Surely you mean a blind unicorn?

I'm surprised hes putting so much effort in to this car - given his brand new Mighty M2 was written off, i'd be expecting another one to be coming imminently as a replacement?

Do you think the ditch finders on a back of a RWD car may cause the ABS to kick in and that's what I am experiencing?

Yes as part of the stability control function.


I looked it up for you, they call it DSC.


There is a switch under the dash that you press in for 10 seconds, and a yellow light DSC OFF will come on in the rev counter. This should solve your problem.


When it crashes, I think turning the ignition off and on will reset the DSC, and the insurance assessor/Police will never know.

What will today's RX8 thread be about?

by the way, as stated in your other thread. the rx8 only has 654cc per cylinder. not whatever you stated. Its a 1.3

It is not a 2.6 in any way other than comparing to a conventional otto engine as the rotary has no exhaust stroke.

Yes, i think thats a message promoted by RX-8 owners to make their cars appear less "puny".

no its because if it was a 1.3 (at the time it came out) it would have had much lower tax. many countries used 2.6 for insurance and tax reasons, due to the performance.

Its definitely not a puny car

Indeed. It was tongue in cheek.

They're genuinely a great car - i just dont have the cajones / blind faith / stupidity necessary to buy one.
