Hi Nigel could you check to see if I have bought tickets as I cannot remember

Many thanks

Are you still running with the DSC active or is that long gone now? As you know I ran with the DSC system for a long time on the car but as the car got faster and faster, it was interfering with the speed of the car with braking and pulling the throttle off going down the straights , even the ABS s...

Were the pads fresh in for this event Clive? Thanks for the comments :thumleft: As for the pads, I was running new Ferodo Racing DS3000 in the front which is a Race Pad. (A pad I have sold to FD's for years and years with no complaints) They did the little run around with the club at Combe, which w...

In the words of Monty Python "My Brakes are bereth of life" ! I really wasn't joking when I said I ran out of brakes at Silverstone ;). With with the material gone, I used the metal backing to try and stop, then I even tried using the caliper piston against the disc as it made its way through the br...

Thanks Guys, Wheel spin I can handle, actually putting 2lbs in the rear was to make the car "turn" better which positioned the car better off Luffield which in turn let me gain better traction :mrgreen: Must admit the car has amazing front to rear balance because between very minor adjustments to ei...

Silverstone 7th April race report.🏁 Long read Qualifying went OK but felt there was more in the car to come, 3rd on the grid with 4 tenths covering the first three of us so I knew it would be close. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and after qualifying I added fuel, putting one ten litre can in and th...

This is a private sale as I was helping out a mate and was sent the wrong parts which cannot be returned :( As you can see from the picture these are a brand new pair for the front of an Automatic RX-8 and for sale at less than they cost me at £50 including delivery, PM me for more detail of how to ...

You use the supplied bolt to push the pellet right into the end of the shaft then refit the eccentric shaft bolt less the parts with the red cross in the attached picture.

Hope this helps

Photos Chris, lots of photos for reference

I was told yesterday Euro Car Parts are selling pattern sills.

Hope this helps

Thanks to Philip we have the race even with commentary, plus great pics from Malcolm. The pic he took below is probably the best I have seen

First thing is to thank Malcolm and Glenn for their help yesterday, but unfortunately due to first a battery error, then my own error, I came away with nothing to show for the day except for an intact healthy car, which a few didn’t due to blow ups and accidents, including the Jenson that destroyed ...

IMG_4598.JPG Right, we are ready for the off, with the car now sitting out at Brands Hatch ready for the first race of the season tomorrow with some 37 cars taking to the grid . Wow, its going to be a busy qualifying hopefully without too many lemmings behind the wheel who throw themselves off the ...

As said above standard Exedy clutch which are fitted to the RX-8 by Mazda is more than capable of handling any non turbo, non supercharged car, even if its fully bridge ported. As for the counter-balance weight, this is such a crucial component to the engine, I would never fit any thing other than a...

Go along to a local bearing/ seal company armed with the o ring and they will be able to match something up for him

Search something like SKF bearings to find a local distributor.

Here we go,

Wasn't trying like on a race day, but still got into the 1.17's which bodes well as this was what i was doing last year with race face on

No worry's Nigel, thanks for your work and everyone who made Saturday happen .

So pleased I had a chance to test the race car and had a great day out with all of you as well (as always). Probably the best the car has ever felt and feels much faster down the straights now it holds boost properly, also since the last Coombe outing the car has different spring rates, different br...

Thanks for the comments and asking how the car is. Cars fine,no harm done. A pipe came off the electric water pump, even though the pipe had been on there for three years, the pipe was just a little short and under a little tension. So pleased it happened just as I was about to call it a day, rather...

Thanks for the comments and wishes for the coming race season, HUGE entry already for my Track Attack series. Syracuse you will see that my friend who edits and puts together and posts them on YouTube has created my own Channel. If your interested you will find there are also loads of previous video...

When and where is the 1st race Clive? Going to use the car in at least two series / Track Attack series and the All Comers series and possibly Thunder Saloons but I need to buy some new soft slicks to be competitive in that.(sponsor's please form an orderly queue :mrgreen:) Track Attack Dates & All...

Had a good day up at Pip's (WGT Auto Developments) today with around 3 hours on the Dyno fine tuning my new wastegate system. Finally the ECU is seeing the boost through the solenoid operating the wastegate on the closed loop system shown below. Same BHP at just 1 Bar (14.5 psi) but now the boost ho...

Hi Guys

Cannot see this listed on the forum - are RX8OC attending this year? If so, assume that MRC members can join, or as the same format as last year?
