What other kind of engine related parts commonly fail on the RX8 such as sensors, pumps, relays, belts, etc. ?

I have an 04 6MT by the way.

 

spark plugs should be checked every 15k - 25k
Catalytic sometimes fails early but it's covered by warranty so no worries there

not much else

 

Coolant overflow bottle, mainly it's coolant level sensor (integrated into tank). Really nothing else to worry about. Just do regular maintenance and you should be just fine.

 

Tires

 

a couple guys have complained about the motor... but what do they know

 

I've seen quite a few problems with the Tranny... nothing too major... but some here and there.

 

engine, transmission, sun visors, cat.

you can mitigate most of it though if you maintain the car properly and don't live in AZ.

 

^ lol about living in AZ.

 

clutch bracket,

 

the clutch does look kinda flimsy, but mine never had any problems. I wonder if people are just pushing on it at odd angles or something.

 

the driver.

 

The taillights.

 

the whole car.

Sell it before it blows up.

 

Is that the ticking sound, I hear..??

DAMN!

 

they use electronic timer on the 8, so Im not sure where that ticking sound comes from.

look under your car and see if u can find any thing, if u see some blue or red or white wire, take a wire cutter out and cut one, just to see what happens

there are quite a lot of terrorist around u know

 

^ I'll get right to it..Pheewwww Thank you!

 

reading the owners manual..

beers

 

tranny synchros

 

failures? hmmm, let's see ...

my coils have been fine thus far (furiously knocking on wood now), but i plan to change them next anyway. far as failures go, does the front main seal count?
