Aquired a build sheet!

went to the Mazda dealer last week to get some parts and on the way out, talked to the sales manager about aquiring an original window sticker for my RX-8. he said that it was tool old (lol) but said that he could get me a build sheet. got the build sheet for free and decided to share it with my fellow forum members!

I went to a Mazda dealership for parts for my '84 GSL-SE once and the guy behind the counter tried to tell me the RX-7 didn't exist before 1986 and that I must have had the year wrong. I told him I didn't but he wouldn't listen. He said a 1984 RX-7 didn't exist.

OMG what friggin dealer in Houston was that, if you want to stick with a Texas dealer I know you could hit Mazda South in Austin they have great internet service (not making money off this) their site is mazdastuff.com the only reason I mention it they have a parts staff that knows what a rotary is a couple of them even have old school rotaries. I know that Dr KJ could point u in the right direction in houston also
