Good to hear from you again. Ditto on the plugs, wires and coils at that mileage. The starter will help as well, as it turns the engine at higher revs when starting. I've done the plugs, wires & coils if you want some help.

So I took my 8 over to Byers today get my oil change. I explain to them the issue I've been having with hard starts after the car is warmed up. I decided to pay them the $90.00 fee to do a diagnostics/compression test. They called me back and said they have to run one more test, but their confident I'm going to need a new engine.
Right now, they have to collect some sort of data and send it over to headquarter.

I'm glad I decided to take today and tomorrow off. I won't have a car until tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope I get a new/rebuild engine! I won't have to pay the $90 service fee

That one looks like it was at National Trails? SCCA AutoX Ohio Valley region cycles between OSU campus and National Trails.

Ok - I'm gettin' hungry. Who's up for a City Barbeque run? Sunday around 1:00 @ the Henderson Rd location?

Other thoughts always welcome, but we need to get together!

Not sure if anyone is interested in going to a national meet, but the IndyRX8 Club is hosting Mazdafest on the May 2nd in Indy...

Road Trip Anyone?

Interesting, but 6 hours on the road eats up a lot of Sunday!

Cool - let's do it then. Who's in?

I'm off this week so I hope to get some time to clean the bugs & tree pollen the car collected on the trip to Alabama!

I might be able to swing by at 1pm. I'm getting my new engine this week so I have to find places to drive and break in the engine. I might not eat so how long will everyone be there?

Hi there, I'm from the Akron/Cleveland group. Was wondering if you guys commonly meet on Sundays? I'm planning on being down in the Cbus area on the 23rd and was wondering if I could stop by and meet you all.

Do you guys want to push this of until next Saturday (Sunday is Mother's day)? I'm game either way, but the weather looks kinda crappy today.

Had a great time meeting you all yesterday, and we managed to stay dry (for the most part anyway).

One of the Jeffs and I did a little "spirited" driving afterward... Good times.

Let's get together again sometime soon.
