Again, just wondering:
-Are bearings, rotors, e-shaft (well, all internal parts) the same in both engine models?
-High power engines has bigger compression, right...?
-So are those rotors completely different or just shape of those pools is different?
-Rotor housings and sides are completely different?
-Different flywheels and counter balanses?

Sorry again my curiosity but Renesis has been on my mind like daily basis ;)
I really really really really need to get one of those and take it apart and study it!  ;D
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

One thing I do know about the renesis is that the rotor have small scallops in them to increase inlet duration

That kumo is a cat D too. Any car in autotrader Is getting 1000 knocked off minimum, would need to get a compression check too.

How much was the r3? Tax in them is 409 a year isn't it?

I got one of the last R3s for just under £20k - but there are some real bargains now and even mine in excellent condition with low mileage is probably only worth about £8k at best.

But all RX-8 registered 2006 and later are £500 tax.

Right so I'm prety much going to be buying one when the rx4 cash arrives in my bank, the gf has said an rx8 is her fave car.

That silver one is a great bargain BUT it's silver:( no matter how much you clean them or polish them they just don't pop.

Rx8 stormy blue would be the best colour but I can't be too picky.

Do people break R3s? So I could get a set of those seats and they should bolt straight in right??

Been looking at racing beats suspension package :)

ARBs, and some 0.5" lowering springs that are slightly stiffer. Recommended for street or auric rods use.
