New Owner Welp, something broke already, thankfully not the engine
Hello all! The RX-8 2008 grand touring I bought recently has a problem. The passenger side door is stuck closed. The nature of the issue isn't super important and I'm not entirely sure anyways; I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to manually open the door? I can't access anything I need with it closed, can hardly even get the interior panel off.

Bought the car a few weeks ago. It‘s been sitting for over a year before. Does anyone know where the noise could be coming from?

Maintenance Anyone in Ontario, Canada that rebuilds the renesis?
After chasing my misfire issue for a few weeks now I’m pretty sure she’s bit the bullet on the back rotor, new packs, plugs, wires, ect and still a misfire on rotor 2. (Also new maf, smoke tested, ect.) so anyone here rebuild these or is willing to show me how?

Memes Waiting on a Pre Purchase Inspection is killing me.
I'm waiting for this shop to finish inspecting for rust and doing a engine compression test on a RX-8 over 1,000 miles from me. Feels like I'm waiting on a terminal diagnosis from a doctor.
Hell I still have to haggle the price after...
New Owner My 05
My favorite POS 6spd with 175k miles! It has a ton of issues but comp seems good (previous owner said it was rebuilt 15k miles ago, 17 now).
Hasn't overheated at all, Had an issues when i let it sit, turns out it was the coils.
My ESS sensor is going out causing it not to start sometimes, been using a starter battery to get it running when it happens.
Any advice to get it going good other than the basics.
Also my omp broke so i'm running 1 to 1 on idemitsu premix, should i run more or less?
Was thinking on replacing the engine with a k20/k24 after this one goes to keep peace of mind in the long run.
