Bought my 2004 8 brand new in September of '04. The engine has never flooded.

-1.3L

 

Owner of 2 first gen rx7s,
1 second gen rx7
and 1 rx8.

Never flooded.

 

05 MT, 103K. Never flooded.

 

45,000 miles on my MT 2004...never flooded.

 

Never flooded..

Only 07' though.

Don't think I will ever flood unless a shop does it.. I'm very careful.

 

you've all jinxed yourselves. i said that and a week later i flooded mine. totally avoidable and stupid but hadn't done it until i said i hadn't.

 

Don't tempt me; I *WILL* make a "Never flooded one week after joining the Never Flooded Club" thread!

 

and i'll start the more popular "jinxed myself and flooded one week after joining the Never Flooded Club" thread.

 

Bought my car in '09 at 21k miles. Now I'm at 45k miles and I've never flooded my car. I guess looking at this forum and taking good advice was the aid in that!

 

long time reader, first time posing.
07, 45,000km, never flooded.

 

08 GT - 11k Miles, No flooding... Couple of hard starts tho after not quite holding it in the start position long enough.

 

Never flooded either of my 8's!

2004 SS AT
2004 BB MT

:D

 

hey, op can i have like an admin status of the "never flooded" thread since i was the first to join this ever-so-quickly growing club?

 

30K no flooding

 

All it takes is one brain fart. I was at 90k, never flooded, went to move my car, shoes were wet, foot slipped off the clutch and stalled. Spent the next hour following the factory de flood procedure.

 

Have owned two RX8's, both bought used, 2004 put 17k miles on it, 2007 so far put 6k miles on it. Never flooded either one.

 

My '05 will be 56 months old in April - never flooded once.

I've had one failure to start when it was 3 years old, and that was because of a dead battery (replaced by Mazda for free).

 

'06 MT, never flooded. Even with turning the engine one for about 10 sec and shutting it off (for a short move).

 

2004 MT never flooded. Short moves, when engine is cold or warm.

 

my friend has a 97 sebring and he flooded a piston today due to a misfire i couldnt stop laughing

 

Cross my fingers. 2005 with 37K miles, but I am vigilant about not turning it off or stalling it when cold.

 

My '05 will be 60 months old in April; never flooded once.

 

i don't get it.
one person shuts engine off after 10 sec., doesn't flood while other has foot slips it floods right away.
i had multiple times i had engine turned off when cold but my understanding is as long as i turn it right back on it should be ok.
or is it because mine's 07?

 

out, shop did it for me

 

I've had two RX-8s, both 2005, and have never flooded either one.

And, just to add since it pertains to a related rotary myth, I used the first one through 3 Canadian winters. Never failed to start, even on the coldest mornings.
