Yes well having a bunny is pretty impossible. Do you know how fast they multiply? Pretty soon my apartment will be overrun by bunnies.

YOU CAN MAKE SOUP EVERY WEEK!!!!!

Why does everyone call that fixed? If that happened to me I'd consider it broken.

If you could use all the energy in my little one, boy would that car go!!! He's such a hyper little thing, flying all over the house, popping up in the air. He never seems to get tired and just keeps on going, and going, and going, and going..............LOL

Last time I was in West Kapelle in the Netherlands, I walked by a house that had a doghouse outside surrounded by a play-pen type fence.
The doghouse said "FLYMO" over it.
Then, suddenly, out bounded this 30 pound monstrosity of a rabbit. This thing was easily 2 feet long not including the ears.
Well, bounded might not be the correct word. Loped is probably better.

Flymo, the killer rabbit.

He should have been recalled for Weight Watchers.

Yet another page-topper for me.

My bunnies don't smell. They are litter box trained and use Fresh Step Scoop. LOL Bunny poop is like a hard little piece of gravel. Does not smell and is not "moist." The only thing that can slightly have an odor is an ammonia smell with urine, but the litter takes care of it. The only time I have noticed that bunnies seem to smell are when they are left caged with wood shavings (which produces a sort of chemical reaction to urine which causes odor) or when their cage isn't kept clean. My bunnies only go in their cages at night. Otherwise they run around the house free. I have a Netherland dwarf, so he only weighs 2-1/2 pounds. My other bunny is a Netherland dwarf mix (not sure with what) and she weighs 7-1/2 pounds but she is fat and old now.

I've never noticed that with mine or with the bunnies of friends. Maybe it is because all of ours have been "snipped" or how they are housed.

It seems to me,( after tired in reading this whole thread) if you keep the oil level always at the max, you probably will avoid all the engine problems. There are so much oil between the max and the min level. More oil means better cooling for the engine and it's parts, so its really matter to keep at max the oil level. I think, top it up after every second fuel (empty to max) filling!

Hell now I am paranoid.

I had this RPM drop ONCE!. But I have been travelling a lot lately, and so havent been able to drive it, its been in the garage.

I love my RX8, but I am really thinking I should have gotten the STi now..... ugh.

And I was planning on getting the AxeCharger....... now that doesnt seem like such a good idea.

And now because of all these issues, I wont be able to sell it for ****.

And my wife told me this was a bad idea....... damn it damn it damn it.

How about all recall threads get closed till letters get sent. Posts like the one above are just plain ridiculous.
There isn't any real news on the subject and most dealers know less than us.

I'd run like hell if you "snipped" me, too! :P

Why don't all you whiners go out and trade your cars for a horse and buggy-maybe then you don't have to worry about engine replacements. Or better yet, walk your sorry asses to work if you are so damn worried about it! You are flipping out over something we only know a little about.

If my engine needs to be replaced, can I pick the replacement? I've had my eye on this Cosworth V-8 for a long time. 950hp, weighs next to nothing.

Well, maybe not my first engine failure, but eventually.
Once the car is closer to "old" - maybe 3 or 4 years.
Hah...... Trade out zoom zoom for vroom vroom. Built 3 of them now and it's the perfect combo of chassis and engine.

I keep mine topped off, this isn't this issue. Insufficient oil being injected is the problem.


Everybody else who isn't having the problem needs to relax and wait and READ the informative posts. You would know if you were having the problem, it is very obvious. If you aren't you probably never will. Mazda is going to fix this. If you love the car (which is only a car), does it really matter anyway? With all the problems in the world right now, this is nothing. Get over it. At least this one has a solution.

Zoom, please don't go insane. Thanks.
