yes another recall. this is for ALL of the rx8's. the newer ones get a pcm reflash, the older cars (older than about 3/05 build), have no fix yet.
the reason for the recall is that the gas tank melts. heat shields may or may not be in shipment/development. Mazda has no parts to fix the older cars yet, and if one shows up at the dealer we're instructed to hold it. there is also a national stop sell so you may or may not be able to even buy one right now. |
how would a PCM reflash stop the tank from melting?

Turn fans on earlier to clear air from under car?
Either way, wicked! Time to start dealing on on-the-lot RX-8's |

what about high rpm high speed runs and then bringing the car to a rest afterwards? wouldn't that cause more heat than any idle map could?
