Re: Track tyres....

How about Zestino’s? They are becoming regarded as a good budget track day tyre that are priced like Federals and apparently a bit better. Also, to the person that finds the tyres fall off after 8 laps, what mods do you have to keep you out there that long? I’ve got a bone stock 8 and I was getting ...

Re: Track tyres....

R888Rs. I just used them at Blyton on 17x9 wheels with 255/40R17 square on my bone stock RX-8 with cat and roly-poly stock suspension. I was running within half a second of a RX-8 on Federals with coilovers, ARBs, track alignment, full Racing Beat exhaust, uprated discs and pads, and an experienced ...

Re: Rotary Compression results

My recently purchased RX-8 showed 6.7-7.0 compression results on all 3 faces front and rear. It’s previous two owners were 65+ years old. I’ve put 1,000 miles on it since I took over ownership and have been redlining it 5-10 times per drive. I tested the car last Saturday out of curiosity at Rotor ...

Re: Rotary Compression results

When I looked for ages for a good RX8, I have not come across a single engine with such high compression figures like @350matt already mentioned. Best I have seen is mid or high 7's even on fully rebuilt engines. Perhaps worth another compression test at a different place for repeatability? Yes, th...

Re: Rotary Compression results

Results are fine. Sprint RX8 is off his rocker.

If you like the car, buy it. These cars are cheap as chips still anyway.

Re: Rotary Compression results

I’m just saying from the factory you don’t need to cut the side seals. Just match the code with the rotor and be done. I think the engine is fine and really good compared to a lot of what you usually see with rebuilds Barry making mid 6s because the housings are too worn and the rebuilds themselves ...

Re: Rotary Compression results

Those results are fine. Side seals on this car are not spec’d by hand as Mazda only sells them in like one size uncut. That’s why compression is usually all over the shop compared to being very even on earlier RX-7s where you were instructed to cut them and hone them to spec. The results look good. ...

Re: ^^^Rotary Only Track Day Blyton Park - Fri 5th July 2019 - SOLD OUT^^^

I just desire a good link in the rotary community. When I joined the community was separated into factions following this tuner or that tuner, and following this car or that car. The RX8OC was a great first exposure and I have been trying to get more engagement from the FD community since owning my ...

Re: ^^^Rotary Only Track Day Blyton Park - Fri 5th July 2019 - SOLD OUT^^^

Geeze, so many rotary guys (RX-8 and RX-7) are bringing their entire tool sheds with them.

Anyone keen on rebuilding a 13b on the day for 7s day?

Re: ^^^Rotary Only Track Day Blyton Park - Fri 5th July 2019 - SOLD OUT^^^

I'm literally sticking to oil, premix, brake fluid, de-ionised water, CG-Locks, and a Ryobi air pump.

Hope it's sufficient!

One week until the event! Who else is excited? I will bring my timing gear and GoPro and I hope others do some recording on the day as well. There will be a small Youtuber there who owns the track day company and he hasn't reviewed a RX-8 yet so if you are willing to allow him to drive one on the ci...

Re: ^^^Rotary Only Track Day Blyton Park - Fri 5th July 2019 - £179^^^

Hey everyone,

We officially have 1 month to go until the track day. 3 spots available to sell this track day out. It's taken a lot of effort to organise this and get people excited about it and I hope we end up with a great day out and turn it into a celebration for Rotary Day.

Re: ^^^Rotary Only Track Day Blyton Park - Fri 5th July 2019 - £179^^^

The car is insured for more than its market value, so if I do bend it, they pay out 5 grand on a car that I couldn't sell for 2. Accidents do happen, and while I realise that there isn't much to hit, I have track day insurance as part of my policy for a reason. Magnitude Events says to try Moris In...

Righto, slight hiccup - Magnitude Events aren't listed as an approved provider by my insurers, so I'll need to check with them to see if I can get cover for the day. Hopefully have an update tomorrow.
What exactly are you afraid to hit? And is your car really worth enough to insure it?

Latest update is 20 cars.

A Lotus Exige Cup 360 with a very good driver will be joining us (have passengered with him before) and it will give us something to chase down on the day.
