If you decide against rebuilding it and part it out, lemme know. If you do rebuild it, I hope you go for a MT.

No MT swap....... Just gonna sell it as is or rebuilt.... Got plenty of money pits already.

Makes sense, since it's not the only rotary you obviously have. That was more directed at someone who didn't have any other rx's.

That being said, we need a local meet soon.

Im down for a local meet soon, working in Nashville at a shop instead of Clarksville now so im in the area every day anyways...

For those that don't know, there is a Cars and Coffee meet every Saturday. From 8am until 11am iirc. The first Saturday of every month is when most people bring their super and exotic cars out. Believe it's at the Carmike Theatre parking lot in Franklin.

I'll probably start going to them soon since the weathers so nice.

It's actually from 8am - 10am It's pretty much cleared out by noon. I have been having to work Saturday mornings lately. I was off this past weekend for the Deals Gap Rotary Rally.

Thought it went later, edited the time in post.

I'm going to try and go this weekend since I'll be out there anyway. I'll be in my MR2 though. Kinda depends though. They're calling for 90% chance of rain.

Yeah it was so nice yesterday and now it looks like the whole weekend will be ****.

Spotted a yellow 8 aftermarket wing with rx8club decal Davidson county tags heading east bound on 24 around 6pm. Kinda gave me the stink eye when I waived I'm guessing he didn't see the Vin-Auto Mazda Rotary Garage decal on the side of my diesel truck. Anybody know?

So I bought my car last September and it has the same Vin Auto Mazda Rotary Garage decal, I was wondering if that is your garage and where it is located? I have been trying to google it but nothing comes up and I want to know if the engine was rebuilt there, if so how long ago? Plus I want to get a compression test done to see how healthy my engine is. Any info on this garage would be appreciated. By the looks of it, you own the garage so you can private message me if so and we'll get in touch. Thanks!

I'm on the northeast side of Nasty (Madison area). Do you guys still meet up with your 8's? I took mine to a fairly large meet at LP Field a few weeks ago...there was only 1 other rotary there, a Shinka edition, but I could never find the owner.

Rx7 Vinnie

Send me pictures of your car.... I probably did rebuild the engine. I can PM you my shop address.

i am parting out a silver 04, and I will be coming to nashville today/ if anyone needs any quick parts, i can grab them before i leave. I am 4 hours from nashville so let me know, i will be leaving shortly. I have a part out thread in the parts for sale section.

Emrx8

Do you do rebuilds in or around nashville? I haven't decided if I want to swap or rebuild but I have to do something soon. I paid way too much for brand new tires for it to be sitting! Lol I got an estimate from Mazda on broadway, and thought about letting them do it, but haven't found anyone else willing to work on it.

What kind of oil are you guys runnin'? I feel like 5W20 is too thin for this kind of heat...

I guess this thread must be dead. I'm trying to organize a rotary engine club in the Nashville area, but I hardly see any driving around. Would be nice to show up to some car meets with other 7's/8's. I saw a matte black 8 the other day and should have chased him down to give my info.

Hello guys my name is Jahmari from Boston, Mass but I live in Huntsville, AL. I am 19 and I got tricked out into this car. I bought it no warranty and the engine died on me in 2 weeks. Took it to mazda and they told me I need a whole new engine because it is failing the compression test. Plus the guy who sold it to me from the dealership isn't trying to help me and on top of that I already put in 5gs on it and I owe him $2,200... So I'm all kinds of messed up right now.

I need to know what engine replacement I can get for cheap or what other engine I can get installed in it. Its a 2004 Mazda Rx8 blue semi-automatic. Please help me because I need a game plan and I've been stressing out. Plus I tried to sue but my car doesn't fall under the Tennessee lemon law nor federal lemon-law.

Funny thing I bought this car in Murfreesboro...
