The mazda computer is not talking to the GM computer in any way shape or form...And why is there wires all over the engine bay...
Confused how the RX8 platform has attracted such ignorant shade tree engine swappers lol
I don't understand it either. Maybe they wanted to surprise their buddys: "they'll think I'm driving a rice burner, wait until they hear the sound of the cOmaro engine" F-ing hillbillies, lol.
Because none of them recognize how quite a lot of the car's performance is due to explicit design taking advantage of an engine being placed where no other engine can fit?
These are people that think a suspension is a suspension, they are all roughly the same, except the stiff ones handle better.
Who's talking BS now your Renny Rex isn't some marvel of engineering it was a novelty weekend car that never paned out and was struck from Mazda's line up after the updated R3 couldn't cut it get over the fact you over paid for junk you invested too much money in junk accept your but hurt and move on,, jeez

My god your dense.
You seriously have absolutely no concept of automotive engineering/anything what so ever.
Keep us posted when yours is on the road so I can keep mine off

Yes, me and every other engineer ever employed by any car manufacturer is butt hurt that the laws of physics exist. We collectively cry into our coffee mugs every sleepless night, ashamed to admit our lack of superhuman abilities that would enable us to ignore the laws of physics.
On the other hand, we do like to smuggly gloat over watching people pretend that they do have the ability to ignore the laws of physics.

....and more self absorbed BS, bro why don't you pull your head out of your *** because in a 3100bls car plus a 200lbs driver adding another 150-200bls is nothing,, not sure about the engineering lala land, in reality it wouldn't make a drastic difference.
but I guess if you suck at driving as much as you suck at working on your own car then I guess you would need a perfect 50/50 balanced car with not to much power so you don't hurt yourself, Hey! you know what I herd Rotard-R-Us is having a sale on Triangle shaped foam helmets!
do you know what the definition of insanity is? its rebuilding the same **** motor over and over and still being stuck with a **** motor. I'm done I'm deleting my account and moving to driftworks or mighty car mods I'll have the same user name look me up in 2 months
some please post instruction on how to delete account please and thank you
I found this form to be quite knowledgeable but populated with closed minded wanna be car guys.
get dirty or buy a prius
to get the ban ball rolling
hey mister engineer your just going to get replaced by a little Brown or Asian kid because your so closed minded it's hilarious our generation thinks out side the box so keep gloating while you can,,
you know this is in your garage/man(pu$$y) cave
THIS IS FUNNY, IF THIS PIC MAKE YOU BUTT HURT THEN ITS TRUE!
That is a pretty funny pic though. All from your own personal collection or did you get your buddies to pitch in? Which one is your personal Friday night favorite?

Much easier to get deliberately banned than having to prove the P.O.S. swap will actually run.
Same thing with LSrex, "Oh, crap, I can't back up all the B.S. I've been spewing with video of all the imaginary races I've been winning and can't even beat a rotary in a drag race, so I'd better get banned and sell my P.O.S. car and ask 3 times what anybody in their right mind would even think about paying."
These 2 cars aren't worth anything to anybody except in the fantasy land of the junkyard wannabe 'builders' who think because they can put a junkyard motor in a chassis and get it to run, that they're super mechanics, when those of us who have spent years getting paid to actually BE mechanics, or enthusiasts who actually know a thing or two about how automobiles are supposed to function know better than to waste our money and even more precious time on some half-assed swap that will never run or drive right.
Be a man, finish it, and shut everybody up.
No one is fooled by the B.S.

Lol a Honda civic can beat a rotary in a drag you ding dong all right I will stay and continue to post on my thread only also I was a mechanic for years, that's why I accuired so many tools being a "paid mechanic" dosent pay. They make 25/hr max or flat rate as a plumber (so easy) I'll make 40-60/hr

That is really scary to think you put wrenches to cars for money.
That honda civic will never beat a rotary at the track tho.
The drag racing comment was in response to my saying the LS swap guy, who challenged 9k to a drag race then wouldn't back it up, couldn't beat his rotary.
The Civic could probably beat that LS RX8 in a drag race.
My Turbo Civic was faster than 99.9% of the RX-8's on this site, including the only REW swapped one to hit the drag strip and post numbers. So let's keep Hondas out of it,

Sounds like ricer B.S.
We're gonna need some video.
sadly other than a few grainy pictures, those were pre instant gratification internet times.
Coincidentally though, Hoss-05 and I are doing a B series DOHC VTEC swap into his 90' CRX that will also be boosted. It should be fun, the engine/trans and swap parts are already purchased and in my garage, we just need to finish his Turbo RX-8 first.
I find it interesting to see where people came from car wise. I have owned a little bit of everything from a 280ZX Turbo to a Z28. I have met many people from this site over the years attending various events and it always surprises me what type of car guys the RX-8 attracts, everything from classic sports car guys to muscle car guys and everything in between . And lately all my die hard rotary lovers have been on a BMW kick, it's weird.
Hopefully some day the rotary returns in a new platform.
