Ahhh...
Good 'ol Romero Mazda.
I went there for an oil change.
The manager at the service counter didn't know what a rotary was.

Can't imagine ever going back there for anything.

Good Luck -

I could only imagine how much some of us would have if they still counted the west forums.

New news bad news, the rack and pinion part won't be in till wednesday not too mention that part is almost the same cost of my orginal repairs ($2300 orginally, rack $1500)....I have to get a rental and I might get my car back next week. Thanks all for the condolences. I now didnt have my car for Christams and I wont have it for my birthday either, BUT AT LEAST I HAVE THE MONTH OF MARCH!

About the posts, yeah that is too bad cause i am catching up to KC in a hurry.

So I might be having a conflict for next months meet, Any insight on what we would be doing KC/Viper?

The clip that lifts up the center console had broken, so the only two ways i was able to close it up was by either pressing down on the button, or lifting up the sliding part. it's all good though. the new console i'm guessing is from an '05 model RX-8. i'm guessing that because the sliding clips look entirely different from the one i had previous.

yea, i'm not too fond of how their service is set up. i really only go there because it's convenient. The only person i do trust there is Andy. I feel he takes care of me best compared to all the other service reps/managers at romero. I've never taken my car in for an oil change as i do those myself. Though, i'm at 32k miles already and i got the "30k mile fluid replacment" coupon/flyer from romero not too long ago. lol...i ended up throwing that away

don't recall it, but do love the headlight conversion. Any chance that this would help the new turbo build up?

anyone interested in going to the D1 in Irwindale tomorrow. Looks like there is a meet up in Walnut area in the early morning for breakfast at Denny's. I may just go since I don't really have any definate plans for Saturday yet. I'm gonna go wash my car, yah, I know its 7:00 and its dark...but at least it isn't raining.

Oh, and I want to see if I can buff out the scratches I got on myu bumper from freeway debris Wednesday. I think it cracked my foglight as well, as it has been fogging up. I wonder if this is covered under warranty?

Yep, he was right next to me on the lawn.
Unfortunately, when he was trying to park it there, he dragged this rear bumper, and thrashed it pretty good.
It tore a gash about 12" long on it.

Here's the pic Speed took.
You can see the tear on the passanger side of the rear bumper.
