New RX8 Owner

I had this same problem for awhile in my series 1 8. I had read about the coils only lasting 20k or so miles so I upgraded to the BHR coils and wires. (they are pricey, but worth it) I also installed new laser iridium plugs. Once I had them in the car would barely start and after warm up you could hang up starting it for anywhere from 10-30 minutes. I installed the uprated 2.0kW starter and it hasn't had a problem since.
Also, I can't wait for DGRR 2015. Hope I don't break down next year!
