[QUOTE="Jaymz, post: 1064012904, member: 124407"] 1) Cost maintain this machine? Idemistu Rotary oil cost 58-68 RM per bottle (1 Quart, 0.94L), you need 5 bottles each service, 4 for engine, 1 for top up. Gear oil depends on brand, you need about 4-5 bottles.. about 150 RM max.. change every 20K KM.. 2) How to maintain? Same like normal engine? Warm up your car before driving.. if forced to drive cold engine.. keep rev below 2k.. Normal engine? no.. check engine oil at approximately every full tank of oil.. or everytime.. check radiator level.. all these before driving.. :3 3) How about labour charge? Workshop? Different area charges different price.. where are you at? 4) How about spare parts? Tons of spares and aftermarket ones.. price wise are the same as evos and subarus Well.. it is expensive for non-car lovers.. its like any other car.. just a bit more delicate.. its got a higher temp engine bay compare to others.. with all the right mod = no problem.. which this is what everyone dont understand why we need to mod to get the issue solved.. and we often question ..isit because there is a flaw in design? Well not all cars are perfect..and thats why there are aftermarket products that brings the stock model to another level.. PPle always question..Why spend so much on mod.. why not just buy a ferrari or lambo.. then no need to mod jor.. ans: Not everyone can afford ma.. and bullshit if they dont mod.. surely will buy rims.. surely will buy turbokit for ferraris.. surely will buy bigger BBK.. same shit la.. confirm will mod this and that.. So what attract you most on a RX8? Looks? mobility? RX8 is underpowered as the base model do not come with turbo.. but a tuned NA 13B rx8 street car can do 2:37 on SIC.. and 1:50s on Pasir Gudang.. so it proves its drivability :3 Advantage 1) Looks good..exterior and especially the interior.. 2) Well balanced car.. Disadvantage 1) Not enough torque.. Max power comes in only at 5000 RPM..[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]If you wan straight power and good corner speed.. go for Subaru ba.. :3 alot of pple say subaru got no looks.. but.. if you invest in widebody kit.. no one will say no looks :3 [/QUOTE]
