Starting & turning off the 8 moter.

Most of the items here have been dealt with, going to touch on the two that haven't. The fuel pump primes before you even start the car, so waiting after doesn't make sense. The other one is an endless debate, but unless you are running a SOHN adapter synthetic oil is a big no-no for rotaries unless you like carbon buildup, which the Renesis is prone to anyway. Even Mazda says to stay away from it, and that says a lot

You are correct about the fuel pump but I figure I can do some thing like tis because it isn't hurting any thing to do so( sort of like putting your toung in your cheek before starting for the first time your build you did .). Iam not running a sohn adapter, and you are correct again that it is an endless debate ad you forgot to add, and not a winning argument on either side. The jury is out so to speak on the syn vs Dino debate. Carbon build up is a very important issue. I try to address that by running my about up to 8,000 rpm several times during my play time.

As far as mazda goes, what Mazda says and a buck will get you a cup of coffee, so you see I am not a believer of Stealer ships. I have been using syn oil for quite a while with no bad effect in fact my motor runs better than it did before I started using syn oil. I am going to pull my plugs this weekend and have a gander at the condition after so many thousand miles. I have a friend at Mazda Racing tha helps me out now and then no worries mate.

I would like to see compression numbers on your engine.

You know I would also. I will in the next few weeks get the compression tested from a friend at Mazda racing and post his official paper here. I am running the mountains again tomorrow. I will try to do this as soon as possible. I believe the compression should be around 60 or so, correct me if I am wrong on that one?. They have the right tester there.

I looked into the compression test and the stealer ship said it costs around $300.00 ( Lake wood racing Mazda). I am looking for some one who has a tester I can use. I could buy one I suppose, but I don't know where or how much?. How often do you compression test?. I know it has to be a tester made for the rx8 motor I think>?.

I an take a picture of the dash for you

lol lol. Look man don't you ever venture beyond the red line. The red line starts in little lines ......then .....lol lol. Look man not every body follows the rules like you might, that being said I run mine right up to the 8000rpm mark and I know I am close to the rev limiter and who knows the accuracy of any factory gauge?.

I like hearing the bell ring. I might break some thing but unlikely , that may be why they installed a rev limiter, ya think????. If your worried about breaking yours then that's your thing. If I break mine by .../.oh my god ....going over the line on the tachometer , um there is no penality for rining the bell at what ever the factory rev limiter is set at and I would bet if you tested 10 8's on the rev limiter settings ou would get 110 different variances on the test. You make a big deal out of nothing sir. You think what you like sir but I don't really give a hoot. I may push it tomorrow when I run up and down the mountains to see what the rev limiter feels like?
