RX-8 Coil packs

by Bobby, 09-09-2017, 04:08 PM

Well I am right chuffed, as I have just completed fitting a new set of coils to my RX-8. Now that is a major mechanical achievement for me I had it on the dyno last weekend & the tuner said it was misfiring. Not that you could notice. So I said I had just had new plugs & leads fitted. So he said better look at the coils as the RX-8 has a habit of destroying the low quality Mazda ones that are fitted especially after 20k. So had a look through the RX-8 forum & low & behold it is a fact. My Rex is just over 22k on the clock. Unbelievable I thought as the car is just over 3 years old. So bought some new uprated ones & read through the how-toos on the RX-8 forum. Everyone seem to say how easy it was so gave it a go. 1hour later thats them fitted.

seemingly the tell tale sign is a white spot on the coil.....as I had on all 4



Nice new shiny ones



If these are not changed it results in a new engine !!!

So glad I had the car dyno,d & just goes to show even the not very mechanically minded :confused1: can manage basics.

Is this possbile?

My mum and family went to Asda this evening, after not returning within 45 minutes I had a sinking feeling something had happened, then 10 minutes get a call, from them to say, my mum left the headlights on the mazda 6 and it drained the battery, and couldnt start it !

just got back after jump starting it, it had enough power to start everything in the car electronics wise, but not enough to start the engine.

Connected it up to my bro's bmw and within seconds tried it and it started !

its weird how i felt something had gone wrong it did !

for the past week ive had a feeling my works going to mess up my overtime pay, we'll see what happens !

Not Guilty? Now Pay up!!

Basically if you challenge a ticket and win. You still have to pay court fees!

apparently its costing the government too much! Maybe they should just get it right in the first place!

hi there

How about a specific area for people to post build up threads,

Once started the owner can add more pics and comments on their progress

Just an idea!



Oh and how about a regional area? maybe easier to sort out meets for specific areas

Insurance Outrage !!!!

I forgotten it was that time of the year again, the your renewal letter comes through the post.

I open it up, to see what super savings I got this year, only to see it has gone up £290 !!!! hock: hock:


Shocking !!!



So I thought screw that! I’m going to see were I can get it cheaper.


Turns out all insurance companies have raised their premiums this year, and the cheapest quote I did managed to get was £20 less than what I paid this time last year.

Really gutted, as I thought the only benefit of getting older was cheaper car insurance.
