bigger hose will not do anything...i'm saying with your standard setting... even if u change to bigger hose the pressure will not drop... or increase
u already have 2 oil coolers meaning u have already added extra "area" to the system so changing to larger diameter pipes won't do anything

Dunno whether it was u guyz, but i happened to see a group of Rx8's a couple of months back at Aman Suria. I was there with TeamES (sold my Civic last week to get Rx8)......... I just hope my Rx8 engine doesn't spit out its Apex Seals like my last Rx7 did.....LOLZ....... went through more than a couple of engine swaps/rebuilts during the 4years++ of ownership......... Luckily this RE isn't Turbocharged.....LOL...... Dunno how long b4 i decide to Turbocharge it though..... Saw a red Rx8 at Wangan Racing the other day that was Turbocharged........ Looks like a very tempting thing to do......
Oh yah, got pic of my previous FD3S on page 3 of my Cardomain Website

i'm checking if there's a spark in the plugs (all the plugs firing = coils ok). Hear the engine's sound while cranking. Normal or not?
