Bingo! Broken front motor mount. Got it in with 1 day left on the factory warrenty.

WOrked fine for 1 day - then a vibration came back. Not as bad, but definately there. I am guessing that with the first one broken for a month or more, it may have stressed the others and with a new front, another one let go. Or they did not torque the nuts down enough.

This car is getting to be a hassle - in the shop 6 times in the past 3 months. Anyone want to buy a gently used RX-8? haha

I just got this done over the weekend. Ever since then I've been accidentally slipping my tires a lot more than usual, there does seem to be a little more power. That, or my right foot suddenly got heavier. Too early to tell on the mileage. Car was running just fine before the flash, rock solid at idle.
