Cool Low Compression..

I have recently started to have problems hot starting my RX8, I'm told this is the tell tale sign of a low compression problem. I have managed to find a low compression kit in the UK, does anyone know if I can get the same type of kit in Cyprus?

Many Thanks..

Since I JUST typed this up for someone else, I'm going to link you to that thread. Don't worry, it's short.

Thanks for the link, I had pretty much come to the conclusion that it's either a donor engine or a new car...
