Ya im just going to go with the OEM coils. I know a few vendors on rx8club.com can get them for around 30 bucks a coil as opposed to the 85 a coil mazda charges. Another symptom of my car's illness is an excessive amount of WHITE smoke. There is no color in it. No blue or black and I have no idea what the cause of it is.

EDIT: burning coolant in the combustion chamber is the white smoke and has a semi sweet smell to it. Looks like I have a bad apex seal somewhere in there and will probly be getting a new engine as well as trans soon.
