Don't think I saw it mentioned but there is one called Synionic Rotary which is a 10W30. I'd never heard it till TPS mentioned it, but looks like it's designed for rotaries. Not sure if anyone uses it and has feedback but sounds good. I'll be using Millers Trident 10W40 for the moment and first oil ...

Yeah good luck with getting the car going Ollie. Sounds like a right pain. Sadly I have no useful advice to help, but hope you get it going with the advice of those far more knowledgeable than I.

I had no idea about the offer till I went to buy so thought I'd let peeps know. I was just looking for the cheapest postage and packaging option, so that's why I was looking at different sites, and luckily saw this on demon tweeks. No idea how long it will last but fingers crossed it's till next wee...

I had to look up Dvorak....? :lol: :lol: Don't worry it's probably a good thing you didn't know. Sadly, it shows my geekiness. We had a running joke about this at my old job as the thing you definitely won't figure out without looking it up is how to actually pronounce it. My old boss kept saying i...

I think he meant to type DNK but was sitting slightly right of the keyboard

I don't think we should assume. Ollie might be a dvorak keyboard guy rather than qwerty ...

Pretty sure FML is used frequently in Superbad, which is one of my favourite movies, so ashamed I didn't know.

As my memory deteriorates, in my old age, all i remember from that movie is Mclovin...

Could you enlighten me too Ollie? :? I guessed it as this one, which seems to be most common interpretation. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/what-does-fml-mean Urban dictionary has it as 'fix my lighthouse' as the top definition, so I might have misunderstood. Don't know what Ollie me...

Oh man Vinod... I can't afford more expenditures this week fml.

Sorry Ollie! Had to look up fml.... not up to date with you cool kids and your acronyms!

Just ordered some millers trident 10w40 from demon tweeks. 1L bottles are 50% off at £5.42 and 5L 39% off at £16.02 in case anyone wants to pick up some.

Let's hope! I think it's all heading in the right direction. Let's hope we get an Indian summer so we can also enjoy some of the sun we've missed during lockdown....

Really brought the colour out when it came out of the valet. Lurvely.

I agree the wheels are close but just need to be a slightly
different shade. Maybe bronze. Can't quite put my finger on it...

I remember when mine went a few years ago. I went to a kart race first thing in the morning in Chatham and on the way everytime I braked the car pulled to one side. I thought that's weird but I just thought I'd make it to the race and investigate after. On the way home I did some more brake tests an...

I remember you mentioned the rust when we met Duncan, but it's a shame it's so bad !! Will be a major project but that the same time you'll be able to Vactan everything like Phil did and really make a good future proofed car, so once you make it out at the end you will have a solid car that will las...

The good thing is you are able to hit that 155 mph limit that alot of the other cars have, so it means they won't just edge away on the straight after you've done the work and outdriven them in the corners!

well, when it revved out in 5th and was still pulling hard in 6th (that might equate to it still accelerating at 154 mph and i have no doubt it would break the 160 barrier...) i decided that the improvement is quite profound. Hi qwakers, I think I missed what you did afterwards with your replacemen...

So after splurging some money on the rex I collected my pulleys and sump from Ryan rotary performance ....

So purpley. One of the things I've been recommended since my rebuild is purple coolant. No idea what it does but I instantly thought of your car when it was mentioned!

It’s the one thing that has always frustrated me with our RX8’s is that by the look of the car you should be able to cruise past a Clio 172/182 down the straight but it just won’t. I remember one time when a Megane renaultsport showed me up massively. The one with the va va voom behind. I was comin...

I thought I wouldn't but I think that colour combo looks good. Very Ironman. In a good way!

I need to get one of these. Would be tres useful methinks

Hi New Duke, If it helps here some vids of my SSV rattling. Apologies my phone isnt as good as yours but i think you can still make out the sounds, and it going away when I press it right. https://youtu.be/mNVzYFJuKBI Here's my engine when it was hot. There was another strange tapping noise which th...

Mine is a 2nd car as well, a PZ version. The family car is a CX-5. Used mostly to go to karting events, and the odd mid-month drive to keep everything charged up. About 3000-4000 miles a year I reckon. Apart from one time due to a solar charger diode going the wrong way on me, never had a problem ju...

I am doing all the flying back from Australia which will be fun as I am again going to try to hit Mach 0.925. I remember the big problem (from my aeronautics days) with getting to Mach 1 with civil aircraft was the transonic shockwave on top of the wing where air velocity is greatest. I remember Ma...

They look like kPa. So you would divide by 100 if so, which will give you bar, which unless I'm mistaken is what mazda testers would usually report in. Would be good to ask the tester what units for sure though.
