Heck yeah, this car will get the panties to drop ...and I have plenty of room in the back seat

Wow I don't think I would want that car either. It's one thing to add graphics but that is a bit much to me.

Here is a pic of one of the rims for Will and 12oclock to see. Sorry I didn't know how to send via PM.

They do have some scratches where the previous owner took off the Axis sticker. But when they are on the car you can't really see it.

and thats why i wont add graphics to the RX i love most of the ones i've seem on the 8's but many are just to much and take away from the lines of the car and again i state i still like the type s.. it sounds pretty nice too if i remember its just to big for me lol

Beautiful! I thought about doing something like this on game days with magnetic decals. I'd make it look more like the real helmets though, with buckeyes on the side and all.

Huhwha

I wonder what kind of discount they're offering after the USC debacle.

Oh - never mind - it's MD - they don't deal.

TwiztedRX

haha nice... yeah they are a bit stiff.. i even had the lady at the parts counter try and upcharge me 125 bucks on my MS dual muffler exhaust.. lol she was like ok i have you listed for "this' and it will be $800 total.. i was like WHAT.. its $675 on the MSusa website and free shipping! she said well its $800 here. and we know ya cant order online. like in the end she said she would "HONOR" the online price lol

I saw that car too, tried to get a picture of it with my phone, but for some reason it just wouldnt take it. Maybe cause I dont believe the defaced such a beautiful car.

Just anouther day in paradise! Dealing with Mazda direct becuase when I had my car in there they were really smart and "misplaced" my oil cap and didnt tell me.... they put a paper towel over the filler wrapped rubber bands around it and didnt tell me that they did it.. so i go to check the oil when filling up and wow.. hi no filler cap! grrr so now ive been emailing back an forth with the General Manager and he sint to happy with the service manager

BBQdDude

Wow, never had an issue with there service department. Course I ALWAYS am overly nice to them. They remember me and even cut me some slack when they don't have to or shouldn't .

Huh???

Picked out my 2004 last December. They had an outrageous sticker price on the window. Talked them down $3300.00 after three rounds of this is MY best offer. However it was winter and they had three other 8s on the lot. They must have changed their "style" since then I guess. I even, once we had a set price, did one more walk around the car and stated the tires were under the legal limit showing them the "dime test". They stated they could do nothing. I walked. The next night I get a call from the sales rep stating that if they do it would I sign tomorrow.

Things must have changed harshly there, hope they marked down the starting price to reality.

Take care,

i am beyond nice and i havnt had a problem until now... it just upsetting that being a loyal customer and they were unwilling to see it as a problem.. i took it back to them showed them the service mng literally said i dont see the problem with it.. he thought it was OK for my car to leave the shop with no oilcap and paper towel and rubber bands. instead with out telling me. then letting it go a week. i could go into more detail but i dont feel like typing it all

Huhwha

I'll never be back - they couldn't care less about their customers.

TwiztedRX

yeah it was very easy problem to fix. i didnt want much. an explination and apology(ms) but due to his actions.. i will be getting a free compression test. and 3 oil changes if i want them... but hell im very nervous about even letting them have my car again even though the GM knows the situation and is very helpful

they were great for a year or so, and all of a sudden they flat out refused me service. gearbox was grinding to all hell, and they said it was normal and they wouldnt do anything. took it to ricart and had to have two gears replaced, it was that bad.

TwiztedRX

well then the next logical question and move would be is there any more dealers around mazda or not that are expereinced enough to work on our cars with good service? personal experiences?

Huhwha

It's a long haul for me, but Ricart gets the nod now. They replaced my engine in January and kept me well informed all the way. They weren't smart enough to fill it completely with oil or to recharge the air conditioning, but they sorted that out when I raised the issues.

I hear Kings Mazda out of Cin is good. But that's a long haul. I used to go to Castruccis in Dayton for oil changes before doing my own. I never had any issues with them except for them usually overfilling the oil a bit. They did some warranty work for me as well small things but never had any issues though.

BBQdDude

Always the RX-8/7 store. However some days I wonder about them as they flooded my car. Other than that they have very short working hours. They do nice work though.

Bummer about MD. I will mental note the comments and make sure to always CYA myself when using them.

Anyone try the stealership on Sawmill road? I have talked with them but ended up not taking my car in as I found a DIY on the issue I was having.

Take care,

Brian

TwiztedRX

i have yet to deal with the rx8/7 store yet i want to because i will be getting a set of coilovers soon and will need them to install and align guess i just need to give them a call... anyways my car should be done soon from the Compression test hope its all good

BBQdDude

I stopped by MD last night to order a small part and have the tech. show me what he "reseats" when my deploy airbag icon goes off.

While I was waiting they let me test drive this nice gray RX-8. License plate had twsted rx8. I showed them and drove it like I stole it................Psyche had to poke some fun at you.

Take care,

Brian

I've said it for five years now but Frank at Byers all but massages my nuts everytime I go over there. I was there yesterday getting my once a year oil change and he's the best Service Tech I've ever run into, hands down, regardless of automobile. Everyone has their issues I know but I trust Frank completely. Even reflashed the car for no charge. He once hand washed my car personally. He's also given me their commercial cleaning solutions, which in my opinion work better than anything you can get over the counter, for no cost. Maybe because were both Italian, who knows.

TwiztedRX

haha good stuff i like i like.. but in all seriousness they did it again! first thing my compression test came back fine.. i have the sheet with everyone on it in hand well in my other car.. it was i think 8.21 at 268? and 8.45 at 240? i cant remember of the top of my head. but as i was walking into the service bay i saw my car sitting outside with the front aero bumper pushed against the PARKING BLOCK!!! of course i about wigged out... they called the body shop and they are going to replace it.. so i suggested they take it off the price of the MS front... they are tring to tell me that the down through the paint and into the plastic scuffs and the bent undertray and the fact that my front bumper is dislodged and not flush with the fenders will only cost them $137.78 to fix.. and they are tring to charge me for the LABOR! grrr..... it keeps getting worse

TwiztedRX

and is that the Byers mazda subaru by the airport? if so thats not to much of a hual for me

frank is indeed awesome, but hes just a service tech and when you have a real issue its out of his hands. i hated leaving him, but the service manager paul was a downright god awful person

B-, I think he's gone now. Maybe you can go back.
