My 2004 Rx8

im sure the FC engine's hold up better than mine. White smoke and multiple misfire CEL so im burning coolant which means coolant in the combustion chamber, looks like its probly new engine time for me. Word of advice to project86: if you ever get an 8, get one from 06 and up. 04 and 05 8's have a lower OMP setting and have bugs. My engine has almost 108k and compared to other 2004 8 owners mine has lasted longer than quite a few. I would love to do something crazy like drop an 3rd gen rx7 13b twin turbo or an ls1 in it but that will never happen
