Hi all. Just thought I'd introduce myself. Picked up a yellow '04 8 a couple weeks ago. I own a 2010 speed3 as my summer daily already, so this is my second Mazda and first wankel! Got it stupid cheap, not running. After de flooding the engine I was able to get it running, and fairly well I must say. Power steering was also not working, cleaned the connections and swapped the fuse and it was good to go. I should also mention this car is strictly to be used on the track. Car is gutted, leaving the 2 front seats and dash. Pretty much it haha. I gave the car a shakedown yesterday at a local AutoX event. Did fairly well. Car has 186k kms. Seems fairly tight.
Future mods: acquire a spare diff, and weld it up.
Sell the 2 front stock, all black leather,seats for a pair of sparcos
Find a decent set of adjustable coilovers
Car came with an "Xpower" 3" cat back exhaust. Seems pretty rare. This will be going, and a straight pipe will be used in place
And a mishimoto aluminum rad. The rest being all stock.
Cheers,
See Ya''ll on the boards!
