On that video, yes. But on the FD, the water seals were moved to sit in the side housings , not the rotor housings. (not sure where they are on the RX-8 - I think they are back in the Rotor housing now)

Well, its quite good, but I wouldnt say Awesome, as it is inaccurate, and incomplete.

In the part that shows the apex seal moving along the Housing, there is no eccentricity on the Rotor.

According to that video, only the front Housing has a stationery gear. The rear Housing has one, too.

Its not entirely wrong, I admit I am being picky, but it doesnt qualify for "Awesome"
