Ghostrider 3rd Gear April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 RX8 is fun car...but 1.3L rotory....lacking in torque. I heard of poor power gain when somebody mod their RX8 at a reputable workshop....owner was given a choice of taking the package or just forget about it cos the gain was too little to justify the 10 grand that was paid. Anyway...its a great car by its own right. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleblackalfa Neutral Newbie April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 oversteer... hmm... maybe it's back heavy, and the torque distribution not like normal FWD cars... interesting. it's not like the Prelude with 4 wheel steering ya? Maybe the CG had something to do with it... but the EP3 I've tried feels pretty stiff already. Then again, I wasn't pushing it on the track then. Just driving around normal roads. Still feel the car very light compared to mine... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 Yup I believe its a great car. My friend (shop is in Marina South ) has this Efini Twin Turbo on sale a few weeks back. It looks very well maintained from the outset. But I don't know how the engine is because we're not allowed to test drive. But the car looks damn good even after so many years.

Littleblackalfa Neutral Newbie April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 I totally agree. Give me a big CC NA car anyday rather than a small CC turbo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 Actually the DC5 is meant to be a track car from the start....suppose to be able to take car...hit the tracks immediately. The back of the DC5 is kinda light....in fact most Honda cars are a bit like dat...my EK3 also can oversteer when you are brutal with the throttle....I kenna once on Marina South...did not expect it but once I discover it...it was damn fun !! If you try the old DC2....lagi fun !! Oversteer at will !! Just jab the throttle and there it goes. Jap vs conti...cannot compare lah. Conti got weight penalty...and what more you are comparin to the sports model of a Japaness... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 Jet speed or something like dat rite...they specialist in selling sports model. The car you are talking about is the RX7 FD....nice car. But very thirsty bugger...known to do 5km/l or worst. If you are a fan of rotory...you gotta hang out at GTR Tech...they got monster Rotory cars. They used to have a 4WD RX7 for off road purposes. FYI....the RX7 FD almost killed Mazda...good to see....good to drive but a bicth to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 Euro Speed Auto... Nah not a fan of rotary as I don't know much in the first place. Yeah its very thirsty. My friend told me its gonna do like 4km/l to 5km/l!!! LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear April 13, 2005 Share April 13, 2005 My friend had a 500bhp+ FC....doing around 4km/L....sold after he had his fun...cos his monthly petrol bill is around 1K !! But the way that car goes when the turno kicks in...is like hang on to your panties !!! It took a WRX STi machem its was standing still....both launch....the WRX leaps ahead...but the FC was running big turbo...so when the turbo kicks in...WRX smells dust nia.
