That's Ike's job here. It's what he's supposed to do.

As for replacing my triangular cylinders, I think I'm 10k miles overdue or so... do you think I'm hurting my engine?

Well he didn't tell you the real reason, he's scared he will get smoked by an STI if he gets a RX-8. Anyway you shouldn't be listening to him unless he maintained a rotary before, all the stuff he mentioned I had worried about before I got mine. Mazda gave me a 100k warranty so I guess its ok.

You really need to get over this hardon you have for me. What I said is not contraversial, it wasn't me dumping on anything, and I simply pointed it out because blown apex seals was most likely what his ignorant friend was talking about. Grow up!

Yeah! That guy was awesome. Maybe DARKMAZ8 will dig that thread up someday.
