Wow, just wow. No **** your car is running like crap after 60k without a proper tune up. What are you like 8 years old? I think Shadycrew is right. I had a lot of questions when I came here a few weeks ago but damn you make me look like an expert now. READ SON, THEN READ SOME MORE!!!

Here is what I would do..........save all your money up for a couple weeks and then buy some cocaine. It comes in little ziploc bags and looks like sugar. It'll make all your problems go away.

STEP 2: if you don't find your answer, google search and read, read, read.
STEP 3: if you still don't have an answer, keep looking.
That's exactly the type of help I received from these forums. Once I learned a few things, I actually began to get some decent responses. You're asking questions that can be found in your user manual dude, grab the book and read it, you might learn something.
You are not trying to learn... You keep asking the same question over and over in a different way expect a different answer.
I knew nothing about the rx8 3 years ago, now i know more than most mazda technicians. I didn't gain that knowledge from asking questions over and over, I read and compared notes from what other people were saying.
stop crying and start searching.

what is best coil and plug wires
Some say that BHR has a nice ignition kit - might make your start-ups a lot quicker.....
but you've already heard this and chosen to ignore it.
Ask again, I dare you.

LOL why everybody dares and says dont post no more ?? is this not a public forum ?? mayby you should decide not to asnswer instead of offering insults and dares!! let someone else answer and you leave me be is it that hard?? or do you just like to argue ???
There is only 1 option other than OEM for coils, and that is the BHR kit, which runs you $500 for coils and included wires (blackhaloracing.com).
The best plugs are OEM plugs.
There is no real benefit to upgrading wires unless you just want to go longer between wire replacements, or have the BHR kit that is sending a stronger spark.
Contact Mazmart (username here, Mazmart.com) to order everything for reasonable prices.

You searching wasn't all that good then

It's a full kit, because the coils they use aren't plug and play. They don't fit the mount, they don't fit the space (well, they do, barely), and they don't fit the connectors. BHR puts everything into a plug and play kit.

pro: have you not read anything in this thread at all? As shown, your questions have been answered at least 5 times. Have you read a single sticky? I can think of one thread that would answer all of you questions in the first 3 posts. It's a sticky. LOOK FOR IT.
And in case you haven't notices, your rx8 isn't a ford ranger.

Not trying to be a grammar hound, just some advice for further posts you may create.
If it's glaring evident that you do not care about the quality of your post then it's obvious you don't care about how hard it is to read for the person reviewing your post.
Try breaking your post up in to logical blocks, makes it easier to follow. (otherwise it's a wall of text)
Also it's not hard to start a sentence with a capital letter. Most cells phones will automatically insert a period after a double space and capitalize the first letter of the next word
Which reminds me, posting from a cell phone is not an excuse.
Just say'n.
Congratulations on finding this thread, this puts you 90% ahead of the rest of the crowd.
Welcome to the addiction.
