how about the fact that you're an adult and you don't need approval from your friends to own your car?

200 kilometers on a full tank for a Bugatti Veyron is "Amazing". In fact I would take mine back to VW for a fix if it returned figures like that (That is if I had one). But for an RX8, that is just plain ridiculous. You should be getting no less than 350km per full tank. But, I think one has to factor in the altitude, varying fuel composition per country, and the dreaded 4 speed auto transmission. If I got less than 450km per full tank, I would sell mine without even blinking. Nothing short of sexual pleasure would make me stick with a guzzler like that.

So, my vote is sell the sucker and get the series II. Also, get the f4ck away from boyracers and their GTis. Anyone racing an RX8 on the road against these losers is just tarnishing the car's clean image. If you wish to race, go on track where there are bends and it is not just about horsepower and FI.

switch to an 06+ AT?

are you 100% city driving or something because 150 miles to a tank isn't right no matter what (or are 4ports really just that bad?)

I have no experience with the 4port but I certainly would not call the 6port version slow.

spark plugs wires and coils need to be replaced.

and i wish i could just sell my 8 and get a 06 8 but its not that easy...and if i sell my 8 im not getting the AT..if an 8 at all.

intake and tune up is getting done tomorrow we'll see how it turns out

i'm not sure how old you are so maybe it's just that you're young but you really are way too concerned with what other people think of you and your decisions aren't you?
