The owner has the certificate of authenticity from the movie studio.

yeah, the one they used for the driving scenes was an Automatic FD.
I think I remember seeing it sold on ebay by the studio a while back.

So I just got back home. Had to make a detour to Lake Havasu City.

I just want to say I had a great time in SoCal. Good to see all the old friends and make a helluva lot of new friends.

SOCAL ROCKS!

Except for your 70 mile long bumper to bumper traffic jams.

For those of you who haven't already done so, head on over to www.blackhaloracing.com and check out Flashwing's Dyno Day Recap in his blog section.
It's a good read with some fun pictures.

I figured my car would eventually end up on BHR's website but this is not how I envisioned it happening.

Sorry to hear about your engine, same thing happened to me. I had no CEL and motor blew, white smoke coming out the exhaust and engine bay. Come to find out that the Catalytic converter never threw a CEL and it went out on me creating back pressure and blowing the engine. I asked the dealership why it never threw a CEL and they had nothing to report. So now I have a new engine installed costing $4600 and a hollowed out CAT because to replace it was $1400. It ran real rough until the computer got use to having no CAT. Now it runs normal and has a CEL. But when I sent an email to Mazda they replied back that its a problem they will look into and if it shows as a defect then they will refund me the money and issue a recall. Not that it will happen because there are a lot of problems with the RX8 that should of had a recall in my opinion. Anyway your not alone with this problem. Just got a PM from a guy with a 4port AT reporting the same thing.
