How to replace your RX8 Spark Plug
Here''s a little DIY on how to replace your own spark plugs. Some people have reported workshop charging RM250 for this ( )! For anyone wondering why I changed them, they were extremely fouled from the first 40,000 KM of driving. START- REMOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. Jack the car using a good hydraulic jack, placing a piece of wood between the jack and your frame rail. This will prevent you from denting the underside of your car. ALWAYS PLACE A JACK STAND UNDER THE CAR. THIS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! From underneath the car, you have a clear reach at the rear plugs. I recommend breaking them loose with the wrench, but then removing them by hand. Not only do you avoid banging your knuckles on everything, but it goes faster. Remove the upper fastener on the rubber splash "thingy". This is NOT a screw, but one of those that only requires a quarter turn to release it, similar to the clips on your wheel well liner. Once it pops out, gently pop out the washer by sliding a flat head screwdriver under it and twisting gently. Did I say gently? Seriously people, these things beak easy. The front plugs are now visible. When reinstalling the plugs, be sure to apply a light coat of anti-seize to the threads. Each plug is marked with a T or an L, which indicates leading or trailing. It is VERY important they are reinstalled correctly. Double check this, and note the T and L cast into the side of the motor beside each hole. Match these up. Also, you did notice that the trailing plug wires are marked with green and blue tape, right? If not, make sure upon reinstallation that you attach them correctly.
