My mate has a 2004 Mazda RX8. It is the 231bhp model, but he had the engine replaced with a 192bhp a while back. Clock currently shows 37000miles.

However, recently he has had problems with the engine cutting out when in neutral. he cannot sadly verify what milage the 192bhp engine had on it so he doesn't know if he needs another new engine or if this is a common fault thats occurring ?

Anyone got experience of the RX8's and maybe have some answers.. all the garages he has gone to want investigate , investigate, investigate and at a cost !
