Mazda recomends the pump be changed at 100,000 miles. I am doing it for that reason and last month I had a a misfire / loss of power issue on Pocono Raceway. I think I took care of the misfire issue with the PCM / E-shaft reset & the new coils. The fuel pump could have also been the issue and since I am at the miles where I should replace it why not.

On the FD's was the fuel filter aslo a part of the filter? My guess is Mazda wants the pump replaced @ 100,000 because of the filter? I looked all over the pump and couldn't find the word Denso. I only found a name that I think is "AKKAM" in two spots.
If you don't mind, after you replace the fuel pump, can you post here who makes the OEM pump? If its Denso, I don't see why you would need to replace it... I've seen Denso pumps go 300-500K without an issue.. And thats not even on mostly HWY miles! Even some FD owners go well over 150+K without replacing the fuel pump (I have stock pump on my FD with just over 100K... and I been pushing pretty hard last 20K miles (avg. 13MPG or less). Also, since its N/A, I don't think it will harm the engine as much as FI engine if fuel cuts...

Congrats on the 100,000+
Your log is pretty nice I think I'm going to copy you
Correct me if I'm wrong Expo but you haven't changed your belts yet or did I just miss that one. If not then thats pretty damn amazing! With more cars like yours our resale value just might increase It would be nice if your car had a turbo on it and still did as well!

Good to hear something positive about the RX 8 on this board! I've got 56,xxx miles so far and have had none of the problems that most complain about.
Good preventitive maintenance goes a long way these days.

just found the thread and know you are well past the 100k mark and glad to see the stock cat is doing good with the premix.
curious though as I didn't see anywhere on your list that you might have replaced the coils and have been hearing talk about people replacing them lately. still on the originals? also seems like you where doing plugs around 25-30k right?

Nice !
Hey expo1, is there a thread of cars over 100k? I saw another thread a couple of days ago I posted in, https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...7&postcount=38. But I was curious how many cars have actually passed this mark... I can't imagine there are more then a few of us.
