last week i ask a recon shop at penang
the price is 03' RM140k, 04' RM150k, 05' RM160k to 170k
auto transmission is more cheaper than manual they sell...
and if u can get 05' RM150k, i think is quite cheap... but better check first, maybe when u open ur engine cover the engine is Produa Myvi 1.3 Engine, hahaha ! need to check carefully...

The RX-8 is powered by a 1.3 L (1,308 cc) naturally-aspirated Renesis rotary engine, which features newly designed side intake and exhaust ports, versus peripheral exhaust ports of its predecessor the 13B-REW. The engine is smaller and lighter than previous rotaries, primarily due to the lack of a turbocharger and associated parts. Because rotaries have multiple combustion chambers per rotary, the displacement of all the combustion chambers must be measured for true displacement. When measured fully, some describe the engine as displacing it comes out to 2.6L (2 full rotations of the eccentric shaft). However, the engine is classified by most sanctioning bodies and regulatory commissions as 1.3L.

The engine is designed in various configurations for different models, but in its most powerful setup develops 250 PS (247 hp, 184 kW) at 8,500 rpm with a sustained redline at 8,500 rpm, peak redline of 9,000 rpm and fuel rev limit/cut-off at 9,500 rpm. It won the International Engine of the Year and Best New Engine awards in 2003 and holds the "2.5 to 3 liter" size award for 2003 and 2004.

The power is delivered to the rear wheels via a five- or six-speed manual gearbox or a four- or six-speed automatic through a torque sensitive limited slip differential (which is standard with manual, and optional for automatic, models). The six-speed automatic was introduced in model year 2006 to replace the four-speed.

In late 2003 Mazda issued a press release stating that the actual horsepower of the RX-8 could be up to 5% less than previously advertised. Mazda offered to buy back any of the affected vehicles sold in the United States. Those who chose to keep the cars were given other incentives such as free maintenance, parts, and accessories. Independent engine-dyno testing has shown the engine to make approximately 217hp, however.

In August 2006, Mazda announced that a miscalculation with oil metering had led to the engines in a few RX-8s to experience problems with severe power loss and rough idle. Mazda voluntarily recalled all 2004 and 2005 and some 2006 models to test for this problem, and all engines that failed a vacuum test were replaced at no charge, even if the car was out of warranty. The catalytic converter and leading spark plugs were also checked and replaced as needed. Mazda extended all recalled vehicles' drivetrain warranty to 5 years/60,000 miles. Most affected vehicles were in hotter climates, and were exposed to high traffic, low rpm driving and long idle periods. Mazda estimated that less than 1% of engines needed to be replaced. For vehicles that did not require an engine replacement, Mazda updated the PCM to provide more oil injection at idle and under low rpm driving.

The RX-8 is available in various models in different markets around the world. Standard models include:

6-speed manual "High Power" with an output of between 170 kW (231 hp) and 177 kW (237 hp) and a 9,000 rpm redline. Japanese models produce 184 kW (255 hp).
5-speed manual "Standard Power" tuned to 141 kW (192 hp) with the redline reduced to 7,500 rpm.
4-speed automatic tuned to 141 kW (189 hp) in some markets, while the U.S. automatic is stated to deliver 197 SAE net hp (158 kW)
6-speed automatic (available in the U.S. market as of 2006) developing 212 hp (170 kW) with a redline at 7,500 rpm.


took it from some website..

its says, catalytic converter and leading spark plugs got some problem and they giving a free replaced...
