Evening all,

In my ongoing strive to look after the car(s) properly without having a driveway of my own on which to happily do work or clean them, I've been looking into the best way to provide some kind of portable fix for washing the cars.

Long and short of it is I park my cars in what is...

Can someone please explain to me how the different DSC modes differ on the RX8?
From what I understand, DSC ON offers stability control as well as traction control, DSC off means stability control off but traction control remains on. And the final mode if you hold it in for 7 seconds, is all...

i contacted carl 2 weeks ago today, this is the pm i sent him...

how much for a remote map? ive got a laptop, mazdaedit and a tactrix all paired up and working so you dont need to send me your kit.

his reply truly surprised me, and certainly not in a bad way!

You've had enough bad luck with...

Hi all, not sure how to explain this one. So here goes, bit of a long shot but....... Having an aem fitted I've lost support now for the engine cover at that side. I believe aem had produced a cover support thingy, but seems they're rare alright. Anyone have one or ideas as to one support the...

Good evening.

I have some standard wheels for sale if anyone is interested? These have never been fitted to my car for the 4 years I’ve had it. I did intend to refurb them but never got round to doing it and they’re just gathering dust in the garage.

As per the title they do need a refurb due to...

I think I've damaged the wireing, while removing exhaust.
If anyone has a working one?
Price posted please

Just removed this from my car. Comes complete with everything except the packaging box. Was fully working when it was installed in my car. Just not a big fan of it. Will add a picture after I go get it out of my passenger footwell. Price includes P&P.

Hi. Looking for a good condition center iron plate for 6 port

Afternoon Everybody,

Had a spare bit of time today and had ago at getting some of the sound proofing out of the boot using heat gun and scrapper and I'm now left with this mess.

Looks like someone's had a massive accident lol.

Any thoughts on how I might be able to clean this up ? going to...

Hi,

I've noticed that the front right hand side speakers are no longer working, though all the others are working fine. I've reseated the big connector on the back of the radio multiple times and none of the pins on the radio (or sockets in the connector) appear to be bad , so I'm hoping there is...

Hi guys,

Thought it was about time I put together a little thread of my own, to keep track of the cars progress through my ownership and see how it changes as I become better acquainted with it. My aim is to improve the reliability, get her running and driving better and make a few modifications...

What’s people’s thoughts on the Rx8 being a third car do they need to be run regular to improve reliability? If I get one I will only tax during summer months and SORN the rest.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Rx8 And it’s a itch that needs itched but when I only had 1 car it was used for 250...

I've captured some test audio from my exhaust. Some cruising, and some pulls from 0-60, and 30-60. Nothing faster and no stationary revving... as the car draws enough attention round here.

For anyone who wants to hear it the audio is here, download it for the best quality:

A few of my thoughts:...

Hi Peeps,

After a velocity red rear passenger side door. Colour match not important, but must not have dents or corrosion. Doesn't matter about door cards, window or anything like that, just needs to not have a number of dents like my current one :D

Figured it might be easier to source a cheap...

I replaced my (presumably) OEM filter that came with my RX-8 today. It was a bit grubby and I couldn’t find proof of a recent replacement in the service records.

So, a good excuse to get a K&N panel filter in there:...

Hi All.

I just wanted to give everyone the heads up that I am just starting to strip my RX8 2005 (192).

Being that I live on the Isle of Wight the salt air and winter roads have not been kind to the chassis, this unfortunately is beyond my skill-set or budget to...

Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light on a issue I am having.

When I accelerate through my gears and go past 5k rpm it starts making a very fine spluttering noise and struggles to rev more. If I am stationary and rev the car then it goes all the way up and seems fine.

It has 53k on the...

Hi guys,

I'm on the lookout for a pair of known good engine mounts. Not looking for anything special, just looking for standard mounts really, but I will consider other alternatives.

Let me know what you have!

Thanks.

My second Ring 'Heavy Duty' air compressor has failed in less than a couple of months. The first one lasted a year then ate itself, this last one looks to have shipped with a wiring fault and keeps blowing fuses in both my cars. Those kind of portable 12V compressors never seem to last long with...

The time has come for an underside restoration so,

Would anyone happen to have any of the following for sale:

Front subframe in good condition, some rust is fine as it will be sandblasted
Rear Control Arms ideally with bushes in good condition
Battery\Airbox crossmember

Thanks

Paul

These are from a time that I was doing headlight stuffs.

These are a pair of 231 Xenon headlights with all bulbs present. They were opened up, painted black and red (not Velocity Red) and had a pair of RGB halos fitted.

The halo in one side is not quite perfect (as pictured) and they have some...

Anybody got a Nitrous and a Fuel solenoid for sale? Preferably Wizards of Nos ones?

Cheers

Thought I would make a few notes on the tasks I have been doing during lockdown. Memory isn't what it used to be and I thought this might help me remember what I'm supposed to be doing instead of surfing forums and porn sites.
It all started with having to change the dust seal on the front, right...
