@turbopaule this noise did not come from the SSV , however, my SSV has recently went from sticky to completely stuck after mazda changed my engine. I am going to clean it myself in a week or two and will record it and post it.
It's very weird..... I didn't drive my rx-8 for the winter.... replaced battery and the engine was flooded.... after finally starting it up again.... i hear a very similar sound if not identical.... sounds goes away almost entirely once the engine is warm.... any thoughts? suggestions?
a very good way to isolate sound is to go and get urself some sort of flexible tubing, about 1 inch in diameter, then put 1 side to your ear, and use ur hand and move the other side around the engine compartment. to locate the source.
then you need to figure out if the clicking is matching your vehicle speed or engine speed (rpm)
It really depends on how hard you drive it. I tend to zip around town with a good bit of stops, so I probably get 16-18mpg. On a highway trip however, I average 22mpg.
yes, fixed it myself, check the video info again and follow the link. wires should be obvious, plugs should be obvious, if u never seen a coil, follow the wire from the plug and it will lead u to the oil, careful when installing coil and wire on torque, improper torque of both will be bad. i snapped a bolt overtorquing my coil, and it was a messy repair XD.
I think am having the same problem with my AUDI, did the car shake often?

Yea what this was is a broken mount. Putting the coils bring the HP back to stock and make shake and tapping.

Not really. I've known a lot of rotaries actually get an avg of 25 mpg.
