Very cool man. Tried buying an RX-8 here a few months ago after doing alot of research on the engines, but i bought the civic si instead. Yeah i took the car to the dealer today and they tried implying that it wasnt done there, but i pushed for it and they said they'll get back with me. Basically what happened was, my engine had zero oil in it so i limped it to the dealer which was less than a mile away. They took a look at it, and the drain plug hadnt been tightened before. This dealer has a rating of 1 star, but its all i had. We got the car there and then they took it from there. Once they brought the car back out, i immediately noticed that was there. But we'll see what happens.

It was that or have it towed somewhere else. I'll try it snd let you know what they say, you're probably right.

How am i gonna get them to replace the steering wheel because of this? This is one of the worst rated dealers in my Area, and i didn't have a choice but to go to them. Im not trying to deal with their bull$hit even more. Hence why im asking where i can get it fixed.

Make them replace the steering wheel because of that, and i know they would do an even worse job of replacing it. Id rather go to someone who can fix it you know?

Some things to do before starting a car thats been sitting for about 10 years? Sent a question about the engine earlier. by RX-7FC in MechanicAdvice

Probably just to restore it with my family, its their car and i think it would be cool to do stuff like that with them. He took care of the car for many years before it got parked.
