Just i heard the rx8 dorito is poop stock
>>
>>15593593
>i heard

Don't go off memes, I've told you this before. The renesis is a bit gay, and gets too hot around the exhaust port, but if maintained correctly and given a decent rev, it should last for ages.

>>15593588
My mildly modded rx7 used to get the same economy as my 3.8 v6 did. Except it was about 20 times as quick.

>but if maintained correctly and given a decent rev, it should last for ages.
Yeah theres a little silver one in town thats been going around for ages.

i only ever see them on weekends tho
>>
>>15593558

the rx-8 wouldn't be so bad if the s2000 didn't exist

but the s2000 does exist

and it's dead reliable, can crank out 700hp on stock internals, and is a honda product so there's no nonsense in maintenance

unfortunately they didn't have an engine like the glorious f20 to put into the rx-8, so they took a fantastic chassis and took their excellent 6-speed and mated it up to an engine that just wasn't worth the hassle

but honestly, if a company came out with a kit to swap the renesis for something like the 2.3L out of an MS3 i'd be shopping

Basically this.

Also i heard they have a habbit of shitting out the factory oil mixer/premix thingy? And thats what fucked alot of them also didnt they have recalls ?

I dunno why i always watch videos about them they hate on them so much when the engine is easily fixed if its not pre fucked.

From what i understand arnt dorito's easy to rebuild/work on?

Because, believe it or not, some of the people who frequent this board aren't really car enthusiasts. They only come to this board to bait people by making negative threads about widely beloved cars, whether its the motortrend GTR vs Z06 shitposters, anti rotary shitposters, anti BMW shitposters, american "luxury" shitposters, it dosn't matter. They only come to this board to make new people feel bad about liking a certain car or group of cars. They have no interest in the cars themselves, just the reactions they get. They have polarized /o/ and created a "for or a against" attitude in which no meaningful discussion can take place. And so, we arrive to a point where people are making threads asking /o/ why they hate the RX-8, when in reality many people on the board love the car, but are too afraid to truly voice their opinions for fear of being hounded by others. Btw the apex seals bust at around 100,000 miles.

I don't hate them.

I owned a 2004 S1 from new for about 20K miles, and a 2009 R3 for about 16k.

That's why I can honestly say that they are not good cars. They handle great. The engine is FUN. But it gets 12-13mpg in town. And REQUIRESSSS premix if you have ethanol'd gas.

Oh and they crash like fuckin garbage. Some tool in a Kia turned in front of my R3 and did 14K damage to my car. Popped the turn signal back in his and good to go.

But really, it's the terrible performance to mpg ratio. Needs premium, does 2mpg less IN TOWN than my Ls7 powered shitwhale that has more than double the HP. That's a bad fucking deal no matter what.

Because the penny pushers didn't want Mazda to have multiple 2 seaters anymore.

And emissions killed the turbo 13B, which killed any hope at developing the 13B design to have enough torque to pull a car that weighs more than 1200kg enough to deem 'sporting'.

Trying to plop the 13B back into a sport coupe like the MX-6 or CD Cosmo while also (essentially) developing the engine for the Miata was a mistake.

>>15596571

-The Future-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVgvCd2g9Dw

The RX-8 should always be a reminder that when you have a choice of what to do next with a specialized product, do what you do best.


Personal bitching here, but the engine should have had an external OMP system design with 'proprietary' lubricant that you'd just refill every thousand miles implemented in the 70s.

The experimental hydrogen rotary in the RX8 uses the same process as the sun, fusing hydrogen into helium and creating enormous amounts of HP in the process.
>>
I almost bought one actually. Brand new engine, top trim, owned by Mazda mechanic, Black Halo spark plugs for reliability, seemed like a good deal as far as RX-8's go. Not sure how my life would have been different if I kept it.
>>
>>15596782
>using same process as the sun
>implying Mazda created the first Nuclear Fusion reactor

Not exactly. Still, I hope 50 years in the future, hydrogen internal combustion because popular. You can get all the fun and feels of ICE but with no emissions. More power too. The main problem is containing the stuff, since it tends to be under explosive pressure and seep through the cracks of everything.

I doubt that.

If your car can do 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds, then it's not that much of a shitbox.
Yours probably also doesn't have 50/50 weight distribution, or a fairly flat torque curve all the way up to redline.

It sounds to me like you've never driven one, and are just spouting what you've heard on the internet.

Yeah whatever retard.
The S13 is considered an excellent handling car and in stock form is either 53/47 or 55/45.

Are you allowed to drive your mom's car yet?
>>
>>15601543
nah
>>
>>15601475
No I never have driven one, but the specs sounds like shit. I mean its not like 6-7 seconds is slow, but with that high ass fuel milegae it definitely is.
The rx7 on the other hand, that definitely is a beast.

I like the rx8 look. But power/efficiency ratio is off too hard

This
How many cars have a decent amount of power, are lightweight (for their class and time) AND have 50/50 weight distribution?

SA/FB, FC, RX8.

I left the FD out because it has MUCH more than decent power.

pigfat, it's not hard to balance a car when you just slap on aluminum fenders and beef up the rear

memes..

Rotaries use no more oil than a BMW or Mercedes, the acceptable oil burn rate on a BMW is actually higher than a rotary.

If they arent looked after they can be trouble. They have to have premix oil fuel and they need to be driven a certain way. Have to be driven until they are hot etc.

Most of o doesnt even have a car and the apex seals meme is funny. also most of o couldnt change oil even if you guided them through it.

As you can see from various posters in this thread,

People who don't like doritos don't like the RX-8 because dorito.

People who do like doritos don't care for the RX-8 because it's not as good as the RX-7 in just about every way, except perhaps attainability and practicality.

>unfortunately they didn't have an engine like the glorious f20 to put into the rx-8
Like you mentioned, they had the 2.3 DISI turbo (MS3/MS6), which they could've used. Look at the Mustang, it's doing great there in a longitudinal layout.

Also, yes, the S2K is more popular and in general a better car, but market pricing fixes this. An RX-8 is so much cheaper, you'll have plenty of money left for maintenance and gas - and a few cheeky mods that'll make it just as fast.

LS if draggin', JZ if driftin', 2.3 DISI Turbo if grippin'.

No. Mazda has good engines in the K's range, especially the MS3/6 ones. No reason to go for a Honda engine when you can keep it in the family.

He's right, my renesis has a I-4 turbo cucked engine under the hood.

I don't necessarily hate it. I'm just hoping that I can come across a decently cheap one so I can turn into a fun project.
I've always thought this to be a fairly descent platform for an electric conversion.

What the fuck? Deflection? You literally pointed to a picture of a 2.6 L rotary and said "post a 2.3 making above 1000hp"

What the fuck would your point be if you were excluding rotaries? Did you seriously think the 787B wasn't using a wankle engine?

What are you, 14? That's some stupid logic, if you want online enemies just make a Tumblr and post skinny white Steven Universe characters.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Todo Juku, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret battles on Project D, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla drifting and I’m the top toojer in the entire US car scene. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of dorito enthusiasts across the reddits and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your pride. You’re fucking pwned, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can beat you in over seven hundred throttle positions, and that’s just with my bare feet. Not only am I extensively trained in drift battles, but I have access to the entire supply of apex seals of the rx7club.com and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable shitbox off the face of the mountain, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit apex seals all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking ruined tofu, kiddo.
