rx8 running problems

Hi all
Just got an rx8 at long last was scrap due to gear box.
Repaired the gear box and s/s exhaust fitted 231 model.
Plant you foot in first it and there's a pause then revs build up but like it's a kangaroo jumping all over the place.
By pass not a lot of power like it's in limp mode.
2003 77k oil Change done it also flooded it's self as well. Coolant check light on plenty of fluid. Milky substance In oil is the motor dead or will I be lucky

Well ordered some from eBay. Will get plugs and leads from euro car parts tomorrow.
Hope it's sorts it.
Milky oil seems to be a common question on here. Guess it's fine

Also check the catalytic converter. eBay is a bad choice. Mazmart or advance auto parts (look up their online coupon codes)

I assume you would have mentioned any odd lights on the dash.
