RX8 Came All The Way From Wyoming For a New Motor

Customer found us on TikTok loved our videos, but didn't know where to send his vehicle cause he is from Wyoming, we took on this crazy project cause Will LOVES rotaries, and went from a simple engine sway to a rats nest, to electrical issues, now possible blown apex seals. Possibly stay tune for a part 2.

I miss my RX-8, sold it so my family could move. Now I'm disabled and live my car life through vids like this.

[@fastinradfordable]

One of my favorite customers as a mechanic was a man with no legs. He had a crane and wheelchair and a Chevy pickup. It had hand controls for everything. I always let him come into the back so I could show him the details of the service and condition of the truck components as it was 25yo truck. Never know what we are capable of. There’s a famous hot rod builder that only has one arm and works alone outperforms 90% of everyone who thinks they can wrench with two hands. Wish you the best brother man

Owner of the RX8 watching this vid 👁👄👁

[@wkuang]

These uploads are so fire haha. Glad theres more longer content.

[@elijanney0582]

It sounds like a lawn mower

[@twitchoru3745]

i love lawnmowers

[@tarzan9833]

Because it is

[@fastinradfordable]

Sounds like it only runs on one rotor Usually they’re smooth af

[@Name-di9wq]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@shirouta183]

in wyoming we affectionately refer to the critters in the engine bay as rocky mountain engine gerbils

[@jerico1047]

I LOVE THE POKEMON MUSIC SO MUCH ON EVERY FLIPPING VIDEO

[@PNWAdventurer]

I love RX8s and rotary engines.. this one looks extra hammered though. Sucks it all could have just been the fuse. I bought my RX8 CHEAP as a “cranking not starting”. I had it running within 30 mins because it was simply flooded. Runs like a champ.

[@boothys_sim_racin]

Worked on them things for 10yrs PO661 Normally the solenoid stack underneath the inlet manifold...and misfire jeezus just throw a set of coil packs in they are common as fk

[@fastinradfordable]

Don’t sound so sweet about it next time😂

[@fssofdeath]

That RX8 is JAAAAAANNNNNNKKKKKKKK

[@kennyman338]

Put the old engine back in then try to restart it. 😄

[@alwaysinit8823]

I randomly came across your reels on Instagram and knew I had to find your YT, amazing content

[@NorthernWind603]

Came for the motor swap, stayed for the Pokémon music

[@lukehallihan9188]

Bro they kicking the spider.....definitely funny

[@Gmane1709]

How is it possible for a rotary to sound like it’s got rod knock lol

[@NoPainNoBrainNoShame]

Bad spark timing?

[@BobbyCroseBewler]

Because they're dog shit motors. Avoid them

[@jettproductions6145]

Mine Needs A Swap As well, hopefully this vid helps with the swap

[@user-iw3ih6ji1d]

Love the vids!

[@HunterGolem]

Where is part 2!

[@lynnham6896]

Hello everyone, hope everyone has a great Friday

[@1DoPeS14]

Fun fact: The early days of soccer instead of a ball you would use the head of a dead enemy as a ball so the guys really are getting to the roots of soccer 😂

[@theodor7051]

They got the mic! NOICE

[@Riokutsue]

that's my state baby!!!

[@ogland6482]

And this is why we don't do junkyard motors, especially to less reliable motors. People total Rotaries for blown apex seals all the time.

[@antonio3953]

Cameraguy seen it didnt say nothing 😂 5:34

[@shawnasgaralli2256]

Wish you were closer to TX

[@MrVonkliest]

Man I wish you guys were local. I need a good shop around me to work on my Corolla 🤣

[@razvan1927]

And what made you think they are good ? Look how they fix cars :))) (they don’t)

[@kaedeschulz5422]

Rotory problems=Let Vargas build you a motor=Problem solved!

[@Stattec]

Love the pokemon music in the background

[@hoesssaaayyymyname5734]

No more premiers they get me anxious

[@yervang1582]

You guys wish it was a rabbit those are Rat droppings 😂

[@fastshot5739]

Is there a part 2 with this ?

[@esalgado133]

They sell a cow web brush at Home Depot. It works miricles.

[@baelm]

no shop air is wild

[@StefanMailey]

Question is. What auto shop would go to all that work without checking fuses, compression of both motors etc. lol. Yikes.

[@bobpena4413]

People from Wyoming catching strays 💀

[@capopluggin]

Quack!😂

[@driftitlikeyouownit]

You're fighting a losing battle with that rotory and you know it lol

[@yeetkosta7721]

Looking for part 2 my bro

[@Psyrecx]

Technically, any time after this video was posted, could be considered 'later'...

