      I sent you guys an IG message too, hoping to get this to you, but I might have a tip for the S's oil pressure issue. LHT Performance here on UA-cam once mentioned that someone he knew found out, through using a pressure gauge, that the OEM S2000 oil filter with the larger body (part no. 15400-PCX-004) actually helped maintain oil pressure past 8,000 rpm. It might not be the full answer to your problem, but could be a part of the puzzle. It fits my H22, so I'm guessing it's as universal as Honda's regular filter.

      close. Dave Coleman talks about it. but ford wouldnt share the funds for mazda to develope two independent rwd chassis( like how can mazda produce two coupes. hence the rx8 got lengthened and made a little nicer. look at the interiors) . so mazda in the middle of making the rx8 shared the designs for the NC. the RX8 has the better rear subframe but really the roller skates are literally interchangable.

      It does sound like the exact issue. My Honda was burning oil and when it got a little lower on track, it set the oil light on and cut my RPM 500 under VTEC. Had to keep topping it up, ended up overfilling it a bit later on, so I can get more laps in. Baffled oil pan fixed all those issues

      @@matejpotrusil1464 Ive never had an issue on track, but I also have used Momoso pan from day 1 and Im also not using a K-swapped S2000.. But the inline K's have big issues because they push oil to the "side" away from the feed. The f22 has the feed in the "rear", whereas the K has it more centered. It needs a special baffle that keeps oil from rushing to the rear(side) of the pan and keep it more central where the feed is.. Im pretty sure the YTer was Dustin Williams whose s2000 had this same issue.

    REV IT UP! When the RX-8 came out, Mazda toured the country and set up autocross circuits in parking lots for literally anyone to come drive them. I don't remember paying, I think I just showed up at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro Massachusetts, signed a waiver, and got to drive the Rx8 as hard as I could push it around a 30-45 second course all day long. Still kicking myself for not buying one but I settled on a more reliable 1st gen Rx7 years later. As for this video series, I do hope you follow up with a true track battle once both cars are sorted. Maybe give the S2000 slightly wider tires and swap drivers and average the results. This is a battle worthy of more than a single video with mechanical issues.

    Can we have a rerun with the s2k on the rx8 tires just to see the difference in lap time the tires could make?

    @Zi.Zenior 2 місяці тому +1

    Regarding the oil pressure: check your logs in the haltech. Sometimes the safety trigger goes off due to small bubbles in the oil feed causing it to think the oil pressure is low. You’ll see this as quick drops in pressure that are infrequent. You can change your sample rate to compensate for this.

    The RX8 is low-key a track ready car OEM with great handling, feel and braking.
    It doesn't require many mods to be turned into a proper track weapon. And as long as it's cooled appropriately, it will be reliable on track: The Doritos are at their happiest when spinning fast!

    Fellow car guys are the best in the world. How many people would let you take anything off of anything and put it on yours to get through the day. Almost nobody but if you're driving a car, a car guys willing to help. One of my favorite examples is the Corvette guy who randomly dropped off a car cover. The guy thought he was throwing trash on his car. He went out inspected and there was a note saying I had one just like this here's my old cover. ❤❤❤❤ Car guys are the best
