    Well Darin, anyone who asks another man to suck his balls obviously has a different way of thinking than I do.

    Who asked whom to suck their balls, Steve?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    The problem with hydrogen is its gives shit for power output. Yea they got a hydrogen RX-8 in japan but it makes far less power. I'll stick to good 'ol fashioned gasoline, and I don't give a shit how much it consumes. I drive the car for fun, not for simplying going from A to B.


    Oh and BTW, I don't know very many chicks that drive an RX-8, all the owners I've ever met are males. Hell most chicks can't even drive stick.

    I can drive a stick, I prefer. Along with coffee and cigs, keeps me awake.

    It was you asking me to suck your balls, Darin. I can't say that I've ever asked a man to do that to me.

Maybe you can “google” some of the terms that I used and prove to yourself that some of us are capable of original thought.
    Wow I got a neg rep for this post?

    As well as this one. Wow.

    Wow- you need a LOT of education about engines (not to mention basic English). Efficiency is only measured one way: work done / heat energy of the fuel.

    Why would you dig this up? Thought you wanted to be here and avoid confrontations? Wasn't that your bill of goods?

    Look, I like you and if you don't know that by now you never will. Coming back and digging up a post that refers to an administrator is not the way to segue back.

    BTW, I don't find your condescending use of 'teach' cute in this context.

    For that reason, I'll likely never buy another 'new' mazda. I'm scared of the quality of worksmanship. Another mazda thing that bugs me: They seem to think adding power to a car automatically reduces the subjetive handling capability of the car.
    Sucks to hear that; I've had nothing but smooth sailing every time I've had warranty or recall issues. Then, mine was an 05, not the dreaded 04. And also, the color has been scientifically proven to be better than yours.

    not auto tech enough to be able to answer.....when he bought the car it was delivered with the engine in about a dozen different boxes....somebody had been doing a restore job and had failed and he bought all the pieces for $10k....I know he put in a non-stock turbo, because he had to design mounting brackets for it and have them custom made....I also know he is frustrated with it......he's gotten it all together, but currently, if he drives over 40 mph his turbo starts blowing oil all over the street....

    does this help answer the question?
