Here's some Eunos Cosmo revs that i found on Youtube. But for my import plans...

Well, i read a piece on Motor Trend that say "Turbocharged rotaries will not tolerate any pinging, and this engine was presumably tuned for Japanese premium fuel, which is close to 100 RON. That means it probably wants 95 AKI Fuel"

There's 100 RON fuel in Indonesia, called Pertamax Racing, and cost about 5 bucks/litre. And that's sucks since i guess this car is not very good in fuel sipping, and i have to sell my kidney just to let the car run.

So, Sorry Cosmo, not this time. But one day i'll own one of these if i had the monies.

yeah.

So, after you figure out how to get 100 RON fuel for this baby, you can go get them.

VP race fuel from a local drag strip? Would that work?

Well, i don't know how much they're running, but that might work.

And oh, don't forget some of the owners of this thing sometimes reports a single-digit MPG.

Imagine if the bubble hadn't popped, and Mazda was able to go through with their US luxury brand (see: Millenia), do you think we would have perhaps the most Jalop-worthy Japanese luxury brand? Would the competition have been enough to make Acura not lose track of what they used to do?
