Hello, i'm new to these forums, just bought myself an 04 rx8 with the 6 speed, and hope to make the most i can of these forums!
The beast has 80xxx miles on it, and "supposedly" has a brand new crate motor dropped in it just this past winter. Unfortunately, i only got to drive it for about an hour before a ginormous cloud of white smoke appeared in the rear view mirror (honestly, i bet the neighbors house still smells like gas), and a misfire code popped up. ran through the usual steps, lots of gas getting to the engine, good spark, so i broke out the compression tester, and found the #1 rotor only has compression on 1 face, and the #2 rotor has no compression at all.
I'm not sure if the engine is just old, or if the new engine was just a bad rebuild, but i am finding out the hard way that these cars aren't very cheap! haha
Anyways, i just thought i'd introduce myself, as i plan to be digging through these here forums, and i'm sure i'll have some questions that someone can, or already has answered!
