no ler bro we are not shooting u, and we glad u mentioned what we wanted to say and not dare to say. i think we all realised this long time ago. but then i found that the only way to solve this, is to have as many help from all the sifu here can give. like my car, i am in sabah, and i am very thankful to all of u for giving info for me. even the info are not always 100% right but at least they are relevant in some way, even its a wrong info, it might give me rough idea about rotary.
example my suspension:
1. the mazda recall give me idea its the rim.
2. members tell me is absorber, with no specific area.
3. members tell me is the link
4. at the end all these info sum up and its the absorber but at the bottom area.
really thankful to all for helping to give me idea my shock rosak. even got scold that i will be risking my life if not fix. ehehehehe
SO ALL THE PRO HERE READ FORUM EVERYDAY AND HELP US UP! REMEMBER!!!

its a pure luxury car with a show engine, but not a perfomance one, may be until u strip the car into a light weight one. so i am curious and try to race with a friend.
at the traffic light we started, and imagine my auto!!!! car win him almost 5-10 car lot until he start to pick up. omg!!! we do not have highways like kl. so short roads with a lot of traffic lights. when i reach the next traffic light i did not see how far we are apart. but i guess he catched up and he was 3 car lot behind. 288 HP but i guess our weight - power ratio is better?

i think it should be jdm . i have driven a sc430 before when i am in usa, and i can definately tell u that rx8 will beat the sc430 in 1st gear and 1/2 of 2nd gear, then the sc430 will pull all the way. letme go test the soarer and let u know, there may be difference between the soarer and the sc430 although it should be the same.
another way to shift this car is to push the gear to shiftronic mode and then just leave it there, once it redline it will auto shift to the next gear.

350Z i like a lot..... I actually wanted to buy the 350Z......but after sitting in the car, decided on the Rx8 instead......The 350Z interior quality is SOOOOOO BADDDDDDD........... Cheap plastic EVERYWHERE !!!!!! Even the power window switch console can easily get damaged by fingernails......not to mention the dashboard centre cubby hole where the lid feels like its gonna break if u tug on it a lil tooo hard...... Also dun really like the rear suspension setup of the 350Z....... Trailing axle (similar to BMW E36, Toyota Altis, Perodua Kenari....hehehe....) where the springs are seperate from the shocks...... instead of multilink double wishbone setup that u would normally find in Sports Cars.........

believe me its not a peanut, i think we got to check the spec for the soarer, what year is that car ? is it 2004 ? if its pre 2004 it may have a diff engine. the current engine has about 500nm of torque, and with a tom's supercharger kit, it will be like 400hp, 700nm of torque. the turbo will crush it like a peanut , once it reach 160km/h and above, the car will pull away like magic.

i am really doubting the soarer he is testing has the same engine like the sc430.
maybe the soarer has a older engine . since the current sc430 had a engine developed at 2004 which is also used by the gs nowadays.

Ok...SC430 sure lose wif rx8 turbo tat's what i can comfirm but long distance mam Maybe Sc430 will take the advantage.but when ppl racing power is 1 thing but wif a suck driver without gut do u think he will catch us?Not to say i'm skillful @ north south highway but when u get pissed + u got gut = win!
Driver is really important so.......
