Since selling my Nordic Green 231 back in 2011 (YP55 AXX, in case it's still kicking around?) I've missed having an RX-8 in my life. So, after much searching, I've finally purchased an R3 as a second car (/ man toy)

Went to see it on the promise of good compression from Kent Rotaries last year...

Hi all,

Just gone to install a parrot kit into my new 8 and am having some issues. It's all plumbed in and playing music fine, but whenever I make or receive a call, only the front speakers work and the rears give off a bad static like interference noise, which alters in pitch with the car revs....

Hello, rx8'ers

I'm after the air con pipe that goes from the lower r/H radiator connection up to the r/H side charging valve. Please see attached pic. Could do with one asap as ideally I'd like it fitted before the weekend if at all possible. Going away and it's looking rather toasty this weekend 😅

For sale is a Japspeed intake with around 3000 miles on it including a tread stone mesh air intake purchased about 1000 miles ago.

Selling due to getting an AEM intake.

Looking for around £60.

Postage at buyers expense.

Cheers for looking.

I have an r magic style rear bumper that i was planning to put on my car however, I have now got a Mazdaspeed bumper which I am using instead. The bumper is in okay shape but will need a bit of filler and then priming and painting.

Offers around £30.

Collection from Coventry Cv1 only due to...

Hi

Have one of these for sale, however I believe the wire wool baffling inside has rusted as there’s bits of metal falling out.

I have run with this on, however I cannot comment on noise reduction as I have nothing to compare to.

I can confirm with my previous single exit and this unit was...

My rear bumper was repaired by my (old) insurer last year after being rear-ended. They glued one part back together and at the time I wasn't happy about it. I looked today and unsurprisingly the glue has come away.

I'd like to fix it myself. Does any one know what the snapped part below is? It...

When the garage told me my car needed a new cat I assumed the insides had crumbled, turns out it passed the emissions test and just has a gaping hole in the bottom...
Excuse the rubbish photo, it's a screenshot of a video from my phone that I slid under the car.

Assuming the insides are still ok,...

So im finally getting around to getting the recall work done on my 8.

This may be a stupid question but does anyone know the standard ride height for a 2008 RX8?
I've had some Tein suspension fitted and they haven't done a thing with the ride height and it measures different side to side (2.5cms at the back).
I forgot to take measurements before I gave them the car....

Hi All,

Got a set of lightly used Tein S Tech Lowering Springs,

Based in Croydon near good old Shagrington, free to collect, although I do have a box I can use to ship if buyer is happy to arrange collection from a courier service.

Note, I should of given them a wipe before taking a picture but...

Set of Rotary Revs D585 coils which were taken off of a new Rx8 that I picked up so unsure on the mileage but seem to be in decent condition.

Selling due to having a set of RRP Mk3’s from my other Rx8.

Looking for around £150.

Collection from Coventry Cv1 preferred, but can also post at buyers...

Hi all :)

Hopefully this is the right place to put this, happy to move it if not.

Yesterday I took my baby out on Castle Combe and had a blast nailing her about at silly speeds. Even on a stock setup, these cars are so much fun on track :D

Part way through the day the car developed a fairly...

Bonjour.

My 2005 RX8, currently with Chris Holmes getting all sorts of lovely work done, has a rusty sill on the passenger side. It needs to be repaired but I am considering the merits of a re-shell and I would be glad to hear your thoughts on this.

The drivers side already has a recently...

I have a Toyosports exhaust and I'm wanting to swap the cat out fora decat and was wondering if anyone had a decat they're not using, as I want to sell my cat and I don't fancy spending a fortune on a decat 🙂

Hi
I have a track day on Sunday and the weather forecast is for 37 degrees c question is how can I keep the car and me cool?
Any other hot weather advice welcome.
Thanks mark

Have an oem style catalyst supplied by Rotary Revs with a gold rebuild in late May 2017.
Was only on the car until May 2018 covering 3500 to 4000 miles, when it was replaced with a 200 cel unit. Been stored in my dry garage, in wraps since then.
Looking for £100 collected only, from Leamington Spa...

Thank you very much for the invitation :). Best wishes.
PS: How are you? I am from France :)

Hi all,

Leaning more towards decating my RX-8 after the next mot. It's currently got a working OEM cat which I'd like to preserve, and it came with a gutted OEM cat. Just wondering whether there are any benefits to running a purpose built aftermarket decat or should I stick with the gutted cat I...

Sorry if this has been answered a million times but I couldn;t find an answer.

Assuming you go for one of the fixed price rebuild options, such Rotary Revs or RRP, is that price really fixed or if the engine is really bad and need additional parts does he price go up?

Just weighing up the merits...

Looking to gauge interest on the suspension currently on my car! Mileage is unknown but the overall condition looks fair. Price is including P&P and pictures will be included soon as I can get all 4 wheels off the car again.

As far as I can see mostly all of the outer coating around the springs...

Hi all

I'd like to give my S1 RX8 a make-over and make it look like an R3 (yes, that's cheating, but don't care 8) ) . But, I have no idea how much this will set me back and if it's worth it to buy all these parts from multiple vendors.

When searching on ebay, it seems that buying a whole R3...

The lawn mower featured here

is a 1980's MTD Lawn Tractor with a 500cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, 4-stroke OHV Briggs & Stratton engine.

It was give to us 6 years ago, just before we moved over to NI, because our neighbour was so frustrated that it wouldn't start, from one week to the next....

Does anyone have a pair of 5x114 spacers kicking arounf I could borrow to do some testing.
Not sure If I'm going to need 15 or 20s so would like to borrows a set of 15s to test before buying. I'll also accept a pair of 20s if that helps
If they turn out to be suitable then I'm happy to either buy...

Hi all,

Has anyone ever taken part in the CCRC charity track day? Spoke to someone from Combe on the phone and implied it was a similar format to their normal track days.

However this seems a reasonable price at £150 in August.

They do also have another normal track day on the 28th August at...

Hi

Took my decat off a while ago and was going to put it up for sale. I notice a strange sound when tilting it, almost like sand grains. I had no issues with the unit but before I put it up for sale wanted to check.

Anyone had/seen this?

As tittle.

I have a set of r3 skirts that could be part of a deal?
Thanks

Hi,

My 2004 192 runs fine, starts hot & cold and pulls like a train but since owning it the hot idle seems a little low and drops markedly lower when the A/C is switched on. It never stalls but there is a slight vibration being caused by the lowish tickover (new engine mounts were fitted upon...
