rotary engine rebuild (i think)
engien starts fine still has power there but sounds as if it knocking , as if there is a spark plug jumped out. was wondering if there is any cheap
engine rebuild places near me as once repaired will be sold . i have the 2006 rx8 192 model

Cheap and rotary rebuilds aren't words that usually go together I'm afraid.
If you still have power then I can pretty much guarantee a plug hasn't 'jumped out' 
I think you need to get someone to look at it for you before you decide it needs a rebuild.
Could the exhaust just be blowing on the manifold?

cant be that i can tell the difference but it definatley is a knocking noise, it there when you accelerate , if you put foot on cluth and free wheel ,
the sound is not there. that why it makes me think firing side

If it is an engine knock then it's goosed I'm afraid and a rebuild will be £1000's. Google 'RX8 engine knocking', it
ain't a good read
