temptation is high... but after gone thro some forum discussion, high FC for 1.3 engine, engine need high care and lack of skill ppl to care of it is a disaster....

so, still will stick to the satria, at least easier to maintain.... minus the look of the RX8 smile_tongue.gif

Dont be tempted with the RX8 unless u are willing to sell your GTI or Focus or Civic when it hav a major breakdown.
My friends brother drove one and last time i heard the engine malfunction while cruising at 160kmh.
The damage was so bad that the car is stuck at an R&R and cost to repair is close to 20k.
Heard that the rotary engine needs extra care.

high fc match the power output.
If the fc is high but power like BLM 1.3 then its a major problem lah.

However, i must say that the looks is awesome.
U can easily pickup chicks on each stop u make.

this one sounds like familiar throttle body problems....try service the TB first and check all related parts..(mostly idle controller unit melted)



service the TB, now the problems gone.... smile_thumbup.gif

i like the putra too...damn nice

found 1 very stock auto unit for sale @ 20+k here.

btw, what are the implications of converting the auto to manual? the 4g93 ECU needs to be changed too?
