95% of power steering issues cost $0 to fix yourself. Even if you take the 8 to a mechanic, Mazda or otherwise, you will have to tell them what is wrong, as well as how to fix it. Otherwise you are going to be paying with your own body parts. ($2,000 for a steering rack, $1,200-$1,700 for the control module, etc...).
Do some power steering searches through Google (site:rx8club.com power steering) and you will quickly find the common issues and solutions. It's usually just a contaminated connector that can be cleaned.
