Hi guys
 
Reet first up, How should my oil pressure gauge be reading on normal driving it sits usually somewhere between 2 ( idle ) to 6 (motorway cruising ) and plenty of inbetween depending on engine revs.
Although sometimes it drops to near zero when sat in traffic
 
Does all that sound ok?
 
Next i have owned honda vtec motors previously and am finding the transition of putting the power down to pull me out of a corner and the rex pushing me out of a corner quite different.
 
Any tips for getting more from my fd but tbh i think i just need to grow a set of balls and find somewhere with nothing to crash into.
 
Anyway my question is when the rex\'s arse goes is it controllable as i tried on a s2000 and it just snapped and span before i could really do much about it.
 
And lastly!!!
 
Im bloody sick of people saying "so you couldnt afford the new superior rx8 then"  of which i quickly follow with a " what the fuk would you know"

The oil senders are not very relieable, most FD\'s read like that. May be get an aftermarket gauge.

Just answeered your 2nd question, find an empty place and get your bigger balls out.

As for the arse going out, depands on your driving ability, generally its controlable, but can catch some out.

Ignore those that know no better, let them think that as they get in there chav machines

Cheers,
 
May look into a replacement gauge but not really into the dash full o gauges look.
 
now to find somewhere to have a bit of fun.
 
 
 
 
 
 
OOOh wait a minute thought of another question at the high rpm\'s i get what can only describe as a groaning/mooing sort of sound a bit like a deep vibration (oh-err) sound
 
Whats that then I\'ve read about a mooing sound from the airpump is this what it is??

is probably you BOV or dump valve, re-circulating the air.

Yeah you will all kinds of really STUPID comments, get used to it. I have owned Rotaries since since 1978, and I\'ve heard all the bullsh1t you can imagine.

The latest one grinding me is " oh yeah, they use a lot of oil " --- where on earth do people get THAT from?
