Suspension Adjustments
Hey All,
I recently purchased an 06 Rx8 Shinka Edition and it is in really great condition. Previous owner added a aftermarket suspension to it and said it needed adjusted because when you hit a bump the rear would sway a bit. It is majorly noticeable on the highway. So I took it into a shop had it looked at. They adjusted the suspension, coilovers to the same, and did a chassis alignment. After the adjustments the car still sways but does driver better. We are thinking the sway bar may be too small if it was ever changed or if the after market suspension needs to be adjusted different (currently all shocks and coilovers are the same height).
Please feel free to let me know your thoughts or if you have ever had similar issues! Thanks

The sway bar doesn't really help with sway in the way you describe it. The stock bar is plenty, some people even remove it entirely. You can disconnect the endlinks and see if it changes anything. What do you mean by "sway" exactly?
What brand of suspension is on there?

Noticed a broken bolt on the exhaust mani. Tried everything but welding a nut to it to get it out. Besides disconnecting the batt is there anything else I should do before welding on the engine? Im doing this while it's still in the car aswell.

for resistance I noticed there was power to the room fuse but not through the harness side and one of the injector plugs was broken explained the fuel issue I had so now I'm thinking it's the in between connection from fuse to harness I believe the fuse box is where they connect have to look at the diagram again

how much would it be worth you think?
How much is a 2005 nordic green rx8 worth?
~90k on the odometer.
salvaged title
rust on the side skirts and wheel arches
black and tan leather interior
gps, heated seats
still runs good
possibly had a new engine put in it at ~70k because of a recall.
no other mods known.
other details needed???

Ok I replaced the harness now the car won't start. Double checked connections fuses ect can't find a problem. Took it to the shop, the dealership (bad idea I know), and the best mechanic in town that I know of. Lastly my cousins shop, and nobody can figure out why it doesn't start everything is connected correctly. Everyone is coming to the same conclusion that it's the PCM. Yet the pcm worked perfectly fine before the engine harness change. The engine is giving the code n_n________ no connection with pcm. Dealership said they tried to connect with the pcm and couldnt.

Did you check the room fuse in the interior fuse box?. It supplies PCM power and if it's blown the car won't start

Too old for PC
The OMP is controlled by the ECU (computer.). If it’s like the 3rd Gen. RX7’s it’s both RPM and load dependent, probably using input from the TPS. An option to the above might be to just pre-mix 2-cycle oil at no more than 1/2 oz. @ gallon, guesstimating at the gas pump. Know that if you have periodic emissions testing where you live, the risk of failing goes up. Maybe someone else will chime in with experience, but it may be a bit hard on a stock catalytic converter as well.
