Making fast turns w/very low gas
I heard from someone w/an Rx7 that if you take a corner at 75 mph or more when you haveless than 1/4 tankof gas left that the gas can slosh and starve the rotary and could badlydamage the engine. Can thisalso be a problem for the RENESIS or is it only an Rx7 issue?

Jerky, do a search; there are some topics like this, but I'm too lazy to search right now for you.
It can happen in an RX8, a pinto, an Audi, etc etc etc.....
I had it happen at extremely long G's (ie, a long sweeping corner at high speed) on the track.
No damage here, as the ecu can detect low/no fuel pressure and compensate to protect things
Just remember that this was on the TRACK, and it was one particular corner that you would never replicate on any stretch of public road.
I've pushed my 8 on the streets a bit in some "long" city corners with the fuel light on and nothing has happened.
