Had the privilege of pushing her ~900 miles today ...roundtrip ...picking up my son from university. Pushing her at 75 - 85 mph, passing *at will* with nonchalant ease..., still puts a huge smile on this grown man's face.

Hello gents,
Well she's lost compression on the rear rotor. My fault ...had a lot going on... loss in the family, etc., had been on a long road trip, on which I drove her moderately knowing she wasn't on her normal E35 elixir. I returned home, forgot I hadn't put her back on mix, and got aggressive. Smh.
It has been a great journey: loads of fun, learning, and great times; but after much consideration... I've decided it's time for me to move on. I'll be letting her go ...hoping to find an 8 enthusiast / lover who will continue &/or improve on what I've already done. For sale post coming soon.

Apologies guys.. been a busy day. Appreciate everyone's expressions of condolences.
My suspicion is apex or side seal.
No, I'm planning to sell her as is. There w/b no question: someone w/b getting a single owner, well kept, great car and potentially many extras w/a blown engine. Simple.
Yes, and yes..., but not full WOT. Lost rear rotor compression, but there was a silver lining: she got me home driving on front rotor only. I validated it via compression test a few days later.

can’t help but wonder if AI would have been the difference in not reaching this catastrophic conclusion.
I’d strongly suggest that anyone else boosting a Renesis to install and use the std. 50/50 boost juice mix, but even straight water would be better than nothing at all.

Dodo23, Thanks , I appreciate your kind words. I couldn't / wouldn't have done it without the resources and guidance I received from individuals on this forum - many listed in my first thread post. I hope that my journey, good / bad / & ugly, has been a positive contribution to that reservoir of knowledge, experience, and good will.
