let me know when you do this if your not going to swap coils we can test mines on your cr to rule everything out at once
Which makes it sound like fuel is not the issue but spark is. Wouldn't the fuel starvation happen regardless of engine temperature? I think it would. Regardless of spark issues...None of this explains the low compression test. Mazda says anything under 6.9 is failing. Rotor 1 displayed a 6.9, 6.9, 6.8 and Rotor 2 was like 6.9, 6.9, 6.5. This is probably way off cause I am typing this from memory. I will look for the compression test and scan it if I still have it. I might even get another test done in the hopes it is much worse now. |

I should be free the 12th or the 13th for testing but let's keep this in mind. Once we do this we need to go out and run the car hard for like 20 minutes strait to make sure she is properly warmed up. The issue does not happen otherwise.

OUCH!!! that sucks yea i dont think fuel or spark have to do with that.....
the noise is likely from the lack of compression throwing the entire "spark" process within the engine due to not creating a good seal - put a newer CAT converter on (I have one) - send car to Mazda and just get it done I will just have to hope that Mazda will cover the engine. If they do not then I will simply get a reman from BHR and have it installed and tuned in NA form until I get the funds to go FI. I should be able to start on this once the funds for the tax return comes in. :confused: If mazda covers the engine then I might go ape-shit and buy a turbo or if Hinson pulls there foot out of there own asses and decides to put the v8 kit for the Rx8 out...Then I could sell the new engine and get the Hinson kit. Too many unknowns my friends. :confused: |

so the skidpad was actually yesterday,sunday, so i didn't make it to pp mazda meet. Sadly the Rx8 is for sure for sale because its a bitch to drift. I'll go as low as 9grand for it i think. but hope for a little more.
My friend is coming in his sti this saturday from jacksonville for some track time at homestead. so i could do a meet on friday or sunday. I'm not sure how long his thing is gonna be, but that'd be cool if he has time on saturday so he could come too. if you guys wanna do fri or sun, i'm for sure down. if its saturday then possibly. if its friday, then at night. sunday then in the morning for me :) |

|

|
Its white but i havent taken it to school yet, im still installing my new body kit and looking for some 18" mazda oem wheels. Any of ypu know a place where i can find them for a good price down here??
|
craigslist
|
Well i know that but do you guys know of any local shops othe rthan actual dealerships where i can get oem parts for a decent price? I know one place but its in Ft. Lauderdale....
|
no idea at least for rims
|

They are in Holliwood/Ft. Lauderdale area. I got a used CAT converter from them for like $175. They should have wheels, seats, etc. I saw the warehouse...tons of spare parts. |
Yeah, the guys name is Dave. I spoke to him a couple weeks back. His shop i just extremely far though, hes selling rims for about $400 (all 4 wheels) which is good but i just gotta make time for the drive. Thanks though!
|
^ Get some on the buy/sell threads?
|
Lol, i checked there already as well. I found a few sets of wheels for decent prices but theyre mostly from out of state which kinda blows. I personally like to check out the rims myself to make sure the rims are in good condition and plus, i gotta pay shipping -_-
