Brave picking a 2004 model, they're generally considered to be the ones with the most problems. Getting it rebuilt should solve a lot of issues though. I've owned my S1 231 for about 18 months and it's been almost faultless (only needed a new catalytic converter, and the wheels have corroded). They're brilliant cars with a bad (mostly undeserved) reputation. I'm not going to claim they're all reliable (they're not) but a lot of problems are brought on by owners not knowing how to look after a rotary. A redline a day keeps a rebuild away.

Welcome to the club! Enjoy ur experience w/ it. How low compression is it, really? Because if it still starts hot, u got plenty of miles left in the engine. Mine is starting to die, front rotor is somewhere in the high 40's or low 50's, and rear is somewhere in the high 70's and low 80's PSI. I can still drive it because the rear rotor is carrying most of the work. Hot starts are becoming an issue though. I have the 2kW starter (which I recommend, btw). ALSO, if the engine failed after about 30k miles after rebuild... I would STRONGLY question the dudes that rebuilt it. A good rebuild should last you well into the 100k mile mark, and I know that for a fact. Local rotary shop here makes awesome engines. Since it has a decat, I would definitely premix as well.

But the overall fun factor of the car makes all them little things seem not as bad to maintain. I love my rx8. Its last owner called it Rexy so I'm continuing on the name :) I bought it because of the shape, sound and fun factor. I knew it was juicey with fuel and oil but it really weren't as bad as what I'd thought it would be. :) love it and intend to keep it for as long as I can!

It's my first car and its basically been a hobby keeping it in top condition. Looking forwards to this series! Infact I got a Mazda dealership recall last year for the Fuel Tank, and one this morning for the Passenger Airbag! Replaced: Battery, Coils, Leads, Sparkplugs, Heater Matrix, Window Motor. Airbag Module, Brakes/Discs, Cat Exhaust for MOT Catback when out, Rear light seals, 3 Sensors, Starter Motor, Oil, Air, Pollen Filters, gearbox oil and engine oil frequently, Coolant. An Something next week I expect! 😂 300miles on one tank isn't happening, I've done Bristol to Ipswich a few times. I must stop both ways on a full tank almost there and then when almost at home 218miles each way. So that'll be interesting! Averaging 19-21 mpg at best. A Porsche Cayman S gets 25mpg. Still I wouldn't ever sell the RX8 Best tip: Engine Deflood procedure, hold the accelerator down and keep cranking. Once you hear it backfire slowly lift off. Naturally you'd think holding an accelerator down would flood more but Mazda designed this as the actual deflood procedure 😂 I pulled the fuel pump lead out from under the rear seat to start with, also people pull out fuses.

When i bought my RX7 in 1993 the engine failed at 95k. The tech guy from Mazda that checked the compression told me the std versions were usually good for 70k and the turbo 35k miles. Most turbo's were changed under warranty, they went so soon. When i stripped the engine and measured the rotor seals the wear would indicate a life of about 70k miles before they would fall out of their slot.. Perhaps if they were changed at 50k it would last longer.

[@thevirgintraveller]

My first job after leaving school was an an apprentice Mazda technician, from the first say I walked through the door I was working on theres. The most popular fault with this car was restarting engines that people had flooded (which was more common than engine rebuilds and low engine oil issues). That being said they sound insane...the PZ model sounds as close to a bike as you can get from a car. The feeling you get when you floor it is like no other. Instead of being thrown back into your seat you are gradually pressed back. And if things do go wrong (which apart from engine rebuilds) and constant oil refills, it's an easy car to work on. Anyway enjoy your RX8 you will have a lot of fun!

[@user-ks5ff]

What was the cause of people flooding a rotary?

[@thevirgintraveller]

@@user-ks5ff A design floor, too much fuel entering the chamber. Mazda released multiple ECU updates which was supposed to fix the flood yet made no difference. The only way to stop the engine from flooding was to hold the throttle at 4000 rpm or above and turn the ignition of whilst it's held there. That being said flooded engines that where not under warranty where a cash cow to Mazda.

Never turbo the RENESIS engine. The exhaust ports are already overworked. Turbo will only add more stress to the seals. Put a supercharger on it. Swap the header to higher flow, call it a day.

I had two RX3s in the late 70s, the most exciting car at that time. I rebuilt the engine on the first one after coolant flowed from the spark plug holes and it worked well, nobody was more surprised than me as it was unknown magical territory, I then wrote the car off in a none fault accident but bought another with a duff engine so put the rebuilt engine in that. It lasted about 2 years before it was drinking coolant again and became a pain so it had to go, I remember it also used to eat spark plugs. Love the rotary, also had two Suzuki RE5 rotary engine motorcycles with no problems.

A lot of people change the engine into a Saab B204 or B234 engine from the 900/93 models because they work brilliantly with the mazda transmission, but won't blow up

[@ANBPyro]

By the time the low oil light is on the oil injectors are starving for oil and the engine is shot. "Rebuilds" are junk!!! You don't rebuild a rotary you replace it. I haven't seen these 300 mile per tank claims but 400 is double the average a stock rx8 makes with 80% highway. So unless you plan to add a fuel tank in the trunk I don't see that happening. Just rolled over 100k on my 8 and no issues. Treat them right and you can get 200k out of a stock rotary. The automatics not reving the engine up like you should is what killed a lot of rx8s and gave them a bad name. That and people not doing maintenance and letting the oil drop to low starving the oil injectors.

[@scorpionruf]

Rebuilds are fine mine is still perfect after more than 2 years upgrade the coils (ls2 coils) ditch the cat keep the oil up and it's fine

[@motorised1]

@@scorpionruf premix fuel is the norm for high performance and ceramic seals from a after market manufacturer ans funnily enough you have a reliable sports car

@@motorised1 his is far from high performance and I have a 06 231 rx8 never premixed it and won't ever

[@GrandDesignsSims]

@@motorised1 I would say avoid ceramics, They're great until they detonate. Sure they last longer but I would rather replace the apex seals after 50k than replace the engine after 60k. There are people who designed some very nice cast iron seals. Soft enough so they bend, not detonate but hard enough to last long and cope with high pressure and compression.
