FL New RX-8 Owner

I'm new to the mazda rx-8's I recently bought a 2005 GT the other week because I have friends with them. Now I have a few questions the rotorary engine in mine was replaced at 40,000 miles and the car has 77,860 and mazda has the 8?year/100,000 mile warrenty am I still able to have that if something happens to my engine or no? Also the car is all stock execpt it has a ACT clutch, and I have questions on the up keep of the car and I'm new to driving standerd transmission and I stall a little bit is that killing the engine?

Any help would be great, here is a pic

Do none of your friends with rx8s know anything about their car? Call up mazda north america(assuming you are there) and ask them how long you have left on your warranty.

Did you not get a compression test when you bought the car?

The rotary's don't like to stop and crank right back up. Keep in mind to check the oil every few fill up's. Should be using around 1 quart about every 1,000 miles

Did you read this? If you truly want to know about the car, you will.

Nothing wrong learning from your friends as well. That is why friends are
