Good morning! New to RX8club and new ownership.
 

Good morning and greetings to everyone here.

New owner of a 2004 Mazda RX-8 Base 6 port 1.3 Manual Transmission

So far I have owned the car for a little over 6 months and time and again have used feedback and posts from all of you to help solve tricky issues that were new to me in the Rotary field.

Recently had the expansion tank sensor go bad which replaced the tank...... whereby found out the initial owner cracked and glued the top little spigot to the top of the radiator from the expansion tank.

Cracked that off whereby needed a brand new radiator which I was able to get with a top tank that was metal. Hopefully less likely to snap.

Hoping to learn plenty from all of you experienced members and of course I will try and do my fair share of searching for answers prior to posting in order to not waste anyone's valuable time.

Greetings and hopefully have a wonderful week ahead.

Brian

This was November 2017..... car was in the shop for almost 2 years starting back in late 2016. What a long damn wait. The car itself had baked paint and some dents and dings..... wanted to custom make a car the way i wanted as a early mid life crisis.
