Hi all i'm new to rotary's but i've always wanted one and now i have my very first one, a 2003 rx8. I brought this car two years ago for £350 because i was told that the apex seals were warn and I'm finally getting round to having a look at it now. The past week i've done lots of reading on the good old wankel lump and today i got my hands on a fuel pressure tester, i'm happy to announce that it would seem that the fuel pump is on its way out as the fuel pressure drops right down to 45psi after the car has been left to idle for about 30 minutes, so fingers crossed it's just the pump and not the apex seals.
