Best option would be to give him a ring for full details, but from memory (I've known and helped out with the car for over a year) there is no history of a rebuild but the engine has had regular compression and water leakdown tests with spot on results every time, Leighton has also said that he would get one done again at WGT prior to sale to put the new owners mind at rest. Like I say though, best to give him a ring rather than go through me.VdubboyU said:
It's a bit of a myth the old 60k rebuild, it tends to be the ones that have not been left to warm-up and cool-down properly by previous owners that tend to fail. If you can find a well looked after example, usually from an owners club, then they should be as reliable as a conventional piston engine. You have to look hard for a mint one though, it took us about 4months to find this one for Leighton, ended up getting this one off a bloke who had two, I think he sold this one to fund the tripple rotar and single turbo conversion on his other one, god only knows that that one would be pushing out!
I said that too but he never liked them, He used to have some deep split-rims on it that made it look like a drift car but when it came round to putting tyres on them he found a set of RX8 wheels and good tyres on the RX Owners Club for cheaper so went for them. I think it makes the car look alot more modernVery Cherry said:320 bhp out of a 1.3
