Ill be there. Would be cool to meet and roll in.

 

This Friday 29th April 6:00 to 10:00 PM.

 

Nope, Kabura - Power is supplied to Kabura concept’s rear wheels from a 2.0 L version of Mazda’s MZR DOHC 16-valve engine.

 

Mannnnnn, I would love to go to the cob theater meet, ESP since it's RIGHT next to my house... Too bad I'm still missing my front right fender from that accident. Order new fender, bumper, side light, and fog light. Came out to around $700 from the Mazda dealer and the shop I'm taking it to, to paint it just put a body kit on a rx8 and the driver just told them to keep his back bumper, so they gave it to me since mine has a few rough spots on it. Even though I'm driving my '8 right now, it's in no shape for a show, which sucks cuz I just got the new system put in it =(

 

Poor Chase... At least its in the shop now getting fixed.

 

I took over to Fermans and they ended up replacing the motor and cat under warranty. I had them replace the clutch right away while it was all apart, that way I only had to pay for the part and no labor. They also put in new coils, plugs and wires and a few other things. I've only driven it a little bit so far but it seems to be running pretty good.

 

Had to have the 8 towed in again!

I left it running, went inside to the store came out and it was stalled. Smelling of an electrical burning smell. It had power to the lights and dash but would not even turn over.

So we will know tomorrow what the hell happen, thank God I have a back up car.

 

PCM is FRIED !!!

Anyone have an extra laying around? LOL

Hopefully they cover it under warranty. The car is 400 miles past 80,000. So crossing my fingers that the service manager with warranty it.

 

Just talked to Mazda dealer and they won't warranty it. Now I am having to call the 800 number and I am going to talk to the GM later today as well.

 

I'll be there shortly after 5 in case you want to park the 8s together.

 

Well I will not be making it.

But did get good news. Mazda is going to warranty for half the cost even though I am over my mileage for it.

The bad news car will not be ready until Saturday at the earliest.

 

Glad they are helping you out.

 

Me and Chris(RWD+LSD= Zoom) will be there too.

Anyone else definitely coming? I'll try to get us spots together.

 

Ill be there around 7ish

 

that NOS thing was a pretty good time... I cant believe how many people turned up there. One of the largest Northern Tampa meets for sure.

THUMBS UP

 

Ok,

So I am both happy and pissed off. They got in the pcm on Friday night late, went to install it on Monday; well long story short is that was not the issue the whole time.

Turns out it was the PCV burned out and had no output to turn the PCM on. So it was only $450 for install and oil change. So I saved money!

What pisses me off is they had the part the whole time. Took 2 hours to fix it.

So I could have gone Friday night had they actually checked out the entire car.

 

sorry you went through frustrations Mike, but glad everything worked out for the better

 

Yea,

The payoff was tonight. Blasting over the skyway with the windows down and listening to the exhaust note humming off the retaining walls. Makes it worth the wait to get it back right.

 

when is the next time everyone will be getting together. was at Deals Gap (DGRR) last week. just move up here last month.

 

So the 8 is back in the shop again. The day after I got it back from the last repair I flip on the a/c and with in 30 minutes smell electrical burning smell. Turn the a/c off problem gone. So I take it back. They say it is the exhaust. I say to the guy "Really you think it is the exhaust, I am smelling" "I have had the mid pipe on there for over a year and just now i notice the smell?" So I take it back. Well today it starts sputter and stalls as I am taking my kid to school. They are telling me the coils are bad and need to be replaced.

So i told them if this doesn't fix the car we are going to have a serious talk about how much of a refund I am going to get on parts and labor.

So I am crossing my fingers and hoping this fixes it for good.

 

idk if you guys cared but i did finally manage to get a job. unfortunately not there in Tampa Bay like i was planning but near Omaha, NE. Hoping to be able to come back to FL sometime in the future though.

Oh yeah, GO RAYS!

 

Cool man, Congrats thanks for keeping us informed.

 

Thats cool you got a new job, sucks that it is in Ohmaha. But you got to go where they pay you.

 

Get her back yet ? Everything better ?

 

Sorry to hear about your car. I hope to make a meet here in the next few weeks. Can't wait to catch up with everyone.
