you told me it ran horrible. the intake will only mess with the idle a little if any at all. but it does not affect how it runs. If the car runs like this all the time now, I am betting you will put the stock intake on and it will do the exact same thing.
how long have you been driving with that intake?

It's the same problem others have had to deal with.
If you go to the dealer w/ aftermarket parts, they'll say it's those parts that are affecting the performance.
The only way around it is to switch it back and try again.
Besides, I'm sure Romero has a bad taste in their month regarding RX8's.

yeah, looks like you have two options.
1) try fighting it and explain to them that the intake has been in there for 6 months, and it has yet to give you a problem..... yada yada yada.
2) just replace the intake with the stock one, and take it back.

Loren: Talk to the Service Manager or go to another dealership. I've had my car serviced PLENTY of times with my RB and they've never said anything.

of course.... the meets are not for people who are racers. it is intended for people that just want to get together hang out with some new friends, see some cool cars (rotarys), go for a small drive, and have lunch.
It's a lot of fun. you are more then welcome to come out and meet the group!

Spartan, go ahead and go to the first post...and you'll see links to pics from each of our meets. You can see some of the things your interested in their.
Or you could look at our calendar from last year
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/calendars-new-year-these-jan-through-may-79855/
Things have changed for a couple of us...
our current calendar thread is up too...there are pics there to look through as well.
"the 06-07 San Bernardino Calendar Project".
I first came to the meets to see the MS kit in person. Then, after meeting the people, going on the drive...was hooked. Malibu is a good place to go as well. I've done it alot, and have hung it up for awhile there...was getting too much going out there every month.
