Man! How many times have you painted your car? Everytime I see it, it's a different color! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

For those who remember my car's issues...I took the car to Wayne at Lincoln-Mazda of Olympia.





The guy has had my car for fewer than 4 hours.



Pulled the cat - PIECES fell out. He drove around w/o the cat for awhile - PLENTY of power. he's going to Next-Day-Air a cat to me...AND get me that starter and new battery for the hard-start issues I'd been having....issues the OTHER dealer would NOT fix because I notched out a piece of my battery cover to run a power wire. The OTHER dealer said that little notch is causing the hard-start issues and therefore won't be covered.



wow....It's SO refreshing to NOT have to BEG a dealership to work on a car.



(sigh).





Nemesis8 - YOU the man.





Milam Mazda, Puyallup had the car for TWO DAYS and was afraid to even diagnose the problem. Milam told me "the intake and exhaust MAY have caused a problem, therefore the entire engine warranty would be voided."



They said that in spite of me calling them out on it - Magnusen-Moss Act states pretty clearly a warranty can't be voided SIMPLY by using aftermarket parts, unless the parts were SHOWN to cause the failure. Milam refused to cover the car w/o showing cause.



Needless to say, I have a new dealer.

glad you got your car figured out!!





ya i first tried to do the dyno after the lockup on that rx8 and it tried to stop me too.. .. they went back to a previous software version and the problem went away. for the rest of the people

Yo, yo, Here's some relevant "dyno info". https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

And here's a short and crappy montage-video of my Turbo II on the dyno, my Turbo II racing the Galant VR4 (check the story and mods at the Rx7club.com "kills section" or 2nd. Gen. time-slips and dyno) and my Turbo II racing the 350z from a roll.
