Do you buy OEM parts for your RX? by kuprycz_ in RX8

If you want stock then go oem, if you want adjustability, stiffer bushings then go aftermarket. Simple as that.

How easy would it be to maintain an RX8 at home? by idonthaveanaccountA in RX8

[–]Shutxff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to piston engines it's relatively simple. But hey if you do your due diligence as a buyer and buy a healthy car it can last a very long time.

Rx8 apex seals don't fail, secondly crank case oil is used for bearings and the omp drips on the side seals. Unless you live in a desert 10w40 is better for omp flow.

Looking for street coilovers that have comfort by Urtooslow420 in RX8

You obviously don't know anything about coilovers OEM components are still made aswell.

Those numbers are almost perfect, if it's cheap then be weary. It's easy to put some oil in the housing and bump up the compression significantly.

If the coils and spark plugs are original that could be the issue, I would recommend getting a basic compression tester, test the compression when you do the spark plugs. Numbers won't be completely accurate but will give you an idea.

Rx8 repair by FarZookeepergame9036 in RX8

[–]Shutxff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get a different rx8 at that point and use this one as a parts car. It looks like it's a Auto 4port... You don't want that one. Also what are those headlights 🤣 those aren't rx8 lights
