The Mazda RX-8 hit the market for the first time in the year 2003. The car falls under the category of sports car model, and happens to fantastic to be a model in the line-up Mazda.

The Mazda RX-8 is released as a predecessor to the Mazda RX-7 and the Mazda Cosmo model vehicle. The car was first shown in North American International Auto Show to be held in year 2001 and its sales began in model year 2004 the North American market.

Mazda launched its first rotary engine vehicle in the year 1971 in the United States of America. Production started from R100 series, later followed by RX-2 RX-3 RX-4, RX-5 and RX-7 sports car released in three different generations. The lack of comfort in vehicles RX-7, high prices and decreasing interest in sports vehicles at that time, led to collapse of the Mazda RX-7 in most markets except Japan. The RX-8 is designed based on the model of concept car Mazda RX-01 that was launched in the year 1995, which was featured in the 13B-MSP engine.

The RX-8 manufacturing projects gained the official approval from the government, and finally the RX-8 concept car and the engineering design model is done. It is then shown in the year 2001 and resembled the production version of the vehicle. Waiting for pending final approval for the production car, the RX-8 is shown again in Tokyo Motor Show the same year. The production of the first RX-8 began in the month of February, 2003 at Mazda's Hiroshima plant located in Japan. And this is exactly how the Mazda RX-8 slowly but surely, became such a big hit in the market.

North American International Auto Show in 2001 served as track and channel Mazda Motor Corporation to show and present the public with one of the vehicles that showed great potential and very available. This vehicle is the Mazda RX 8. During his presentation of that year, he made a 250 PS JIS Renesis engine that could produce some 247 units of horsepower at 8500 rpm. This engine won the International Engine of the Year Award and the Best New Engine award in 2003.

The Mazda RX 8 was available in two variants. These variants are the basis of 197-horsepower model that has maintained a system of automatic transmission and 238-horsepower with a standard six-speed manual transmission system. Of course there are differences between these two trim levels. The Mazda RX 8 with the automatic transmission system has standard features like air conditioning, sixteen-inch wheels, power windows, power locks and power mirrors. Depending on the level, with the manual transmission, this vehicle has the same characteristics on the other, however has added features such as a differential, a sport suspension and 18 inch wheels and tires.

Mazda has designed and built for Mazda RX 8 to be a vehicle that can be updated. And the company has ensured that there are packages available for those interested in the Mazda RX 8 Fix vehicles. A package is the package for Sport. This gives the vehicle extra xenon headlights, stability and traction control system, fog lamps, a differential, larger brakes, a retuned suspension, and eighteen-inch wheels and tires. It is also the tour package that has features such as the Sport Package, but adds several features as a sunroof, a Bose audio system, HomeLink system, automatic dimming mirrors. The final package is the Grand Touring package that is considered a combination of the two packages mentioned above. This package is considered first-line and additional equipment and features for the Mazda RX 8, a six way power adjustable driver's seat and heated leather upholstery, heated side mirrors, a navigation system and a six disc in-dash CD changer.

Truly enough, Mazda RX8 came out with better performance and appearance. Although it still uses standard Wankel rotary engine, the RX8 has an enhanced 16V Renesis engine. The earlier RX models use 13V, so the rotary engine displacing 1.3 liters of fuel that can yield 237 horsepower. But the RX8 model, the 16V Renesis engine is capable of producing 238hp and 1.6 liter displacement.

Another particular feature of the Mazda RX8 balance its weight from front to back. Weight of the car is almost evenly distributed in an almost even distribution before 50:50 at mid-section. The near perfect balance is attained due to the placing the engine behind the other front axle and the fuel tank in the middle, right before the rear axle.

The RX8's appearance is also quite unique. His door is almost like the suicide doors, just do not have B-pillars between front and back doors. Due to this, the other front overlap the rear doors and rear doors can be opened only once to the front door is open. Besides its unique appearance, the RX8 is great for four people. The front seat, more room is provided between the driver and the other front passenger, while the two rear passengers can comfortably serious.

