maybe you're looking at the wrong forum.

check out RX8club.com
look for a guy's nick called "theshortman", real name Marcus

he is the president of RX8 club in malaysia. you might be able to source some info from him.

Uhm. No, the RX-8 is not torquey at all. It's everything but that.

I do my routine servicing at a normal workshop in DU. Alchemis is right, you'll find more info at www.rx8club.com . Look us up under Far/East Asia section.

ok, thanks for the info.

hmm,what jaii said is true.
but i guess what he's trying to say is the smooth torque curve.The torque isnt much,but its linear so you dont feel the lack too much if you rev it hard enough.

IMHO,you shouldnt try out RX-7's workshop for the time being.I know that the engine are almost identical but the electronics are aeon's different.
So far the places that i know available is the Blitz Workshop in sunway.They do normal servicing.

If you are looking for part upgrades,first choice would be N1 and Links Power both located in sunway.If u have no idea,call me up.

Don't think you forgot. Saw a girl posting for help and you decided to take matters into your own hands. Haha! Good samaritan, you are...

Yeap. Keep the car in high rev and you won't feel the lack-of-torque. Heel-n-toe (to be learned before next event)
