How many kilometers can you travel with your RX-8 before needing to refuel or when the low fuel light turns on?

where is this at ?

Do you have any idea on how they mounted it?

The best way to check if u blew a coolant seal is another compression test. You recently did one, so if you see like a 5-10 psi drop in compression numbers, there's your culprit. Given the mileage of the engine though, I kinda doubt it. If you say temps dropped again after the hose fix, then that's good. Did you visually check to see if your fans turn on at 206F? That's the first fan speed kick. Check it when you're home, let the car idle, pop open the hood, and when your gauge reaches 206, look at the fans and see if they're spinning. P.S. I tried reaching out back in June, was very close by with work, could have taken an overall look at your 8 and answered questions in person, but never got a reply from you :( I will be in NY with my RX8 at the end of this month, but all the way up north past Albany. Recently did a track day (video on my channel), and now doing a roadtrip from Chicago. Would be cool to meet up one day.

I'm actually obsessed with this car its like this or the Nissan 350z for me lol love the look you've went for you should get your windows tinted to match the colour of the rear wing, I've also seen people remove the badges on the boot and I think that looks really nice as well and its something you can do yourself with just an adhesive remover and cloth lol another cool one would be an indictor swap they are pretty cheap to get and not to hard to do iirc getting some black LED ones to replace the orange can really match the look your going for as well

Didnt know Tenz was a car guy thats cool

You said the “ studies show that pre-mixing will make your engine last longer” Can someone show me these studies and the data

like checking your oil level every time you fuel up. Proper heating is needed as you have iron and aluminum pressed together and expand at different temperatures. Premixing is not necessary on a properly functioning rotary. You are more likely to clog your injectors premixing when you don't need too. 88 Fc with 120k was riding strong with no premix but I ran regular sea-foam in the tank to keep the carbon down. When I bought the car the injectors were clogged from premixing and the car wouldn't idle. 12 MPG!!! WTF I had a 30 year old Rx7 and got 18 at least. Oh Leaking fuel line almost killed me and affected my gas mileage. Fixed one leak, and 3 more sprung up after increased gas pressure. Definitely worth the love and shell send ya zooming. I think you will find working on an FC a lot easier as the engine is not so far tucked under the dash and the electronics are a lot simpler.

Your content reminds me a lot of TsuchiFD lowkey.

6:28 that's just the overflow tank puking coolant out the little hose because coolant level was overfilled, or car got too hot for the level of coolant that was in the overflow; if you're overheating like that, I am inclined to think your fans might not be working correctly? could be the fan relay? idk... if you're losing pressure like you say you are, it could be as simple as the overflow bottle or the bottle cap being your culprit. Like, mine never gets that hot even on hot humid days, it will reach like 208, MAYBE, MAYBE it will reach 212 but that because I'm standing still in traffic... on the highway on a hot day, it will not see more than 200F... The oil in the intake is your car having an oil burp; it can be due to many factors, the simples is you overfilled the oil; rule of thumb, fill it to just below the full line when engine is cold. Investing in a catch can is definitely something you should do. A massive oil burp can cost you a new MAF sensor. Running thicker oil helps a bit with the burps, but it can also be your EVAP solenoid going bad; for your mileage, I doubt it, not something you can rule out completely. I recently replaced mine.

have you been on storm king yet? it just reopened

very cool 👍

Ok so definitely get a remote starter for extra time to get the engine warm.Rev it nicely a day.Get an oil cooler and that oil premix mod(I forgot the name it’s like an extra oil reservoir)

It's always funny seeing that Altima there lol

Can we get an update on owning a RX8 or getting one as a first car that you posted a year ago?

Dude I love your RX8 content, what front end do you run on yours? love how it looks!

Hey I’m local to this park, i know every road bump and turn. Feel free to hit me up i can show you around. 8:21

You look like you’re overheating and it’s leaking out the overflow tube. OR ITS TIME TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC OVERFLOW TANK. I got a bennettbuilt aluminum one but I haven’t done it ywr

Go get a versatune and turn the fan on earlier. Get a aftermarket oil cooler thermostat.

I have mazda for 2 days and crashed my back after 500 km trip

Favorite RX-8 creator 😣🙏

Missed you Jerry! The subs are looking good <3

I went mishimoto dual fans and electric water pump in my fb

The coolant spots are from your coolant overflow tank. It’s either overflowing or the nipple on the radiator is cracked.

7000 bucks????? Whoa.

