That sucks. Are you going to send it to Mazda to get it replaced or are you going to rebuild it yourself?

<- Another out-of-stater


Quick question. Any of you in the Miami area willing and able to check out a Miata in person for me? I am on the verge of buying it anyway, and flying down in 2 weeks to drive it back home, but thought I would ask here. A 3rd party opinion from someone in the community would be very valuable.

It's literally across the street from Miami International Airport, south side.

Send me a PM if you would be willing.

Thanks.

I wish I had that kinda hook up...I am at 93K miles and I have low compression. Sounds like an AA meeting for high mileage rotaries...My name is Chris and I have low compression...LMAO!!!

I havent had the chance to take it to Mazda yet but I will within the next month or so. I hope they warranty the motor. If not I may do something somewhat stupid/crazy.

Yeah but if I do it I may get flogged by the rotards.

I honestly don't know what I am going to do...If Mazda covers the engine I may keep it and go on the cheap side and just add a super charger or I may sell the motor and trans and well do something crazy depending on my funds.

Maybe I'll talk to Angel...he might be able to lead me in the right direction. Either way I am keeping the car itself...Hence my restoration signature below...
