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.

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?

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

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

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?

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.

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..
http://www.motortrend.com/features/p..._8_bmw_m3.html
Or America's Best Drivers car...MX-5/Miata came in 3rd.

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