Shenanigans:
the renesis rotary engine is more reliable, and additionally it is only available na; so that takes away the majority of problem components from the fd. now the tranny, on the other hand, is the dodgy part of the rx-8. its just a slightly beefed up miata six speed, so it is typically the first thing to display problems if you do anything serious to the car.

--- Quote ---RENESIS - Mazda's next-generation rotary engine
The RENESIS engine powering the Mazda RX-8, which stands for “the rotary engine's GENESIS”, was carefully prepared for series production as the power plant for the RX-8.
RENESIS - an engine replete with innovative technologies such as side intake/side exhaust porting - is a 654 cc x two rotor unit that generates for the:
Manual transmission engine specification 250 ps maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 22.0 kg-m maximum torque at 5500 rpm
Automatic transmission engine specification 210 ps maximum power at 7,200 rpm and 22.6 kg-m maximum torque at 5000 rpm.
RENESIS also shows substantial improvement over the engine installed in the previous RX-7 in terms of fuel-efficiency and emissions.
By capitalizing on the intrinsic benefits of the RENESIS rotary engine - namely, low weight, compact size and high performance - Mazda succeeded in developing the RX-8, a wholly new concept four-door four-seater genuine sports car.

The design and development of RENESIS has evolved and employed many new and innovative technologies outlined below:
For higher output, designers used:
- synthetic intake system for variable valves
- variable fresh air duct (FAD)
- straight exhaust system layout.
For improved engine response, designers used:
- Lightweight rotor with three injectors per rotor
- long-span engine mount.
For low vibration and distinctive RE sound, designers used:
- dynamically balanced rotors
- counter-rotating fixed gear and tuning of the intake sound.
For fuel economy, designers used:
- newly designed seals
- jet air-fuel mixing system
- micro-electrode spark plugs.
For compact size and lighter weight, designers used:
- thinner engine ribs
- wet sump lubrication system
- plastic intake manifold.

Well I'm not a "Mazda Guy" I assumed it was, but the RX-8 is a lot different from previous generations of the RX. I wanted to be sure and seeing as I've to check one out close up I thought I'd ask. I'm impressed by the potential of the rotary engine but with reliability issues it's still kind of weak.
