$2,500 worth of a bad idea

Look everyone, a $2500 RX8 that only needs JUST a battery. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm trying to save money, but man this would be a fun mess.

Oh, we're calling bad apex seals "batteries" now, are we? Noted.

@flatisflat it’s just compression and oil and starting and running issues. Hmmm easier to say battery story checks out.

@mm54 hahaha. From what I’ve seen yes. With a fresh engine rebuild an RX-8 is a pretty fun car for another 30-60,000 km. And then time to yank the block for more fun / reliability.

I very much enjoy my rx7 but they really screwed up the Renesis in the 8 to get it emissions compliant.

I still wish there was an easy way to swap a 2.3/2.5 MZR or duratec into one of these. I know it defeats the RX part of the car but I suspect it’s still be a hoot.

@neil-in-nomi I'd love to do a boosted KLDE in one, just for the sound alone.
