Lame :(

Ninja edit.

I am very much looking forward to this making it to DGRR. Notice I left out a pic.

Nate- what exhaust is that? Looks huge.

Thanks DJ. Exhaust is a Greddy catback. I guess its the SP Elite.

Oh, and I feel I need to warn you (since you're a Hoon).

The RX-8 is NOT as tough as an FB!! :D

Tough as in? Lol

:awesome:

Take your pick, could be more than one answer.

Tough to get a girl to ride with you, tough to get it to run, tough to go fast.

Well I am married and my wife likes the RX8 more than me so I am okay on that front haha.

Seen this before, thought it was funny!

Haha Estevan. Mine isn't nearly as badass as yours, but it should run ok :)

:icon_tup: No worries man, hope to check out your RX-8 at DGRR 2014

.

Sounds good man.

Very Nice!

Thanks Zach.

Figured I would share an exhaust clip...

Didn't sound bad. Have any luck with the intake issue yet?

Its been cold and wet here in STL so no go so far. Should have new plugs/wires/coil next week so that is when the real fun begins. Will probably ghetto compression check it too while I am at it.

Considering thats the Mazda standard of motor replacement. Change the plugs/coils. If that clears up the issue then all good. If not replace motor.

Haha yeah. I have a forum member lined up for a rebuild if thats the case. I still have a hard time believing its low compression considering how easy it starts and how well it drove. My past rx7 experience said low compression = PITA to start.

For some reason the Reni doesn't play like other rotaries. Usually hot start is the sure fire kicker. Getting the uprated starter, changing the plugs and coils like underwear, and running any oil other than 5w30 is the key to keeping them playing nice.

But your right normally hard starting sluggish throttle and hunting idle are the normal death notes.

Well nowhere near a definitive test, but I let this car idle the other day for about 15-20 minutes. Then I shut it off, waited 5 minutes, and cranked her back up. Started almost as easy as initial startup. Previous owner stated Mazda two different times told him low compression and wanted $6k for a new motor since the mods voided the engine warranty.

Man what did he do to it?

No wonder it is blown! Reni's don't like turbos.

No proof its blown as of yet haha. Dont jinx me bro :D

True true! Still running stock computer?

Emanage piggyback that comes with the Greddy kit.

Well its official...rotor 1 is dead. Dreaded solo bounce.

Blame the emanage.

Ditch it and get an Adaptronic!!

Dude I don't have that kind of spare cash. I would likely just ditch the turbo before going to a different ECU setup.

Hey Nate..... If you wanna have a VERY long and in-depth conversation about Renni turbo's, the greedy kit, and the adaptronic, hit me up via PM and I'll shoot you my cell phone.... I have more experience with those than I care to admit..... the emangle and the greedy kits that is.... the adaptronics I have a lot of experience with as well.... but I like those....

Thanks Brian. I may have to take you up on that. Right now I just have to get a good motor in the car and have it going for DGRR 2014. Hope this doesn't turn into more hastle than its worth. I am in it cheap enough I could part and profit or go back N/A, but I would really like a turbo 8.

Man sorry to hear about the engine.

Hope you get her back together for DGRR this year.

Thanks Estevan. I bought it knowing it could be blown and budgeted accordingly. Still surprised how well it fired up and ran given the state of the engine. Oh well. Absent something major and unforeseen, it will be at DGRR.