The downside, the much-publicized Mazda RX8 seem not performed in accordance with expectations. The first ad by a 247hp ability of 6-speed manual transmission sports car raised some eyebrows. With its 1.6-liter engine, the 247hp power is rendered precarious. And it turned out that a number of owners RX8 is dismayed that the car does not make much power and speed as was published. Later, Mazda North America Office revised the output from 247hp to 238hp.

The soon-to-be-released 2008-2009 Mazda RX8 does not have many changes except that the chassis bracings increased to add restrictions and some other cosmetic changes whoch will make Mazda RX8 contract to hire a popular option. The 2008-2009 model will feature a two-rotor rotary engine to deliver better driving performance. The engine is smaller and lighter so promises the same speed, while providing more convenience.

The Mazda RX-7 falls under the category of sports cars, and the vehicle was first built in the plant Hiroshima, Japan. The Mazda RX-7 was released as a predecessor to the Mazda RX-3 and substitute the Mazda RX-8 model that released in the year 2003.

It was created as a successor to the Mazda RX-3 and the same model vehicle is sold in Japan as savanna. The vehicle then replaced all the cars from other Mazda rotary vehicles except Cosmo.
Mazda launched its first rotary engine vehicle in the year 1971, the United States of America.

Production of the Mazda RX-cars started the R100 series, later followed by RX-2 RX-3 RX-4, RX-5 and RX-7 sports car. The Mazda RX-7 is released in three different generations, features noticeable changes over the generations.

Some of the racing RX-7 was released in year 1979 and it entered the 24 hour Le Mans prestigious endurance race, but failed by only a second to qualify to race. In year 1983, the car won the prestigious 24 hour race at Le Mans Mazda RX-7 was the only car to win 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race as prestigious dates.

The revived Mazda RX-7 will soon be unveiled as each rumored Mazda RX-7 wallpapers and high-flying images that surfaced up in recent times. Although, it was officially announced by Mazda, these RX-7 car pictures tell it all. Thus, it is indeed some good news for Mazda RX-7 fans.

The revitalised Mazda RX-8 sports car range will finally arrive in Australia this month, Mazda dealer in Sydney, EurocarsMazda, in Artarmon, taking delivery of the satisfaction model in mid July.

The new look RX-8 features a range of mechanical upgrades designed to enhance his iconic status as the world's only rotary-powered, four-door sports car.

Three new models of RX-8 - a luxury model, gt and conventional models. The gt is a new version of the RX-8 and the luxury and conventional versions will upgrade the existing RX-8.

"The team Eurocars Mazda is excited about the new RX-8, and the luxury model is ready to test drive our Artarmon showroom in the middle of July," said Eurocars Mazda Dealer Principal, Tim Garner.

"Anyone interested in a test drive can make a reservation online or call us on 8905 5555."

The Mazda RX-8 performance and handling were improved by specially tuned sports suspension, with light-weight 19-inch wheels and a wide range of changes to its unique RENESIS rotary engine, which which is still revving at 9,000 RPM. The original Mazda RX-8 has won more than 50 Automotive awards including 2003 International Engine of the Year and 2003 Car of the Year wheels in Australia.

If you own a Mazda RX8 sports car, then you better go and read it. You see, your vehicle may be one of those Mazda RX8 units that the Mazda Motor Corporation is recalling.

The plan of recalling the sports car from the company has already leaked to the auto industry. And according to the company, all these moves were due to the fact that they found out some defects in the vehicles' rotary engine. And only in case you did not know, the Mazda RX8 is much known for his mechanical engine parts. Add the best type of Mazda accessories, and you get an exemplary vehicle all in all. Except for engine problems, of course.

Anyhow, this is the main reason why the company decided on recalling the mentioned model vehicles. But if you own Mazda RX8 vehicles that were made before the year 2003, then no need worry only for Mazda RX8 units made in 2004 and 2005 are included. There are also some Mazda RX8 units created in 2006 to be included in the recall.

