I sold my FD rx7 and want to use some of the cash on my 8.
I have an 04' auto which most of you hate but I don't, I have a modified S5 vert if I want to shift with a clutch.
Alot of you think the 8 is a maintenance nightmare my FD wasn't any better or cheaper, and just as crappy gas mileage.
Since exhaust, and midpipe are already done would you do a BHR ignition kit or Sohn adapter first or just spend the cash and do both at the same time?

 

If you have the cash to spare you should do both.

 

If you have the cash to do both, do it.

If you do not, Go with the BHR ignition kit first.

If you can do both, do both. There's no win in waiting to have either of those items.

 

Thanks for the input. I am doing both even though ignition system was replaced @ 6k miles ago when engine was rebuilt.
I have a lump some of cash so I'm going to do as many things as possible.
Is there any way to look at the fuel pump and tell if it's the original just hit 65k so I know it should be on the list as well.
What about the starter also original but works fine?

If it works, don't replace it.

I would forget the Sohn adapter and go ignition kit.

If you have to, you can add synthetic 2 cycle oil.

 

^I respectfully disagree with foregoing the Sohn, if you can afford to do both.
Imho, it seems only logical that injecting clean oil into the engine would be better than injecting dirty used motor oil.

 

Thanks for the help I also
talked to the owner of Banzai Racing who rebuilt my engine he said the Sohn is a no brainer in addition to continuing to premix.
Injecting dirty oil just doesn't make good sense period.
