New RX-8 Owner in San Diego/Compression question

mercredi 21 septembre 2016

Hey All,

I just purchased the white 09 GT from SunnyD8 that was in the for sale section. I am super stoked to have a Rotary again. I had a 91 RX-7 in high school and later an 81 that I raced/beat on.

That you for all the great info on the site, I am reading until my eyes cross. Looking through the records for the car, everything seems to be up to date as far as fluids, coils, spark plugs etc. Oil was changed every 5k but usually less.

My only concern is looking at the compression test that was done this month (I should have looked a little closer before buying but I still would have bought the car).

Rotor 1 was an even 7 kgf/cm2 at 240 rpms
Rotor 2 was an even 7.2 kff/cm2 at 250 rpms

According to the chart in another thread its starting to get in to the so so area. As far as I can tell the car runs well, starts well cold etc. The core warranty according to the purchase contract date is up 25 October this year.

Should i be concerned? I was planning on running a premix just as an extra precaution. I do happen to work at a Mazda dealer so when I get in today I am going to talk the guys in service just to see what they say.

Brad
