I'd love to see yours sometime. You guys have meets? I'm so new to this site, just got my 8 in March. Haven't made any mods and I am not sure if I'm going to just yet. I may wait until the warranty expires. What do you think?

I pass a black 8 from time to time on route 7 (Old Philly Rd). You have the new MD plates? I think your car is the spitting image of mine, if so. I work right off of Rte 7 in Aberdeen. Pretty close to the base (Old Philly & 715)

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a manual transmission somewhere close by. Any suggestions? anyone have one sitting around? I just need one to rebuild before mine takes a dump.

Thanks,
Travis

FML ! Today on my way to work my car lost power in the middle of I-95. CEL started blinking and kept losing and gaining power... Managed to turn around and come back home (of course it shut down couple of times but managed to restart). My guess.. my engine has come to an end, and even worst my car has 115K miles, so bye bye warranty.... Having it towed to S. Thomson Mazda in Baltimore. I hope their service is good....

She's beautiful. Love the color - I'm guessing it's custom? Where did you get it done?

I had a rough day, speaking of paint. They were painting outside and overspray got ALL OVER my car. Thank God my company is letting me put in a claim, they'll pay to have it fixed up. Which means pretty shiny car for me!

PS, where can I find a fly a** car like that red one pictured above?

That sucks man! How much are you looking at for repairs? About 3K for a rotary I'd assume
I'm glad I got extended warranty through ford ESP so even if Mazda doesn't give me a new engine, all I'll have to pay will be the $100 deductible

Sounds to me like you lost a plug, wire, or coil, or combination. Blinking CEL means misfire. I had a leading plug wire pop off and it felt like a half-dead engine. The coils in these things are known to fail at 30-40k miles.

Hopefully it's just ignition failure of some sort. Good luck.

Hey....

A lil update, wankel u were right... plugs and coils failed... Got them replaced, and went to pick it up again, once I left the dealer, everything seemed ok and once I started to rev, the CEL starting blinking again. Took it back and looks like it is one spark plug that doesn't wanna work, hopefully it will be all over tmr :-). So glad It is not the engine heh....
