Hi guys, I'm currently building an Exocet kit car and am scrapping the Miata power train for a 13b-msp. I figured this would be a good place to come for technical stuffs.

Slightly Glowing Series II Cat
Noticed a very faint glow of the cat only from the drivers side and the glow was coming from above the sensor - illuminating the left side very faintly.
I noticed a unique smell on the way home tonight - a mixture of unburnt gas and likely premix (Lucas JASO FD) at 0.4 oz./gal. Air temp was in the mid 30s °F. We had just been idling on the highway for about 10 min in heavy stop and go traffic. Once on the interchange on-ramp between two highways I drove it all the way home in the 5-8K rpm range.
Then I checked and noticed that very faint glow of the cat on the top.
2K miles ago (I now have 44K miles on my 2010 GT) I replaced the ignition coils, wires, and plugs all with OEM (coils were C part numbered from MazMart). I also reset the ESS and cleaned it while in replacing the ignition. I've been religious on oil changes (1000-1500K OCI) and N3R1 filter changes. I run 93 RON fuel always from reputable sources.
Should I be worried?
I'm not getting CEL/MILs and notice no performance related issue sother than typical winter MPG loss? (I do warm up the car and it blinks off the first red warm up light just as I take off in the morning - about 2 min idle time).
Thought S2 owners?

Reservoir tank problem ...please help
It's replaced and new But car won't start no more ....So I had a problem with my reservoir tank . I found a crack on the Radiator near the cap and it splatters engine coolant everywhere on my hood . I go to pick N pull . Replace the tank and now that it's replaced my car won't start . Someone help me ..... coolant is leaking from the bottom of my car and now my car won't start . Could it possibly be Flooded ? I tried the Deflooding procedure and it still didn't work . Anyone know what could have been the problem ?

Low Power Up Hill
Hi all, any help would be great.
crashed my very first RX-8, was a dream of a car... anyway I bought another, and here is my issue.
when climbing a hill and sinking the boot the power pick up seems to be very slow, I have to bring the car up to nearly 4K revs just to take off, then it slowly builds power. Seems to be ok on flat ground, just hills seems to be an issue. It's also not as clean to start, it trundles to a start and shudders no sometimes cut out.
I'm thinking it could be fuel pump maybe?!?!

Low Power Up Hill
Just got an rx8, need help.
So, back story. I got a 1997 rx7 from a guy a few years ago. Long story short I sold it.
But when he got an rx8 he thought of me, and called me. The rx8 has always been my favorite car, so I bought it.
Here's the thing, the front end is destroyed. It looks like it hit a light pole.
I've got no problem doing what it takes to fix it, but I don't have an undamaged car to compare the front end.
So if someone could show me detailed pics of their radiator, radiator support, bumper support, behind the bumper support, hood latch, and whatever else. I'd greatly appreciate it.
