u need to check for this! you need to manual remove the coils and check for the resistance. no other way!!!!
+ -
A B ∞ or 0 ohm is abnormal
B C Same as above
C A 0 to several kilohm (continuity) is abnormal
remove the ignition coils to check the resistance is the best way to know if your ignition coils are running ok where abc are ad defined in the pic below

what i need you guys to comment on is the engine's sound while cranking. is it normal or abnormal?
added info : the plug holes at the front rotor won't blow air (or less). different than that of rear rotor. i suspect something bad is going on (could be lost compression). but if the seals are broken, then why i didn't hear any tin can sound?

"Visiting" my poor sick car is more likely the word than "Gathering". Know why? Because we don't do gatherings at workshop.

...... Had to wait for Num. Plate...... ...... Worth the wait though....... Wanted WPJ5005 to match my 2nd car num plate (JJJ5005)....... Then the only diff. between these two plates would be the first two letters Got mine 2 months back WPD1680. Same scenario as you. Waited for 1680 to match 2 other cars back home.
Mine's an Auto. Spend more time in RX8club forums. Lot's to learn about the RX8 and the Renesis engine. There's equally horror and nice to hear stories out here.
I've had my share of sleepless nights

This website should help. Standard RX8 rims have a offset of 50+ if I'm not mistaken. Shouldn't go anywhere <30+ offset as it'll come out from the guards. I'm using a R34 GTR rims with off set 30. Scraps a little when whole family in car and taking corners at the same time.
