May be you enjoy "The Best Rotary Engine" and "The Yonto Pump" showed here in YouTube. That pump does not need any ring or special piece to seal its mechanism.
Tell you what though (in reply to the arguement below between yourmotherrules and BolgOfTheNorth) the insurance is much cheaper even on the higher powered model of the rx-8, which is always a good thing if ur a younger driver.
I've owned an RX8 & this is a fair review except that the hand brake doesnt get in the way at all & the steering wheel isnt "nice" its way too big, not in the ideal possision & bit ugly.
Ya I actually own a winning blue 05 Gt Rx-8... and I agree with the fact that the hand brake is completely out of the way... but, this is an overseas model where the hand brake is right next to the driver, not on the other side of the center console like ours
You think RX8's are used for practicality, I couldnt even fit 3 of my mates in my RX8 yet I can fit 4 in my evo easily, track purposed cars are things like Lotus Elise's not evo's, their high performance saloons.
Every message you write just confirms your ignorant moron that talks shit to try to defend the slightest criticism about your car! You've obviously never been in an evo 8, if you had you'd know the build quality is way better than the rx8 & if I wanted something with "class" I'd buy a German car & not what is now one of the most common coupe's in the world.
I said ONE OF the most common not THE most common & 350z's are quite rare in the UK & rx8's are everywhere.
Your the one who started comparing them I just used the evo as an example of decent size wheel & who gives a shit what the engine revs to I'd leave you in my dust in any situation.
I wasn't saying they are everywhere in every country but they do have high worldwide sales, I was saying they are everywhere in the UK.
I've driven both cars for years on roads & race tracks & if you did the same you'd realise Evo's are better than rx8's in every aspect & you wouldn't make stupid comments that make you sound like an idiot. Like you said their in different class's so stop trying to compare them, you won't win.
lol no one can win... It's an opinion. Im stating the fact that when people look at you.. what will they think? If they see a lancer they will think it's some young ass ricer doing flybys and speeding; im saying this to the people who don't know shit about evo's. In an rx-8 it will represent more class and the rotary is buttery smooth.. Also ppl think you are driving a super car when they see it.
I wasnt on about looks I was on about the driving physics. Its pointless mentioning looks/class because everyone has different taste but the fact that you keep going on about it shows your only interested in what other people think of your car whereas Im only interested in how good my car is to drive. I dont know what you mean by ricer or flybys but yes I do break the speed limit so people would be right to think so, but I'm not a narcissist like you so I couldnt give a shit what people think.
Overall a fair evaluation, but he fails to mention that the RX-8 has much better handling than the 350Z. To say that the RX-8 is "no MX-5" in handling is a bit of a stretch.
Tiff Needell is a good presenter. Perhaps not quite as entertaining as Jeremy Clarkson but a good presenter all the same and sure as hell a better driver. 5th Gear is absolute shit compared to Top Gear though. At least Needell likes the look of the car. Clarkson said the RX-8 was ugly.
i love the z, what a great car, but i love my rx8! im losing sleep taking advantage of empty roads at night. and you cant compare a tt to a z or 8, its closer to a carmen ghia

IDK wtf you are driving but the rx-8 isnt a go-kart... The steering wheel is fairly small compared to most.
yourmotherrules 3 years ago
I drive an Evo 8, that has a decent size wheel & just about every other car I've driven has a smaller diameter & thickness than the RX8's.
BolgOfTheNorth 3 years ago
... its an evo8, it is track purposed, rx-8 isnt and its used for practicality, i dont even know why were arguing a bout a steering wheel...

I'd rather have an rx-8 than a riced up econobox.
I dont know how fat your "mates" are but I can fit 3 people perfectly fine and they are all about 6 foot.
Please compare the build quality from the rx-8 to the evo... Also what does you think has more class? I'll let you guess that one.

Excuse me? That's a 350z not an rx-8. Most people don't buy it because of the rotary engine because of the fake or retarded stories they heard.
You are the ignorant one... You cant compare an evo 8,,, you also have to know they are in different classes.
I disagree with you on quality and the better interior.
Also does your car rev to 9k? Thats what I thought.

lol... Im sorry, but the UK isnt everywhere... Think of North America and Asia...
Rx-8s are quite rare over where I live and all I see is the pos droning 350z and g35s...
I will say that the EVO is plenty fast, also much faster than an rx-8, but it's nowhere near as fun to drive.