[@dstrange1982]

Probably a rabbit or mice, no rats in Wyoming

[@Polysophian]

You're gonna need an old priest and a young priest.

[@08HR350z]

8:22 😂

[@jimmythompson89]

You missed a washer 😅

[@Chawon-n4d]

How much do you guys charge for a motor swap in a 2019 WRX?

[@PlayTrickshots]

Where’s pRt 2 😢

[@Aesthetics622]

prolly in the dumpster LMAOOOO or the customer complaint that they did a shitty job, like bro if it has a missfire you dont even test the plugs or coils?

[@fastinradfordable]

@@Aesthetics622 Like they had a whole other engine with set of coils ect lol Maybe if they changed the engine to a bad one For not checking the fuse and identifying the complaint. Don’t listen to customers word for word. Read between the lines. They are asking a shop because they deep down want the shops wisdoms and not to just play a word game to make them happy

[@daddysoap777]

Let's gooooooo

[@SantiLikeschips]

pokemon in the background right? emerald/ruby/sapphire?

[@leagueofleagues1236]

Get me a hazmat suit now before I go in the same room as this car

[@thenet9537]

Wheres part 2

[@user-yt1if4er3q]

Why even fix it....just go buy another one for the price of a used engine and install.

[@sfvirgo]

no shop vac??

[@KingKatRider]

Any update?

[@elgringojosh825]

How old is the gas?

[@alexandrajanexo]

What is the song at 1:38??? I know it’s an edm song but I can’t remember it😭

[@brandonlopez4038]

4:07 where can I find this?

[@CallMeTopes]

tell me he didnt go down at 5:30 just a teenie bit

[@rammyissa]

Dumb ass question but do you guys look at Ford escapes 😂

[@KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

my brand new juke nismo wiring harness got destroyed by rats in texas.. literally within half of year of buying it.. I have never had this issue with cars before? is the plastic made from something?

[@jaj145]

i believe the coatings are made from a soy-based product.

[@ItzAlex626]

Yeah, Honda's have this issue too. Got a civic hybrid and they chewed up mine. The rest of my family has Toyotas. Those don't seem to be as effected. But Honda sure do. The local Honda dealer guy, says every winter. He gets a bunch in for a full harness replacement

[@PacMappy]

i was gonna say "y u no vacuum" but then again prolly no bueno since it aint a good idea to vacuum oil and sludge with all that debris

[@HawksDiesel]

Miss those light weight wankel motors!

[@SummersJamHD]

you guys truly do get the weird fucked up shit lolll

[@jonmanning3523]

Easier to just do an apex seal instead of going to a used engine that you got no idea if there's issues bad apex seal or coolant seal or anything else.

[@PlayTrickshots]

Just rebuild it 🥺

[@johnnguyen6859]

Should do a thorough bottom washing first. The vehicle is too dirty to work with.

[@sissyspaceship]

Ife yorue having renesis problems i feel bad for you son. Hes got 99 problems and mazda is definitely one.

[@brandonnorman3680]

Wheres hug guy

[@silvergaming3000]

Depending on where the car came from it might have been a pack rat

[@elizabetholney7742]

It’s rat poop rats can get huge and there poop is to rabbits are more round

[@boiled4safety]

Shouldve just thrown the whole car away bro

[@KeiichiTheOtaku]

This is why RX8s have a bad rap. Not the car, the mechanics.

[@eightfold189]

Im wondering why the customer bothered with a motor swap for the same thing instead of buying a junkyard LS1 for like $300

[@gonzo_7278]

more expensive to do a conversion probably

[@philsherrer]

Lots of whining so far...

[@plozano85]

Um... where's the rest

[@JorgeGonzalez-yp6ls]

Sounds like junk lol

[@mingobeats8465]

Bro is paying an arm n a leg for a shit box man. Should’ve at least swapped an LS into it at this point not another dorito

[@ka-tengboyz5473]

Use to be a master tech at a Mazda dealer and I kid you not. Every RX8 that comes in our shop. Gets a new reman engine. They are one of the worse engine designs ever.

[@ricecakeFTW]

That things wasnt even worth the time and labor you and your crew put into tbagy car.

[@wjm3018]

Rx8 worst cars mazda made

[@_CryptoNoob_]

I surely hope the customer doesn't have to pay for all the time spent whining and crying.... Not a good look for your shop honestly.
