hey guys

my dads car is running like sh*t, burning smell, noisy, power lags, drinks too much petrol etc.... dads wants me to book it in for a major service at a dealer but personally i think that it wouldnt be enough to fix the problems, so i was thinking if i brought it to a performance/general workshop kind of place they can do my major service aswell as fix or atleast let me know of any other problems they can see... what do you guys think and any suggestions..

btw its a mazda/enuos 800m not a honda (remember its my dads car not mine dont flame me :p )

cheers

Sounds like it needs an oil change, tappet adjustment, new sparkies, sparkplug lead resistance check, oil/fuel/air filter replacment, or maybe a whole engine replacement :p

Take it to UltraTune and get a quote. Dont take it to a Mazda dealer, they will rip you a new one

If so then i would probably take it to an authorised mazda specialist mate,

yea its hard to tell what it can be my car was burning heaps of fuel lagging and blowing black smoke 2day with the engine light on turns out my sensor ontop of my throttle body was off ?? now its beautiful...... 1 more thing with these eunos 800's parts are hard to get and may be quite expensive good luck
