Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Saw 4 RX-8s today, the most important being mine as I was collecting it after its engine swap earlier in the week.
Due to the rapid thaw fortunately the snow ridges in the centre if the road had virtually gone for the return trip.
Car now starts and pulls well and smoothly, well as far as 4,500rpm anyway!
Oil pressure maximum of old engine was 4 bar, my rebuild is producing 7 bar so it will be interesting to see the bearings condition when I strip the old unit sometime in the distant future!

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Drove 180 miles in total going to work on Thursday and Friday. RX8s spotted - 0.
Did pass 3 brand new Nissan Leafs (Leaves?! ), with no reg plates. The drivers had a slight look of disgust as I roared past on the N7! Hope they liked the smell of unburned premix
