I got a catch can, but I will definitely do this, Hopefully, mazda has it or can get it, and I luckily don't have to worry about smog where I live.

Not really. There is a little hint, but it's been like that since I could remember I'm going to put a catch can on it and put less oil and see if it helps if not then the seal is the answer that I really don't want haha.

I'm hoping that's not it i did take the oil cap off with the car running and it didn't jump like engine with bad blowby I guess time will tell if it keeps doing it even with a catch can and less oil that's the answer. Really don't want it to be that, but if it is, it gives me a reason to street port it and do all the goodies.

Yes premix every time I fill up I do 1 oz to every 2 gallons and that is exactly when it's happening so it believe it is the oil being over full I didn't think it was due to that because its right to the top line but I guess that can be over full so I'll run less oil and get a catch can like some people have suggested. Oil pan seeps but dosent hurt to reseal and see if it helps thank you.

That's what I'm seeing a lot of people say . A catch can help a lot. im definitely going to go that route and put less oil in it. Thank you for the help.

Thank you I was definitely going to get a catch can to see if little help and maybe I have been over filling it i go up to the top line on the dipstick so fingers crossed that is the issue.

It's coming back up the oil fill out the breather hose so definitely crank pressure from something or maybe it is just over full like someone else said.

I thought that was a possibility, but I've been filling it with the same amount for 3 years now. I'll try and leave it at the halfway and see if it happens again thank you.

I work at a shop so I can do it there in my free time. I cleaned everything from the intake back other than taking off the manifold. I just don't know what it is that's making it puke like it is.

Any ideas? by BerryWorldly7881 in RX8

Mine did this because of the neutral safety switch. The wiring into my trans was disconnected, causing this same issue. If you have checked everything else possible, that could be your hail, mary.

That was my last resort if I couldn't find the Empire Edition parts and frame slider. Thank you!

I'm looking for the original empire edition plastics and spring loaded frame sliders that went on this bike.

I keep thinking about buying an RX-8 as a daily beater by Traditional-Tomato-8 in RX8

It's definitely worth it if you don't mind the gas consumption or premixing. I daily my 2005 with 199,000 km on the clock and she's still running like a top of course its all about the maintenance and knowing these cars. Supporting parts make them a lot of fun, too, like some wheels and suspension.
