Sweeeeet car man... Just sweeeet... I love 7s...
About warranty, when it is time I will check first with Belgium directly. Then I will talk to UA Mazda - or probably Belgium will...

Thanks for the info Vlad :-)
About warranty, I know for a fact that it is "pan-european", which means that Mazda should honour it all over Europe (and not only EU). My car is an example of this, because I bought it in Czech Republic and engine warranty is still valid in Greece. Hopefully I will not have to pm you on the engineer's services but it is good to know you have these contacts ;-)
The rx-7 is an FD?

Thanks for the valuable info ZeroGravity! BTW is that MPS yours? It is a great car!
I am asking about engine repair because there has been a long dicussion about the extension of guarantee in the Rx-8 community in Greece where I come from and would like to know what is the situation now in UA.
Thanks again

PS I am at 65.000 kms

Thanks to all for the warm welcoming and really useful advice.

I have to say that news are not very encouraging but I am still thinking about it.
My 8 is EU-spec so probably I will have more difficulties than 8 owners there.

About tuning, I was interested only in mild mods but I can live without them.

Thanks once again. I will keep you posted.

Hello dear friends,

First of all, let me apologise for using english to communicate...

I am planning to come to work in Kiev (where I also hope I will develop my language skills soon enough) and would like some information regarding the level of service and repair available for Rx-8s.

I have already received some valuable information from an upstanding member of your forum, but now, as I have to take the decision of whether or not to take my 4-year rx-8 with me, I would like some additional info.

So can anyone inform me about the availability of consumables (mainly oils) and spare parts for rx-8?

How about tuning? Are there any tuning houses that specialise in rx-8s? Is it easy to import the related tuning parts? Or is there a source within Ukraine?

Are there any technicians informed enough to perform engine rebuild / replacement? Also, would Mazda there honour the "new" 3+2 years warranty on rx-8 engines?

Sorry to bother you with so many boring questions (but be careful - if you answer there may be more... )

Thank you for reading.
