RM5k for emergency macam tarak cukup.

10 to 15k is more appropriate.

well, usually we should ignore people that ask about RX7 fuel consumption, clearly they should not own this car

btw, for rx8 to do below 2min45s at sepang is no easy task tongue.gif

ooo TS got do homework one, accept my apologies TS

well, i mentioned at least 10 to 15k ma, 18k is for new engine, but sometime when the rotary failed you, you dont need to replace the whole thing as some parts still can use, unless you are super unlucky, so usually lesser than that abit lo

btw, i dont agree that Apex-seal problem are long time ago. why? because you might know how to take care it, but the owner before you, or the owner before the owner before you might not know.

maybe they rev hard before engine fully warm up, maybe they never redline everyday, maybe they dint top up oil every 1 or 2 petrol fill up. all these will lead to the engine failed you. its a matter of luck mostly.

FC design is nice, not as timeless like NSX, but its still nice, although i prefer FD more tongue.gif

btw, dont bother someone like travis_ckf la, he is saying like rx7 will spoilt every 50km of driving, and 1 full tank can drive for 100km nia. duh...really brainless reply

back to topic about FC, i dont really know how much it cost, but the worse i heard is 1 full tank can go less than 300km la. if really can get 350km per full tank, then its really very good already.


PS: tmn linkin, urs also can fetch 1 nia, why not change to myvi? biggrin.gif

Friend.
If a girl chooses a RX7 over a guy which just drives a MYVI or old banger, then you better stay away from these type of b****es!

They are more costly to maintain than you think.

Look, my GF's father is a multi-millionaire, but my GF still sits in my old Nissan.

hi Bro!

I was having the assumption that you like Mazda's rotary hence picked an RX7. And continuing on as an advice without knowing whether you are a noob or someone who did his homework, I went on to point out that the apex seals are indeed a troublesome piece of hardware that one have to take care or else it is problematic.

Turbo charge or no turbo charge, I don't really care. The engineers at Mazda knows what they are doing. And just to point out that an RX8's performance is not far behind the makes of Evos/Subarus is me indirectly telling you that even though its not having a turbocharger, it is up to par with those cars in track. Its not all about driving a powerful car, handling matters too and the RX8 has the best of both worlds.

Lastly why would you need fellow forummers feedback here when you have done so much homework yourself on the technical bits of the car's engine, the pricing of engines and other stuff, how could you missed out the fuel consumption million dollar question? If you could find out that Ah Choy has new Rx8 engine at 18k, I'm sure you could also find out from the same source how is the car's fuel consumption...

Cheers,
=p

rx8 lose out on raw power too much compare to evo/subaru imo, really too much , although handling wise it up to debate, and it more towards the driver.

during my last track day, the best rx8 lap time is 1:48, while an evo10 get 1:45, but the rx8 is turbocharged one la

btw, 1 think for sure rx8 and rx7 win evo/subaru (beside the latest version of both) is the sleekness of rx8, sexy tongue.gif

and i do agree that ah wil already know quite alot, like how to take care the engine and such. maybe he just want to see those that owns an rx7 can reply.

paging for xin biggrin.gif
