yeah maybe, we're figuring to do between 2-5 engines, mazda says 1% failure rate + 200ish cars + our greedy fudge factor....



ive got like 6-7 PAIRS of taillights, they do collect water, but otherwise are good



and ive got like 50-60 good starters....

why? as usual nobody knows it, but they've been endurance racing the rx8's since they came out, i guess they do just fine in a 24 hour race, its just not a good dialy driver

Hmm...now I'm just trying to figure out if I should hope I have the problem and get a new engine, or if I should hope I don't have the problem, so I don't have the local dealerships mucking about on my car.



Decisions decisions.
