Rx8 issue?

[Kracka]

If you're set on one then thicker oil plus Mazda's special rotary premix oil would be a very smart idea.

Just get an FD. When that rotary takes a shit, swap in a V8.

RX8s handle great and look good. I would be wary buying one without any maintenance records or some sort of warranty. I can put you in contact with a husband and wife who autocross a stock RX8 and have had their fair share of issues with it, were it not for the warranty they'd be out a lot of money.

well the one i am looking at when i test drove it today it threw 2 - po456 and 1 - po420 cel codes not sure what it means to have an evap leak and i dont understand the other one input would be great thanks

The P0420 is a catalyst efficiency code. It could be a rear O2 sensor, converter or it may need a new ecu reflash. Its still covered under the emissions warranty if its under 80,000 miles so you can just bring it in and get it checked out.

The nice thing about them though is they are cheap as shit. It's a good looking car for the money, but it'd be damn awesome with an LS6 in it.

correct goat blower would love it the car only has 40k on it and its an 04 u really think its under warranty yet?

Shouldn't be unless they've extended the time. Warranties expire on which ever comes first, the time from the "in service" date, or the mileage.

I will second the LS.
