Heya everyone, last week I stumbled upon a beautiful blue 04' RX-8 and I was astonished I simple had to take it for a spin. The feel of the car was amazing! You all know that, anyhow I bought it same day and have never had a better car in all honesty. I do fear I need to replace the starter or get new coils maybe, car sounds a bit iffy on start. I've read through most of the stickies, at least I know what I will be looking for in future as well as what to expect if i don't take care of this beaut. But anyhow, hope everyone has an amazing day!

 

Welcome.
Good job on doing your research.

Have fun!

 

Thanks! Definitely will ;D

 

Make sure you post pics!

And verify the condition of your ignition before you venture too much with the rpm range. As BigC likes to say:
Bad ignition kills cats, bad cats kill engines.

 

I'll post pics' when I have some better weather, NZ has had some ***** weather for a few days now.
I'll look into what I find wrong and post here in the meantime! Thanks for the kind words.

 

Well,my coils weren't that great but my battery terminals were so corroded and rusted!
Cleaned those and the car seems to be a bit healthier already. Time to replace those old coils while I'm at it.
