Well, Keith warrantied my steering column issue and I have a new steering column. A plastic bearing had come out of place and the steering wheel had about 3 inches of play, UP AND DOWN, and there was a big dead spot when turning the wheel.
Much better now. The part that was broken was non-serviceable.

Seals Gone bad..Lost of alot of power.. Mazda replaces it... If u get it asked them to check on the history of the car and see if it would have had a new engine installed in it.. If not tell them that u have heard a few of them with motors going out in them with around ... I heard 40k ... to 60k miles on them.. Then they would let u know if they could replace it if it goes out.. My new motor and exhaust if im not mistaken has 100 k miles warranty on it. The cat got stopped up on mine too. Find out how many miles is the engine and other parts of the vehicle is warranty to, such as exhaust, suspension.etc..It helps to know this alot.

I has a funnie!!!
So I'm hanging ceiling fans tonight. Yes, close to finished painting. I should have an 8 party here. Let's shoot for November, possibly earlier. I'd prefer burgers instead of a boil. Anyways...
So I go the discount zone close to my house to get 9v battieries for the remote control fan (hate remote control fans) since it's the only thing open.
Some guy in a del sol wants to run. He has an si del sol. Impressive.
He asks me...I **** you not...
"so what do you have in there...a v6?"
I told him 2x, rotary. 2nd time he goes "really?"
It was not worth wasting my $3.83/gal gas. Or was it? He took off all squealing and I thought about dumping the clutch, but I was restrained (since I had a couple of cocktails in me).

Metry near parish line, off of veterans.
I'm more than happy to host a meet as soon as I can get this place finished. I'm getting close. Still hanging fans tonight. Last night was a bitch. Hole for ceiling box was too big, so I stopped in one room so I could get some ceiling medallions today. Then I had to paint them.
R/C fans are just annoying. You have to fit the Rx in the fan support, so it's a pain getting the wires stuffed into the box properly. Last night I just kind of gave up. And then I did a lot of shopping this weekend to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. So now I have a shitload of stuff to install/put together, etc.
Less than a year until I get an R3. ;p

A del sol cut me off one time and all u heard was his foot in it and the loud exhaust. but to me it was like one of them matrix scenes. its like slow mo and im like waiting for his car to take on off and pull ahead of mine. but it didnt. all he done was pollute the front of mine with exhaust. I should have passed him back but i didnt

Well I talk to the service guy over the phone an they try to pull a fast one on me an try to void my warrenty cuz I had the RP Super cat on. Telling me that could be the reason why my engine was failing. Told me they put in the computer that I had that mod on my car. Talking about I had to come up with 5k for the engine. I was mad *** hell. I was going to go incredible hulk on his as but I cooled down an waited until I went down there. So anyway soon as I open the door service guy tells me. Ok heres the deal we took that stuff about your car having that mod out of the system. Told me put the stock cat back on see how it runs if it stills runs the same bring it back an we can do more test. And if you need an engine we will replace it. I find that kind of odd besides the serious lag an no power below5k my engine seems to be ok I mean all I may need is new coil packs. I know I'm been over due. RX-8 coils don't last very long. Engine never stall or anything just feels kinda sluggish. I think the the dealer was trying to get over by saying I need a new engine say engine has low compression but wanted to do more test (check an see if I have any after market parts an blame it on them) then get a phone call saying we are going to void your warrenty cuz you have an after market part on an its damaging your engine now pay us 5k. Probably fearing that I was going to go over their heads an call North American Mazda. Hmmm change their minds an seeing that I have I nice history of bringing my car to them for some type of defect I had with it (no mods then an still had problems) I got my service sheet from them before I left you know the one where they show what all they done to the car.Theres no where on that sheet where it said they did a compresson check. I think its all BS. I'll put the stock cat back on an bring it back to them but I wouldn't be suprise if they told me all I need was new coil packs.

no power under 5k? sounds like 1 of 2 things.....
1. your cats are clogged up....and since u have rp supercat i doubt it.....
or 2. one of your rotors is starting to slip on the essentric shaft...which is a major problem.....