One thing you learn working on cars, "short cuts" end up taking longer and being cheap is almost always more expensive in the end🙃 #BuyOnceCryOnce

Biggest issue is RPM, the water pump (S1 especially) cavitates at higher RPM and its basically impossible to keep temps down if it's 90°+ and you're pushing it. Solution is an undedrive Pulley or REmedy pump....or both. A proper functioning cooling system should be able to keep temps under 200° while cruising. Did a 500 mile road trip in FL/GA and cruise temps were 183-187° (series 2 with koyo rad). If you have silicone radiator hoses, ditch those. They weep coolant over time. Oil in the intake is the crappy S1 PCV system routing. Get a catch can, and don't over fill the oil and you should be fine.

Welcome🎉 back , cant wait to finish my fb to see if we link up for some touge rides

dang that's one expensive cat

Seen your dragon content. Motivated me to take my own trip to the dragon next month. I'm from CT if you ever interested in doing so togue runs, I'm down.

The dragon content was sick dude, glad to see u back. I heard the oil issues is caused by overfilling the oil or filling it too quickly. fairly common thing, not too big of an issue it seems. leaking coolant is always a scary thing with rx8s but as long as u don't see that white smoke coming out the back id say your good 😂 in the meantime You can get a reliability tune at some shops to help with the temperature by turning on the fans earlier, they can also increase omp function, idle speed and a few other things.

Factory fans come on a 97 degrees Celsius which is way to high. With versatune or mazda edit you can adjust this or you can bypass your fan controls to a switch. My rx8 never even hits 90 degrees Celsius after a thrashing.

Hey man! I’m buying an rx8 very soon and was wondering where you got your SOHN adapter kit as it will be one of my first mods. Having trouble finding one. Would appreciate the help!

I bought my RX-8 in 2004, drove it to 80,000 miles, after 10 years. I never had any major issues! I warmed the car up for 5 minutes every time I drove the car.

Haven't seen an upload in several weeks. Everything good?

God that NYC traffic looks so horrible. I hate traffic like that. Houston is not that crazy but the traffic can be pretty bad depending one the time and where your at

I know this is 8 months old video, but you seem so excited and genuinely happy about your car and that in itself made me happy. Even when things seem kind of bad in life, the lows and highs, you and your car and your journey in life means a lot. When you share yourself it's a pure and good thing.

Can we see an MPG test

I’ve heard a sohn adaptor is something that helps the rotary cuz it adds premix instead of needing to premix

I had a s1 for a few years. The only things that went bad were ignition coils and o2 sensor

Owned RX8 since 2009. Never had any issues and never had to do anything special to it. Oil change and normal maintenance. Never did a premix and get good gas mileage.

Bro, Takumi did it for aerodynamics cause pop-up headlights, but u did it just to 1UP him, u mad lad 😂😂😂 Jk jk... Glad u enjoyed the trip. I tried reaching out via Insta to get in touch a few weeks ago, but u were probably busy with the trip/editing. I plan on driving to upstate NY from Chicago for work with the RX8, would love to meet up maybe at some point.

Glad you kept your instincts at bay and made it out safely. I was on the Tail myself twice, first with RX8 (only got one run in and a slow one too), second time with the 500 Abarth. Was a little more balsy with the Fiat, but brakes started to fade 2/3 of the way up, so had to slow down. On the way back, I had to take it slow, started feeling nauseous as the driver 😂 Modern cars are nice, I absolutely love my Veloster N. It rotates better than my RX8, but I need wider tires on the 8

2 things for this video 1. Pro tip, when you go somewhere in the great outdoors away from cities, I always download a local map for Google Maps with the square area I will be in. That way I can look up places and have directions 2. Maybe you just need a coolant flush, however, did you specify any numbers for coolant temps that had you worried? Were you close to 100°C? Or 212°F? If you don't want to tune to bring the fans on sooner, I saw people get some spacers for the hood hinges to lift the hood at the back 1/4 to 1/2 inch to let the air escape easier. I personally have an AEM CAI and relocated my battery to trunk, so my radiator is wide open now. I have the Seibon CF vented hood, but was a bit disappointed with its quality. Fitment wasn't the best, and it's heavier than the factory hood, cause it has fiberglass reinforcent to be able to mount hinges and the hood latch 😢

7:19 why did you turn off the A/C just cause it was hot outside? That actually helps the car cool off too, the moment you turn on the A/C, the ECU logic turns on the radiator fans on low speed and runs them constantly 🤔
