Hi, Im after the lower r/h air conditioning pipe that goes from the rad upto the underside of the forward right charging point. I have a series 1, not sure if the r3 is the same? If so, and available, please could i have price including postage. Thanks, Phil IF BigPete Hasn’t got the part to need I...

If it was a straight swap then I’ll go for it.
Not really bother about diff ratios at the moment as it got a 3:45.1 diff and only running 14” Wheels.
So that’s all over the place.

What’s the difference between the Series 1 gearbox and the R3. And would it fit the series 1. Is the gearbox good and mileage. 99% certain that the R3 box doesn't mate up to an S1 engine I'm afraid. That said, with enough money, fabrication and sheer determination you probably could make it work :D...

13b capri?...best or worst of both worlds?

Sshh that’s line of thought.

I have a spare 231 engine that I’m stripping to rebuild.
With sump and inlet manifold.
If you want one just to borrow your more than welcome,
But I do need it back.

Try swapping the coils leads and plugs over.
So in theory changing between the two rotors.
Then see if the problem has moved to the other rotor chamber.

The Mazda ECU does have its limits to mapping. But to get the absolute best out of the Engine and ECU a aftermarket ECU is the way to go. A Dyno and mapping session with a trusted and reputable ECU guru is also money well spent. Rotarys are quite precise to get everything (Timing and Fueling) spot o...

Is it worth taking the belts off.
Starting the engine (Only Briefly) and check if the noise is there or not.

Mazda workshop manual belt deflection is less than 8mm.

You could use talcum powder.

Drop dawyne a email and ask if it’s alright I you strip the engine down. He may want to strip it down his self. I’m guessing they work on other cars at Silver Fern judging by they web site blurb. Machining: Major components are machined to O.E drawing specification tolerances. The cylinder blocks ar...

The original suppliers have possibly closed shop at the moment due to Coronavirus.

Have you tested the AEM coils.

Gutted but happy for you.
Was she driven or trailered away.

Is the new owner a Rotary or Westfield nut or both.

It’s about 10” long 5.5” high and 4” wide. Internal battery that can be charged by Wall Charger Cig lighter ETC. But can not charge and wash at the same time. Couldn’t really justify the cost of the Worz one at the time. It does want I want it to do. And sits in the the Mequires Bucket ready for use...

My PT Cruiser had a red top fitted from factory.
Never had a problem with it.
But to be honest the longest I left it was twelve days started after without a problem.

If someone has left a Varta on a RX8 for longer I would go for the Varta.

I got one these from Autosport show.
Full kit £70
Done my works truck and car yesterday used 25lts water.
Just the one water container.

About as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Local DPD centre had all there catalytic converters stolen overnight
About 20 vans.
Three days later they went back and nicked the new ones they just replaced.

The catalytic converters now have a steel tubing boxing them in.

Oil leak from sump advisory

30 minutes max to change each Bush
Providing them come out easy
That 2 hours at the dealer rate
Not really much difference in price.

Edit
On top of price to remove and fit arms.

Is there a poly Bush available for the RX8 S1 and R3. https://www.powerflex.co.uk/products/RX-8+%282003-2012%29-318/1.html You will need to check the original part numbers on the Mazda bushes to make sure they are the same.
