Gomez let me know if there is significant difference in the manual... afterall it is an American one. They have left hand drive and an extra oil cooler.

By just reading what you said... it is hard to believe you are buying the RX-8 manual not a Playboy

Guy's, there are quite a few on Ebay for sale...at least eight have gone up in the last month...

Don't know how many pages, but will be too many to copy...

Will post a critique on it when it arrives this week.

It does not look like a lot but certainly waste of money to pay $100

Is that the current bid price??

Yeah, I got my manual at a considerable discount to that....Had to watch seven auctions go by first, though!!

Its landed and has about 400 double sided pages.....was still in the shrink wrap.

I obviously have a lot of reading to do but the immobiliser info was worth the purchase price alone.

Having been a Ford nut in my previous life, I am aware of how easy it is to beat Ford's Smartlock system...I was interested to find out how hard it would be to bypass the security on the RX-8.

A considerable amount of due dilligence would be required by a thief IMO....

A WDS (or equivalent) would be needed ,for a start....

Sleeping Peacefully, Gomez.
