dude, careful buying a heavily modded car.. unless you can work on it yourself and have the resources.. i see one of the reasons you sold your 8 was due to it giving you problems? this can be alot worse..

andrew could probably just rebuild the entire car for less than wat he has spent on rx8 oil changes....

after lurking these forums for about a week, i've decided an rx8 is the right car for me.
i know there are classifieds here, but figured i should ask here, as i live in bergen :p
does anyone have an rx8 or know anyone with an rx8 for sale for under $12k?

Unhappy hey guys need some help

hey guys i live in kearny and have been to the meet on 17 only a few times but i am looking for some help/ advice. ive had my 8 for a little over a year now and im in love with my car. the problem is im at 98,600 miles and bought it with 65,000. last week i went for a ride and noticed someting was up. when i put it in first gear to take off i feel it hesitating almost as if it were misfiring when i get up to about 10mph or 2k rpm it returns back to normal and i feel power coming back, same thing happens when putting it in second gear again untill i hit about 3,000 rpms. third gear a little less notisable and so on. when going into 6th gear you dont even notice... i just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this and can help me out. ive been told it could be various things anything from clutch, to gas pump and even blown motor =x. please let me know what you guys think. i appreciate it.
if anything i can make it out to the meet this tuesday and you can see for yourself wts upp.

come out on tuesday, we will try to help you out. let's start from teh ignition system, as you should know that it's one of the weakest part of RX8. change from coils, sparkplugs, and wires. next, move to CAT's system. next, what type of fuel you are using....just come to the tuesday meet, and you can show us little bit and tell us little bit of your hisetory of the car, so we can trace it.
steven
