Hi Scotty,
What do you think about the 2005-20011 Mazda RX-8 with the Rotary Renesis engine? I've had mine since 2005 and plan on keeping it. Just wanted to know your opinion about the care and how it's built.
Take care.
Tom

Interesting design but not very efficient. Here's Jason's opinion on those:

Honestly other than the apex seals going around 60k theyre pretty good engines, just awful on emissions. Is yours auto or manual? Ive also heard those need to be revved up every now and again, so dont be afraid to do that on occasion.

Maybe as a toy, but you really need to know how to work on one of those. Not many people can.
