Well, I met a friend of one of my friends tonight and he's really into photography. So I thought I would throw up a few photos he took of my car, and a few others tonight. Anybody else with cool car photos, feel free to throw em up.        I think I'll go with the "Im NOT bored" look next time though.. -------------

That, and they go through oil a lot faster than average cars. Our rx8 suggests you get an oil change like every 1000 miles or something? |

Thanks for all the comments!
Yeah the relatively low mpg, combined with premium kinda bites, but it's worth it. I change the oil every 3000 miles, because that is what the manual prescribes for humid environments. 5000 for more normal places. But, the car does tend to burn oil quicker than normal, so every few fillups, you need to check your oil level and maybe add some. -------------

Sammy, chances are you're just loosing oil due to a loose drain-plug. Mazdas need the plug torqued down fairly well to keep it from dripping. Same thing happens on my 6s.
The MPG on a Rotary engine sucks, only thing that made me go with the 6s instead of the RX8 ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

You're kidding right? First you say that they're owned by ford (which they aren't. Ford doesn't even have a controlling share anymore) then you try to say that no other Japanese company has part of it's stock held by an American auto manufacturer? Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan. They all have parts of their shares that are held by US auto manufacturers. Ever notice how the Saab (owned by GM) 93 and 95's both have a striking similarity to the Subaru Impreza and Legacy lines? It's because they're the same damn car! Back when GM bought a big share of Fuji Heavy Industries (read: Subaru, Suzuki, and Mitsubishi) and brought out the 93 turbo with awd, they didn't even bother to change the interior of the car! Porsche gets their AWD systems from Subaru, Subaru uses Mitsubishi components in their engines and gets the technical info on engine maintenance as well as a lot of their boxer engine components from Porsche. Mazda uses the unified body and frame plant in Detroit to build frames and certain body components for their vehicles, but the engines are pure Japanese as are most of the other essential components. Remember Geo? The entire line was the product of mergers and stock sales between GM and Toyota, Suzuki (when they bought the FHI stock) and Isuzu. Everyone shares everything with everyone these days. Jesus kid, I haven't said anything about it until recently, but you really need to either get your facts straight or learn to shut you mouth. All you do is dig the hole a little deeper every time you chime in.... ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

I know that many are similar, Theres a Lincoln that looks a hell of a lot like a Volvo. They even recommend trying the volvo if you like the Lincoln. But Ford does have a part in Mazda, they wouldn't promote them on their site if they didn't. Ending debate now to prevent flame-age. |

The only reason I think otherwise is because the rotary engines are supposed to drink oil like crazy. My manual says check it around every other fill up, and most people on the forums use around a quart per 1000 miles.

I know Sammy already said it can. But do you even understand the physics of a Wankel Rotary Engine? What limits speed in standard piston driven automobiles is the ability of the engine to run at a higher rpm. Now, overcoming this is possible with a multi-gear transmission with varied ratios, however, you can only fit so many gears into the transmission before you start cutting into your power-to-weight ratio and affecting the size of the vehicle. A perfectly balanced engine would be able to achieve a higher rpm due to the fact that the vibration caused by the engine would be nullified and allow it to run without the chance of breaking anything within the engine (throwing a rod is one example of the balance issue). The Wankel Rotary has no reciprocating parts, it only ever travels in one direction and it's piston is the central axis of the motor, not the other way around like in a normal vehicle. This means that higher RPMs can be achieved with greater ease. Sammy doesn't really have to do anything to his car to up the RPM band. There are some minor balance issues that may start becoming factors around the 14,000rpm range, but the limiter exists on the Renesis rotary engine that is in the RX-8 to keep you from burning up your lubricant and seizing the engine. The only thing that truly limits the speed of a rotary engine vehicle is the transmission. Give it enough length in the ratio, and it'll go faster than just about any current engine out there. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Don't you drive a tC? You can't drift FWD. There is A LOT of debate about that, but its true. You can only drift RWD and AWD. Don't feel bad, I can't drift neither. -------------

The tC can drift. The e-brake has to be on almost the whole time unless you have enough speed. I have done it a few times. It is fun. I was hitting 30-40 mph and did a hard turn to the left and hit the e-brake. My back end was coming around like it needed to. Once you let the e-brake go, the wheels will begin to gain traction again, then you can go forward. Speed is key for a FWD though. I don't know if I would drift your sentra because it seems kinda tall. I'm sure you would be fine though. Also, I wouldn't be able to drift if it wasn't for wet slick pavement. |

By definition drifting is more or less getting your car sideways on the road, whether it be on a straight or in a turn. Granted it may not be as pretty or as graceful as a RWD car, but a drift in a FWD car is very possible. ------------- PlentifulBalls "It's cool, I'll be dead before I'm not pretty."

