MGC-GT?

should have used spell check on psychological (hope I got that right)

There are a lot of pschological studies dealing with how people, even after they are proved wrong, continue to believe the same point.

Except it’s not a noose.  Kreh loop.  Fisherman’s knot. 

“The flags lined the road into the track along side a sign declaring ‘Defund NASCAR’ which is particularly confusing. Do racist fans think tax dollars go to NASCAR? They are the ones funding the races by attending and watching races and buying the products and services that sponsor cars. But this is also a group that…

Haynes Law: Any given set of instructions will contain at least one significant omission or error.

No it wouldn’t.  The pixels would have burned out long ago...

To Infiniti, and beyond?

Um, you've got that backwards. For given torque, any lube increases clamping force in the joint. ( Yes, I've done torque tension testing comparing various chromate and anti seizes)

I’ve a similar-vintage 2003 MB with the 6-speed. It’s a miserable transmission. If I get a larger c320, I’ll get the auto, and that’s coming from a hard-core manual fan who’s never owned an automatic.

I don’t hate the engine or body on these, but the “pimp my ride” interiors have always put me off from buying one.  I mean, who are these interiors designed for?  Oh...Karen...

Yeah they have.  If you own one long enough, then 200/month isn’t unusual, and you’d better budget for it.

I’d say NP on this, IF someone has figured out an aftermarket solution to the non-serviceable fuel pump and air/oil separator. Otherwise, sadly, CP.

It's the crackiest of crack pipes. So let's set that aside for a question. If fb marketplace and Craigslist are horrible places, where do you find your next jalop? Some of you have the ability to search nationwide and find interesting cars, but I've seen no jalopnik article on places to search (other than Bring a…

Im not saying the rotary can’t be a great engine. But for a business case it has to be great for most people. A first gen rx-7 is great, if you change oil regularly. A second gen is great if you do that and add a fuel pump cutoff switch to dump pressure when you turn off the engine. An rx-8 is great if you use…

Np. Not because I'd buy it, but someone will. When a near junk 944 is going for $4k and nice ones in the teens, it's not a stretch for a 968 to see $20k.  Having said that, I think the styling is 90's meh.

Please, just stop. The rotary, once Mazda moved away from carbs and plentiful oil injection, was a disaster. There's no reason to think what's essentially a two stroke engine is going to be better here. Ive' had first and second generation rx-7's, so I'm not a hater.  But give it up already.

No.

If you want to know what first gen RX-7's are going for, go to Facebook Marketplace, set your location to Cincinnati, and do a search.  I’ve seen good condition cars listed between 5k and $10k, and rolling bodies for about the same price this guy is asking.  Regardless of whether you like the rotary engine, for the…

Well said.  The 2nd gen had leaky injectors to wash down the chamber walls and dilute the oil, and the RX-8 starved the engine for oil.  Sold my ‘84 with 185k on the clock and still started warm or cold, in about two revs of the engine.
