strange, i wonder if something is automatically popping the trunk, ie the alarm when just unlocking the car. was it cured for at least a short period of time? i was rather surprised how many amps the car draws with the trunk ajar, it sucks up more amps than with the interior lights all on. try checking the trunk to see if it isn't latched if/when the lights don't chirp with the remote.

that may point us towards the trunk being released somehow without reason(the amp draw was reasonable for everything except the trunk issue, it was in the neighborhood of 5-7amps with the trunk not latched and .070amps with it latched. average limit is .050 amps with the car asleep but at .070 amps draw it would still take weeks to discharge).

dont know if they will call it rx7 but rumors say sometime 2017. i did find this a while ago which leads to much hope of a rotary powered car coming back soon...

I've researched the hell out of this for the last few years, here's the short and sweet:

16x engine, 1.6 Liter rotary (MAZDA:16X | The Rotary Engine)
Modified Miata wheelbase (being worked on with Fiat)
Skyactiv high-tensile steel all around
US most likely will get the 2-seater, Japan gets the 2+2 layout
Capacitators will be used for regenerative braking, like the new Mazda 6
Electric turbo has been talked about a lot, so forced induction hopefully
Starting price should be right over 25K
Release date is 2017, 50th anniversary of the Cosmo

any other details I missed, feel free to share links!

and this would be the second featured rotary car to commit suicide while being documented.

but then again, how ignorant of building a car do you have to be to have it burn down shortly after finishing it... i have never had a car catch fire. shows that any retard can dump a ton of money into flashy parts but still fail to build a car.

Just in-case anyone here locally is interested. I will be selling my 19" Rays rims from my 370z shortly. I put an add up on the West Region For Sale area. Let me know if you are interested. Not sure if fitment will work for the 8's but they fit on Scion Tc's so I don't see why not on RX-8's.