Yea but you accomplished the point of drifting. Cause the rear wheels to loose traction, therefore bringing your back end around, and sliding through a turn. Just because you are spinning your tires through the turn does not mean it's not drifting. ------------- PlentifulBalls "It's cool, I'll be dead before I'm not pretty." Gatyr "Stupid things exist."

While "drifting" in the sense of running a drift-course or round track is impossible for a FWD or even a non-VCD AWD vehicle, the actual use of a "drift" turn isn't. In Rally events, FWD and AWD vehicles often use the e-brake to purposefully lose traction on the rear wheels spinning the tail end around the corner allowing the vehicle to then exit the turn in a straight line. That's the whole point of drifting really. The term J-turn is also used to describe an e-brake induced drift.

| Once it rains here and I go to the parking lot that becomes really slick, I'll try to get a vid of my car drifting. Sure you can't make a FWD drift a huge turn. Drifting requires losing traction in the back wheels. Stopping the back wheels is enough to lose the traction. RWD have a much greater advantage over FWD because they can keep the wheels spinning to stop traction. Sure a FWD won't make tons of smoke, but it doesn't mean it's not drifting. |

Uhhmm The Ford Focus Gen II [Specifically the ST Coupe] In Europe uses the same body chasis as the Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 and the volvo C60 I believe. They all also share the 2.5L Volvo Engine which puts out roughly 200 BHP [ I think thats what they said on Top Gear] which brings me on to my auto:  I drive an 02 Ford Escape XLT thats purpley/blue. 200 hp [supposed in the manual, but its probably more like 150 by now] I love my car. I think that you can drift in a FWD car, but you can drift in pretty much any car, providing the driving surface is correct. I think the tires also do have an effect on the handling capabilities, and the tolerances that the automobile can take. ------------- Insert Fail Here |

you can..... but you cant. its NOT a drift becouse you cant hold it for an extended ammount of time, its more of a slide. and you cant drift anny car. AWD cars can be drifted but all of the EVOs and WRX's you see have been converted to RWD so they can drift.the tires have some effect but most drifters (all drifters) use a slick. you can drift a RWD with no tire change or engine mods, all you have to do is mod the suspension. ------------- PSN Tag: AmmoLord XBL: xXAmmoLordXx ~Minister of Tinkering With Things That Go "BOOM!"(AKA Minister of Munitions)~ |

If it's manual, drifting is no problem on a truck Kickin. Hit the turn, push in the clutch, gas it, and pop the clutch out, and you tires will spin.

Some input on front wheel drive driftingHand-brake driftWhile the clutch is depressed, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_brake" title="Hand brake - hand brake (or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake" title="Emergency brake - Emergency brake ) is pulled to induce rear traction loss. As soon as traction is lost, the driver releases the clutch, depresses the accelerator, and countersteers. This technique is used heavily in drift competitions to drift large corners, or to trim the car's line mid-drift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_%28motorsport%29#_note-d1side" title=" - [9] Also used primarily in FF (FWD Cars) as they are unable to rotate the rear tires.

Considering it was under the novice drift section that would make sense. ------------- <Sig violation, Section 1> |

The E-Brake method is not drifting. -------------

And Petter Solberg... don't forget him and every other WRC driver. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMSBNm4mmQs - Every time he drifts a corner, it's using an e-brake ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Its not drifting. Ask anybody who really knows. All these kids see Toyko Drift and now think that ripping the E-Brake and having some understeer is drifting. -------------

LOL come on da hui seriously it really is, we aren't talking about achieving a
little understeer we are talking about getting the rear wheels at a greater angle than the front steering wheels. The best way to do this is to rip the e so you begin to slide your back end, than from their let off the e and turn away from it while feathering the gas so the wheels continue to spin making it harder for them to regain traction. ------------- <Sig violation, Section 1> |

Ya, I did buy it with the scoop and I don't plan on taking it off, I think it adds a little character for one, and two there would be four holes in the hood if I did take it off. ------------- <Sig violation, Section 1> |
