ok yesterday i called the local mazda dealership to find a new inhibitor switch (neutral safety switch). the parts manager answered and i told him what i needed. then he asked me what car it was for and i said an 89 rx-7 automatic. he paused for a second then asked is that the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder model? i said i think its a rotary??

 

Hah, he's a newb!

 

lmfao... Nice to know we have the professionals backing us up at Mazda.

 

I got the same question when I ordered a plenum gasket...It ended up taking almost 45 minutes(having to explain what kind of motor i had) to order the gasket...some people just dont know what it is...Plus, when they look parts up in the comp, it shows 0 cylinders...which could be a good reason why he asked...

 

haha i remember when my friend ben broke thee fuel door off his FD and went to the same dealership that tramell did looking for a new one, the guy was was like.....is it a four or a six cylinder model...haha maybe it was the same guy shane.

 

maybe so. the way i see it is. if it was like a couple of years ago when there were no rotary cars being sold here then i could maybe understand it. but with the rx-8 out theres no excuse. hes just an idiot

 

All they have to do is look it up in the computer. There isn't going to be any options other than a rotary. What a dumbass.

 

thats what i figured

 

lol it probably says in the computer

0 cyl

4 cyl

6 cyl



LoL



When they ask how much cylinders say as much as the RX-8.

 

good idea
