Drove for 20 mins before the compression check and burned my hand on the engine mount getting the front leading plug out.
Severe hesitation at 4-5k RPM makes me think she needs ignition coils.
The fact that the electrode came off the front leading plug when I yanked the plug wire boot and the thick, grey carbon deposits all over the plug tips says the plugs need replacement.
I've got a "BennettBuilt" ignition coil set and a set of NGKs ready to drop in. See how that does.
Congratulations on your new RX-8!! Looks like you found a great example. The price point seems fair given the overall condition and compression numbers! Keep us updated on how things go following the ignition refresh!!

Man, was I in for some sticker shock... $35 a spark plug!
Gone are the days of the $2 ea BR8EQ-14s on My first gen.
You can get them from Rock Auto for $20 and $21 per plug. Still way more expensive than our BR8EQ-14 plugs for our FB's!! I still have BR7ET plugs in my SA. Also, are you the same Pele from rx7club.com?

He is I and I am him... Slim with the tilted brim.
Needed the plugs the same day. Supply and demand / cost of convenience... Because I broke off one of the electrode terminals when I pulled the plug boot.
