I searched "RX8 Belt" to look up the engine belt and this was the FIRST link.
IDK how much this website paid Google but it was sad to read.

MAZDA RX8 Timing Belt


Description
The MAZDA RX8 timing belt is a flexible rubber belt with molded teeth that grip notches in the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets.

Purpose
The timing belt synchronizes the engine crankshaft with the camshaft, thus the name timing belt.

Maintenance Tips/Suggestions
MAZDA RX8 timing belts are a critical part of engine maintenance program and must be replaced at specified intervals determined by the belt manufacturer or original equipment vehicle manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in catastrophic engine failure. It is best practice when replacing a timing belt that you replace all rotating components that contain a bearing, this would include idler and tension pulleys. On some vehicles the timing belt also drives the water pump. Timing belts are sold separately and as kits that contain idler pulleys, tension pulleys and belt tensioners.

Failure symptoms
Noises coming from under the timing belt cover maybe caused buy worn bearing in the idler and tension pulleys. Timing belts that fail completely will prevent the engine from starting. Timing belts that jump time or are out of phase will cause poor engine performance.

WARNING
Timing belts that fail may cause serious engine damage.

AKA
Timing belt, Sync belt

Location
MAZDA RX8 timing belt is located under timing belt cover. This cover is at the front of the engine and is behind the accessory drive belts that drive the power steering pump, alternator and a/c compressor.

Wow..........Idk what to say to that...

 

Sold! I want one!

 

I really hope somebody wrote this as a joke...lol

 

very funny indeed, but why in the multimedia section??

 

This good to know, I dont suppose it also list's a longer duration inlet and exhaust cam too.

 

I'm sure this page is just something like a template design where "MAZDA" and "RX8" are [MAKE] and [MODEL]. The website probably crosses all possible combinations between the respective makes and models and spits out the same content, just filling in the blanks; hence the disclaimer.
