I hope nobody minds me mentioning it on this thread, but on the topic of above ^ I've had a Mishimoto oil cooler line set with the wrong fittings before (nothing to do with RRP, supplied elsewhere). Bags labelled with the part that should be included, but the fitting being the wrong size / not what ...

If Chris Holmes has bought ANOTHER bargain, I'm gonna have to tell Kathy what he really paid for them

One of those cars that I could never take my eye off since seeing it at Rockingham in 2016, I hope it stays at least within arms reach of the club!

Nah. Until they can prove (as they reasonably should be able to given their budgets) on a dyno that it actually improves power (increased airflow isn't much good if all that extra air is roasting hot) then keep your money in your wallet. You're not expected to be a risk taker / guinea pig AND spend ...

Just off the A275? I maaaaay be able to help but at that mileage if certainly could be compression (or it won't be great either way) and there's not much I could do to fix it if that is the case. I'm picking some stuff up from my unit at the weekend and could drop something off as I drive back if it...

I had issues with a dashcam which was due to a fake SanDisk microSD card - it worked fine for a while, they didn't, and would sometimes not record sound, or anything. Fake flash memory is rampant these days, even items priced at roughly what you'd expect them to be if genuine. Diagnosed with "ATTO D...

I am refurbing the rear drive shafts

I'm not surprised!
The shaft has clearly shattered into 3 pieces and flew to bits

It was just Nigel's cat sitting on the Refresh button

I've had a Twisted Rotors TR-01 for years, always treated me well.

They're quite new to the market, built by a chap called Ciprian Dalvaru in Bucharest.

This seller is seemingly not impressed, yay rotary community doing it's thing. Drama drama llama.

That's the one! There's usually a little metal bracket and pipe under the APV motor that is part of the pipework also. The two nipples higher up (rear has a rubber cap in place, front is missing the cap) are the service/maintenance nipples where Mazda suggest to use for their version of Seafoam (Zoo...

If you take the lower intake manifold off, you will see two hollow metal straws (4), forking out like a snake's tongue into the centre iron, directed at the lower part of the primary ports (3). This air is fed from one of the 3 delicate plastic 90 degree elbows housed on the intake accordion pipe, n...

I should hope that we can trust the RAC to do a simple test - for half the price you could stick some K-Seal in it and possibly get some more miles out of it (though not without the usual caveats).

To be honest I doubt it needs a rotary specialist - they'd be no more clued up than a regular mechanic when it comes to checking for exhaust gasses in the coolant - they'll use the same tool and there's no user input / deciphering required. If you can read a pregnancy test, you can tell if a water s...

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Sandicliffe Loughborough, May 2019 I think? Can try and find out but that's probably correct.
4. -
5. No.
6. Yes.
7. Yes they totally bodged my LCAs while sorting out that recall, but no problems fuel related.

I've cracked a rear iron getting a flywheel undone before, so I'll take a ring gear over that happening again

The 3-tooth design has been used for years and builders use them, too. It'll be reet.

Didn't you use Atkins seals also? I'm guessing that they may not have been kind to the housings either

Yes it will probably be a struggle to get them online in the UK, but have you asked your local Mazda dealer? They've usually managed to get me parts overnight and I do believe sometimes with a small OC discount. I'm pretty sure (happy to be corrected) that the club stock of them came from a UK Mazda...

Visited Rotary Revs (Motorsports and Performance Ltd) ...

Dave! Good to see you're still about and enjoying the car

I hope that yourself and the wife are keeping well

Have I missed something or is this the part that is needed and it somehow hasn't been linked yet?
Pretty sure they can be had from Mazda dealers.

Sounds like Carl did what he did correctly then.

"disconnecting the ESS doesn't make any difference to the compression. However, it doesn't prevent the coils being triggered which could otherwise interfere with the tester readings." Shouldn't that be: " DOES prevent the coils being triggered" ? fixed using my new powers.(Chris) Because, it does di...

Pop the air box back and up (no need to unplug MAF etc). Reach under it, and between the AC belt - unplug the crank position sensor electrical plug. Spark and fuel disabled, is now ready for comp test. A plug out of each rotor, top or bottom doesn't matter. Throttle pedal up or down, doesn't really ...
