[QUOTE="saru-kun, post: 2058031, member: 1524"] I be bored and am curious to see what I can get off the top of my head in 15 minutes time... Reliability modifications: Troubleshooting of twin turbo system, involving change to silicone vacuum hoses -Fuel filter change -A more effective radiator, considering our ambient temps in M'sia -A larger stock mount intercooler, if you're considering boosting above stock levels(worth changing anyway since the stocker be microscopic in size) -Downpipe to get rid of the precat whose sole purpose is to increase underhood temps and kill your motor -Catback muffler -Standalone APEXi PowerFC (by the time you're committed to purchase this, you'll know what its for =) ) Try not to assume the Rex to be a sort of 'buy-and-forget' supercar. Because of the inherent uniqueness of the Wankel motor and the fact that the car was developed by Mazda on a wee tight budget, you get a fantastic car with quite a list of hiccups and niggles and faults. Nothing major, just requiring an owner who is a little more committed to the car's well-being. (That includes spending truckloads of money on the car, unfortunately) As far as fuel consumption goes, compare it with other performance cars. Do not be misled by the 1.3 labelling. Bullshit. You're getting circa 250 horsies from the motor. That has to come from somewhere. Look in the ballpark region of having fuel consumption to a modified Evo or something like that. 13btt used to drive his seven daily. Maybe he'll chime in with some real world feedback.
