Deviantspeed: Love this car! Ok, we owned one when they came out, so we are a little partial to the RX8. There's always a big discussion as the racing season develops on rx8club.com.

29 November 2006 - HIROSHIMA, Japan – Mazda Motor Corporation today announced the global reveal of an all-new concept car, Nagare (pronounced na-gah-reh), at the Greater Los Angeles International Auto Show, during a press conference at 4:05 PM on November 29, 2006. Following on the heels of three very successful and exploratory Mazda design concepts – Kabura, Sassou and Senku – from last year’s show season, Nagare is the first indication of Mazda’s future design direction.
We will be sharing some A/F plots from our wideband O2 Sensor Setup
1st and 2nd gear run
Data here is collected via an LM1 unit from Innovate Motorsports. These guys have been great to work with so far, and they have a lot of enhancements coming out for the LM1. Basically I added a separate wideband O2 sensor from the kit before the catalytic converter. This is allowing a lot of granularity when looking at how the car is performing. We plan to add an S-AFC II to allow tuning of the fuel curves for more power.

Here's some videos, these two were from my digi-cam (picture digi, not video cam digi). The second one is better, with a bit of a drift around the close corner.
Bandwidth and connections are limited in this directory, might I strongly recommend RIGHT CLICK - SAVE AS:
Just changed the oil again, and after browsing new oil filters at the local parts store, there is a larger option for the RX8.
