Has anybody been able to flood the car since the L flash? Does the L flash do anything with gas mileage? I dont drive the car anymore, but I am curious.

You've got to be kidding me... you decide you don't want a car anymore so you're trying to defraud your dealer and/or Mazda by intentionally flooding the car? That's just pathetic. If there's any justice, your RX8 will never flood again...

 

Well at least in his stupidity he posted what he was trying to do here. Good luck getting away with it now that its documented that you are trying to do this on purpose...

 

I'm with G8rboy.

I don't own RX 8 - yet... but that is just a strange thing you got going on man..

Pretty nasty on the car too.

 

The service manager knows whats going on. A 2004 car should not be able to flood.

 

rieskame, are you just trying to get flamed here? Why did you even bother posting this when you know you've just pissed off most of the forum? As jsplit said, if your dealer catches wind of this, your lemon law case is completely screwed. Guys, please don't turn this into a flame war.

 

Warranties and lemon laws really are not going to give you an out if you are the one found to be doing completely idiotic things to cause the problems.

 

Maybe, but that doesn't make it right, and I'll bet MNAO agrees with me. I suppose instead of you taking an ounce of responsibility it's better to flood it. Not too smart announcing your intentions publicly, considering your family's company website is part of your profile- shouldn't be too difficult to deny your lemon law claim now.

 

There is a bit of good news there!

It seems that he actually can't get the RX8 to flood anymore.

 

The WDS will also tell the Tech how many starts and how many miles since last reset.

I'm not sure what the norm is but 20 starts with a small amount of miles wou;d sure get my attention.

 

No my car never flooded before the "L" flash, and it has not after. Sorry Elara this guy is a nimrod.

 

Starting a car is not idiotic

 

Aww, you edited your initial post.

This type of starting is idiotic in my book:

 

Without using every swear I know....


Um...I don't like you...and your scheme will backfire on you...I hope.


What a jerk....

I work at a dealer and I hate to see idiots trying to pull one over on them....

 

HAHA that is weak as all hell... um now im not trying to intentionally flood my car, thanks to the edit feature. Really I will make a post that says "Starting a car is not idiotic".

NOW EVERYONE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!!!

... nimrod.

 

elara could you lock or delete this thread?

 

Too damn funny... cover those tracks before dad finds out!!!
Too bad someone already quoted it. Let me do it one more time for good luck...

 

Location was edited also

Indiana I think...

 

Very strange... things like 'Go Boilers' and his family's company website are missing, too. Now will he have the foresight to clean up the posts that mention the dealer he's trying to pull this on? I would expect more from a Purdue grad!

I like the part that states this.


IC 24-5-13-18
Sec. 18. It is an affirmative defense to any claim under this chapter that:
(1) the nonconformity, defect, or condition does not substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the motor vehicle; or
(2) the nonconformity, defect, or condition is the result of abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modification or alteration of the motor vehicle by the buyer.

I would love this guy in my shop.

 

come on everybody- lets help this guy to get his car flooded! WHere's the team spirit around here.

Maybe if we all chant "One flood to go, one flood to go..."
he'll get his wish and we'll get ours- to get him the "flood" out of here.

I guess the good news in all this is that the L flash does help with flooding.

 

It is actually quite easy to purposely flood a vehicle if you know how. Any vehicle. It says alot about the intellegence and ability of a person when they can't purposely do something. If I wanted to I could get that engine to flood. I'm not going to say how here though.

There is only one other way to flood it and that involves a large body of water but I don't think that will help the issue.

The comment about it being 2004 and that a car shouldn't flood, well it can so get over it. It doesn't mean that it will though. I've said it once and I'll keep saying it over and over again until some moron finally tatoos it on his forehead. The rotary engine is an unconventional engine. It is not unreasonable to think that it may possibly behave slightly different than the conventional and that it may require special treatment. It doesn't mean that it will though. Those that can't accept this should go out and buy something else.

If you are unhappy with your purchase, sell it. Don't let someone else take the hit on your error. They didn't force you to buy it but you are trying to force them to take it back. Dealerships exist to sell cars and help you fix them if something goes wrong. They aren't there as a shoulder for you to cry on if you find you've made the wrong decision.

 

You are so pathetic you can not even do the deed yourself but you have to have your dad do it. Sad. If you plan on being a lowlife, do your own dirty work. Does your family do all its business this way?

Somebody please tell me what company their website was for so that I can be sure to not accidently do business with them.

 

hmm why doesn't he like his rx8? rx8s are tight...

 

Dude, here's an easy way to flood ur engine and make sure it wont start:

Remove your spark plugs and snap off the electrodes and contacts, then fill em up with high-temp silicon compound and dielectric grease.

While your spark plugs are removed, proceed to dump large amounts of vegetable oil and water into the spark plug receptacles, thus flooding the engine.

After replacing the spark plugs to their incorrect positions, slice the spark plug wires at multiple locations with a razor blade to ensure misfire, should the flooded motor somehow dry itself out.

I *guarandamntee* your car will never start again.
