^what they said.

Some guy that was towing my car to the exhaust place while I was installing my single turbo said this to me though, so funny...

Guy: Are you sure its just not flooded cause these cars flood easily?
Me: No its not flooded, it just has no exhaust.
Guy: Oh cause I get alot of people that have RX7's and most of them are just flooded.
Me: Oh
Guy: Yea and never buy an RX8 either, they flood just as easily. They didn't even change the inside of that engine at all from your model. All they did was change the heads and stick it in a new car.
Me: (kinda chuckling, not wanting to destroy his self esteem) Oh well the rx8 is not turbo and these things are twin turbo and only made a little more horse power, so they had to change some stuff.
Guy: Yea it is in they heads and the camshafts

I just let him finish his job and get my damn car to the muffler shop. I laughed with my friend the whole way there.

No. He was just pointing out how much the person acted like they knew, but how little they really knew.

Here are some good websites to get you started.

Luckily the exhaust systems on these are the same, and how can they mess up bolting a flange together.
you should have asked him how much it would be to have the valves adjusted.

Years ago when I first got my FD I didn't know much about it either, but I knew that is a rotary and hand no pistond and so on, and was learning about it everyday.

I took my car for a tune-up to a family recomended mechanic and when I drove the car in, the master mech. asked me:
"is this a mazda?" and I said yes,
"how many cilynders this is ?" ..... ....not to make him look stupid I made up an excuse that I had to leave and I will be back next time.
I laughet at myself thinking how dumb I was for taking my car to a non-rotary mech. to begin with.
