I bought a red RX8 on a whim last month as it was sitting unloved in an a marine barracks near me. It was running very roughly and has been off the road for at least a year. Getting it home was a nightmare, stalling at every junction and needing huge revs to pull away.

I have now changed the plugs, coils and leads (three of the coils had scorch marks on the base and the plugs were rusty!) also changed the oil and filter and uprated the starter motor to a new 2kw one.

The car is transformed!

Next jobs are to clay bar the body, renovate the leather, spray the wheels and fit stainless steel grilles.

Welcome to the forum.

Read the threads linked in my SIG.

White 'hot spots' don't really mean anything.

Glad it's running right now.
