    first oil change for my rx8

    yeah, the rotary never caught on here in the states.....so a lot of the vendors specific to the RX_ dont really have vendors in the US. Even the vendors that are over here that have RX_ parts dont stock a lot of them, or it takes a while to get. Its a let down for fans of the car/motor.....even...

    special oil for rx8

    Id be REALLY interested to know exacaly what oil they put in, esp since it is supposed to be a non-syn oil in the car (according to mazda north america). All mobil 1 is technicaly "synthetic" although most of their oils dont use a PAO or POA (whatever it is) base stock, so they are just REALLY...

    special oil for rx8

    the only thing I could see is that some dealers (when the RX8 first came out) didnt have the correct weight oil (5w20) and would actualy buy it from local parts stores by the bottle......although they didnt pass the cost off to the customer, they just billed mazda for it and charged the customer...

    Hello Everyone!!

    I live in FL (so no chance of anything but rain and heat here) but I have several friends that drive their cars daily in the snow (durring winter). Mazda did EXTENSIVE wintertesting with the RX8 in heavy snow and ice in some of the coldest places on earth. The car is light and RWD but the...

    Single Turbo Advice/Recommendations TO4S?

    the gt35r is a great match to a stock engine rx7 or a street-port rx7, it can make 400whp@1bar of boost on pump gas, and with a street port make almost 450whp@1bar of boost on pump gas, boost comes on early and really pulls from ~3000 to redline. It really makes it a fun street car.

    Single Turbo Advice/Recommendations TO4S?

    it wont make as much power as the t04r series of turbo, those will flow enough to make over 500whp, the t04s (a 60-1 turbo with a t04s cover) and a GT35R will make about the same power, at about the same boost, and do so SAFELY on pump gas....... Thats about 400whp@1 bar (15psi) and about 450whp...

    Single Turbo Advice/Recommendations TO4S?

    something like the GT35R can give you good response and low lag but still give you about 100 more wheel hp than the stock twins can.

    the car feeling faster has some truth to it, as the engine wears the seals seat themselfs and the car "breaks in". It does take quite a bit longer for a rotary engine to "break in" than a piston motor....although the differences we are talking about on a new motor vs a motor with say 10,000...

    Melted Piston (56k IF it has the lube, but don't try dry.)

    maybe you should get your injectors flow tested....that injector could be flowing less than it should....adding to the lean condition.w

    2004 rx-8 GT help needed.

    that 900 includes the headlight housing itself, and the HID bulb and ballast, the other bulbs that go in the housing and I belive the wiring harness as well. its not uncommon for the 1 peice sealed headlights on modern cars to cost 500-800+ each.
