newbie!

Im new to this rx8 stuff. My now wife bought an 04 when we were still dating. We were given all crazy wrong info when we bought it and even mazda didn't seem to know anything about these cars. We had some work done at one place that claimed to know them and turned out to be a waste of money. Found out the compression was bad at 60k miles. We debated a ls2 swap and then realized it was gonna be close to 20k to have it done. We eventually found Banzai-Racing and since we live in northern indiana we were excited to see how close they are to us! Chris is in the process of rebuilding it now. Its an auto with the winning blue color. Rims and borla exhaust is all that is done ao far. Not sure what there really is to do to an auto but it still is fun to drive.

Yeah, new owner's get bitten easily. Take a read through the new owner's thread when you can, though it looks like you probably got on the right path now.

No idea, I'm not out that way, check the midwest threads near you, bump your local thread with a question if you need to.
