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 !

Lol!!

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. ;)

March 2004 and only 45 posts = very small loss

Ciao

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.

he has his mods listed in his signature.

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

I would have over 3,000 posts like you since that date if I posted random idiotic remarks like that. But most of the time my questions where asked by others and answered by the ones that knew how to answer them. Grow up.

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 :)

fix the kn filter v1 first..

beers :beer:

Don't let the door hit you too.

??????

Good job.

dont worry about that 9krpm retard, all he can do is talk but no action.

hey.. that silver... did it used to deliver food for Best Food In Town, in Galloway??? think ive seen you often

lol No I never delivered food there. I'm just addicted to their General tso's chicken. I moved to Mays Landing now. I miss that food.

Hey are you the one w/ the White 8? PM me.

Ignore him he's a like nasty fart. Everybody hates it, but in time it goes away.

sounds like driver related problems
LOL!!!

You're going away so you just proved your point.

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.

Keep it up CarandDriver and you'll be in the 4,000 posts in no time. I'm rooting for ya buddy:biggthump

With your help, I'll be there in no time.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS MY POST COUNT !!!!

how could this have happen .... :banghead:

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:

the bottle is in the garage!!!

beers :beer:

Aye Aye Aye .... Im done with that *big man*

All he can do is *blah blah blah*, no help, whatsoever.


Again to OP, there're tons of great cars out there. Find the one that you love, have a big smile, sign the contract, and drive it home !

i love pudding

That's what she said.

I love pudding, and maybe some Tiramisu.

1. ASE certified technicians are NOT trained for rotary engines, you'd have to go to the mazda factory school and specialize
2. i own both an FD and an RX8
3. your assumptions own you, which is probably why your 8 isn't running well and why you're getting rid of it

hopefully your rx8 goes go to proper hands

Since no one wants to play with me... :(

day old bread and portly pantemimes

Wow; maybe if we all said "Crossfire" or "search threads" whenever possible, we would all have 3,000+ posts.

Crossfire Convertible

If you would read all my postings here rather than reading the first one and posting the latest reply, you would see that I changed my mind in getting rid of my 8. I was pissed at the service I got at the dealership and I overreacted. Get over it.
Your ASSumptions of ME are irrelevant. Therefore I grant you your new certification. Congrats and keep up the good work.:)

porterhouse steak... mmmm

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.
