As has been said forget LED bulbs I have tried several and they give a bright white light but the intensity is pitiful in dipped and main beams even compared to Ye Olde Halogen bulbs, the only way to improve lighting is with an HID kit and in the 190 bhp car it is a good improvement and due to the P...

What colour are they and the trousers look to be a bit short in the leg - did they shrink in the watch?

If you use the RRP coils most use the better Magnecor leads and as the lead connectors are the same as the OE Mazda leads you can also re-fit OE coils if you need to, D585 coils use different leads.

There used to be quite a few much regarded rust proofing companies like Zeibart in the UK but then they died out when the car industry started to make cars that didn`t rust.
That didn`t last did it!

Not a contender but I once owned a 1959 Austin A40 Farina for some strange reason, it was gifted to me by the wife of my Dads boss as my Mini was in its death throes, at that time the Reg No was 21 JPB and after I broke the crank in it I rebuilt the engine some what modified as the stock output was ...

My 1973 Triumph GT6 MkII HHP 648L is as far back as I can go all the other cars I have owned and there has been many all appear to be dead and buried even my fibre glass bodied Reliant Scimitar GTE is no longer in existence but the GT6 of which there are 1004 left with 809 on sorn mine included is s...

Whomever you sold it on to (if a trader) wouldn`t they have detail of the present owner.

.. but you would have drawn up a sales contract with the new owners name and address surely. In addition having just sold my other car I got the new owner to fill in their details on the V5 before registering the change on the DVLA website just to confirm in the event of any traffic offence once it...

Remember the days of horrific rust problems on Vauxhall, Alfa, Lancia & various Japanese marques etc and then rust prevention processes improved immensely but we seem to be going back there again, I recall a few years back at a Mazda dealer the service manager claiming that some MK3 MX5`s had some b...

I know it is a common fix for a faulty expansion tank to disconnect the sensor but if you consider that there are two essentials for the good health of the engine which is oil and coolant it has got to be a false economy to drive without a low level coolant level warning for the sake of the cost of ...

If you don`t start RX-8 ownership with a decently sorted example then expect trouble, you have a 14 year old car on 74K miles and you say "The coils, plugs and leads look very old and it hasn't had the starter upgrade" so there is bound to be problems isn`t there. I bought a 20 year old Porsche 911 ...

That would be JDM BHP, so more like 260-320 in our money, as they define/measure differently

Our 231 = 250 JDM
Our 192 = 210 JDM

With the reported use of plastics/carbon fibre light weight body/chassis parts etc then those figures would be acceptable.

Reports suggest 300-350 bhp.
