Hey all, just stopping by after my second RX8 purchase. Owned an 04 AT from 2011-13 and then sold it. Ended up buying the same one just a while back. The guy was going on deployment and was looking to sell it, so I picked it up for less than what I sold it... so win?!

A few issues though: Near constant ABS/TC light. They will reset when car is cold, but if the car is turned on shortly after turning back on they will come back. Have had one mechanic say it could be the ABS unit itself going bad, or perhaps as it expands it touches something and creates a ground. Unsure, ABS works when light is off. Replaced the rotors and the pads because they were visibly going. Hoped that might cure the ABS/TC problem. No avail. Replaced with Akebono pads, EBC slotted rotors.

2nd issue: while changing the rear rotors, while taking off the caliper from the hub mount, the right rear one was badly mangled. I was able to get it off and reuse it after mounting the rotor, however I'd like to replace it. Though I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere. Able to find the front (1992 2008 MAZDA5 6 626 etc Disc Brake Caliper Bracket Mounting Bolt New | eBay) but no rear. Any help is greatly appreciated regarding size or getting a hold of one.

3rd issue: cracked passenger dash. I'm guessing this is easy to fix, just replace the item itself. Probably happened from moving from a garage to being parked outside.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or just pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks!
