I bought my first RX-8 new I looked at and test drove both versions and didn`t find a great deal of difference in performance but I wanted a car in Black with Black & Red leather interior and I could afford a 230 bhp car with cloth or a 190 with the leather so that is what I bought and never regrett...

So in researching the RX-8 the best he could find was a written off PZ due to a "Big dent" a 2+2 (or 3) that has useless back seats, looks strange, drinks fuel and oil, has warped brake discs and has soft suspension (at 13 years old?) a pity it wasn`t raining no doubt he would have discovered just h...

There are simple alternatives Trembler alarm it just needs to not be super sensitive. Digital Tilt & Shock Sensor could be simply connected to a separate siren. Mercury tilt switches can be bought with varying degrees of angular activation or adjustable tilt angle or even with a sensor that sets its...

They must be jacking the car up - all hell is let loose if you jack my daughters Mini Cooper without disarming the alarm first so we need some clever bod to come up with a simple addition/modification to the RX-8 set up.

Hey Del, how quickly do your HIDs fire-up?

It is literally a few seconds before they power up fully using Bosch Ballast`s which might be a problem if the dipped beam extinguished when switching due to that slight pause but with the HID dipped beam on its not a problem.

I have recently bought a 40th anniversary in white however it looks as though Mazda could not be bothered to put any numbering on it, is there any way I can find out the number? 001 - 400 on numbered plaques were allocated for the 40th Anniversary edition when I took delivery of mine the sill plate...

Mine has passed on an MOT with HID main beams for 8 years now probably because the car complies with headlight Auto levelling and washers.

Just change to a H9 6000K HID kit for the best light output also replace the dipped beam D2S bulb with a 6000K just gives a slight tinge of blue.

Still harbouring that grudge Del :?: :lol: Perish the thought Mark - we all make mistakes and we all need to move on after our trials and tribulations even if Coventry Mazda really is pathetic and useless! Somebody said they wouldn`t pay them in tap washers [-X I disagree - I would pay them in tap ...

I don`t wish to put you off but Coventry Mazda: Whilst replacing a worn drivers leather seat cover on my first RX-8 they managed to gouge a large scratch on the plastic back of the passenger seat but left me to find it so it had to go back for that, some time later I found they had broken the plast...

Forget LED bulbs they are hopeless as replacements for dipped/main beams, HID lamps (Xenons) are good replacements for H7 Halogen bulbs but you need H7R bulbs in an open reflector or a H7 HID will work OK in the RX-8 projector lenses never had a problem with either of these. Have had H9 HID`s in the...

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!
