just so you know, there are no blown cylinders, and apex sealed don't just need changed. if they need changed, then the motor is blown. also rotaries are designed to slightly burn a little oil. GLWS even with a rebuild, this would still be a nice car

Description:

2004 RX8
Grand Touring Edition
112000 miles
manual
red on two tone red and black leather

I bought the car as a project but have not time to spare.
Car starts and drives but burns oil, check engine light is on for cylidner misfire, and apex seal needs to be changed
It has new clutch, new breaks.
Great overall condition!


Okay this is bugging the shit out of me. What is that under the engine bay? I suppose it could be dirty ass water, but it really looks kind of oily to me.

How can a car without cylinders have a misfire in one?
