thanks been surfing on here n the rx7club forum for a while. The car is amazing but got a question. Warranty is still good for another 7 months and the car has under 30,000 miles. Kinda scared to get some of the recalls checked out but i do notice the car can take some time starting up sometimes around 10 secs. Is this that infamous flooding issue?

The 04s have a pretty long list of fix its. My car takes a second to start up. 10 seconds is TOO LONG. Maybe the starter/battery recall wasn't taken care of.

yea titanium grey is a sexy color. Ok 10 seconds maybe an exaturation but SOMETIMES it will take a few seconds to start up ( not from a cold start). Gas mileage is pretty shitty but i expected that, will an intake help my gas milage ?

Definitely take it in to get the TSB's and recalls done. I had the battery/starter one done a few months ago, and it really made a pretty big difference. Fires right up every time now!
