HMM I have a 8 and it seems like it has a hard time starting sometime but happens quite a bit thank god for warranty should I take her in?

 

If you have a newer car under warrenty,I would take it in for any problems you think it has.Same problem 3 times can fall under a lemon.

 

There are several service buletins and computer reflashes for the repetative "Engine No Start". If you havent been in to update that it may explain some of the problem. The other problem is the cold start which floods the engine (which I did recently) and they replaced the starter with a larger one since it seems to be such a commen problem.

BTW GSX97 -The RX-8s are meeting tomorrow (Dec 21st) at the Sonics on Hillsborough near the Veterans Expy at 6pm. We meet every Wed at the same location. You should swing by and meet some other RX-8 owners.

 

that sounds cool Iam not sure what If I can make it but I might need directions because I am from Bradenton and also dont know anybody up there. Maybe I get to meet some new fellow 8s around.

Here are some additional comments from a fellow 8 owner that drives the same direction:

the directions you gave are correct. Let him know that Dale Mabry is a couple of miles past the airport. He will be travelling East at that time and needs to head NORTH on Dale Mabry. The signs may say East/West Dale Mabry and it gets confusing.

 

hrmph..
