Re: R3 rear light disassembly
Note that the ABS system will fail the self-test if you just replace the 3rd brake bulb with either an led or a complete led unit, unless it also has a parallel resistor that takes the same current as the original bulb. :idea: Thanks for this Dave, I am hoping you have provided a logical answer to ...

Re: **SAFETY ALERT: Fuel Tank recall - Fuel Leaks & Other Issues"
I have followed the Spin doctor’s advice today, and emailed mmukassistance@mazdaeur.com to ask for my recall to be removed as my fuel basket was updated with a bigger pump and fresh lock rings when I fitted a return fuel line. I asked the dealer to acknowledge this but they haven’t so I’ve messaged ...

Re: Engine harness tuck ecu and fuse box relocate
I’ve removed my stock ECU (altogether) and put the Haltech replacement in the glove box on my Turbo 8. It’s a road car and unlike a track car where it’s easy to strip out and only put things back that are needed I’ve had to be a bit creative. I’ve had an aluminium box made that fits where the ECU wa...

Re: Decent fuel hose which doesn't perish after 5 months
I’ve used ASH (AutoSiliconeHoses) which is on eBay and completely re-plumbed all hoses, fuel lines (stainless braided- be really careful where you get this from there is some poor imitation stuff out there). Good for stainless hardpipes too

Re: COME ON THE COPPERS!
I did let the tuner road test it. Bearing in mind he’s tuned a few RX7’s and track racers he came back with a huge grin on his face, said he’s not driven anything quite like it and he’d scared a guy who tried it on in a Porsche by flaming him accidentally (!) and told me not to plant my right foot w...

Re: COME ON THE COPPERS!
I could push it towards 450 at the wheels, but it’s such a great set up and so nimble and well handling there is little point in pushing the engine. It’s akin to linear power, it’s so smooth and it really gets away well, and the change to a five speed box means it’s very well mannered around town bu...

Re: COME ON THE COPPERS!
A good mate and me, he’s an RX7 fan and rebuilt the engine, all new or refurbed, will be able to increase power but tuner asked me to get used to 1 bar, it’s pretty impressive as is to be honest
