I like this thread, i'm from sauga too....there isn't much meets here, but we def should do one when the weather shapes up. I'd be down.

Hackdss, I'm thinking of getting a new starter (i deflooded my engine early winter) on top of other things. May I ask where did u purchase it? i.e dealer, online, scrapyard.

Fierce unleashed I got my starter from Avante Mazda in richmond hill for $395 and it came with 2 leading spark plugs in box. I have a auto so I think the manual starter might be cheaper, I was quoted 700 at other Mazda dealers Avante gives us a deal just tell them your part of the rx8club forum and you will get a discount and call them up before going in to see if they have stock.

thanks Chad/hacks, thanks for that. Once summer comes around (good weather in general) i'm going to tackle this.

I wanted to do a small maintenance this summer, starter +BHR ignition + new battery
