Hello all, new here and new top the 8, had a few 7s though. Just purchased a 2004 Rx8 6 speed with leather. 52k miles on the clock, only down side there's no compression on front rotor. ...so on the hunt for an engine! If anyone knows where one is let me know!

Congrats and welcome to the club.

For and 04 she looks super clean :-) great find!!

With that low mileage I think it's safe to say the internals may be in good shape.
Try Rotary Resurrection for a rebuild they do one heck of a job and at the most competitive prices.
They have a good reputation on the forum and have stood behind their work :-)

Did you get a compression test? just curious :-)

Looks like it's in great condition!

Not a test with a gauge, but definitely no compression on the front rotor. I actually bought it thinking I could get an engine for around 1k, but that was before I realized the manual is different and this one is the 238hp.model. price just sky rocketed and I'm debating if it's worth me fixing....
