Have you read about the Speesource RX-8's - the factory intake is tuned so well that they left it stock on their track cars. It's made me question CAI's on 8's ever since.

It's not terribly surprising that Mazda can't make rotaries anymore when you look at the size of "modern" RX cats. The main cat on the FD is ~35lbs and the precat was ~25.

And worth approx $500 in scrap combined when platinum was high. I believe I sold ~3-4 cats and 2 pre cats for $1200.

Good color choice.

What issue did you have with Amsoil? I've only ran Redline MTL after several bad experiences with Royal Purple.

Yeah, I still can't believe that Mazda did this. I mean, I'm glad they did.

Also,

It's me.

I’m the spicy Dorito noises.

Hard to tell from this picture but every single spring has mm's of free play in every direction. :psyduck:

Brings a whole new meaning to "smoooooth clutch engagement" doesn't it? How many new fillings do you need?

Buy a 2009-2012 non R3 sub model.
Have the engine compression tested (with the coolant/engine as hot as possible) and make sure the compression is above 90+ psi on all rotor faces (corrected for altitude).

Do not buy a 2008 or older RX-8 PERIOD.

Best advice.
