Re: ***Oxfordshire Meet - Weds 27th Mar***19:00 onwards meet, 19:30 food***

Looking forward to mine being back on the road next week and hopefully we can time a meet for us all to be in a...

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

Do you know if that wheel is "as made" or has it ever been powder coated? Many powder coaters, especially those that do other stuff, like garden gates, as well as alloy wheels, have their ovens set to high and/or have inconsistent temperatures within the oven. The result is that the alloy...

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

8.1 compression on 78k Toug? You sure on the accuracy of that new reader? It made me wonder… If this was one of those Aussie testers then the readings could be suspect but as it’s the “original” time proven American tester I reckon the readings are true, but of course another test would verify the ...

Re: Harry's GL04 MXU Project Banana!

That has struck a chord. I remember someone actually cut the loom mountings in the door and straightened the routing which provided enough extra length to allow operation of the doors without cutting and lengthening the wires , all 17 of them if I remember correctly!

Re: Harry's GL04 MXU Project Banana!

No doubt you already have a set of door looms you can use to extend the wiring but if not i have just unearthed a couple which may be useful to you as it means you just have one connection per wire to make rather than splicing in a section and having two joints. As a sparky though that's probably no...
