Alan, this does not sound like a good idea for a project car. Just my $0.00002, but sell it quick and get yourself an s2k, miata or similar to turn into a track / auto-x toy.

I appreciate the suggestion but I'm wasn't really looking for another car ... I might just sell it and give the $$ back to the estate. BTW I don't know if you remember but I had an S2000, see the link below, I wasn't a fan and sold it pretty much as soon as the title came in. http://forums.carmudgeons.com/showth...ighlight=s2000 |
I love this thread!

On a almost serious note I read up a lot on modding this car and this is not a car to mod ... seriously big bucks probably 4 times what it is worth to mod it ($20k and up) and thats only the engine and nothing to do with the rest of the car ... paint, interior, etc. I spoke to the servicing dealer and my step father did quite a bit of maintenance to it which includes replacing the catalytic converter, spark plugs, coils and more. Car is getting flat bedded to the dealer this weekend and we will see what the issue is. |

I'm not in a bidding war for the car. You'd need to pay me five figures to take it, so, you know. :D Coils can go out pretty quick. I blew one (or two?) out in my first autocross in mine when I had barely any time or miles on it (and most of that driving to Koni's shop and back). Good luck. Will be following along. |

Crappy coils and mazdas mounting scheme. There are aftermarket solutions that solve the problem.

He was also a major car guy with some crazy car stories ... he was into autocrossing when he was younger and we shared a love for cars which is why he left the RX8 to me ... we would talk and I told him if you ever get rid of this car let me know first !! |