According to the company, the vehicle portion of the recall is undergoing engine checks. And whether the companies whose vehicles' engine will not pass a specific vacuum test, the engine unit is replaced. Owner does not need to shell out any funds. The company is making no charge.

The recall was brought about after the company found out that some Mazda RX8 vehicles had engines leaking oil. And the process, the oil that leaked out is damaging the vehicle's catalytic Converters. Additionally, there are already reports of technical problems mentioned sports car.

The Mazda RX8 is a sports car that first appeared back in the year 2001 when it debuted in North American International Auto Show. Has occurred in areas of Mazda RX 7 and is also powered by the Wankel rotary engine. But the production of this sports car actually started only in year 2003.

Since its launch, the Mazda RX8 was the subject of consideration by the fans. The high level of attention not only because of the beautiful car, but the driving dynamics, in part, to early reports less than expected performance. To be precise: the wheel of the power measured several test runs resulted in values well below the expected 17% ~ 20% loss of transmission of the parasite. And quarter-mile run between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds for those affected by the magazine on the "pre-production vehicles.

Under the authority of the RX8 equipment marketing for Mazda North America (MNAO) announced on 6 speed manual RX8 to 247hp @ 8500 rpm. Assuming that the parasitic power loss between 17% -20% for the common modern back, a stock RX8 should be between 205 ~ 197 HP to the rear wheels (rwhp)-depending on altitude, barometric pressure, temperature and correction factors applied. Instead, a stock chassis RX8 Dyno results show that will run from mid-height of ~ 160 to ~ 185rwhp. These readings are parasitic transmission loses over 25%. That it is unacceptable for this level of loss by sending a "sports car" with a shaft of carbon fiber, among others, is an understatement.

To further doubts about the true power of the new Renesis many homeowners were unable to reproduce mid-low 14 second quarter mile pass as well-known magazine published by the American car. Low speed trap is an allusion to the apparent lack of power.

Shortly after several discussions on online forums and enthusiasts forums in the heating of arguments about what was causing the poor performance in a straight line. "Many former Miata owners to recall a previous" Snafu "in the history of Mazda, the manufacturer who certainly exaggerated the power of the number of new Mazda Miata.

After a few months, MNAO came forward and explained that he had falsified the Renesis power. The revised figure is now 238hp @ 8500 rpm, but in terms of MNAO This revision does not affect the performance of previous results.

Speculation on the reasons for the sudden absence of power are numerous. However, there are currently two schools of thought:

* The first supports the idea that the RX-8 of the unit of the engine management (ECU), in collaboration with the many "Nanny" devices, such as ABS and TCS can not have the correct reading of a dynamometer. For simplicity, when the car driven on a chassis Dyno, the wheels are in motion. The RX-8, the ECU detects a misbehavior of the situation and the delays in planning and implementing other security measures is to preserve the "pilot" or "engine" of award or two (read sheet situation, or a car leaves the road.)
* The second believes that MNAO was forced to reorganize the software that manages the engine management, even before the first batch of the RX-8 has reached the coast of the United States due to regulations on emissions of Canada. I read one in particular, which indicates that the catalyst life of about 100,000 miles. The number one enemy of catalytic converters on vehicles in the heat (and heat is the number one attribute of the rotation of the engine exhaust.)

MNAO two options available for those who pre-ordered an RX-8, or bought at the end of September 2003:

* They buy the vehicle, no questions asked.
* They are free for the warranty period, more than $ 500 "gift card" for those who have opted for the car.

I was among those who have opted for their RX-8. Indeed, the driving experience has not changed since the test drive the vehicle before purchasing. Since August 2003, I pointed over 20,000 miles 1/18/2005- I have just one ounce of regret about my decision. If you want to know more about the owners of the opinion, this thread@RX8Club.com

There were a number of ECU "updates" released during the past 2 years. As far as I know, all samples de'04 RX-8 has come from "J" engine management software. Since then we have all of the alphabet "M" which was published on a campaign TSB by Mazda North America (MSP04) all vehicles @ flashed on Authorized Dealers "M" for calibration.

