I saw that. I may or may not go depending on how clean I can get the car.
I will definately be attending the Charity Autocross the day after though

I'm gonna Run the Wilson Circuit over at Beaverun on Sat instead of the NORA Charity thing.
I gotta tell you. Doing that circuit is the single most fun thing I 've done in the car. I HIGHLY recommend it if anyone else wants to go. It's like an autocross without cones on a racetrack. Best of both worlds.

I've run the Wilson Circuit a couple times before, it is definately a fun little "track"
One of these days I'm gonna get back out there and run it again (haven't run in the RX-8 yet)

Well I think I solved my issue, or masked it. Either way. I richened up my idle in the emanage (Which I read up that you can't do) and made it burn nice and rich at idle, smoothed it out once the ecu learned it. In other words I need to buy an accessport.

My friend came across this i thought it was pretty funny..
"The Rx8 is like the prom queen. Sweet, sensual, and you love her.
The 350z is like the school ****. Low quality but you still ride her brains out."

okay guys i took my car to mazda today after put my stock cat back on, even tho its plugged. and even telling them i knew it was the cat by testing it with another pipe, bringing in papers about the warranty that i got from MNAO they still said the cause for it is my typhoon intake and exhaust. so idk how im gonna get my cat replaced. this sucks

i dont have the stock exhaust. i have the intake though but my dad never picked up the exhaust after the new one was put on so i dont have it.
i went to montrose mazda on brookpark and afterwards i called MNAO and they took the dealers side. said some **** like with an aftermarket exhaust replacing the cat is gonna cost 1200.
and what do you mean by flagging my car there?

Isn't that cat covered for 75,000 miles or something like that?? Even if you bought the car used with a separate warranty with Serpentini (who is falling apart IMO lol), you should still have en exisiting Mazda Warranty effective through the standard time periods. What's your mileage at?

Right I get that.. I was just saying, so in case someone can loan him maybe a stock exhaust to put on temporarily so he can take it in and try and get warranty on it.

I have my stock exhaust at my parents. It's right down the street from him. However they likely flagged him and made note of why. If they did, and we put the stock stuff back on, we could be looking at criminal charges of fraud, which is totally not cool!
What is the problem with your cat anyway?

He has an 04 or 05. They could have noted it...and they would ask him about it and he would just have to say that he must have misunderstood what the last guy said about them not supporting it because his intake and exhaust were on the car.
