TX New Rx8! Need Help!!

Ok well its not reallyy new its an. North american 04 haha butt anyways I'm tryin to learn as much as I cam about my car so that I won't screw it up.
I got some questions

Should I do a motor swap? Because I hear that the stock motors aren't any good?
Wat motor even comes in the stock rx8? Ha
If so wat motor should I drop so that I won't have any problems and how hard will it be?
Should I stick to rotary?
Wat motor oil should I use for the stock motor?
How can I keep the stock motor from messin up like a lot of these cars in america?

And ill probly have more questions later

Thanks

have your flame retardant ready? because you're about to be flamed!

motor swap? only if yours has problems
renesis 13b is the stock motor
what motor? unless you want to pay an arm and a leg in conversions, go with a stock rebuild/reman
motor oil? these things don't even use oil dude.
the number 1 rotary engine killer is carbon build up (and turbos), so do regular fuel system cleaning about every 10k miles and red line it at least a couple times a week.

If not a troll, then he needs to quit typing and read.

so you bought hte car and dont even know what motor you have in it. Search through the sticky threads on here and if you want to do an engine swap teh second after you buy it well then sir you have just failed because 1) the motor is actually really good and capable of high horsepower if thats what your after 2) conversions are ridiculously expensive
and by the way your grammar is terrible

Bro..

You might have heard all of this stuff about the 8, but ANYONE would know better than to buy a car if they arent sure about whether or not the engine is "good" and if it should be "replaced"..

Makes me wonder why you bought it in the first place?

As for your questions, rotarykillz answered them, and spare yourself the flaming and do some reading..

PS. Welcome to the board!
