Alright, I may be considering a purchase next spring/summer (especially since Respeed is starting to make suspensions for these things now), but I've got a couple of questions:
1. Why were the motors blowing on the early models? 2. When they replaced the motors in them, did that correct the issue or can you also expect the replacement to fail eventually. 3. Were the tranny issues on the early models related to the Manual trannies, Autos, or both? Thanks guys! ![]() .

2. See my post above for the mileage on engine #2 3. The tranny issues are driver related. For manuals, it really is the fault of a weak clutch pedal assembly. I just replaced mine, and jfaplanet added some strengthening welds to it before we installed it. IF you want a good, cheap RX-8, buy mine!
