If you ever do replace them, go OEM only. As I understand it, the plug is actually part of a feed-back system for the ignition stuff. I am unsure if Mazda tweaked the plugs from what you can buy off the shelf generic, or not, but I don't want to play that game.
Great fitment, and quality, only let down is the plastic drain bung, make sure you get a replacement before installing it
OHLINS MAS-MI00S1 Road & Track Coilover Suspension for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
if you want it to handle the best possible on the street without it being harsh it's the way to go. It or Bilstein are the only thing I recommend for coil-overs other than pure race shocks. The B16/PSS9 is the only other one I'd recommend, but if you can afford it the nod goes to hlins.
HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
Same setup. Cold starts don't wake up the neighborhood, albeit you're by no means a Prius. But anything above 4.5k it definitely starts to scream. No drone. Windows up and music up, you won't even hear your own exhaust lol. By far my favorite sounding exhaust setup on these cars, loudness aside, the tone is just crisp, clear, and not muddy or raspy. Want to see what headers would do to this setup but I fear that it would get loud enough to get pulled over a lot :/

Yes, I believe that's revision C. Racing Beat is a good store for Mazda's, I'd trust them when they say it's the real OEM coilset.
The 2003-2008 RX8 is a distinct car with its own fitment, calibration and quirks. Parts selected without that in mind can cause more problems than they solve. However, every listing here is relevant to the Series 1 platform, so you can shop with confidence that what you are looking at was engineered for your car. For Mazda RX8 Series 1 parts Australia-wide, this is the range built specifically around the early-model car.
For owners who want the car to operate exactly as Mazda intended, genuine OEM components are the straightforward answer. Factory-correct fit means no adaptation, no calibration guesswork and no compromise on finish or function.
In addition, a new genuine part removes the unknown history that comes with second-hand components. Worn seals, fatigued springs, or sensors that are borderline but not yet failed are all hidden risks. Meanwhile, genuine Series 1 supply from the original chain continues to narrow over time. Therefore, sourcing them new while stock exists is the practical move.
Not every job calls for a factory replacement. Moreover, aftermarket RX8 Series 1 parts chosen for the early-model car often address areas where the OEM design left room for improvement. Cooling capacity, ignition performance, intake flow and suspension feel are common targets.
The rotary engine is more sensitive than most to consistent oil quality, coolant temperature and strong ignition. As a result, targeted reliability upgrades in those systems pay dividends in long-term dependability. Also, the right aftermarket component, chosen for your car’s condition, can make the Series 1 feel sharper than it did from the factory.
Used consistently, this approach keeps the early-model RX8 doing what it was built to do. Because the right parts matter, it delivers an involving, high-revving driving experience over real kilometres. That is what sourcing the right Mazda RX8 Series 1 parts Australia-wide is ultimately about.
The RX8 Series 1 covers model years 2003 to 2008. If your car falls within that range, it is a Series 1 and the parts listed under this category are the ones to browse first.
Check the fitment details on each individual product listing before ordering. If your car has been modified from its original configuration, compare the listed part against your vehicle carefully, as aftermarket changes can affect compatibility.
Yes, genuine Mazda components are available within this range. A new genuine part gives you factory-correct fit, calibration and finish, and removes the uncertainty of unknown wear history that comes with used or sourced second-hand parts.
Genuine OEM parts restore factory operation and finish exactly as Mazda intended, making them the straightforward choice for standard replacements. Aftermarket parts suit owners looking to tailor driving feel, presentation or build direction beyond the factory specification, with the right choice depending on the component and how the car is used.
Not necessarily. Series 1 (2003-2008) and Series 2 (2009-2011) RX8 models differ in several areas, including sensors, body components and some mechanical parts. Always confirm the stated fitment on the individual product listing before purchasing.
Yes, this range includes both factory-style replacements and aftermarket components suited to a considered ownership approach. Addressing worn components alongside relevant upgrades at the same time is a practical way to support long-term Series 1 reliability.
Where practical, yes. Grouping related servicing or replacement work together saves labour time and avoids disturbing the same area of the car twice. The product listings can help you identify what else may be worth addressing at the same time.
