Whats up 8 owners! Just figured I'd show some love to the NorCal 8 owners seeing as in a year or two I hope to be one myself. Currently driving my FC right now.

 

sup g, hows it goin?

I was with the caravan with the black rx8 last sept for seven stock

 

You guys going to "laythors" - "norcal dyno day?"

 

^nope~

 

Yeah thats right, still got a walkie talkie of yours.

Things have been alright just doin my rotor thing XD.

 

FAWK! THe engine is flooded. The car will not start.

 

how many miles?

 

I deal with this all the time. Tow it and it will start. You can not push start it in this situation. I already have done this on 6 RX8's..lol

 

Nah, I did what matt suggested. Kill the starter....lol

seriously, I held down the gas pedal and cranked it for 30 seconds.

Then started it without pushing the gas pedal. AFter three tries it worked.

I probably killed the starter. lol

The manual says only 8 to 7 seconds, so I tried that over and over for an hour last night and it diden't work.

 

Rob you still have your 8? I thought you sold it already...

 

get a new starter.. problem solved.

 

It's still working.

 

Glad you got it started.

 

then you don't need a new starter

 

Hey guys, anyone know of any shops that will do a lowering spring install/alignment for a pretty good price? Thanks

I would highly recommend Paul, he's a great mechanic who doesnt rape you on labor, plus he does great work. His personal Rx8 can vouch for that

 

Hey everyone! I have a 2004 Mazda RX8 6 speed. I leased it new, fell in love and paid it off. I had brought it to the Mazda dealer in Stockton, CA where I live since I have owned it. It is no longer under warranty and I am ready to break the chains of the dealer service center. I need help finding someone I can trust out here in the Valley to take good care of my baby. Any suggestions?

 

rotor sport in pleasenton is your best bet

if anyone knows better please chime in

 

FAWK I threw and apex seal and its been sitting at the dealership for 2 weeks now!
