all the accidents seem to be caused by failing brakes. how will improving the core structure of the vehicle fix the brake problem ?

Ask one of the ladies of the former soviet republic working in bars on Walking street. One told me she got a work permit as an entertainer if I remember correctly.

Go back and ask her if the work permit was issued before she left her mother country.

She might have done it but it was definately illegal.

Being drunk doesn't excuse him at all, but instead of putting him at the bottom of the barrel, I will simply hope for a long prison sentence and decades of misery. I hope he gets fired from his job, divorced, can't see his kid for decades, and stays in a BKK jail. Exploiting children is no joking matter.

He was actually convicted in Australia under Australian laws so I doubt he will spend anytime in the BKK Hilton.

Wont be spending anytime in an Australian jail either provided he does not break his 2 year good behaviour bond.

And a big worry when going for an oil change it seems..............

Oil change is not a problem if it is done at a dealership which one would assume someone with a new vehicle would be doing that to ensure the Ford Warranty.

Always the scaremonger aint ya Tranny. Am surprised you did not suggest to buy an outdated Vigo instead........... any idiot can change the oil on one of them.

You have obviously forgotten the heads up warning. Yeh, you keep using the overpriced main dealer for years to come to ENSURE oil pressure on oil change.....................

Ford guarantee competative service costs, and owners have the added bonus of not driving the dullest bunch of cars in the world. If you're happy being a blind sheeple then kudos to you.

My Ford is definitely not the dullest vehicle I have ever owned. none have managed to raise my stress levels and anger to the heights the Ranger has.

Try and get a cat that wont cost you too much for repairs and keep breaking down.

Really, you and Ace of Pop should get a room. You can spend the evening talking about the teen girl that broke your heart in the backseat of the 57 Fairlane, or whatever horrible tragic event caused you guys to hate one car brand so much.

Maybe seek therapy?

No it was the 86 fairlane that almost broke the bank "Smart ass", up until that time I always bought fords.............Never again!

Just to improve your knowledge a little. The 1957 was a Customline NOT a Fairlane,

In America the customline ceased production in 1956.

I’ll stay away from the ford 3.2. Looks OK but fuel economy sucks and you will take a beating on the resale…

What is your problem with me ?

You repeatedly completely mis read what I post and turn it around into an attack onto me.

Get a life please.

Hey Mark1972. When posting a wall of text can you stop and have a breath every few moments. the result will hopefully something that can be read.

Can get them for boats. If these are not fit for purpose I would go hunting around the various 4x4 OffRoad businesses.

Here's a couple of photos of my Toyota Corolla KE70 with a 20v 4AGE engine. These motors love the high revs. Just incase any of those comments where directed my way.

Thats cool as <deleted>. I love it !!

Nup it is still there for me. can you take a screenshot of post 28 and put it up.

well that is defo some twilight zone stuff.

So post #28 where you are quoted you cannot see the part I highlighted ?

Weird.

This might help you.

l was trying to post some helpful advice advice, but instead you have to get into a slagging match, no need really. If these cars are so bad why are you acquiring them, why race them ? A race engine is completely different to a road engine with pretty much everything strengthened so not comparable really. Read the post, it was not a Mazda engineer who told me about turning off procedure, it was a rotary engineer who deals with these cars only. Because of people like you giving bad information like this, the cars get badly treated and can fail. This is not a normal car and cannot be treated thus. l agree there were problems with the early models as there are with the later models, l know someone who has a 2009 with 10,000 miles on the clock that failed last week. l am in the RX8's owners club in the UK so have contact with quite a few people.

If you are such an expert you would know that coating the rotor with oil when you shut it down works. l agree the RX7 was a much better engine, l have known them do 200,000 - 300,000 miles.

My post was meant to be helpful for any potential buyer. Yes there are problems with this car, especially when people like you give it advice on how to run them; you need to take care with them and even when you do they can fail, as can any car, but l agree they have a higher failure rate. The point of my post even if l am a little bias, is what a rewarding car this is to drive and you MR expert can't take that away. l am never disrespectful to anyone, but they are forums in the US with not to helpful information.

On a personal note, l did not get kicked out of anywhere this is a forum for adults, but as usual big mouth Yank spouting his mouth off. Just what l used to see in the army, we do an exchange with the 82 Airborne and many of them suffered from feelings off grandeur. Wind your neck in pal, this forum to help people and do not think about slagging me off unless your prepared to meet me and back it you loud mouth <deleted>

Well I'm well versed in them as posted previously we are acquiring them and refurbishing them and blown motors are unlike any other car I've seen EVER, in such short amount of street time..Are you even aware of the extended engine warrantee Mazda quietly put on the early models? The early models are junk and most rotaries are very durable but not these. A compression test is only a mere check at that moment and helps naught for determining anything close to long term or even short term for that matter. In a week or so they could just suddenly blow out a seal, especially if you have no idea the catalytic converter has packed up or screw a coil set and the engine is toast, especially if it is already high mileage. Rx7's never flooded the way the 8's do either,. You're correct about one thing, failure is not the right word without "catastrophic" in front of it..

There must be some rotary specialists in Thailand because Petee has been racing an outdated 7 for several years now in the Super Car class.. Many of the engines that fail are not rebuildable, they're scrap metal after the seals blow because the housings get deeply gouged.

These engines fail in many cases with the BEST engine care one can give, it's a random thing like winning the lottery or in this case losing. Still there's no telling when, or if, but it is a well known engine flaw in design and manufacture that Mazda is well aware of and why they changed the engine design in 08..It's naught to do with maintenance by the owner, more to the point it's a host of smaller issues leading up to one big snowball and into an engine failure.. For example do you even know about the fuel pressure loss due to the early saddle bag fuel pump problems when the tank gets low? It causes the engine to sputter with loss of fuel pickup and loose pressure making the mixture lean and that is a death knell for those engines, it need only happen a couple of times..

Revving the engine @ shut down is complete <deleted>..It serves no purpose what-so-ever, in spite of what your "Mazda engineer" says.. It's also best to add premix to the fuel and not worry about keeping it topped up but do keep an eye on the oil for sure..

Yeah don't listen to any site in the US where we successfully raced RX8's since they're arrival as a factory program and won multiple championships with them up until they discontinued them, hell we don't know a thing about the, perfect reason NOT to listen to much of his advice to make such a rubbish closing comment... Only arrogant and smug British sites know the answers but check that site anyway and see how many members on there ARE British, getting their top advice from it..And sharing too.

It just occurred to me, he probably got booted for his rubbish advice so now he has an axe to grind against them..

Speechless eh? Wise choice, better to post nothing and look the fool then to post something foolish and leave no doubt..

He messed up the quote. his post is within yours.

They make it up as they go along, To say there are Health and safety regulations in Thailand is a joke.

There is actually and some companies heavily police them.

I want to have a nose bridge done.

where ?

As this is a traditional resort and consists of basic fan rooms why not put them on the concrete floor and have your customers sleep on them ?

Couldn't someone just knock off your passbook, check the blue light signature and copy it and just pose to be you and withdraw that cash by filling out the form?

what about the ID that must be shown ?

Did not measure but about 15 inches or 8 slices.
