Wussup all. im 18 and im really serious about getting an rx-8. the only problem i have is having to pay 500 for the deck install kit. another thing is that my friend told me that maintaining an rx-8. also, can someone give me a depth explaination of some kind of "carbon build up" ?

just gotta make sure you take care of it, change oil every 3000-4000 miles, and don't baby the engine. It has a 9000 rpm rev-limiter and the final valves open up at around 7200 rpm, so basically its better for the engine to rev it that high a couple times when you drive it in order to open the final valves up and keep everything clean from oil/carbon buildup.

does that only apply on the ATs?

or both

well considering the engines are basically the same and the transmission is the only difference from mt to at id say it goes for both

both, even more so for the auto's.
