Never trust a mechanic

[Glockster69]

Rotary is an awesome concept. Too bad nobody has figured out a more reliable way to mate multiple rotors that can handle big hp and still be affordable.

I still say the RX8 manual needs to be changed to include engine replacement as part of the scheduled 60,000 mile service.

Does this mean truce?

LOL Is that all you got? Why don't you go crawl back under daddy dickhead's nutsack where you belong lacky.

Yup, I think everyone else too. Sure are living up to that scoobie owner stereotype. Have a nice life, ass douche

Speaking of trust, Honda got the chain/cam/crank shit straightened out but no compression in all holes.
Now there saying the starter is gone too. That biitch was working fine when I took it to them!

Wonder if you had a valve trying to occupy the same space as the cylinder. Those fight are usually bad for both parties. Seems like new motors don't handle timing problems as well as the old ones did.

LOL, how are they getting a compression test if the starter is shot?

NOW ya know why they ain't got compression....

There are other ways to turn over the motor.

Umm, turn the motor by hand, kinda like you taught me how

Yeah, I'm really pissed about the starter shit. It sucks to be honest.

There's a minimum cranking speed to get an accurate compression test (can't recall for sure, but I want to say 400 RPM). Cranking it over by hand, you can say "it feels like there's no compression", but you can't run a proper compression test.

Hook up a remote and bypass the ignition. You can still get a compression test. In all the years at my dads shop we never once turned a key for a compression test.

If the starter's bad, a bypass is a waste of time...

Ya keep missin' the part whar they told him the starter is TU......

I'm not missing it, they're just idiots obviously. I don't believe there's anything wrong with the starter just like I don't believe its getting absolutely no compression.

Ringland failures are all too common on the latest generation of STi. It's embarrassing that Subaru has yet to do anything about it.

Hey did Porsche ever fix the intermediate shaft's desire to leave the block? That's gotta be embarrassing for them

Or this one.

You know you've arrived when you quote yourself on an internet forum

I dunno. I don't have anything against whatever anyone else wants to drive. I like Harley's, big Jap cruisers, sport bikes each in their own different ways. I like FWD, AWD, and RWD cars all just fine, for different purposes. Why some people want to get their c*nt hairs in a knot and go attacking people that drive or like something different than what they do is beyond me.

I don't have anything against what anyone drives either, but when people are saying things that are simply not true and then try to back it up with marketing pap and fanboi herpa derp then they need to be corrected.


Now if you like something becuase you think it's cool or interesting; then just say that's the reason you like it. Trying to logically justify something with ignorant statments makes you look like a d-bag. You don't require any other justification other than "I just like it".


I actually really like Subarus... A WRX is on my short list.

If you like your car, that's all that matters. But don't be so blinded by your loyalty that you can't admit that there are better cars out there.

Wankel engine. Pretty cool design, though I don't know a lot about them.

Extremely compact design. Very rev happy; not much torque but makes decent HP by spinning fast. Gets terrible gas milage, and wears out much quicker than piston engines. I like them!

For Chunky:

I still say the RX8 manual needs to be changed to include engine replacement as part of the scheduled 60,000 mile service.

118k on mine so far... I think it's starting to go, tho. The nice thing is that it's gradual, and not instantaneous. I shoulda just bought a 'vette

Time to do an LS swap in the RX8!
