at 30K, yes, you need to replace your engine.

at 60 K, you need to replace the engine and the Vtec System

at 90K, well, of course u gotta replace the engine, VVT-i and timing belt

at 120K, engine, VteC system, camshaft, all the pistons, and head gaskets.

at 150K, Mazda wants you to buy a new car. so the car will just self destruct. on its own, just make sure you're not in the car when this happens.

Wow..........I really can't tell if you are kidding or not. At least you have fairly thick skin!

Here's the truthful answer to your last post..............."No".

I think you should go read these.

https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/congratulations-you-got-8-a-202548/

https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=FAQ

Now, having said all the above, it's all personal opinion, but I change my plugs at least every 15k miles(and that's a stretch)..........and if I was on OEM coils, I would change them at about 25-30k miles.

BUT..........this doesn't mean you have to do so at all. There are many people that get way more miles out of these things, and then there are people that keep driving on older possibly worn out items, and this leads to further complications.

Money really isn't an object for me, so I'm just not going to take the chance.

Bottom line is....you will get all sorts of opinions, so go read those three threads a.d you shall become enlightened.......IMO.

Remember guys, we get all kinds of walks of life here. Those who post incredibly strange questions though should expect some kind of negative responses. I am sure the one who was posting is pretty young. Just my guess. Maybe his friends were talknig about ignition coils and he heard wrong.

He's definitely messing with all you. There's a small chance that he really is this gullible. He's laughing right now, I would be....

I was on the test drive for my inspection before registration renewal. The guy was about to fail me because my taillight fluid level was too low.

But then the VFAD kicked in, and i passed with flying colors.
