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...

i don't think you understand what i am saying
stop replaying i though you where done
s2000 is better car then rx8 overall
and i said its slower then rx8 but its better
just like you said rx8 is better then 400whp evo x or 911 Porsche because you seen rx8 go faster at auto x...i will take either of those car over rx8 any day
and i think s2000 its a better cornering machine then rx8 even tho its slower
it has more potential to build on while with rx8 engine there is no point to try to make more power as engine cant handle it
my friend has 700whp s2000 its a monster something rx8 engine will never accomplish
i don't know any rx8 that made it past 70k that was raced all tho i have seen tone of them go trough two engines within firs 100k so i wouldn't say rx8 engine is better then rx7 engine...all internals of rx7 engines are stronger and can handle more power ... my FD has over 100k went single turbo at 70k still running strong on original engine

only good bit of info i got was to add bit more oil ....witch helped ...as stated before rx8 started building compression in rear rotor 30PSI front still 0 psi and its not do to the irons as front iron are better...but rotor housing
as i said before i do not give rats *** about rx8 and explained why i did what i did
i got the car for 2k with two blown engines...so i decide to practices on it before i build a brand new engine so it served its purpose.... i did not try push starting it...as i am just going to take the engine out and install Mazda rem engine in
if i get my hand on one bit better rotor housing dirt cheap i know engine would start and i will drop it in FC or FB
its cheaper to get mazda rem @ 1800$ then to rebuild this engines

Well I've owned a over 40 Hondas all kinds including Acura Same !! just because I work on them flip and make money on them , that's what I know their good for !!! we working on 4 project cars at the moment and when I mention my rx8 I get more attention then any Honda unless is the NSX and s2000 are nice but I wouldn't buy I driven them and it feels good but it dont feel like the RX8 feeling at All. Just saying !!!
_And about your built good luck but don't smash the RX8 because you think is a piece of yunk . Just focus on rebuilding that Engine right and getting out their, race it I'm 100% sure you will Love it once you get it right and Actually Race it once you Pass up more expensive Cars and leading over s2000's that feeling will come back and bite you in The *** for taking about the 8, well thats if you are a good racer.
Anyways did you pull start it yet ?

so u expect a stock engine to handle how much power again? you don't even know what you are doing that explains why u love using sandpapers.
my friend has 700whp s2000 its a monster something rx8 engine will never accomplish
i guess i can call s2k garbage now cuz a 20 something yr old 2jz can go over 1500 HP?
rx8market is small and resources are limited, just about 5 years ago people said 300 HP is the most rx8 can go, now its already at 400 something. just because u don't know how to do it doesn't mean someone will not be able to.
i don't know any rx8 that made it past 70k that was raced all tho i have seen tone of them go trough two engines within firs 100k so i wouldn't say rx8 engine is better then rx7 engine...all internals of rx7 engines are stronger and can handle more power ... my FD has over 100k went single turbo at 70k still running strong on original engine
early rx8 was murdered by Mazda stock programming, well i guess ignorant morons like u wouldn't cared.
went single Turbo? u kept talking about how stock rx8 sucks and don't last and u brag about ur modded fd. try it on stock fd then u come back, oh did u even do those mods urself? have u sandpaper ur turbo`s bearing?

has it ever been considered that maybe we should lower our standard on the expectation of americans in general? I work for a good size company and only about 3% of the workforce can write a professional letter.....I am not even really counting punctuation.

i am not American and English is not my 1st language... i speak 3 languages...so yea my spelling is not to good...
i am a rotary fanatic jut not big on rx8 i think it was a mistake and Mazda should have been working on new FD
as far as work on my FD i do it all by my self don't really let any on touch it
and my stock rx7 was still way way faster then rx8... actually my mom's car is faster then rx8...
i think the reason for not working on a better car like my FD first and taking on this RX8 project... is just practise as i stated so many times now and because its a rotary car like my FD and engines only have hand full of differences...and i have another engine from Mazda....
now nycgps you need to stop talking ****...
i would never send out the housings for resurfacing as its just cheaper for me to get new ones from mazda...
and there is no good rotary shops in NYC or NY i have seen some work from NYC rotary shops

yes its my first rebuild...that's why i didnt wanna go all out
hard to see in this pic but the edge of the housings are bit more used up on a apex tip side while the other edge is fine
both engines started in there broken down form so i think it just mater of braking in the new internals bit more
but the engine is out all ready and Mazda rem is going in...

serbrx8, What worked for you? I just rebuilt my engine and it wont start. I reused all housings and did the rebuild because of a coolant seal that went bad. I was getting coolant in my oil, but the car still ran before the rebuild. After the rebuild, im only getting 30psi of compression. I was able to start it by rolling down a steep hill in 2nd gear and then I have driven it for 200 miles, changed the oil and driven it for another 200 miles and changed the oil again, but it still has low compression and wont idle or wont start on it own? Am i destroying this thing by trying to break it in? Do i need new housings / irons? Is using solid corner seals the problem? or 2 piece apex seals from atkins rotary? I used an atkins rotary rebuild kit. My biggest question is should the housings be resurfaced, and who can do it for me? I live in California, but since these housing will individually fit in a laptop box, I could probably ship them anywhere. Im not in a huge hurry to do this, since this is a project car of mine. I have learned so much about rotary engines in this as my first rebuild. I want to fix my mistakes. Does anyone have any advice that can help?
