Hook it up behind another car and tow start it .


If that wont get it started nothing will !!!!! Either the engine rebuild or the install is fubar.

You may find compression improves dramatically once you have had it running a few hours .

 

did my text on an internet forum offended you?

what I said was true, everything he did and said was wrong.

no one ask u to reply. Thx you for your concern.

 

he sandpaper his iron ...

he said rx8 is slow and use it for autox ... when I saw EvoX with over 400rwhp got beaten by a slow RX-8 in AutoX ...

he build a fubar engine, since the engine is so fubar it will underperform ... and he wants to use it for autox ... what an idiot.

 

While his method of rebuild may not have been what I would have done either, I'm not calling him an idiot and hoping his engine is fubar or blows up. You don't know:

1) If his irons are actually within the flatness and surface finish spec
2) If the housings are actually ok or not
3) Compression numbers

What if he's got great compression numbers?

It's easy to post insults and hope for more problems for others anonymously across the internet forums, isn't it?

 

You guys wield English the same way he rebuilds an engine ...

 

all i am saying there is no need to get worked up about it...this was my first rebuild and didn't wanna go all out on all new parts...more of a practice then anything

also i don't know why you are stuck on sanding the iron is wrong - what do you think happens to irons when you send them out to get resurfaced they take about off .001 from the iron surface by blanch grinding

i just broke the glaze on the irons to hold oil better i didn't even come close to taking any surface material of

engine did start building more compression in the rear rotor after i added some more oil 30psi
front still don't make compression

its probably do to rotor housing more then the irons

i took a gamble on reusing rotor housings when i know that they had ware on them along Apex Seal Tip travelling area fixable but didn't fell like sending them out and have them resurfaced..i think the tip is just not conforming to the housings or the glue i used didn't brake at this point

but that said i am just happy i assembled it right and everything is moving the way it should and there was no seal falling out or anything breaking...

i will take it apart and practices putting it back together few more times before i go on to build brand new engine ...i all ready have another Mazda re manufactured engine for the rx8 so its all good

and as far as understanding what rx8 is believe me ik i was just throwing a spark in some fuel
i respect s2000 for the same reason

but face it they are just slow....as good as them chassis are and the balance they are slow under powered cars

 

Mines not slow

 

slow is defined by what environment you are driving in friend. Many of my friends have underestimated the RX* on a road course.

 

what happened OD, he calls the 8 slow and you loose the greatest signature on the forum

 

Civic Si must be the fastest **** on earth then ... VtEC y0 !

 

s2000 is better car then rx8 hands down...there is no if or but...there is no point in arguing that... unless you are small minded person and whatever you drive is the best thing out there...slower in the straight line s2000 is better cornering machine


and if you say rx8 is better,,, you are just ignorant

that said rx8 is not the best at anything but eating oil and braking down new engine dos not live up to older generation.. so its a peace of **** car

 

here is the pic off my rx7 engine bay ...so you can see few things your rx8 is lacking

 

My RX-8 has all of that. S2000's are nice, hardly faster than an RX-8, but still nice.

 

you did not just call the s2000 nice ...9k

 

heh

 

Yes, I can dig it

 

^it looks like its broken ...it looks as bad as the old Z3

 

You just hatin' dog!

How about this one?

 

that one is "ok" (best one yet) I am just not into it...never have been

 

so ... last I know s2k is a 2 seater that has a shorter wheel base and lighter, but it can barely outrun a rx8 which is slow in ur book.

better cornering machine? reviews speak otherwise.even when rx8 is heavier and it does not have rear double wishbone like the fd.

do u actually know that means?


hah, i guess a lot of people are ignorant then, except an idiot like u of course.

u post a pic of fd and u said rx8 eating oil and breaking down????

and name one fd has gone thru 200k without a rebuild. i know rx8 did it, often.

PEACE of **** car and u drive it ... ur logic fails more than ur sandpaper bullshit ... thx to morons like u who can't rebuild for **** and **** things up, when u finally **** it up bad enough u sell it to the next guy, yeah, now i know why rotary has such bad name. deep ****

 

S2000's are great cars, Rx7's are great cars. But, when is it fair to compare a 2 seater with a 4 seater and yes the RX8 can carry four people with some comfort?
Just think of the 8 for what it is and do the same for the others.
The 8 is NOT a POS car. Some people may not known how to appreciate and develope it, but some do. Funny I dont see the S2000 chassis being raced in Grand Am? I dont see many rotary powered 3nd gen Rx7's being raced. yes a fair amount of them are there for track days but not actually racing. I see a number of RX8's out there and they are winning or placing in their class.
I tell you what, bring you little Rx7 to georgia and we will get on Road Atlanta together. We will get the cars to an equal power to weight ratio and lets see what will happen.

 

u are right genius, rx8 does not have a Turbo! how about this, take ur Turbo out and see what happens?

 

wrong.

they have something called vtec, when it kicks in, it smokes every frickin` thing on the planet. it does not matter if rx8 track time is faster on some course or whatever, s2k is just faster and rx8 is such a PEACE of ****. get it?

 

Was the S2000 still available new in 2008 and 2009?...yes it was.

Funny how it did not make either of these Motor Trend's....TOP 3....or top 10.

America's BEST HANDLING car...RX-8 came in 3rd..

So, shut up or I will delete you...

 

I love this forum!
