hey guys i live in kearny and have been to the meet on 17 only a few times but i am looking for some help/ advice. ive had my 8 for a little over a year now and im in love with my car. the problem is im at 98,600 miles and bought it with 65,000. last week i went for a ride and noticed someting was up. when i put it in first gear to take off i feel it hesitating almost as if it were misfiring when i get up to about 10mph or 2k rpm it returns back to normal and i feel power coming back, same thing happens when putting it in second gear again untill i hit about 3,000 rpms. third gear a little less notisable and so on. when going into 6th gear you dont even notice... i just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this and can help me out. ive been told it could be various things anything from clutch, to gas pump and even blown motor =x. please let me know what you guys think. i appreciate it.
if anything i can make it out to the meet this tuesday and you can see for yourself wts upp.

come out on tuesday, we will try to help you out. let's start from teh ignition system, as you should know that it's one of the weakest part of RX8. change from coils, sparkplugs, and wires. next, move to CAT's system. next, what type of fuel you are using....just come to the tuesday meet, and you can show us little bit and tell us little bit of your hisetory of the car, so we can trace it.

i know its a scary thing to happen to you when your driving your car, but symptoms like that arent really in the blown engine department....a blown engine feels shitty no matter what the rpm or gear, and it doesnt go away unless you rebuild it lol
your best bet is to follow what steven said, odds are something else on the car took a dump and is in need of being swapped out
so that being said let me ask you this:
whens the last time you changed your plugs and wires?
any smoke coming out the back?
any trouble starting up?
hell have you started to go to a different gas station recently?
belts good?
any major work done to the car recently?
