If you don't know you can't do it? That's crazy I'm here for 2 reasons, gaining information and giving information so even if I can't do it who's to say that I'm not working my way up and doing some research? I don't mean to offend but it seems crazy to assume that I can't do it I've been on pistions my whole life now I have a dorito and I can't do it... You and I both know that's not how it always works

^ He wrote that ~6 years ago, and it was not directed at you.


Most regular folks who try to rebuild a Renesis fail in their first 2 attempts. It costs around $2K in parts per attempt on average, more if you replace all the stuff you really should replace.


Because of this, we usually direct people toward the respected rebuilders or a Mazda reman.
