piston engine is for you

Meh. None if you take reasonable care of it and it's in good shape when you buy it.

You should still save for an LS swap.

/o/ isn't the place to ask. Most here wouldn't even know what an apex seal looks like without Googling it.

>>17863121
don't do it OP, the engine will explode once a week, eats a gallon of oil a day and runs over children when you are asleep. stay away from that market. never google "rx8" again.

Why did Mazda had to make that half-sedan, half-coupe abomination.

>>17863201
It came out at a low point for car design, mid 2000s were a shitty period.

>>17863121
Rotaryfags are like bmwfags they are in denial that they own a piece of shit.

no, ur waifu a shit

>>17863121
If you could get one in a convertible, I'd go for it.

Hell, for 4K I might get one and take a sawzall to the B pillar myself and make it a convertible.

>>17863182
Insurance-it was cheaper to insure with the not-2-door config.

>>17863121

Generally the ones that are 4k, are 4k for a reason.

If you want a rotary, then your'e gonna want some rx-7. The rx-8 is a great piston swap candidate though.

>going from two to one oil ports

Will the new rotary be amazing bros?

How much can I get a decent condition rx7 for?

>>17863147
Does the engine block really move around like that? No wounded why it eats apex seals.

>>17863705
The second gen ones had three oil ports, so they went from three to one. Ballsy move imo

>>17863745
I see them going for no less than 20k with nearby importers.

>tfw buy a rx7
>drop a v8 in it :)

>>17863182
rx8 is the mrs of rotaries.
People hate it but in fact it's by far the best handling one.
I'd still have an FD and keep the rotary to anger LS benchracers

>>17863121
>4k
damn I know they're kinda ugly but are they really that undesirable

>>17863121
At least 2k a month in just oil

>>17864100
>4k
damn, in poland you can get one for 2300, albeit imported from the uk so rhd but whatever. throw in an engine rebild for a good measure and you get the best fun for the money really

>tfw for me a year's insurance on an rx8 would equal the value of the car itself

around 250 uros a month for fuel and upkeep

Dollars or euros.
I paid 4500 for mine over 3 years ago - in good condition.
I spent 70 a week on petrol
200 -400 every six months (6k) on oil, filters and genera servicing shite . Done near 45k in it (for 145 total on the odometer)
I spoent a 10 every 4 tanks on a litre of good 2-stroke oil.
Blew an ignition could. 500 quid for a set of LS coils
Blew the cat. 50 quid time and scaffold pole.
Blew a shock on a trackday. 900 fucking quid, including fitting. But new coilovers.
Got hit by a JCB on a building site and had to repair it, for 500 including respray. Cunts wouldn't admit who was driving the digger.
Have a bizarre cooling problem that's vanishingly intermittent, and another CANbus problem which means it likes to lose ABS, TCS, all the gauges, or all tree, randonmly.
Still starts. Still runs. Still gets daily use as a people-truck, work-van, commutemobile, track machine, GT tourer and other usual car shit.
Smells like a refinery fire when running.
Shoots flames at pedestrians too.

fucking worth it

>>17863121
if ur not retarded and put 91 octane + conventional oil in it u will only have to replace apex seals every 70k miles or so

don't baby it either, drive the shit out of it or you will get carbon buildup

>>17863344
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Do not do this

>>17868271
Its no worse than buying a car because it has a rotary engine so you can replace that engine with a LS....
Anyway, it would be a sexy ragtop.
