Smile Just bought a 2004 rx-8 and...

It has 27,000 miles very nice like new! I have a general understanding of the rx-8 and rotary engines. basic. I just had it in the mariha shop in santa barbara, ca and the owner said the engine sounded great and strong.

There is a noise i notice when i rev the engine it's happens between 5.800 and 6.250 almost sounds like a ring ratteling or something then its happens again at 8.000 and there seams to be a power shortage close to 9.

just wanna keep my rx-8 running happy. i check and fill the oil every time i fill the tank. Ive also owned a mazda 3 before so mazda has been the car of my choice for about a year now... love em' but they seem very sensitve just like women.

You've probably been hanging out in Carpenteria too much.

Good call, especially since he's saying "6.250" that's the magic number.
