Both stock, who would win.
RSX-s has a really bad clutch.
RSX-8 All working perfectly.
Rsx-s vs. RX-8

ease off on your clutch lol. I'm assuming the dc is your's. I'm saying rSx-8
Rx-8, even if the type-s was in perfect condition.
what does stock rx8 oush out. 200-230?
Well the race is tommorow, so we will see what happens.
And naw, ever since i got my dc, my clutch has been bad. I just dont see a reason to change it with my car being stock.
180ish whp with 1/4 mile in 14.7. A stock Type-S probably does it in 15.xx secs. Unless the RX8 driver shifts like a granny's granny, I don't see why it should lose.Originally Posted by Got Milk?

how does an s do 1/4 in 15 something? Me and my buddy went to commerce a while back and his stock ass LS teg ran a 15.6
with a good driver and clutch the rsx can run high 14's.
in this case the rx8.
good luck dude.
The RX8 if he's a good driver. My 626 would walk both
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
The do ok. If the RSX has exhaust and headers, he'll walk the RX8. However, if the RX8 driver can drive...well , it would be an interesting race.The RX8 if he's a good driver. My 626 would walk both
My volvo would destroy both
Turns, the RX8 would win. From a dig, I'd give it to the RSX only due to torque. Manual to manual, the RX8 would probably kill the RSX up top.
My car is factory....
Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
RX8 FTW.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
Also, rotaries only get faster with time. When they're new, they run low 15's. Give them about 40k and they run mid to upper 14's with a good driver. If you're running a 6 speed, you're gonna lose. You'll easily win if it's an automatic

Is that due to reduced friction on the apex seals with wear?
Absinthe makes the farts go Honda.
WTF told you that? I've never heard of sutch a thing. Once you hit 2-3k miles then your set.
Give me proof that what you said is true. If none is give, everything you say is void.
Oh yea, RX-8 would stomp the rsx, deff if there were turns...

K.I.S.S. Keep it short & simple
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
HAHAHA your dumb, Car and driver has no proof that the engine "broke in" to give them better 0-60 and 1/4th times. In that same pargraph they say that they upgraded to sticker tires, and there is never just one person driving a car when they test it. So you proof fails.
And how its made says nothing about the rpm's being 1/3rd of the thing or wut ever the hell you said. For ever 3 turns of the E-shaft, the rotor spins 1 time. Nothing about the rpm's being devided by 3 or w/e.
~TDR
Every other person I know of who has bought a naturally aspirated rotory powered car new has mentioned the same thing about them getting faster with time. C&D just so happened to mention that as well.
You, sir, could not be as dumb as this statement you just posted. How is it you make this statement yet you try to call me out saying I'm wrong? Let's do some math, shall we? If for every 3 turns of the e-shaft, that's only 33.3% of a full rotation of the rotor. Another turn swings the rotor an additional 33.3% to bring us a total of 66.6% rotation. The final 33.3 percent would mean that the rotor has done a complete 180 degree circle. So let's speed things up a bit. If the E shaft is spinning at 9000 rpm, 9000/ every 3 turns of the e-shaft in conjunction to the rotor= 3000 rpm of the actual rotor itself. Does that make any sense to you or do I still fail? Because the only one I see who has failed is yourself. Please do yourself a favor and put yourself back into school. You will surely benefit from it.And how its made says nothing about the rpm's being 1/3rd of the thing or wut ever the hell you said. For ever 3 turns of the E-shaft, the rotor spins 1 time.

K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
I'm gonna assume that the apex seals are finally breaking in. The rotors only spin a 1/3 of the eccentric shaft's speed. While the engine speeds reads 9k, the rotor is turning 3k.

What?
IA Rules doesn't allow these images in sigs

i belive a S will run a a mid-high 14,but moneys on the 8 if its a shinto 6speed
ive seen in person type s' run from 14.8-15.6 in stock form. so on the street they should run right with an rx-8. and to the guy that ran a 15.6 in a stock LS well damn he can drive, or either the LS was in a hatch
my words exactly. i have an ls stock (
My money would deff it be on the Rx-8.
rx-8
id have to take the rx8, but it should close. if the rx8 is an auto, then the type s
HF
hmm stock 05-06 rsx runs 14.9
it should be close. it'll probably come down to driver.
neither, the po-pos on memorial day weekend would =D
So what happened to the run?
they are still running from last night, they should be at about 45 mph by now
hahahahaha, +1 man lol
so who won? or did yall even race?
Thank you Jonathan, for confirming/backing me in on that wear part. 007, I can say that i mis read you post about the 1/3 thing. Im still not 100% sure what you were saying in the first post but i dont really car anymore. Bottom line is, that you dont know as much about rotarys as you think. Apex seals don't get better with time(as stated by jonathan) they slowly wear down. After the proper break in has been done, the performance slowly goes downhill... Till they pop.
~TDR
I know more than you think. I'm very aware of the apex seals. I know that the RX8 guys haven't had a single problem with them. I also know that you can't crank it up while cold to pull it back a couple of feet because you will flood them out and have to dry the plugs off it it don't crank (due to aggressive cold start fuel maps). Just as long as you avoid the 5w20 motor oil the engine will last. If you were to upgrade to the RX8's 2mm seals + rotors and do a little bit of port work, your FC will be in good business. I'm not as ignorant as you think I am to rotaries. I just don't work on them. I worked at the Mazda dealer long enough to know about the benefits of the Renesis engine. I've replaced a couple of oil pans due to the light coming on from hard cornering (it was a recall anyways). I'm not very hip on the 12A's and 13B's, but I know a little something about the renesis.
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
The Renesis is still a 13B with different mid and side plates but the housings still have "13B" stamped on them and leave the exhaust P-ports un-milled. I say the Rx-8 but I am biased. If there are turns I guarantee the Rx-8 assuming the Rsx-S driver isn't an amazing WAY above average driver and the Rx-8 driver knows a little bit about what he's doing.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
^^ Clutch is slipping in the RSX-S so it fails due to mechanical error. Well, he didn't have much of a chance from the begining.

okay 007 I see you know a lil bit, but read up a lil bit more from some more reliable sources. Bottom line, rx8 is cooler then the rsx
~TDR
kick his ass get that clutch fixed 2nd gear grind ftl
RIP RSX
Current-G35 (Stance)(SPC)(Borla)(Stillen)(Hotchkis)etc etc...
^^He still gonna lose.

o,well i oculd careless if the RSX-S was faster,id still rather have a 8,**** id rather have a 8 than a FD
rx8
