I was in the market for a vehicle, I wa searching 8k and under. Looking at a lot of cobalts and other things I thought to myself... Hmm for 8k or less I can something a lot sportier then some fwd supercharged pos... Well my buddy had a rx8 a few years back and I loved how it drove. Needless to say two days ago I bought my first rx8 with 88k on body and a little over 20k on engine and transmission replaced under warranty by Mazda.
Today I decided I would check the air filter and the spark plugs.
First thing I found was oil in the intake... Thank god I made my own oil catch can at work a few months back...
I made the catch can pretty long so I installed it on the only spot I could fit Her for now. So for now she is mounted on the air box, which isn't too bad because the engine cover hides it.
As you can see I bought her pretty dirty under the hood.
Next thing I did was remove the sound dividers and install a aftermarket filter inplace of the horn since my stock filter was trashed anyway...
Then I pulled the spark plugs and found that both the lead and trailing spark plugs were carboned up pretty bad. When shinning a light into the rotor housing I could see that the rotor too had some build up...
I pulled the dip stick and saw she was about a quart low and according to some crap hole oil place sticker it was already at 3300 miles sice last oil change. So changed the oil and filter while I was at it.
After I let her warm up I noticed my crap idle no longer existed. I took it around the block to open her up and hopefully clear some carbon out. A few times it started miss firing In the real high revvs. A couple times later I have noticed that it cleared up. Thinking there is a lot of **** too burn off in there based off what I have seen.
Anyone have any recommendations on how I can clean her out faster without causing any damage???
