I didn't realise that you Honda boys needed to do that too....just goes to show doesn't it!!!

It becomes habit before long...you just remember to check it every couple of runs.

They do sound ace and there might be a few more on the market due to the car tax issue. Is the RX8 something that your really wanting as there are so many cars out there now. Alot now have lost more of their new money due to how the market is. It depends on what you want, I would suggest just test driving over cars for the same money and see how you feel about it then.. Also look into service and other costs.

I have been looking at various cars over the last 2 years or so, looking to buy on and off through out that time.

the RX8 does tick every box thats required, and if it turns out that I don't get on well with it, I will just sell it again, its not like I am buying new and loosing $$$$ just by driving off the fore court

I get most of my RC gear in the boot and a gazebo in the back if I push the seat forward. I can then use the baby harness to tether the gazebo down so that it doesn't shunt around in the bends. Sweet!

Ha ha, funny reading this thread as it's quite applicable to me ! i have one, and my dad has one. I could rave on and on about them, but I'm a designer at Mazda, so I'm probably quite biased ! But seriously, a totally unique car, sublime engine, looks wicked. Simply LOVE it.

[quote=mark christopher;169559]and 9 out of ten owners dont do it! or know of it. if not done i am correct and they flood and dont start!!

for the owners who dont know and if they flood it I read that you can remove the green fuel pump 20a fuse turn the engine over to dispell fuel then replace fuse and start up normally

I'd be interested to know if that worked? I can see how it might work.

The shutdown procedure involves holding the car at 4000 rpm ish and then turning the engine off...the theory being that any remaining unburned fuel is used as the rotors wind down.

Slightly off topic but just had my shed MoT'd this morning and the testers new car was outside - R-plate BMW 328i SE Coupe, 96k miles, auto, full leather, absolutely mint, he gave £1200 for it. I'm seriously questioning the wisdom of ever spending more than a few thou on a car particularly at the moment (although if everyone agreed there would eventually be no used cars to buy as no one would ever buy a new one).

It works on most cars ,home start showed us after my wifes car got flooded after moving it just out of drive and back in again , we could not get it started ,he did it in 2 mins He said the engine management system expects the car to be run so chucks in extra fuel for warm up but if you stop engine after just 20 secs the engines flooded

if it were that easy the aa/rac would not recover so many into us flooded!!some will go quick some can take ages

the fuel washes the oil from the rotor and then there is no compression, some of em take our lades up to an hour to get going depending on how much the customer/ recovery services have tried. when they do go after being flooded some serious shit comes out the exhaust.

as for it works on most cars thats mainy to do with the fact thay aint got a wankel engine fitted.

easy start, brake cleaner can work odd times but normally its a case of removing the plugs, cutting the fuel and cranking the beast over to clean out the fuel, re oil the rotor and then rebuild and try restarting
