I'm still here. About to turn 100k miles on my 8. Hard to believe I've had her over 9 years.

Nope, I got a compression test done right before more warranty ran out. I was barely under spec so I got a new reman put in at 87k.

It was free covered under warranty. Having a good relationship with the dealership has its benefits ;-)

Well I don't know anybody at Med Center that well and I wouldn't want to do anything that would compromise my morals or integrity.

Once you get close to the end of your warranty you might want to talk to a service adviser about your concerns. Usually, if you tell them you're having a hard time starting it they'll do a compression test under warranty (if you have new plugs and coils). It also helps if you've had your oil changes and service work done there.

Morally I had no issue with it. The design of the S1 renesis is flawed. Just my 2 cents.

Just to let some of you know, there is a Cars and Coffee in Bham every saturday morning at 8:30 - 10:30.. Location: Brookwood Mall parking deck behind AppleBees/O'Henry's coffee. Or better land mark is parking deck just next to the new Target.

I usually make it to this every saturday morning.. except maybe tomorrow..

Cool. Thanks for that info! I doubt I'll make it into Birmingham for that, but if I happen to be in the area for some reason on a Saturday I'll try to swing by.

Anyone still in good ole bama? I'm in the Muscle Shoals area up top left corner of the state. Be cool if we could get enough rx8 owners to have a cruise in/photoshoot.
