Hi jararaca,

i had reply you on the Autoworld forum.

Welcome aboard.

I have no favourite workshops at the moment. I will be trying out a workshop recommended by a rx8 malaysia member. It is at Jalan 223 PJ (called BSA Motorsports). You can also send the car at any Naza branches. But they take a few days coz they are always packed.

For the rx8, naza uses Motul engine oil. I am gonna try the HKS RE oil. Expensive but from what i hear, it is worth every penny. The oil that we should use will be the 10w50 oil spec. As for filter, I am using K&N rx8 filter. The response is a little better. Not much of parts to mod yet. If you want a specific part, you have to order it down.

As for pros and cons: The pros of the car are...
1)Styling very breautiful and unique
2)Doors (2 main and 2 mini)
3) 4 seater
4) Powerful engine for a rotary 1.3
5) Roadtax (damn cheap)
6) ride is not to soft and hard
9) can rev until 9,300rpm (stock)
10) very big boot space

The cons are only a few.
1) Very few mod parts (now)
2) Cannot mod anything that has to do with engine or ECU (now)
3) Drinks a fair bit of petrol
4) The car feels a little heavy

Maybe some other members will reply to you soon. If not, join our forum here in the Malaysian database. That is where the rest will be able to answer your questions.

Cheers
