No more weak starts!!!

While my car was at the body shop (after being there for 5 weeks!!! post snow accident), the car would not start. Not sure if it was from sitting or maybe the body shop guys flooded it--I have never had a problem with flooding previously.

Silver Lining: it got towed to the dealership, where they replaced the leading plugs, and installed a new starter and higher amp battery under warranty.

Result: no more weak cranking. She just fires right up--strong!!!

**I've attached a couple of the "pre" body work shots!

Ouch!!! It is always sad to see a crunched rx8. Glad it worked out well for you!

How hard did you get hit? Nice to see that the cool door design didn't allow the door to fall off or anything. I mean, I know it's well engineered, but with no b post, I've been wondering what would happen...

I was travelling at 10-15 km/h down a steep hill (snow covered); a truck backed out onto the road right in front of me, I steered to avoid him and went into a 4 wheel slide (car felt like it was accelerating with the slide; so speed was relatively low, but impact was significant.
