How exactly does the warranty stuff work? Could you get reimbursement for a certain amount and source the work elsewhere? Or will it only allow them to replace the engine? I don't see why they wouldn't reimburse you up to the value of the engine replacement costs, instead of actually having to do it all. Obviously, you would want the approval for engine replacement first.

Hi, I wanted to introduce myself to the locally sarx lounge... my name is Juan, yes another Juan in SA with an RX8, I've lived in SA for over 8 years now recently retired from the Army, making SA my home. I'm from NY raised in PR where Rotary power have ongoing war with the pistons. I'm a shade tree mechanic as hobby, haven't played much with rotory engines, so I'm a newby in rotory power. I recently purchased an 05, base coupe automatic, due to knee issues can really enjoy a manual. Hoping to learn from you guys and make some new friends on the way...! I hope I post this in the right place, already got scalded in a nice way... ja ja ja take care and be safe out there..Juan (4th) .aka "NYRICAN"

But just hang around, read the threads in my sig and the sticky threads at the top of each subforum and you will gain a lot of knowledge. Performance wise there is not a lot for a 4 port auto but there are plenty of other things you can do.

thanks, roger that been reading around and trying to get some info already... i know the auto, will not get much from performance upgrades, just looking for some sound inprovement and intake... was looking at a catback system and a cold air intake from injen, that has the back cover making the engine bay look clean. but was not sure if the intake will require any other mods to the computer, etc... again thanks lots of good info, got to keep looking around and learn where to find the info... thanks.

Also, one of the fastest street driven RX-8's in the country is local to SA and driven by a Puerto Rican
His name is Tito, he used to own Alamo Rotary and he has a 3 Rotor 20B Turbo RX-8.
