You have no idea what you are talking about - they were retarded.

I have had multiple rotaries over 200K, and I have never run premix - even in track cars. I've had multiple of all 3 gens over the course of many years, and have had only 1 engine fail - and that was during racing (at the track) and my fault completely. Even that failed motor would have still beat your car - and it was an N/A.

RX8s do NOT need premix.
