Hey Guys,
Just topped up the car with oil and figured l'd check the coils (haven't checked them before). Basic info on the car:
Cheers.

- I've had the car since 88,000 km (now 103,000 km)
- Engine was replace at about 80,000 km
- Unsure of when the coils (or leads) were changed
Cheers.

I just thought the burn mark was a bad sign. Thanks for that!

Greetingz,
My idle is a little rough and the Mazda dealer wanted to charge me about $1200 to replace the coil and plugs. The parts were expensive but so was the labor. Any links to where I can get parts for cheap would be appreciated. I am going to try and do a DYI on this. My RX8 is a 2004 Automatic with less then 57K miles on it.
Best Regards

I'm getting my plugs (and coils in the future) from Fluid Motorsports:
https://www.fluidmotorsports.com/s-84-rx8.aspx
PM Fluid Motorsports for details. He deffinately came out the cheapest for me.
Since your American, you could try either Sparkplugs.com (Read here for a 15% off discount) or Amazon as well.
You'll also want to replace you leads. Both Fluid Motorsports (Moroso, $90) and Sparkplugs.com (NGK, $25) have leads, but l have a personal preference for BHR's solution (MSD parts, $60).

That's ridiculous, as you now have found out. coils wires and plugs are really not that difficult and not that expensive. Like you say below.......maybe check out the BHR solution or just as another source, go to www.finishlineperformance.com or somewhere else such as Fluidmotorsports.

I bought OEM, plugs, coils, wires for $235 and put them in in about a hour, not hard to do. Any beginner and his buddy could do it with the DIY's on here.
