Thanks for the input fellas... well the verdict is IN:
Need new engine - Bad compression
Gave them all necessary oil change receipts right after I brought her in. (<--since i knew they'd ask) They replaced my coils under my extended warranty w/ $100 deductable, they re-used my plugs and wires (since i told them it wasn't necessary just to do the compression test, so he got the tech to continue w/ the compression test)... after turning in the results to Mazda, they got response to change out engine.... I should be picking up a loaner/rental sometime today/tomorrow.
...now to shop around for the plugs and wires
Oh, and Courtesy (People's) Mazda in Centennial is no longer a Mazda dealership... GMC next door picked up Mazda. Courtesy in Hendo is the only other one now.... just a FYI (and Peter is still in Courtesy until next week or so... so I'm dealing w/ Doug)

When I got my 8 I never went back to the stealership but for recalls and a hand few of service works. But everytime I took the blue demon in Pete remembered me and my 8.
The last time I went there was when I got my engine replaced about six months back. That sucks Peter is leaving. Frocken Duggy fresh will eat your children.
I took my 8 in and told Pete whats up. Then a week later took it back and in one day they had my 8 ready with a new engine. I only need to use a friends car for one day
Pete was great and really took care of me.

We just picked up a clean 5 speed 1984 Volvo GL (Wagon) RWD SOHC.
Plans are to swap a 1993 V8 5.0 from a Mustang in it. That engine bolts right up to the tranny. Swap options are endless with this car. I found the V8 I need for $400 obo in Hindo
.Also wheel hubs that will give me 5x4.5 so I can run a more commen wheel set up. This will also give me the RX-8 wheel hub bolt pattern. Lowering springs more like slammed springs haha. Sway bars endlinks (kinda). Cut and weld the fender wells so we can run some 225 17's with a sick off set. I may have left out some stuff. But its a 4 door so its good for the fam.
Let the madness begin!
My Flux Capacitor is slipping and if you have ever seen my engine bay you know it aint no easy task getting to it. There are a few other repairs that need to be done before Seven Stock.

Actually I am pretty busy at work but, I had to do all of the grammatical corrections in my head when I read your post anyways, so I figured I translate it for everyone else. You hanging with Ryan too much or something?

New transmission is FINALLY on the way! 23K and only synthetic fluid was supposedly ever used. Here's hoping this thing fixes all of my transmissions issues I have had the past year. God it would be great to have a fully functional Kasumi!!!
I'd actually start entertaining mods if this all works out! I may need help installing it so anyone up for it give me a holler, it will be here next week.
