Picked up an RX8 as a second car.


Always wanted a rotary

Nice one Andy! They're at the back of my mind too! Is this an oem spoiler/lip/skirt kit? How's the engine? Congrats on the buy!

Smokeu most likely......ah maybe not but be careful and use correct oil and monitor oil level all the time as they are oil burners big time and eventually throw a leg out of the bed (conrod out through the block)

Well wear.. always likes them.. so much I threw a set of RX8 Seats into my 5.

RX8s have con rods?

V.nice car Andy, I'd love one. right time to have one with current fuel prices (joking)

Not sure they do??

Engine has really good compression.
Has mazdaspeed front splitter, random sideskirts and an awful (soon to be replaced) rocket bunny spoiler from an S14.
It's really comfortable and definitely more powerful than the 5 but not as much fun as the 5.

Also what's a conrod going to fit onto in a rotary. No crankshaft or piston to connect to. [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

That soon to be invented, Andy! ..

Looks class, man! I've fallen in love with these cars recently! You can get them fairly cheap atm. What was insurance like?

With my renewal on the 12 of next month it works out over €200 cheaper than the 5.
I'm putting the difference towards a classic policy on the 5.
