Looking to buy a rx8 231
Hello just after some help I am looking to buy a Mazda rx8 i currently own a Mazda 5 and a mx3 1.8 v6. I am wondering what the pros and cons are of owning an rx8. I have heard about the hot start problem is this a problem that can be sorted out without rebuilding the engine

There is a thread called "new and potential owners". It has all the info you need.

See the links in my signature.
Hot start issues can be masked with a stronger starter, and there are a few band-aid fixes to try like the ATF in spark plug hole trick, but if you need to do these, you are only delaying the inevitable. |
Hot start issues are an indicator that a rebuild is going to be necessary soon. Only way to really know is with a compression test which is what you should get before you pay ANY money for one of these cars. Ideally, try to find one with a good engine then it should last a very long time. Try to stay away from the automatics as they tend to have transmission issues before they have engine issues.
