My RX8 has flooded on me for the first (known) time . It has 93,000 KM (Not miles). I have tried the fuse method, but with no avail. I have decided that now the roads are well enough for me to pull start her, but I have run into one problem:

Where can I hook onto it?

I have searched these forums as well as a simple Google search, but have not found anything that gives a good spot to hook on without doing damage to the bumper. I would prefer hooking onto it with a vehicle, but I also have a Skidsteer that I could use (Hook it onto the bucket and have it low enough as to not do any damage).

If anyone can let me know where they hooked on, it would be greatly appreciated.

Install your front tow hook, but if its flooded, I don't think pull starting is going to get it started. Might need some plugs.

I've heard that pull starting it is a sure fire to starting it. I am intending on getting new plugs regardless in the near future, but want to get it out of its current location (It is sitting in the back of a shop with no room to work on it.
Install tow hook? I've never heard of it, but will do some searches. Thanks!

towing is the easiest way of firing a flooded car up.
Good luck

I sure hope it works. Quick question - Where do I install this tow hook, and can it be bought anywhere (Do I have to order one made for this car or one that will screw in properly?)

car comes with tow hooks in the trunk and there are bolt holes behind little plastic flaps in the front and rear bumpers.

Well shows how much I knew about that. Thanks a lot, hopefully the previous owner didn't get rid of them!

I pull started my car a dozen times at my last track day but it was because my battery was toast.
