this thursday....new esco spot meet up at 8am hang till whenever

 

this will be the last meet of the year with holidays coming up this thursday at the new esco location - would like to see a good showing of rotaries to close out the year

 

Nothing but bad news on the RX-8.

1.) Mazda corporate says I have to buy a BRAND NEW ECU because supposedly they can't just flash/force load the vehicle ID and make the ECU tune back to stock. So that's about ~$900 for a new ECU.

2.) Mazdatrix won't warranty their labor to swap in a new motor

3.) So that means I have to pay the Mazda dealership ~$1,400 labor + ~$900 for a new ECU.

= THEN Mazda will at least warranty their parts AND labor...

So yeah, I'm pretty pissed/bummed.

The RX-7 is at least nearing completion.





My hope is that they have it running within the year. There's always issues coming up, of course. Wiring/pinout issues...various parts...you know how this stuff goes.

meh.... -_-;;

 

Have you thought about sending the ecu to Racing Beat to have them reflash it?

 

I need it to be warrantied by Mazda. They will NOT do the motor warranty replacement unless I purchase a brand new ECU. That was decided by the District Manager for the SouthWest region of Mazda...I don't have a choice, if I want my motor to be replaced under warranty.

 

When's the next San Diego meet?

I should be picking up my RX-8 from the dealership on Saturday, finally. I'd love to meet up with y'all again!

 

I'd love to attend a San Diego meet =), is there one scheduled for January?

 

The January lunch meet in Pt Loma was the first Saturday of this month...doneski
BUT we have a cruise for Sunday the 24th to Escondido...
