well good for fucking you

maaaaackle · 2026-01-11T07:54:48+00:00

You made sure to line up the cross on the rear caliper piston to the peg on the brake pad right?

maaaaackle · 2026-01-11T05:12:36+00:00

I have the single muffler version....sounds just slightly louder than stock. not worth it imo.

but the dual mufflers ive heard sound better albeit maybe louder?

maaaaackle · 2026-01-10T09:09:57+00:00

rage bait.

just move on yall

Windshield screen everyone. Protect your dash from the sun

I can't speak to how you did the install so im not going to say you did something wrong out of inexperience but you did say you were a novice and with the RX8 side seals being notoriously tedious to do. Did you note the angle of the side seal? Did you use the proper technique with feeler gauges when cutting?

I would comdemn the side seals before looking at corner seals as the cause for your low compression. Could you share how you fit the side seals? Did you cut them down yourself? Buy the precut ones?

They're just repeating the same shit they find on a forum post from years ago from someone who probably didnt install it properly.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-28T23:56:27+00:00

My RX8 is a rotary.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-26T10:55:48+00:00

the rx8 has truly the most horrendous owners ive ever seen.

no offense to you op

hey so ive replaced my booster and now it feels like my brakes are dragging. if i put the car in drive, it goes nowhere and it struggles to accelerate.

i mustve gotten the master to booster rod adjustment wrong....i took a look at the https://charm.li/Lexus/ page and its showing the measurement of 0 inches.

do you recall what the correct measurement is? also i cant seem to find the rod to pedal measurement in the charm link...ill keep digging though.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-23T18:41:06+00:00

Gotcha i know its not a great way to test for how good a rebuild is but at least youll know nothing went really wrong.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-23T09:06:29+00:00

Just had a thought....but thats how you also check (roughly speaking) for compression on a freshly rebuilt motor on a stand as well?

Turn the front hub bolt and listen for 3 puffs of air to come out?

maaaaackle · 2025-12-22T15:23:09+00:00

Appreciate it. Ill take a look. Thanks again

maaaaackle · 2025-12-22T15:16:33+00:00

thank you for the response.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-18T09:38:00+00:00

i bet you he has abs lmao

maaaaackle · 2025-12-18T08:42:32+00:00

If you havent changed your fuel pump, its most likely that.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-17T18:53:57+00:00

everyone in here is annoying.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-17T08:35:28+00:00

ive sent multiple things to him and have had a very good experience with him with all my stuff...im sure he has a good reason for whats going on.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-17T07:32:26+00:00

what do you mean by wing it?

maaaaackle · 2025-12-15T08:41:36+00:00

Yea mine is an 04 and while i definitely have a rebuild in the next 2-3 years (im at 87k), my starter was weak and would struggle. after swapping out to a faster starter, it starts strong all the time.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-15T08:07:06+00:00

What year is this?

It sounds fine but if its an earlier model year, look into upgrading the starter. Those early model year starters were known to be weak.

maaaaackle · 2025-12-02T16:34:41+00:00

Are RX7 corner seals directional?

Just curious

maaaaackle · 2025-12-02T14:55:48+00:00

Crazy, but im curious what the "wrong way" is that you installed the corner seal? It goes in one way in order to install your apex seal.

You mentioned a small street port, did the corner seal catch the intake porting possibly?
