Mazda rx8 231 gets a full service and a compression test. In this video I swap out the engine, gearbox and diff oil, fit all new plugs coils and leads plus swap out the filters. I then preform a compression test with a standard compression tester to find out how close to the end of it's life the 13b rotary engine is.

U swap D585 to a stock coil. D585 is more responsive and smooth, why not swap back to new D585. And this car need rebuild..

The airbox is huge. Rx8s are actually midengined, the engine is behind the front wheels! I got mine straight piped smashing out the inside of the CAT hollowing it out and removing all boxes. Way toooo loud fro the street. Never have I straight piped a car as loud as that. I had to buy two small boxes on the back was then not as loud. Never seen a compression test before, ,,,🤔

Out of curiosity, did you ever get a proper compression test done on the car? generally, <6bar is a failing engine, and at around 5 they usually stop idling all together, so i'd be very surprised if your readings here were anywhere in the right ballpark considering you barely made it to 4.

other than that, good video, allthough the music was honestly a bit of a pain with how much the volume and quality fluctuated the whole time.
