before the engine is fully warmed up. It is a saftey feature built in that cuts off fuel to prevent the rpm's from reaching the redline before normal operating temp is reached. Seems to me you can not comprehend the enlish. So as for the low-grade Darwin Award, it has been returned to its owner.

if thats not what we're talking about then where were you going with this?

Once again, do some thinking on your own and for yourself, and I'm being nice here. But I don't have to be nice here because you bit yourself in the ***. You can choose to make yourself look stupid but don't do that to me.

So people can warm their car up past the engine cutoff point, yes? And plenty of people's engines are dying before 50,000 miles. How many sensors are there monitoring coolant temp (and water and oil temp located at how many points)? How many other kinds of sensors monitoring whatever other relevant factors at how many points? It's not like we have molecular-level super assay sensors monitoring the condition of water, oil, and coolant among 1000 other factors.

Let's give you just one analogy. I met a famous molecular biologist who studied capsaicin and who says chili peppers are good for you. So I asked how many factors did she study? What about old-fashioned wear and tear? I mean when you eat a lot of hot stuff, you get a bad case of diarrhea, right? When that happens, is your stomach telling you the capsaicin is good? One or a couple of positive effects of capsaicin don't paint the whole picture. Use some common sense.

We can't practically get the whole picture. Our engine sensors don't get the whole picture. The fact that I've reached a point where the engine doesn't cut off doesn't necessarily mean the coolant temp is SUFFICIENT to start driving the hell out of the car despite the fact it is sufficient to get past the engine cutoff point, which of course is somewhat arbitrarily decided by some human. To get just past engine cutoff and start driving the hell out of my car would be RETARDED.

I cruise on the fwy for at least 20 min (sometimes far longer) before I begin to redline. And I'll make sure I get my redlines in almost every time I drive my car. I'm almost 140,000 miles in southern California weather, all stock, only 5W20, never premixed, no issues ever with my car aside from coils, battery, and water pump replaced. Obviously 20 min is WAY past engine cutoff (as well as temp gauge reaching normal operating). I must be doing something right, unless you want to credit luck, which I don't because I know me and how super detailed and careful I am with everything I do. There's most likely not another RX8 and engine like mine in the world because there's probably no other owner in the world like me.

And swoope has the nerve to suggest I don't contribute to this forum? I contribute to all RX8 owners in the world because I am THE exemplar. And not only on this issue/topic.