Most people know that Mazda sports cars built. But for lovers of conduct, the company's history of building sport coupes with lightweight rotary engine that distinguishes it from competition. The Mazda RX-8 is the last of these cuts, and is the only one with a configuration of four doors.

The heart of the Mazda RX-8 is its high-revving, 1.3-liter rotary engine called Renesis. It is a word invented: the "R" and "e" stand for "rotary engine", while "NESIS" comes from the word "genesis." Odd name aside, the Renesis engine is a bit of genius: unlike its predecessors, it locates the exhaust ports on the side of each of the combustion chambers rather than the outer edge of the rotating housing. Sounds simple, but it allows a change of more power, more fuel economy and lower emissions.

Because of the compactness of the engine, the engineers managed to climb further in the RX-8 chassis, giving the car coveted 50/50 front / rear weight distribution. This is balanced with the suspension tuning, steering and strong svelte 3,000-pound curb weight in the rear-wheel-drive RX-8 one of the best handling cars on the market. However, the power of the car is a bit lacking, new competitors offer much more oomph.

Current Mazda RX-8

The Mazda RX-8 is a four-seat coupe with a pair of rear hinged "suicide" doors that facilitate access to rear seats. Each RX-8 is powered by a 1.3 liter twin-rotary engine with a production based on the transmission. The six-speed manual version produces 232 horsepower at 9000 rpm the stratosphere, and is able to operate in a 0-60 of 6 seconds. The six-speed automatic is 212 hp and a redline of 7500 rpm. All RX-8 is rather meager 152 lb-ft of torque, which means that you must keep the rotary engine of the boil to keep the car alive. Therefore, we suggest that buying a RX-8 with the manual.

There are four available trim levels: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring and R3. Even the base car is equipped with 18-inch wheels, performance tires, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and six-speaker stereo with CD player and auxiliary audio jack. Articles available on the Touring and Grand Touring include a limited-slip rear differential, automatic xenon headlights, driver seat power, memory functions, heated seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, keyless ignition entry, surround sound audio, Bluetooth and navigation system. The R3 is an alternative high-performance 19-inch wheel package, an aggressive suspension, Recaro sport seats, exterior body modifications and other toppings "high-tech convenience.

While the Mazda RX-8 has the appearance of a race car adapted sport, its behavior on the road is much more docile. Taken by its wide corners and comments by solid drive into an absolute riot on a winding road, but the average commuting time line not to beat you on a daily basis. The rotary engine of the engine requires a high level to make serious power, but the supply is virtually free of vibration and noise levels are submitted. If you want a good engine (print, sound and delivery), there is no smooth.

Inside, the RX-8 innovation of two and a half-back suicide doors provide the kind of practice any other sport coupe can match. To the extent that they are shorter than 6 feet tall, those seated in the rear seats and is supporting a major role. Overall, the RX-8 is one of the best examples of a car that is both fun to drive and very livable on a daily basis. Just be prepared to pay at the pump, the high-revving rotary fuel swill as an SUV.

Used Mazda RX-8 models

Introduced in 2004, the Mazda RX-8 has announced the return of the rotary-powered sports car in the United States, after a decade-long hiatus near. Until 2008, it had a slightly different design of this car, while features were added gradually over the years.

Initially, the RX-8 is the automatic transmission four-speed unit. We avoid this car for the six-speed automatic with paddle shifters available for 2006 and later (although we always recommend the manual first). The Shinka Package (Japanese for "change") was offered pour'06 and included an aggressive suspension, unique 18-inch wheels, leather / faux suede seats and some other subtleties of luxury. The following year, this package has been replaced by the 40th Anniversary Special Edition, which offers a gray exterior, red leather seats, various 18-inch alloy wheels, a firmer suspension and the requirement of badges. De'08 model year also saw the navigation system restricted to the Grand Touring model.

