I thought u guys do use Yukon ls2 coils as it says on ur website. I'm buying used coils but also have a new set of ls2 coils. Experimenting is what Im doin, and ill see how it goes. I've been in the rotary game for 8 Years and the rx8 is something I've been trying to get experience in. I'll let u guys know the results.

I have a set of (4) MSD LS2 coils to sell, ran them only for a very short time on my RX-8, maybe 30 minutes tops, also the second half of an MSD LS2 u-build spark wire kit (4 wires worth), I do not have the electrical harness connectors though

I think my coils went out because I was experiencing power loss and extremely loud noises at high RPMs. I took two coils off to check and they both have the white burn marks so I guess time to get new ones. =( Already emailed charles on those BHR ignition kit, just waiting on them >.<

The white marks do not mean that the coils are bad.

ok, white marks mean nothing lol sorry. But I am experiencing power loss and my car is almost at 97k miles so I think it's replacing time anyways. Can't think of any other reason my car is losing power and making loud noises >.<

You would get more people analyzing your problem by starting your own troubleshooting thread than hijacking this one.

They all do. Sometimes repeatedly.

I call it intellectual entropic bounce.

Well, did u guys change it up or something? I've researched and that's what I've been finding online and from other RX-8 owners. Ive seen some of ur posts. Explain these links.

Giving attitude to customers who are asking questions about your products isn't the best way to draw a customer in to buying it. Customer service just ain't there huh? I wanted to get the access port with ur tune soon but not too sure if I want to anymore. I didn't attack anyone from BHR, so I don't see how I'm getting bad treatment. I'm sorry if u guys don't allow questions to be asked.

I wish more companies treated their customers like BHR does.

I love buying from them. My only regret is that I don't have the funds to keep buying everything they offer.

I also love how they don't put up with any BS from their customers.

You aren't a BHR customer nor will you be by your own admission.
Who cares how you "feel".

Additionally, if you don't want an AccessPORT, then don't buy one. If you think you are receiving bad customer service now, imagine how you would "feel" when I have to roast you for being an incompetent AccessPORT user.

Those links are TWO YEARS OLD.

Explain your low reading comprehension.

Are you going to continue to inform yourself with old information over what the ACTUAL CREATORS AND BUILDERS of devices that you are interested in are telling you TODAY?

These links actually have posts from 2010. So u guys did use ls2 Yukon coils not too long ago. And would it been so hard to tell me that you guys changed the coil selection? Seriously, I'm getting blasted for asking questions about ur product. I know u guys created the kit, that's why I am asking about it, but I don't expect tuner companies act like dicks to potential customers and expect to make a sale. I'll still get the accessport. Jus probably not from you, that's all. This is all I needed from you thanks. I'll deal with guys like racing beat, hks, Corksport, Greddy, etc. like i have been for 8 yrs on my numerous turbo rotaries instead. And continue to recommend those parts to my customers and there cars that I work on. Thanks for ur time.

On the other thand, those who own the BHR Ignition System need not worry about such things.
So, uh, yeah.

No longer an option - I am the sole world-wide distributor for the Cobb AccessPORT RX-8 application.

Well, I was a bit confused because u guys did use em not too long ago. And was wondering why i was getting different info. If that was clearly explained it would of prevented me from thinking differently. I can get get any coil for cheap like 50-75% off retail, that's why I was inquiring about it. Either way ls2 coils have been working so I don't mind trying that. Also, the accessport I can get used and tune it myself or another expert. Ive tuned with hks fcon, wolf 3d, rtek, and learning power fc. So no I dont have to go thru u. Motec ecu is another option. Or maybe a simple flash from racing beat. I got options. But if u act a little nicer and more courteous, I may do business with u and suggest ur products to my customers as well. I still don't understand why u felt so offended to start cursing at me. Its all good with me. Well, nuff said, Good luck with ur business.
