This would be much funnier several weeks ago when Indycar teams were traveling from Fontana to Milwakee

Did it ever show up?

Not here. Apparently it leaked a bit and UPS is sending it back to Mazda. No one decided to tell anyone anything until I asked. Still waiting for a replacement. Only one in the country and its supposed to be shipping from Georgia.

Wait, something related to a Mazda RX-8 leaked?

Clearly UPS doesn’t understand that’s standard procedure for RX-8’s.

Maybe the UPS man was rebuilding his RX-8 and needed it.

You should expect his used one in three to five business days

Also, are the transmissions bad on these as well?

I thought only the engine caused issues

It was repaired badly at another dealer, so Mazda is warrantying the entire assembly. Not sure what was originally wrong.

car-part.com says there’s lots of RX-8 transmissions around.

I think Mazda would rather put a new one in since they’re footing the bill.

I suppose. Though it’s going to be a used trans once it’s installed anyways.