The biggest change came in 2009. The exterior was given a more aggressive grille with a wider and more subtle changes. The interior has also gave a few minor adjustments here and there. Most of the time, the expanded list at this time. Not more than 16 inches were mounted on the wheels of the car base - there were 18 across the board of directors - and things like Bluetooth and an auxiliary audio jack has been added to the list of options. A clear improvement of the navigation system touch screen replaced the old pop-up unit controlled by console-mounted buttons. It is also the first year for the Mazda RX-8 R3.

I was forced to start considering the possible replacement of the solution of Bridgestone Potenza RE040 (225/45/18) slightly after reaching 25,000 miles of them. I have been very difficult, because of economic reasons, to find the cheapest possible tires, which offer a lifetime or more (higher is better), and the effectiveness of the dry weight of the surfaces, and wet. I eliminated a few candidates before settling time that the Sumitomo HTRs, namely:

* Fuzion ZRi: Funky SEARCH tread. In other words, all show-no-go.
* Yokohama AVS ES100: Pretty decent reviews overall, but ... the devil! endless budget!
* Dunlop SP Sport FM901: Information on these feelings, and some others will make the taste of Fuzion 'philosophy. "
* Nitto NT555: These tires received good reviews for the entire quarter-mile on the crowd, which does not quite say much about the ability to turn the wheels ... out.
* Sumitomo HTR Z II: Out of stock!

Thus, after a brief conversation with a TireRack sales guy, he recommended the Sumitomo HTR +. I was reluctant to select a tire for all seasons. I said to myself: 'All Seasons is 8? No way! But gradually I realized that I did not have much choice for the price range I shopping in And I ended up shelling my credit card to buy a set of 4 Sumitomo HTR + in 245/40/18. The device, after all, something close
1% more than the stock Potenza. In other words, there is no big deal.

First impressions

I installed the tires and the suspension is reviewed and adjusted at Christensen Tire here in Richardson. All in all, the whole installation took several hours. I immediately jumped into the car and left. The first thing I noticed was the engine and the exhaust gas, I note the ongoing stock Mazda RX8. And I could really appreciate the engine reving up and down the noise of tires. I'll take this question: What is the sound the tires? Therefore, the first impression was nice.

However, happiness only lasts for a corner. The first time I had to turn, I noticed a huge mushiness (SP) direction. I will pray, I found that the tire pressure very low, which gives the impression that soft. Well, tire pressure, it does not, I checked the 4 cornerns and all 4 were pinned @ 39psi. The tires were too over the recommended pressure. The head is of course a very sweet and great sides. It is a super position on the photo-and Potenza Sumitomos below. You can see that both tires are the "total" height when mounted, but Potenza was slightly rounded sidewall, and a lot better lip cancer to protect the wheels. On the other hand, has the right to Sumitomos (SP) sidewall, which apparently he steals stifness.

I am going to try to rotate the tires every 5000 miles. The reason is, the last cycle Potenza, tires, who has spent the last 7500 miles the rear were badly worn out (but evenly worn). And I would like to keep Sumitomos is the best shape possible.

It had a lot of hype this week surrounding the new Star Trek film, Star Trek crazily right. Positive comments were filled at the root of this film spoke an hour, if not the best movie franchise. Regardless of whether I am watching the various television series and films has always been a factor that always makes me very happy - and go to hyper-space. You know the song where the master is a Starship Enterprise is in trouble and all by pressing the button, which sends it to hide the stars blink for at least an incredible speed. I always wanted to once again, that feeling, starting with Lego as a child, but now my best way is to a Mazda RX8.

Japan May Cut yep not the obvious choice is to go landscapes blurred when the foot is right, but you should be pleasantly surprised. When a retiree of the Mazda RX7, there was a time when many car manufacturers have the experience of the rotary engine technology, and taking account of the soul. When the engine is considered as the future, cars rev tournantes permit to heights never thought possible. It also means that a small 1.3-liter engine to produce more than 200bhp.


The disadvantage is that, despite the low capacity, rotary engines, drank more than George Best, are not environmentally friendly, and the worst of all, is not very reliable. Yet where others do not, Mazda has made a successful rotary engine housing, in RX7, which so far is a Japanese icon. When the Ford, Mazda has decided that they can develop the rotary engine further improves the reliability, reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. In other words, to redress the wrongs of its predecessor.


