If you want to travel West, I'm about 40 minutes West of Cleveland and would be happy to help depending on what you needed.
|
That works, thanks!

It's an RX-8 then? Well the first thing we need to is deflood again and perform a proper compression test. I have a rotary compression tester and I can do this pretty quickly to make sure we aren't throwing parts at a weak engine. Coils on the 8's love to fail at random times so that was a good move on your part getting new coils. Did you get the Mazda revision C coils and NGK plugs? A compression test is definitely a must as a first step of diag on an RX-8. I have 4 of them, I've been down the same road you're on currently.

Took it for compression test
thanks for getting back to me. I took it for a compression test and the back rotor is gone. So, its rebuild, new engine or sell it (if possible). Hate to ask but, do you know the value if an 06 rx8 Shinka, 91k miles on it, “as is”? I was planning on selling it before this happened, need something better for snow (daughters mom moved her out to the snowbelt, about 1.5 hours away), so I dont think financially, it makes sense for me to dump $ into something I would sell, makes more sense to cut my losses on the price I sell it for. I know parting it out would bring the most in a return but, also know the time that may take. Thanks again, really appreciate your help & time.

that would be a car i would purchase. instead of the normal 500-700 range for a clean car, i would offer up to 1200 for your model, at the moment im 4-6 months away from buying a shinka. just food for thought.

The Shinka package adds different colored chrome wheels, Alcantara inserts in the seats, leather covered parking brake handle and console lid, standard 6 disc changer, urethane filled front sub frame, and the option of the color Copper Red, which was unique to the Shinka package. The Shinka could also be had in Galaxy Grey, Brilliant Black, and Whitewater Pearl. It's really just a trim level, nothing horribly special. Depending on overall condition, with a bad engine, on the high end you would be looking at a market value of around $1500 for the car, a few hundred less if it has the automatic transmission.
