Random question for you turbo guys...

How big of a mpg difference do you have? I know we run rich at the top end already (not enough for a turbo I do not think). Just curious as to what the mpg vs. extra hp difference is?

I haven't really keep track of it. It should not be that much of a difference depending on your driving habbits

Makes it all the more impressive...

That is kind of what I figured...makes it all the more impressive--a) the hp gain for the cost and b) the lack of real increase in everyday fuel consumption.
I am glad to see the thread on the turbo kit expanding all the time, and the great positive feedback of those who have bought it. Good work!!

hey guys i have a question for ya. i'm 18, senior in highschool and i live in small town of clara city MN. Couple hours west of the Cities and i'm havin trouble finding a nice car for prom. see around here our prom is more based on what car you come rolling up in. now last year i searched for an rx8 but like what i'm finding in this forum there isn't many around. i currently own an 03 mzdspeed protege which i baby. it's a nice car but nothing compared to an rx-8 plus everyone has seen it so it's nothing new.

if any of you would be willing to "rent" your 8 for a day or 2 to make my prom one to remember it would be greatly appriciated! i AM WILLING TO PAY! for the innconvience! you will also get a free hand wash, wax and polish! and i will pay for gas!
thank you, Chris Zimmer

There is a big risk in lending someone your car.

The insurance.

The wear and tear.

This is probably a tough stretch but you can buy a used RX-8 for less than $20,000

now. Have your dad buy it for you.

i bought my own car. pay for insurance and pay for gas. i know how to respect a car for i do all the work on it myself. it's already sittin on 18in motegi's, dropped to the ground with a buddyclub kit.

i figured there would be someone out there that would be cool enough to lend over a car for a day and get it detailed and a free tank of gas.
