Re: RRP COFS extended bolt size/length?

Stainless steel into aluminium alloy is a bad combination, because they react and seize in place. Better with just blacked/zinc coated steel, as per OEM Well that was what is supplied, I actually used Grade 5 Ti courtesy of a certain large aero engine manufacturer when I fitted my COFS. * * Del.

Re: Rear calipers

Hello all, I have a left rear caliper that keeps sticking, ever since a run in with a salted road in winter. The local garage are saying a new caliper is needed.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????

I did a thing.. Bought that "modified" rear wing that's been floating around the club and took it back to basics. Didn't want to butcher my PZ wing so bought a stock boot lid and went from there. I think it looks much better personally but hey.. I'm an accountant! https://uploads.tapatalk...

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????

Collected the yella . On initial inspection it seems actually quite a solid car for a twenty year old RX-8 so quite happy with that. I will see where the engine is at in terms of compression tomorrow, ignition is clearly knackered so possibly original coils and the starter sounds original too. IMG_...

Winter projects are rumbling on for the PZ, but nothing is ever straightforward. Does anyone have any experience running both a Revi airbox and a 53mm Koyo radiator? I have just attempted to fit a Revi and noted that the Koyo is partially blocking the space behind intake hole that the connects the ...
