sweet deal. i've wanted one of those for a while now.

You can pick them up cheap on eBay. I paid like $40 shipped for the remote with blank key. I think the store is Midwest Keyless. As soon as it arrived, we tested it on Fero313's Mazda6, and it programmed perfectly.

dude i am so gelous haha

Put in the new clutch pedal assembly today, and programmed the flip key remote. Both work perfect.

The car is takes a while to start. I don't know if it is bad plugs, bad coils, or a combination of the two. The dealer said it has new plugs, but I doubt it. The coils...who knows how old they are, and they are know to be crap.

On the road though....it is sweet! She pulls hard and handles great! Has a little alignment issue, pull left a little. Trans shifts great and it really feels like it pulls great all the way to redline.

SO, I am hoping that new plugs and coils will cure the slow start.

I agree 100%... Renesis is a better motor overall, or I should say, I think it has more potential.

dj , beware of the switch and poppin the trunk.. leading 8 battery killer!! lol

Small update yesterday.
New coils installed
New plugs installed
New filters
Changed oil
New steering wheel
new lug nuts ( :p )

Installed the Axxess iPod adapter.....and I am pretty sure it blew up my Head Unit. The display above the stereo lights up, but does not display anything. No sound from the stereo, it won't even power up.

:(

S did the plugs and coils solve your problem? You may have a bad starter too... did you go with stock coils?

Starter has been replaced per the TSB. I did go with stock coils, since I got them for cost. I do need wires still, found that out when changing everything out. No big deal, ordering the RB wires today.

The car starts alot faster cold, and starts better hot, but not as quick as I would like. The car feels much more powerful, that is for sure.

Now if I can just figure out why the stereo is acting up, and why I have a CEL now.

Ugh, typical rotary, I should have switched to BMW's :leaving:

5000!! damn man

Not any better, trust me. My 325Ci has had more problems in the past 15 months than my CRX has had in 15 years.

It's probably code 49, "Driver is a tool". Autozone, Advance, or Death will clear it for you.

All your parts are belong to me.

Progress!

The stereo issue is fixed. Part of the faceplate detached from the stereo unit. Pushed it back in and resecured the screws, all is good. iPod adapter works perfect, and I am quite happy.

The CEL was for Secondary Air Solenoid Circuit. I wiggled the wires, and made sure the connections were good, and reset the light. Drove around at lunch, and home from work, and it has not come back on. The idle is smoother now as well.

I ordered some RB wires, hopefully they will be here Friday (and not Monday like UPS says).

Now it just needs tint, and a GOOD cleaning/polishing before DGRRX!!!!

Hmmm, I guess I was wrong. :rofl:
