Yes they will.

Why not they are high compression and the lightest rotors ever made. There are rx8's making great power on stock rotors.

Prob the best route. High rpm gets very involved to build a motor that will last.
If you need s5 rotors let me know.

Isn't the machining on the rx8 rotors make then a hassle to use? I mean milling the apex seal grove deeper for the taller seals?

Not really. You can run RA rx8 seals and prob never worry about them breaking but why change something that worked for so long on wankles and then make the seal depth half the depth. Id rather mill them deeper and run wankle seals so I know there is no chance of failure.

Sorry. Wrong icon. Meant

I love it here. I have a Thai wife and a beautiful two month old girl. Money is tight but life is good.
I do however really miss my car and autocross.

Oh well. My family is more important. We will be in the States eventually and my car is still there waiting for me.

Here is a car I saw while grocery shopping a few days ago. It is a $40,000 car here. Yikes!

It's good to hear you got a new set up. Sounds like a super sweet deal for a pineapple built motor. I'm jealous a little
