Oil leak?
hey guys
first off, some peoplesay that all rotary oil pans leak oil
I beg to differ, having owned 3 rx8s (2 AT and 1 MT) non of them leaked oil at all
now to my FD, I havent been driving her for 3 days now and I came home today and looked under to see 2 puddles of oil. both of which seem to be coming from the motor pounts of the car. seeing as the position of the under-brace bar is right under the oil pan, I came t oa conclusion that the 2 oil puddles are both from the oil pan
is this normal with the FD? or should I re-seal the oil pan? get a re-inforcement brace ? something?

it is somewhat normal for the oild pan to leak. but by normal I mean it happens often it should be fixed when it happens though. I would start with a new oil pan gasket and see if that solves the problem.

Step 1 - Carb cleaner or Brake parts cleaner
Step 2 - Jack it up, Spray cleaner on the bottom to get rid of left-over crud
Step 3 - Start car, grab some eye protection and see if you can tell where the oil is coming from.

Just a heads up for the 3rd gen forum. This guy is a refuge from RX-8 club. The amount of stupid stuff he has done and dumb questions he has asked force me to alert you to the horrible incompetent person he is.

Not to mention that he claimed that he had to sell his last car because his parents cut him off from money, and that he couldn't afford to buy gas and eat. He also claimed to own a Civic in addition to his 8, and now apparently he owns an FD too!
AMAZING!
AMAZING!

^ thanks for giving out my resume's apparently I still own you ^^
annyhow, I grabbed some sealant and applied it around the pan and re-tighten the oil pan bolt just to be sure. she stopped leaking for now, might have to get that Banzai Tampon kit

You did REMOVE the pan right? You didn't just cake it onto the sides...did you? That's just not smart.

Constant threat
One has to wonder, seriously....if even half the people who SAY they have FDs really own them.
Over the years, there have been a lot of people that are simply posers, usually what trips them up is they can't keep track of the b.s. they are spreading.

"Its got a cool air intake. It's got a NOS fogger system and a T4 turbo.
A AIC controller. It has direct port nitrous injection. Yeah. And a stand-alone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend 10,000 dollars huh? Oh but I think my head gasket is going bad, something about danger to manifold?"
Riiiiiiggggggghhhtttttt

I love this Forum......I laughed until a tear came to my eye here after Renesisfury's comment! Great job Renesis, loved it. I'll agree - Oh, the dipshits that are out there.
Oh by the way - Here is the horn I going to put in my FDs now...

]Yea, I think I'm going to have to sell my car
as of right now, it has 15,300 miles on it
Sunlight silver, Mint blue body kit, Grand Touring Edition, 2005
Full suspension mods :
Stoptech BigBrake kit
Tokico Shocks
Swift springs
Agency Power swap bar
Full Mazsport type 1 Kit
and some other stuff like midpipe and exhaust, etc etc
now, alot of you know me on the forums, my car is running well at the moment, and I have fixed most of the issues that came up before so that it can run well
my reason for selling is actually retarded one: my parents cut me off.........so I can no longer afford to own a Mazda Rx-8, let alone a modified one, I need money for rent, I need money to eat, I need money to pay my phone bills etc etc
I cannot drive this car anymore
I will have to drive a crappy 1988 civic
this car will be paying for my tuition and my rent for at least a year, until I can save up some money to come back to my Rx-8 once more T.T
so please, no low ballers, I really need the money, I will tell you right now that I love my car more than anyone on Rx-8club, life sucks, and now it's got me.........
18,000$ firm
