Ate and RX-8

IDK sounds like a good deal but then again I rarely engage in such fun due to the fact that southeast missouri sucks and the girls here are too redneck for anyone with half a functioning brain. LOL kinda a sick deal on his part but hey its bragging rights. Is kate still mad at him?
I doubt it, I try not to get him talking about it. They have a really messed up relationship. 3 best friends caught up in a love triangle (me = not involved, haha) is basically what it is. Last I heard about her, they were hanging out.
HAHA Yea fd AND MK4 ARE ONLY OTHER 2 CARS BESIDES MY MK3 i REALLY WANT, girls are complicated and I always have bad luck with them so I kinda don't try much.
A better condition MK3, FD or FC either one, maybe both, they're both gorgeous and an R32 Skyline GTS are the cars I want in life, haha.
And yeah, girls are complicated as HELL! I don't have great luck, but I don't have horrible luck. Out of the last 4 years, I've dated about 3 girls...but I don't go out of my way to meet girls or try to date them. Well not at this point in my life, haha

Yea good question, I have yet to go to a strip club but hey maybe I should HAHA I'd be much happier
Beware of Rx-8 in a circuit will leave our supras with shame, theres a vid of the english program Top Gear, the Rx8 did exactly the same tima as a M3 and a Z32 with much less power!!!
In a straight line race they are no match (in Spain at least they come 231bhp) thats like a stock supra turbo with the weight of one of its gauges xD

well I don't know about spain but over in the states the RX-8 can be owned by a 3rd gen v6. Circuit racing is about the drivers skill and depends on the circuit, a supra would do much better at a track like willow springs where the corners are fast corners and sweeping, whereas a more technical circuit the lighter RX-8 may do better, it's all relative. Oh and Mazda admitted that the 230hp they promised U.S. drivers before pruchase in all thier ads is actually an overstated Crank HP number, whp is somewhere near 185 to 195 rwhp, and thats way up in the rev range.
I've read that RX-8 have a really bad mpg and need a lot of maintenance :icon_bigg (a LOT of oil)

Yeah for the price they are, I would definitely pick up a 350Z instead or pay a little more and get a G35 :drool:
Yep RX-8 Underpowered, Ugly as hell, High maintenance due to its rotary engine, oh yea why buy one when the true RX-7 was twin turbo rotary beast. Mazda might as well give up, the 350z is better just not my cup of tea, I'll stick with old cars like mk4 supra's, FD3S RX-7's and the good ol' fashioned MR2 Turbo. LOL
Oh yes and theres now a dark blue 94 RX7 in town here, its got the 3 rotar twin turbo engine in it and can outrun the black one I told about previousy in this post that spanked that rx8 worse than I did and I know the blac kones around 450 so the 3 rotor may be putting down some big numbers because it beat the black one from a 40mph roll up to 120 and it was 7 cars ahead and was still pulling away.
A 3rd gen... what??Wills7MGTE said:
It's nice to have 230hp @ 7200rpmWills7MGTE said:
That's what Mazda's advertising with
But they don't tell you that it only produces 150hp @ 6000rpm...
787B was used in the car that won the 24hours of lemans in.....1991? i believe.HellsLegion said:
The 3 rotor twin turbo is called the 20b, if you are swappin one of those you are looking at 500whp with just exhaust, 650-700 with some good mods
Take it from me, i lurk the rx7club
