next week's off cause I am not around and I don't want to organize a meet and then not come ... but the week after that we will probably do something .... Here is the address for now: Sheetz 3201 Schoenersville Road, Bethlehem, PA ...



I'll give an update when I get back into town ... I think that Moving it to somewhere near the intersection of 476 78 and 22 is a good idea since I feel like more people are in that direction

2004 Black/Gray RX8 in Limerick, Pa. My car is at KDR now putting in new engine/turbo and other mods. When ever it gets finished I'm game for coming back up there.

Oooh ... I think I may have seen it there this past weekend. Which setup are you going for?

I wanna shoot for March 25th for the next meet ... how does that sound for everybody?

I am going to try to scout a good location near the 476, 78 intersection.

PA New Rotorheads

Hey guys,

We just purchased an 06 Rx8 at Scott Mazda on Lehigh St. New rotorheads here, so just trying to figure out what the heck kind of oil to run in the car, there is so much information out there it would be nice to see a few older cars with higher mileage and find out what oil is best. I was thinking about running with Castrol High Mileage which I used to run in my 88 Supercharged MR2 to keep the old seals from leaking. It's supposed to swell the seals to keep them tight and reduce oil consumption, just wondering if that would be good in a rotory engine.

If this is still on for Thursday night, we will see you all then. Please update location and times if it has changed.

Mary and Phil

Welcome ... there is a LOT of discussion on what oil to run, and I do not have enough time to go into it right now. I usually run 5w20 when I change it and add 10W30 before my next oil change. I do that to make up for the lost viscosity. If you do not have Turbo, do not waste your money with synthetic

Thanks for the oil tips, and after reading this thread, we took our first trip to KDR to check out the place and get some first hand advice from the Rotary experts. Thanks to Dave for all the great tips, blowing out the carbon at 5200 RPMs..............

I'm putting in a new motor and Greddy turbo. Will try and just keep the boost around 6 until I upgrade everything else to handle it. My last engine had bad seals which caused it to crush itself and the chunks went through the exhaust port to the turbo. Not good lol.

Dave said I should hopefully be back and running in the first week of April since they are moving to their new location. Once i'm good I'll be attending.
