Ross, getting another renesis engine is dirt cheap so I wouldn't worry too much if you have knackered the rotors.

eogbaker can i ask how much that rebuild with the extras is costing.
If i havent damaged anything like the rotors or housings then it will cost me 1950 plus about 150 for the manifold if i go for the standard rebuild which doesnt replace all the bearings and doesnt have the strengthened side and corner seals then it will set me back 1550 plus manifold. Still undecided if i will go the extra on the rebuild or just stick with the standard build which still gives strengthened tips and all new seals just no bearings. This includes the street port on both builds

I want an rx8 more than ever now. Especially with how much you can pic them up for lately.

Well my mate got one that already had low compression for 800 so even after the rebuild its onky cost him 2k and for an 05 plate car with 250bhp rwd and handles like its on rails you can do any better in my opinion

That's actually a really good way of thinking about it. Just don't let this one go pop

Well i got the call today standard rebuild but i also need new bearings and shaft so all in with porting and manifold its setting me back £1940 which isnt the end of the world seeing as i get a year warranty with that. Get it back wednesday all being well :-)
