I didn't think you had an STi??? I thought you had an RS that had a lot of work done to it. Do you ever go to LISC meets? Your car looks great and that's some serious power you're putting down.

Ever miss your 8 Though?

rotary engine experts

Whats up yall. I am having some issues and in need of some help here. I had some work done at sunrise transmission and needless to say...it didnt hold. At 7500 ropms the pressure plate blew, blew the flywheel, blew the bell housing, blew the tranny and the motor!!!!! Awesome right? anyways i am having the car shipped up to ny beings as i know have to go to court with this place cause they wont cover the work done (less then 1000 miles on the repair) and i need to have an expert look at the engine so that he can testify in court as to where the problems arose from. 13000 worth of work is unaccetpable to me especially after dropping 9000 into it and still having 10k left on the note. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Suffolk County is where my family is. Please email me directly at trinitybistro@hotmail.com

Whats up with this group anyone from here still come out? If anyone's interested the Queens meets usually have a decent turnout. Since its getting colder less of us are coming out.

But this thursday we plan on having one last meet before Christmas/New years. About 5-6ish Rx8s are coming out and probably the miata and mazdaspeed3 guys'll be around. Plus theres always random characters that show up (240's, Evo's Bimmers, Proteges, and some Fd/Fcs).

If anyones wants to come thru and say hey. Were in Douglaston Queens right off the Cross Island expy. Near Great Neck LI.

Edit: Address to the Meet:

242-02 61st Avenue, New York, NY
AAC Douglaston Plaza Shopping

Yeah, plugs/wires/coils would be a good start.

Whatever you do, don't bring it to Wantagh Mazda, they'll try sucking your pockets dry and make you pay for all different things. I changed coils/plugs/wires and did a carbon cleaning myself once and they said they needed to change them again (over $500-600) before continuing to different tests. I've been there a few times before and they could never figure out the hard start problem, after everything was said and done, it was most likely the engine. I Walked right out.

I'd invite you to the Queens/NYC Rx8 meets.. But apparently were displaced ATM. Should have a location again soon. But if anything we'll reset to the default spot in College Point under the bridge.

Yeah definitely recommend you coming to the queens meets if its not to far for you.... I knew a couple of guys who use to come like 30-60miles in long island... One guy from Staten island, and a couple from the Bronx....

Anybody in the Suffolk County area with any project ideas

I have an '04 RX-8 and an RX-7 and I was wondering if anyone knows anyone who specializes in rotary engines

Little Help

Queens Long Island maniacs - I am 6 months into my '05 RX8. Had a tune up done nothing major but lately been getting an on and off vibration as well as a lot of bugging. My mechanic says the car is fine. Would love to met up see what you think and if there is a reliable and honest mechanic you can redo would be great as well. I am in queens but happy to make the drive - thx
