Hello

So my name is Adam I live in good ol' NC and I'm looking to upgrade from the car I have now, 03 Hyundai Tiburon, to an 05 RX-8. I know fairly enough about the 13b-REW and the 20b motor as one of my high school friends father owns idk an upward portion of 8 in total RX-7's, 2 2nd Gen the rest 3rd Gen. Most have had major work I know the white FD he owns which is a continuous project has a 3 rotor swap it likes to run and then not guy can't break anything in......Anyway I was just wondering wut the noticable differences were between the 13b-REW and the 13b Renesis??

Thanks!

Just a question I know I'm new to this site and what not so I'll keep this as short and sweet as possible. I currently found a GReddy Turbo'd RX-8 at a dealership a few miles away. The car will have a 1 year warranty through the dealership whose selling the car. Anything I should bring up when taking a look at this car other than the usual questions I ask which is regular maintanence and upkeep. Car has a Exedy clutch, Tein coils only 37.5k miles.

Thanks guys!

Mazda will not warranty it. But the dealer will. Read what the warranty covers.

Yeah Dealer actually rebuilds the 13b engines has done 5 or 6 of them by now if you go to their site they have 3rd gen RX-7's for sale with very low mileage on the engine. All under warranty with them as well. I'm going to look into what the warranty covers and go from there like you suggest.

Thanks once again
