    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.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    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. :D
