Here is the specs for a 2004!
Yes - it has a rotary engine........ I don't know all there is to know about it, but it basically means it rev's higher than your normal car.
How do you find a short in backup lights on a 97 GMC p/u?
The only drawback I know out of experience of this, is that if you want to drop it down to overtake or something - you already have to be doing quite high revs. Other than that it is a great looking car, but I don't know much else about it.
Do you own or have you owned a 2004 Kia Rio? How would you rate the car?

Why does my Mustang chime when I start it?
The RX-8 was designed as a front mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive 2+2 coupé. The car has a near 50/50 weight distribution, achieved by mounting the engine behind the front axle and the gas tank ahead of the rear axle. Weight is trimmed through the use of materials such as aluminium (hood, trunk, roof, and rear doors), fiberglass for the body panels and a carbon fiber composite driveshaft.
Is there a way to adjust idling speed for my VW Polo, 1.4 - 2002 model?
The car features a pair of rear-hinged "freestyle" doors (similar to suicide doors) in order to provide easier access to the rear seats. The RX-8 has no B-pillar between the front and rear doors, with the leading edge of the rear door acting as a 'virtual pillar' to maintain structural rigidity. Because of the overlapping design, the rear doors can only be opened when the front doors are open.

[edit] Powertrain

The RX-8 is powered by a 1.3 L (1,308 cc) naturally-aspirated RENESIS 13B Wankel-type rotary engine, which features newly designed side intake and exhaust ports. The engine is smaller and lighter than previous rotaries, primarily due to the lack of a turbocharger and associated parts. Though the engine is only 1.3 L, it is rated to get 18 mpg in the city.

The engine is designed in various configurations for different models, but in its most powerful setup develops 250 PS (247 hp, 184 kW) at 8500 rpm with a sustained redline at 8500 rpm, peak redline of 9000 rpm and fuel rev limit/cut-off at 9500 rpm. It won the International Engine of the Year and Best New Engine awards in 2003 and holds the "2.5 to 3 liter" size award for 2003 and 2004.

The power is delivered to the rear wheels via a five- or six-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic through a torque sensitive limited slip differential which is standard with manual shift transmission & optional for the automatic models. With model year 2006, a 6-speed automatic transmission was introduced to replace the 4-speed automatic.

In late 2003 Mazda issued a press release stating that the actual horsepower of the RX-8 could be up to 5% less than previously advertised. Mazda offered to buy back any of the affected vehicles sold in the United States. Those who chose to keep the cars were given other incentives such as free maintenance, parts, and accessories.
Can I buy a new or fairly new car without a motor?
In August 2006, Mazda announced that a miscalculation with oil metering had led to the engines in a few RX-8s to experience problems with severe power loss and rough idle. Mazda voluntarily recalled all 2004 and 2005 and some 2006 models to test for this problem, and all engines that failed a vacuum test were replaced at no charge, even if the car was out of warranty. The catalytic converter and leading spark plugs were also checked and replaced as needed. Mazda extended all recalled vehicles' drivetrain warranty to 5 years/60,000 miles. Most affected vehicles were in hotter climates, and were exposed to high traffic, low rpm driving and long idle periods. Mazda estimated that less than 1% of engines needed to be replaced. For vehicles that did not require an engine replacement, Mazda updated the PCM to provide more oil injection at idle and under low rpm driving.
[edit] Models
The RX-8 is available in various models in different markets around the world. Standard models include:
* 6-speed manual "High Power" with an output of between 170 kW (228 hp) and 177 kW (237 hp) and a 9000 rpm redline (Japanese models produce 184 kW (255 hp) due to the availability of higher octane fuel)
* 5-speed manual "Standard Power" tuned to 141 kW (189 hp) with the redline reduced to 7500 rpm. The 2006 models have been beefed up with close to 200bhp (The exact power needs to be clarified).
* 4-speed automatic tuned to 141 kW (189 hp) in some markets, while the U.S. automatic is claimed at 197 SAE net hp (158 kW)
* 6-speed automatic (available in the U.S. market as of 2006) developing 212 hp (170 kW) with a redline at 7500 rpm.

Help! Do I need a new engine?? '99 Jeep Wrangler w/ 30K.?
it has a wankel engine (sorry) which is rotary and so the capacity is decieving as it is the equivelant of a 1.8-2.0 normal engineit uses a wankel engine which is different to your usual combustion engines. so you end up with the same power as a regualr one. dont look at the engine size look at the performance figures. if memory serves is something like 200-250bhp for the top of the range one.
i used to think it was a nice car till i found out that every 6,000-10,000 miles you need to rebuild a main part of the engine. so it put me off. if you have the money then its probably worth it. it is a great handling and looking car
