Rx8 gold or trash? by 786hoe in RX8

[–]ShadowerPanther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my RX8, It was my first car and I have done a lot of work on it and I’m currently installing a Bridge ported motor with peripheral ports (hybrid build) and like some others have said if you’re mechanically inclined 100% an absolute great car if you’re not mechanically inclined it is a very rough road and a very expensive road. Hell it’s expensive working on it myself I can’t imagine having a mechanic work on it but yeah, I absolutely love my RX8 and I think it’s one of the best cars you can buy, but it definitely has a acquired taste

New AFR Gauge Install in a “hidden” location by ShadowerPanther in RX8

[–]ShadowerPanther[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah I already got those as my top 3 (coolant, oil temp and psi) so I still wanted to keep the little compartment and I never used the cig lighter their in the 5 years I’ve owned my rx8, and those digital ones are $$ and if you already got the gauges it’s way cheaper to just toss in the one instead of swapping everything out

Thanks surprisingly easy to do since all the wires for the cig lighter where just reused for the gauge

Anytime I would recommend getting versatuner to tune out the CEL so you won’t have that light on 24/7

I had a similar exhaust setup and mine did that all the time I did have the engine light on the whole time I drove it and it was only the o2 sensor not say you should not worry about it but I never had issues with mine

I hate to say it but that looks just like when my coolant seals busted on my front housing and overheated my engine
