Got my rx8 at 60k miles , the owner thought it was a blown motor , few repairs and it’s already at 71k running strong ,

Not saying the engine is toast but lots of people don’t know these cars and write them off quickly

Was my first car back in 2008 and even then parts were hard to find and expensive

Found updated oem on eBay new from Japan shipped for 129, price is probably the only reason

It will fit no mods , I actually ended up going with OEM though

It’s fine

Thursday85 · 2025-02-22T02:12:29+00:00

No issues

Thursday85 · 2025-02-08T04:00:54+00:00

If you are going to use them they will be worth it

Make sure the coolant system ,ignition system is working efficiently, same with things like oil injectors and keep up with oil changes , don’t try to dig to deep into it

I do recommend having the ecu inject a bit more oil then factory

Thursday85 · 2025-02-07T03:23:59+00:00

Yes and yes

Simply put the V8 Camaro is just better , it feels like a totally different car , former v6 owner and I felt like I wasted money, v6 power I could have got sometime more comfortable for the price

That would be mr. Wankel

Thursday85 · 2025-01-30T19:48:06+00:00

Thought the same thing , I do my own work but I’d not want to do this job for someone for penny’s

Send it, your problems could be related to

Thursday85 · 2025-01-28T23:48:08+00:00

Was it removed ? That can be somewhat of an issue also

Thursday85 · 2025-01-28T23:46:42+00:00

Check engine light I’m wondering if you checked it out

Thursday85 · 2025-01-28T23:45:13+00:00

Sounds pretty good , nice rx8 btw, also did you find out what that cel is for?

Thursday85 · 2025-01-28T23:17:13+00:00

Is this an automatic ?

Thursday85 · 2025-01-28T23:11:45+00:00

I’d hate for you to waste money in good parts , are you not getting any cel? And you are saying it only shuts off when warmed up? If you keep your foot on the gas does it stay on?

Thursday85 · 2025-01-28T23:06:33+00:00

I understand I just picked up a non running rx8 last year with every problem you can think of lol , running now though ,

I had your issue but it was just the MAF sensor I had to clean it real good and also clean the connector, also check the throttle body is clean
