    S-Plan on Mazdaspeed3 being nixed even on future deliveries?

    A-Plan and X-Plan both convert to S Plan if I remember correctly from the days when I had X plan. So many plans so little time.. The story will probably be no S Plan for the first few months while the orders are satisfied, lets face it, it's bad business to sell a car for a lower price when...

    Mazda needs volunteers to drive an auto RX8 and get paid

    Sorry Phil, age is the most important one (everyone is either male or female right?? ;)). Also, I got a call from Boshart this evening finalizing my time slot, so I think it's all pretty much over. I hope at least one person on here was able to get a slot! BTW Mallard - Welcome to...

    Mazda needs volunteers to drive an auto RX8 and get paid

    Belive it or not there are quite a few auto rx8 owners (braindead (i know.. whats the point?!) Not only is it an automatic but it has LESS HP then the manual... To each his own. I think they are just trying to gain a cost advantage using the same trans in the Miata as they are in the RX8, one...

    Mazda needs volunteers to drive an auto RX8 and get paid

    All, I just spoke with Boshart (they procure vehicles for Mazda NA as well as find participants for mazda sponsored studies) and they still need people for testing. Part of the email I received: Quote: <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=6 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=alt2...

    What type of oil in your RX-8?

    I spoke with one of the Mazda Techs who works on RX8's and he said that syn is ok to use in an 8 and in his OPINION it wasn't worth the cost. In my 8 I use Castrol GTX 5W20, a $20 oil change every 3k miles isn't bad at all and an additional $2 for a quart between changes. It's all up to...

    Got an interesting email from the dealer...

    The delay as far as I am concerned is not worthy of mentioning.. Mostly because no one knows how long it will be.. Could be next week, could be next year.. If they do have to recert, how long does it take.. I dont know so I'm not worried about that.. I am worried about if I can modify the car...

    Got an interesting email from the dealer...

    The things I am pointing out specifically that I found interesting 1. The claim of 200 HP 2. The fact that cold air is triggering the anti-tampering module.. What other things will do that? Will the exhaust do it? A CAI? A bigger intercooler??

    Is it True ??? The MSP will be difficult to Mod ???

    Nothing is ever tamper-PROOF... There is always a way around it :) BTW stock run was something like 15.3 @ 90ish.. 14.8 would be easy to break with a downpipe/high-flow cat/exhaust
