Who are you? What's your connection with Mazda? What particular location in Vegas?

climacus

Yeah, maybe this time the engine will actually work in Vegas, unlike the current Renesis.

my cousin is a master mazda mechanic rotary as well (14yrs) and who is childhood friends with @%$$% who use to work at racing beat who now works for mazdaspeed, he is also good friends with @$%%$ who is mazda north America's rep/engineer he the guy that trys to fix and find out whats wrong with our cars in this heat, and there are about 3 or 4 2010 prototye rx8 driving around vegas to test in the heat.my cousin gives me the heads up on thing and tells me what mods i should do to my 8 to keep it relable in this heat. thats why im one of the few that dont bitch about my 8 being in this vegas heat.

Mikeluvs8

Mikeluvs8

Mate, I have heard the 1.5lt / 1.6lt ? engine has 4-plugs per rotor.

Did you see any extra plug leads.....???

As for the **** retards having a go. Just laugh at their ignorance.

Thanks for the photos Mike.

Any other info you can get would be appreciated - don't worry about the people who can't see the difference.

Would be nice to get a pic of the spark plug area......

You could also tell them that there is an open air intake hole, right in front of the throttle body - don't want to be suckin' up that Vegas sand!

So pass along all the things you know so that people stop having problems in the heat.........???

elf

Well, the oil dipstick is now reachable

mysql101

I still want to know where the oil pan moved to. Cause it bolts to the bottom of the engine and covers both rotors.

Thanks for the pics at any rate. I don't know if this is the 2010 engine but it does have some obvious diferences visible and I have no doubt that this is a test piece.
For what it's worth, you might consider being a little careful with your contact names or at least I would. Not doing so could prevent you from having access to things in the future or even get someone in trouble.

Again, thank you so much!
