thinking of buying an RX 8

answer to question one. Yes in about twenty years or more for parts. Some may get harder, like new chassis but normal wear items no worse than anyother car. End of model run, couldn't meet new emissions standards and world economy in the shitter. Practical, well is a jacked up 4 x4 practical? That depends more on you and your needs than anything else.

Question two - 4 port vs 6 port motor. Search this site or web for more details on this.

Question three - No normal hands tools will let you fix 80 percent of this car. Yes engine rebuild or major suspension you will. Again just like any other car.

Question four - yes but no with boost. Yes it can but be ready for big bucks for it to be done right. Better off buying suspension mods than boost. If you want hp and torque this isn't the car for you period. Buy a rustang/camero.
