It just amazes me that you've never changed your coolant, differential oil, trans oil, and on and on.

And only two spark plug changes?

Amazing.

Lambert RX8, what do you mean, you have replaced the front seal? What seal have you replaced exactly?

Like I have said in previous posts I drove for about 14 months continuously 200 miles a day round trip and drove about 70-80mph, so not much clutch needed.

Yes that was the original clutch replaced a couple of weeks ago.

Man this shows how freaking unreliable the Renesis is. I'm getting rid of my 8. I just can't deal with all these problems.

yup, my factory clutch was only 50% worn when I replaced it at 70K (fearing it was due). I do mostly highway. So wear on transmission and driveline is way less with highway than 70K miles of city.

I probably could've gone to 120K on the factory clutch.
