Rotary Power - Mazda RX-8

The first version of the RX-8, the SE3P, produced from model years 2003 to 2008, is powered by the "RENESIS" 13B-MSP (multi side port) Wankel rotary engine displacing 1.3 litres (twin 654 cc rotors) which, when coupled with a six-speed manual transmission, will typically produce 237 hp (177 kW) at 8,200 rpm and 211 Nm (ECE) of torque at 5,500 rpm.[1] The multi side port engine improves on fuel efficiency and emissions over the RX-7's engine

[rollzon20z]

side ports are gay if i ever get a rax8 im ripping the renisis out and dumping a 13b rew in

[DJZJ7SUKY]

@F1GURIN that is tru. but they wer made more for like sports. and wer used for such. the rx8 is more of a family car. yeah it has 13b and thats like THE SHIT right ther. but c'mon. the series could talk they would be like welcome to the family!!! show us ur stuff kid. DA FUK!?!

[F1GURIN]

@DJZJ7SUKY the fc weighed 3k, 100lbs heavier. The rx8 has a factory backseat, im surprised and happy they made it to 2900. considering the rear seat and the bracing for the lack of a pillar between doors.

yes yes the fd and fc came with backseats but they arent... really backseats, only small children could fit and it wasnt standard, it was a dealer add on.

my ONLY gripe is that it came with too skinny of tires/rims. i want 255 stock, we get 225.

[DJZJ7SUKY]

@F1GURIN yes it is heavy. its the fat albert of the rx series. and wat r ya callin ME fat for eh? ill hav u kno that ima behemoth!! a big o'l whale! heh heh. psh duh lol

[F1GURIN]

@DJZJ7SUKY 2900 lbs is heavy? Its 50lbs more than the s2000...You must be a giant if you cant fit in the backseat, i have the 40th anniversary and im 5 11 185lbs and i fit perfectly fine, my brother is 5 10 250 lbs and he fits fine. there are people who are 6 feet tall and fit.
