it would be pointless getting an rx-8 and then asking all these questions. Talk about about a buzzkill 
. I have driven a chevy before. Also a GMC and currently a Cadillac, but never an RX-8. I had started this topic with the assumption that rotary engines are long-lasting. If i had known theyre not so much, I wouldnt have started this because I am in search for a reliable car to last me to about atleast 150k miles. THANKS TO EVERYONE though who has put up with me through this thread 
. I appreciate the help

plz find a car as fun as this one and let us know. who cares about reliability, cars are meant to be driven out, otherwise we wouldnt have such amazing cars and engines. and car manufacturers dont design cars to last.. if they did, they'd be out of business because you would never buy another car again.. and if they have the option of a plastic screw or a steel screw, obviously they'll go the cheap route

alright, well.. not everyone takes it to the track. i would like to one day.. but i dont even know if it would even make it to the track, let alone go on the track. it seems the OP isnt going that route, which thus leads to the question, "whats the point?" for all the crap he asked about..
and btw, "fast as ****" is slow, cuz **** dont move. it stays sizzlin on the ground... fast as ****, go buy a civic

I did prime the aluminum with a high temp self etching primer to make sure it stays stuck to the block though. Hopefully it wont peal or flake off... we'll find out once it's running. I was going to powder coat it, but decided not to waste any more money than I already had.
