One thing I can assure you! You will love that final gear, it make so much difference in acceleration and put 6th gear in good use. By the way, you dash will read 5km/h slower!

e~~??? you are Philip Yau ???

i also read that magazine b4...... your car is so cool~~!!
but Macau "road law" is so strictly , we cant do those thing there..... cry....

btw, does your car can chase up normal "EVO" or " WRX" on straight road???
and what you suggest me to tune up RX-8 " low torque" power ( no turbo and SC added ) ???


last thing , how about this year Macau Grand Prix , do you have confidence to get the Champion again????

No, I am not Phillip but a good friend of his!!

To improve the low end torque, you are doing the right thing now. The 4.7 helps quite alot! But remeber RENESIS is not designed to give you V8 power.

Haa haa.... of course!! He is well prepared! Cheer us on next week lah!

Yes, the RX-8 suprised many people who test drove it. Many commented about its corner ability. I think the 50:50 weight spread did the trick!! Also, the car is not over power, so it won't unsettle the car under acceleration.
