Saw a Blue RX8 for sale on the lot at Manning and CR42 (Airport Rd) - not sure of the details as I just zipped by - I think it has been there for a bit according to the SO.

That 8 has been abused as a dealer demo for about two years now, I've seen it on 4 lots, but it is always being used by staff. It has been missing the undertray for almost a year. I told the guy at the used car dealership (manning and 42/ across from the pioneer) that it's missing and important, and he told me to mind my own business. I laughed at him and politely told him to f himself.

Just got the car back from the dealer... man... the thing runs smoother than a Kenny G song... lol... they shaved my brake rotors for me too... looks like they re-attached the undertray as well...unfortunately.. they either kept or threw away the old mounts Chad... maybe for warranty proof purposes or something... Sorry dude... guess the beer will have to wait..

Chad did I see you wanted some old mounts to try a mod or two? What are you doing to them? I have the one I replaced ( passenger side) I was going to keep it to try filling with urethane - but I am unlikely to ever do that. Would you like that one? I always have great plans - I still have '95 firebird parts in the garage... it was sold 5 years ago!

Sounds good - yepper that plate relocater would be sweet as well.
Why do we collect so many cars? I just bought another due to the Jeep Liberty dying- in the Firestone shop in the Intensive Care Unit - now replaced by a Wrangler. Good thin the RX* has such good gas economy to balance those two off! (sarcasm)

Hey guys, I'm only 15 years old... so I can't drive my 8 yet... but I was wondering if anyone knows of an honest Rotary Mechanic, that can safety my 8. Also, my stock side skirt is rusting at the very bottom, does anybody know about a side skirt that I can use that covers all the rust that I will grind down? Thanks.

If the part is rusting, it's made of metal and is likely a rocker panel. Just covering it up with a skirt isn't a good idea. It will continue to rust and get worse. Get it fixed right. Does you school have an auto mechanics department? Maybe you can get them to do the body work. Warning, there is usually more rust damage than can be seen from the outside.