Although the rotary engine can be improved, it is basically a sports car engine. That is why Mazda man to collect his pension would be revving Mazda sedan 9000 rpm there was no alternative. What is needed Mazda car, which would be a bona fide sports car and the seat of a family at the same time an elegant package. Despite this, oxymoron, Mazda about achieving the objective of the RX8.


To view the RX8 is a pure sports car. Drive the car is a pure sports car. Once you turn the head 180 degrees, and shows two children SEARCH radiating back to you. So what Mazda has managed to pass the car that connects the engine design, no one can understand the family and a combination of sports car, which seems impossible?
We start with the style of products. The car is perfectly proportioned with a long curved hood aggressive front and rear chubby bliss. There are many sports cars to expand the boot to fit golf clubs and a pleasure to follow the lines. It is a relief that Mazda has not fallen to this trap, even if it means that the practice is not very strong. A huge 18-inch wheels adorn the car and the competence to fill the bulging wheel arches. Axial fluid flow and decisively to make a back-end much higher than before, allowing residents back in the height of luxury.


And if the rear seats. Each cup, which states that the rear seats, you need to be in the size and continued hamster, or have the flexibility to mount a cat in the past, rear passenger seat. The RX8 skillfully to solve this problem the first decent place with businesses and, secondly, that ingeniously overcome problems of access.
The simplest answer would probably add another door? Well ... it is basically what Mazda has done, but they have managed to maintain the appearance of two-door coupe. By adding a "suicide doors" that open the eye to them (and half the size) you can recover easily. Problem solved.


Thus, the engine, and why it is like Star Trek. Two derivatives of rotation, producing 192 and 231bhp respectively. It is 231, we can go a wobbly legs. Top speed is 150 mph, but to ignore it. We are also not sure what the RX8 manual covers 0-60 mph dash 6 seconds. The reality is that it seems much faster. With tools provided at the front of the bridge is a spaceship and leather seats of course you have on the holding RX8 is a fast 7000 rpm and then everything really go to hyper-space wave, even 9000 rpm.


I've never been that familiar with another car that I drive fast, and it pays to buy the Mazda RX8 feel alone. By the addition of three passengers, style, and a reliable engine, and you've taken the winner ... such as fuel economy.

Truly enough, Mazda RX8 has a better performance and appearance. Although it still uses the standard Wankel rotary engine, RX8 has been improved with 16V Renesis engine. The earlier the RX models 13V rotary engines are able to displace 1.3 liters of fuel, which could lead to 237 horsepower. But in the 16V model RX8 Renesis engine is able to produce 1.6 liter of displacement 238hp.

Another feature is the Mazda RX8 is balanced its weight behind the front. Because the weight is almost evenly distributed around 50:50 and distribution before the mid-section. This almost perfect balance has been achieved due to place the engine behind the front axle and the fuel tank is at the center, just above the rear axle.

The RX8 is also unique. Its doors are almost identical to the suicide doors, just that it has no B-pillar between the front and rear doors. Accordingly, the face over the rear door and rear doors can be opened only after the doors are open. In addition to a separate appearance, the RX8 is also an area of four. On the front seat, he is given more space between the driver and front passenger, when two passengers in the rear can be comfortably seated.

Its disadvantage, lots of advertising for Mazda RX8 seems to have performed according to expectations. The original declaration was passed 247hp manual 6-speed sports car has raised some eyebrows. Its engine 1.6-liter power is 247hp rendered moot. And it became clear that a number of RX8 owners were dismayed that the car is not the power and speed of publication. Later, Mazda North American Bureau examined the production of 247hp and 238hp.

Soon-to-be-released 2008-2009 Mazda RX8 is not so much change, except that the platform bracings increased to add a little stiffness and other cosmetic changes to whoch Mazda RX8 agreement to rent a place. The 2008-2009 model is also a rotor rotary engine produced a best performance of Conduct. This engine is smaller and lighter so that the promise at the same speed, while the more comfort.
