I'm pretty sure it's the blower and blower wheel. Any idea what that entails?

It's not a temp problem, it's actually erratically pushing cooled or heated air. Some times not at all and it's not up to speed and it's making a ticking noise as I try to increase fan speed.

ahh most of the time fan issues are a pain to fix cause you have to remove the whole dashboard not sure on the rx8 tho. might be lucky and just have something caught in the fan tho causing it to get jammed it could be a fan loose on the motor shaft too which will cause all sorts of noise.

New to the area and looking for a meet to find some people with the same 1.3 interest that I have. Please get something soon, preferrably on a Saturday night. I need to see what everybody else has. I've seen a few on the highways, and I like what I've seen so far. I'm excited to get together and meet you guys...

Adam get some spacers lol also these wheels are wide as shut man anything much more aggressive than what I'm running is going to cost you in body work. And yes it means wither an 05-06 M3 or an 08-09 335i I'm leaning towards the 335 ATM with the twin Turbo i6 it's a monster when tuned making 300 + at the wheels easy with virtually no supporting mods. Also newer so theoretically cheaper upkeep. But the M3 is my dream car and just a sports machine to the core.
