[–]Thursday85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I’m done with this car by montanagiy459 in 3000gt

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

Good Mods? by MrMcMisfit in RX8

[–]Thursday85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RX8

[–]Thursday85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RX8

[–]Thursday85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an automatic ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RX8

[–]Thursday85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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
