RX8 Deflood Calgary! Will pay$$

Hey. I am 17 and received an RX8 as a birthday present not to long ago. I have loved 8's since day one, and my parents bought me an 8 that had passed mechanical/safety tests.

I managed to flood my eight.

I am now looking for an RX8 enthusiast that knows what he/she is doing to come deflood my eight, either for pure fun and their interest in RX8's or would like to do a quick job for $80 to $150. I could get it towed to RotaryEngine's but I have heard that they like to charge excessively because they are the only people who know this stuff. Thanks! I would like to get my 8 going for this summer

Flooded my 8 for the first time when I took her out of storage this year, took out the plugs to clean them and used this deflooding guide, worked great:

There's many Deflooding threads, just have to find them and give them a try...

If it's a 6 spd, pull/push start it in 2nd gear.

HOLY ballin'.... you would pay that much money to deflood your car by a member here? It's so easy, I wish I was in calgary to take that money off your hands cause I could use some money!!!

Some dood randomly happened to flood his 8 right outside the bride's home where I was just being a wedding helper last month, it took me less than 5 minutes, the bastard was lucky that by fate he had broken down in front of me and I helped the guy on his way!!

So easY!!!
