You got that right!

You don't know until you get within range, which is a pain, but when you start approaches like this it begins to not matter, as you can just keep your orbit high until you have direct line of sight of the base. Fly safe CMDR! o7

Actually, I found out. It get tripled/dotted when on backside. But I see know when watching again your landing. You approach and line up real fare out before diving in. I did just dive straight in, also when it was dotted, all the way down. Flying around the hole planet, excused by my beginner approach. Thank you for video and answer, really helped watching again :)

Yeah it'll become dashed if it's behind the planet, but even still, the dash sometimes shows up pretty late. That's why I try to keep the high orbit until the dash appears. Happy to help!!

they added a tree looking thing. When the game is this boring even a tree is all it takes to give it some life.

Reduced compared to the RX7 I think they meant.

Hello, I am considering buying a 2004 rx8 with 15 k km on the new engine, is a hassle worth it?

Flooding is the least of your worries but they can still be reliable if you know what you're doing. Read - www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/

Was thinking the same.

Literally every car on the road, especially 90s/early 2000s ones have cheesy VHS videos like this. Trust me, they don't cost that much to make.

Gehtdi anschasau The original video would have looked just fine. It's just that it hasn't been converted properly to suit this environment, and what we are seeing is called "interlacing artifacts".

Aidan Higby I'm buying one soon- can you message me and help me with how to take care of it

unfortunately I don't have mine anymore, the main thing to know is it isn't a car you can turn on to move around and turn straight off it pretty much needs to be up to operating temp before you bother trying to turn it off and make sure you keep your eye on the oil and keep it topped up and change it roughly every 5000kms. as long as it is up to operating tempo before you switch it off you shouldn't be able to flood it, if you have to move it in a driveway or something take it for a short drive before you turn it off. also when you first turn it on to drive when the engine is cold let it warm up for at least a minute then baby the car for the first 5 minutes of the drive or so until it is up to operating temp (keep it below 4k rpm and preferably stay around 3k rpm) then when it is at operating temp you can drive like a madman.

How does it run now ?

Celtic Tiger is it still running?

Yes it runs like clockwork, everything working, great buy.

Celtic Tiger I'm very hyped I'm going to pick one up after I get my tax return back

Lol how does an exhaust go exactly? And my 2003 bmw is dirt cheap to maintain along with the parts

+Detc0re Had mine over 4 years now. I still love it and there's nothing like the rotary engine - literally! Plus they're dirt cheap to buy as used cars.

+Mark Ferris The RX8 will be my next car, solid aftermarket (better than Honda), great price point and unique engine.

+Detc0re Im thinking about making an RX-8 my next vehicle purchase. I am very much looking for a "drivers car", would you make the assumption that for this price point i couldn't do any better? I am not worried about the prolonged time i must spend with my vehicle, seeing as i prefer being behind the wheel than anywhere else.

+RyMann88 Right on! I had mine out autocrossing a couple of weeks ago, it's such a precise vehicle and very stylish too - I hope the next generation of enthusiasts will pick up the torch and keep this car on the road for years to come. It may be that the RX8 is the last rotary car we have, and it would mean that eventually they will be collectible. I'm starting to think that might happen, since Mazda is backing off plans for a successor. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's my take on it! Good luck!

+Detc0re ps you guys, don't forget to get a proper compression test before you buy one. If it's low (lower than 6.9) it will need a rebuild or replacement soon. A Renesis should produce around 8psi if it's healthy. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a car with a tired engine, but factor that into your offer. Happy Hunting!

+ValenNitto It just means they never did a test because any hard results would take too long to find.

Lotus Elise

rotary_inside 16' VW Golf R (AWD, 290+ HP, 26 AVG MPG) or a Toyota Corolla S (Some might call it a sports car.....^0^ )

nismotech Neither of those are sports cars, just because some people consider them 'sporty' doesn't make them a sports car.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette. it has cylinder deactivation and gets good mileage on the highway.

Everyone stayed quiet about the lotus Elise

gabrielgee5 You'll hate yourself for loving it so much.

gabrielgee5 1- the automatic is actually a lot more fun than most will have you believe despite the 30hp missing from the manuel version. I recommend learning stick, but if you don't want to the RX8 auto is a far better choice than most cars its age. 2- If you dump a little bit of 2-stroke oil into the gas tank when you fill it up you essentially make the gasoline a secondary lubricant, circumventing many common issues with the apex seals. 3- It is a sports car. Treat it like one. It can be used every day, but it isnt a mustang or a miata, you need to be attentive to your car's needs. 4- being a total car nerd is a requirement. You say you aren't one now? Give it time, my friend. 5- Resist the urge to give it hugs, no matter how much you end up loving it. A word on rebuilds: As far as when the dreaded day of engine rebuild comes, have a plan. At independent shops rebuilds can cost about $2000-$3000 and if you have some money set aside for it it is a nearly painless process. Even then it isnt that expensive, the car's reputation damaged its resale to the point where it costs about as much as a 350z after you factor in the rebuild, and since your insurance will see it as a "1.3L sedan", you will come out ahead with the RX-8 making it quite the economical choice... I know "economical" and "RX-8" in the same sentence, but it is true. Anyway, happy car shopping, I do recommend this car to anyone willing to love it as much as it deserves.
