hey-ooo finally made an account

Hey guys!

I've been lurking on RX8Club.com ever since I got my RX8 four months ago.. but I finally decided to create an account come 2017.

I managed to nab a red 2007 sport 6SP with only 50k miles for $6500 back in August from my buddy. Had a full exhaust system and a great engine and I've done a (relatively speaking) ton of work to it since, mostly with the help of posts on here.

Tablet in the nav hood running Torque Pro, 220A alternator, BHR ignition kit. Got a Sohn adapter on the way! Also installed a Pioneer headunit with a full-blown Rockford Fosgate audio system (2 12" subs in custom enclosure, door speakers, rear deck speakers, dynamat errwhere)

Glad to be a part of the family.

I just got the BHR kit installed today and it's like a whole new car.. I think my ignition coils were failing, three of them had those white spots and one was completely clean.

Just took this video of my RX-8 shooting flames post-BHR install.. camera man done goofed and only got one exhaust, but hey.

Man. RX8's aren't for making noise inside, only outside. All that weight! Beyond that, welcome to the forum, take your car on some twisties and you'll wish it were lighter.

Welcome ! Do you have compression numbers on your engine to know its true health? Should be done before any used RX8 purchase. Still first priority now, even if the motor feels strong. Bad coils can lead to engine issues.
