Cole when I got misfires that happened to me as well, the code dissapears after a couple drives without a misfire (which usually only happen on the hi rev spirited drives when the coils are starting to fail). Id get your ignition system serviced... i.e new coils plugs and wires sooner rather than later...

Brett yeah ur right Ill go with the White they are color matched to 25D which is White Water Pearl so they should have the metal flake and look good, RotaryFX has great parts as long as your not buying lights from them lol

so the adjustor didnt go back yesterday... he will go back today in abotu a half hour. i should know in a hour or 2 if its totalled ill keep you posted.

so cole id say just drive your car.. as soon as you get the check engine light and its convienient take it back to him. or pending on when you bought it, you may wanna take it back and find a diff rx8. since yours seems like non stop problems. and pending the dealer some dealers will help you till they are out of the legal return policy time frame.. reguardless i hope it works for the best!!! =)

Yeah, I am not sure if the last code was a misfire or not. it was P0661, which is something with the shutter valve. I am going to pick it up and drive it until it codes again. lol I am not going to pay to get the coils replaced, but if I can get him to do them for free, I am go for it. Otherwise I will just save for BHR.

Alright. Let me know. I might be looking for some parts soon, if you decide to part it out. I am going to get mine now, so we will see how this goes.

Well, I got it and as soon as I drove out of the lot I got the code to come up, this time just a misfire code. So I am getting the coils and wires replaced tomorrow.

They replaced the blower motor for the fans for free too, so I can't really complain about them too much yet.

It is Stamper's Auto Sales in Roxana, IL. Small dealership, but just expanded to two locations.
They usually deal in rebuilt cars though.
