Question South African fuel plus times

Hi all

I have just purchased the RX8 in South Africa, we use 93 octane here plus we are at a high altitude.

Most naturally aspirated engines loose 15% power up here and was wondering if the rotary engine will do the same?

Many Thanks

I'd guess so. Less oxygen and all. One of the problems of being at altitude.

Question 0-60mph?

I guess the 0-60mph will be 7.2-7.5 sec here.

The problem here is that Mazda dont offer and accessories and only bring in 1 model to South Africa, Does anyone know a website where i could purchase online accessories for the car. ie mags, kits ?

Many Thanks

Hmm, interesting that SA gets the 8 before Europe does.
Anyway, try out www.mazdatrix.com never bought anything there
but they seem to be serious and able to ship outside the USofA.
