Question Car doesnt start back up after turned off

after turning off my 04 MT rx8 I generally have to wait 10 minutes or so before it will start back up. I've changed the spark plugs recently thinking that may be it but its still ongoing I redline it about twice a day and still no matter how warm the car gets or how long I drive it will not start back up anybody experienced anything like this? any suggestions?

probably your started but you haven't given any details of what you mean by "not start". When you turn the key what happens?

^+1, and if it happens to be the starter i would DEFINETLY suggest hitting up BHR for a new one, they have great products and good prices too. Charles is always their for support when needed or any of the other BHR members for that matter.
