Just don't let nycgps anywhere near it - bad '8 karma. But then, he's a New Yorker, so .....

Go Yanks (hey, if the Sox can't be in it ....) ;)

Haha alright. Ill make sure I dont run any compression tests on it! I was still wondering though, if theres any way to find out how much time/milage I have left on my engine...?

As for the Sox vs Yanks, im not really a baseball fan.. Going to watch the Bruins vs Canadians on the 5th of Nov!!

Beyond a compression test, the only way to truly get an idea for how much time the engine has left would be to have it completely broken down by a rotary expert (e.g. MazMart) and even then it would be an educated guess. And if broken down it may as well be rebuilt, so .....

BrrwWAAaAArrrr ! Someone mentioned my name ?!?!?!

hahaha, only in good thoughts NYCGPS!

On average, how much would a rebuild cost? And would I have to drive my 8 all the way there?

Alright, so after doing all the oil changes, my wires plugs and coils, the car feels SO much better! Feels like im driving a brand new car! I LOVE it!! I replaced the Mazda Tranny fluid with the RL MT-90 and shifting is MUCH easier. Not sure who said that shifting will be harder, its not at all! The car all in all feels a WHOLE lot smoother and the shifter isnt vibrating anywhere near as much as it was before i changed everything out.

Thanks for all the help guys! Couldnt have done it without you all!

Changing the 'plugs in particular gives a 'new car' feel. Well done tamz.
