Buh Bye to my 8
It is with a heavy heart and great reluctance that I have made this decision. I am no longer going to be an owner of an RX-8. I have an '04 (cursed year for 8s) and since my car has passed the warranty border it has been in the shop 4 times. I've done numerous repairs, spending lots of time and money on a car that is relatively new.
I have a few close friends who are rotary owners and I've followed every possible maintainace procedure to keep my 8 healthy. I love this car and the rotary engine, I am not bashing it. Its just, my 8 in particular is falling apart and I can't deal with the repairs and frustration right now. I will start this week shopping around for a new or used car and trade my 8 for it. I wish you all good luck with your 8s and Godspeed. |
Sorry. Bye.
|
Good Job
|
Very sorry about your car man :( Hope you find another car that is both enjoyable to drive and reliable. I sent you a pm (maybe two, I think I messed up lol) interested in your aftermarket parts if you are willing to part out (The body kit and the exhaust). Thanks for your time and I wish you all the luck.

It's probably retaliating for the horrendous front nose you put on it. :dunno:
|
bye
|
Peace !

Anyways goodluck man! |
I think your 8 hates the front bumper kit. It's in depression mode. If you remove it, it may return to being a normal reliable rx8. ;)

Details of the cars maintenance record may can help others stay away from the same problems or same year. Obviously some 04 RX-8 owners are not having these problems. Is your car modified it seems that the body is highly modified, if thats a picture of your 8 in your attar.

Stay away from used silver 04 RX-8s in the Atlantic City, NJ area.

Wow that was uncalled for CarandDriver. SilverMister what car are you planning to get? Planning on getting another sports car or what?
|
CarandDriver, Go fire off some knuckle children and STFU.
Silvermister, I am worried about the reliability issues my 8 has had an will likely dump it prior to my warranty running out. I am looking a for the right MS6 (cannot seem to find one with a sunroof now that I am actually looking). Good luck. |
Dunno if I really want to get rid of my 8. when I wrote the post I was pissed at the dealership. After thinking it thru I decided. I'm taking it to a specialty rotary shop so they can diagnose the problem.
Wish me luck. Thx for your concern.:) |
Cool. I hope you get your issues worked out and you can keep your 8 for a while. I love my 8 but damn even the visor issue will add up over time.
|
good job
|
Just remember, come back to visit us !!!!!
We all miss ya :) |

Are you trying to say you are looking for some action bigboy? What kind of action would you like to see me do? I knew you were a pillow biter. |
aint no lie, bye bye bye....:)

It's quite funny how butthurt some of you get when someone has some bad experiences with an 8 and moves on or at least considers it. It just reeks of insecurity and doubt it your own cars. The guy had bad luck, he was voicing some frustration and saying goodbye, it happens with every car on every car forum. The difference is every forum doesn't have some of the whiney little assholes that we have here. Alright, now let me have it, give it the ole fanboi try. :rolleyes:

HMM? No, I don't think so. But thx for your input. Obviously you words are driven by monumental ignorance as to what I'm going thru or been thru. Besides, I've decided to keep the car and have it fixed by a rotary shop, rather than the incompetent "ASE" certified technicians in mazda dealerships all across the nation.
hopefully your rx8 goes go to proper hands |
Since no one wants to play with me... :(

Good luck Silver. I have an '04 and although I've had no problems somedays I wonder since my b2b warranty will soon be over ('cept for the exteded drive train piece which we get another year). I think you qualify too. So if the specialist finds the problem might want to go to the dealer to see if the problem is still covered.
