The skipping is now imperceptible...nice way to try and back track. You have no ground to stand on.
And don't even start to talk about modding the RX....because you can just as easily mod a Z to increase handling gains.
Admit you are loser...We already know it, so it's not you'd be surprising us with anything new.

Obviously, the tires are coming off the ground just a little bit. It's a tiny fucking SKIP, but if you're as detailed a person as I am, you can not miss it. That can not be normal. I have wondered if it might be associated with the alleged front suspension design flaw, for which a class action lawsuit is gathering.

as for the class action lawsuit regarding tire feathering, you're a day late and a dollar short. this issue has been resolved by Nissan. to somehow draw a conclusion that this problem affected handling with no data to back that up is...ridiculous.

A few posts ago you said the tire skip was impreceptible...now youre saying its so bad you know a wheel is kifting?
You truly are grasping for straws here.
A, you're an idiot and there is no tire skip.
B, you DON'T know how to drive
C, if a tire lifts off the ground, its usually the front outside tire....and its at very high speeds...and its usually sign that the front suspension is VERY stiff...oh, and its not a bad thing either.

To be fair i read your posts and have read the rx8 forums. I havent said you were wrong since most people are getting higher MPG now AFTER a reflash from the dealer.
Also it seems that people arent adding oil every fill up but at every 1k miles. A FREAKING QUART every 1k miles is nuts! I dont have to own the car to know that!
Also if you want links from my finding feel free to ask. But the point is that you come off as a guy trying to hard to be smart. Only thing you whined about in this thread is how Juniorbean was wrong and how the 350z has a "Skip".
I mean you having a heartattack over those two points. How many more posts can you post about the same damn thing over and over. We get the point!

The only skipping that is taking place is where the neurons in your brain fail to give off any electrical synapse whatsoever.

I'm not having a heart attack over those 2 points. The people in here are. They're just doing it on purpose to rile me. But I'm actually laughing and having fun.

I was talking to my mechanic. He said that the RX8 was designed similar to a 2-cycle engine. You needed to mix oil with gasoline to the engine. He said that it was not like the car was worn out but it was designed to mix oil with gasoline.
Is this true?

He lacks general automotive knowledge and uses highly technical terms like "skip". He also lacks the knowledge that the Wankel Rotary engine by design consumes oil and is less fuel efficient. Emperical evidence would conclude that he has no clue.
