QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jul 4 2016, 04:29 PM) rotary engine.... thats why its cool, thats also why its cheap u better have some fairly deep pockets if you want to maintain this car well i dont mind spending for petrol and parts. im just afraid coz i dont know how to check the engine and the dealer can say many things for me to buy. wer do i get the comp test done?word of advice, being able to buy the car does not mean you should buy it. You should first find out if you can maintain it. 1)parts can be obtained, its actually not an issue BUT prepare to fork out quite abit for parts (not so many parts available locally, shop will order them) 2)overhauling the engine costs quite alot (its an old car, be careful bout what owners tell you, if you are really serious, get a comp test just to be safe) |

QUOTE(xemoboyx @ Jul 4 2016, 05:32 PM) Very well balance car. Get a manual. And be prepared to learn alot about rotaries. It's gonna be fun im planning to use this car as a weekend car. i already have a kia spectra which is fully paid so i will have only rx8 if i get 1 to maintain. how much does the normal service cost and before i buy the car how do i test the engine.. im aware of the fuel consumption and what im gonna get into but this has been one of my favs. |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jul 5 2016, 04:25 PM) any garage that has the right tools can do it for you i think.... i dont think a comp test on a rotary is any different from performing the test on a typical piston engine... im sry i dont get your question? you mean for rx-8 ?*would be better if you can get a rotary expert to check the car....* you have a kia spectra... mind me asking, how much you are willing to fork out yearly on this car?.... someone who owned one mentioned that it is almost the same as maintaining an evo/sti...... (dif type of car, i know thats one of the reasons i myself slowly veered away from one (my budget admittedly was very low, me poorfag maxing out at around 50k, could find cars going for that price but not much excess $ incase crap happened) well im not really sure about that. but i know no point buying that car if i only can afford to pay monthly. im just afraid ill chose the wrong second hand car. i was duin research, it seems have to rebuild the engine after a certain km |
