1.) Mazda corporate says I have to buy a BRAND NEW ECU because supposedly they can't just flash/force load the vehicle ID and make the ECU tune back to stock. So that's about ~$900 for a new ECU.
2.) Mazdatrix won't warranty their labor to swap in a new motor
3.) So that means I have to pay the Mazda dealership ~$1,400 labor + ~$900 for a new ECU.
= THEN Mazda will at least warranty their parts AND labor...
So yeah, I'm pretty pissed/bummed.
The RX-7 is at least nearing completion.
My hope is that they have it running within the year. There's always issues coming up, of course. Wiring/pinout issues...various parts...you know how this stuff goes.
meh.... -_-;;

I need it to be warrantied by Mazda. They will NOT do the motor warranty replacement unless I purchase a brand new ECU. That was decided by the District Manager for the SouthWest region of Mazda...I don't have a choice, if I want my motor to be replaced under warranty.
