    How to buya decent example of an RX8 for decent money:
    - buy crap RX8 with shot engine for nothing
    - spend a few thousand quid on engine rebuild, remap and bits
    - ...
    - PROFIT!!!
    And it's not even a sarcasm. Nice series, keep it up!

      I believe the rear section is not stock. Someone just cut off the tips that came on the exhaust system. It's a racing beat muffler back there or something. They pointed that out during the inspection of the undercarriage

      I'm not familiar with the term, but from context it's a type of porting (sounds like a cross between Street Port and Bridge Port - no bridge, but larger exhaust?)

      @@logicalChimp I feel like your explaining a half bridge.. I think its beyond a full bridge hence the term "RACE EXTENSION!!“ (heavy metal music plays)

      @@Dan_AYP Hmm _ I thought that he said it didn't have an actual bridge, but the primaries were extended (like a street port), and the exhaust was also heavily ported... but like I said before, I don't know and was just trying to infer from context :D

    My Grandad was on the engineering team for that original Rotary. I never got to know him, but seeing videos like this and how much people love the engines make me feel closer to him
