The first Tuner RX-8 I've seen...

[992mmx3]

Oh, i totally believe you man. It just sucks here, didn't really even matter what size engine mine was, still paying $260 a month with 2 tickets on my record, not even big tickets.

i know theres an insurance agent on here. maybe they'll come and clear up the 2 door vs 4 door insurance costs. i for one think it makes a big difference. oh yah and where do u find a maxima and sentra with the same engine?

you know...if we all traded our MX-3 in for one car....we could get it free...All we have to do is set up a time share...anyone interested?

<p>Well, if you want to compare to piston engine.. You must know that a 2 rotors engine is the equivalent of a v6 engine, and 1.3l, is around 3.9l v6 engine..<p>I had the reason why it was consider a v6, well a mathematical formula.. But all in all, the rotor are triangle, 3 sides to compress, burn, and do the exhaust, and a piston can only do that one at a time.. ( that's not what the mathematical formula tell, but it give an idea ). If you search the Wenkel engine, you'll find the formula soon..<hr></blockquote><p>
Wow. I've heard the arguement that it's rated at half it's effective displacement, but not 1/3. At any rate, that's incorrect. If you really care why Mazda's engineers actually CAN calculate displacement, check www.rx7forums.com .

As I didn't have the correct Mathematical formula.. Let me some time, I'll find it, and post. But about the rotor, for the cylinder comparason, I know the formula go something like "number of rotor * 2 * 3/2 = Cylinders comparaison" ..<p>Might it be the displacement is "Displacement * 3/2" ... Dah.. I don't want to tell more without back-up..

Ok, I can't get my hand on the formula..<p>For that time being, I'll retire my word on the rotary engine. I can't prove what I say..<p>Oh well..<p>But, on another topic.. Still wish to get one of those one day! Rx-8
