Mine is on the blink (literally) - starting to flicker, and the passenger airbag light only works if the temperature suits it, or the gravity is correct, or I've given it a whack from the top.

It's probably possible to repair by reflowing, but I want to get a spare if any are available second hand...

Hello!
I hope I can post this as a guest, I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise.

I currently own an '05 Celica and an '03 Octavia. Having just bought a house (which importantly has a driveway and garage) I feel like I'm in a good position to be irresponsible and finally get an RX8 after...

Hey hey,

So i posted in the hello im new here thread but, I do want to post what i do to my car/service as a means to log things and changes that are made even the small things.

Now while i've managed to basically do no work on cars apart from a tyre change, fluid top ups, and a windscreen resin...

Hey!

Thought I'd make a thread too to actually start documenting what I do to my poor car
It is my third rx-8 and hope to do a little better this time

Bought for £700 last October, ~95,000 miles original 4-port engine on roughly 7bar compression, full dealer history, 2003 and minimal rust :D

So...

I stopped work for lunch today and unfortunately saw the budget
I then decided it wasn’t safe for me to go back up on the roof in a state of shock
Two choices (suicide or take the RX-8 out )
As I’m still hear ( you guessed correct )
I warmed her up, wound the windows down and let the scream of the...

Anyone out there got any good condition coilovers for sale? Wanted for road and occasional track use, happy to collect

Relatively not as bad as could be. £25 increase for 2007 on cars.

So then chaps
having recently fitted a COFS setup what oils are others using ?

Hi guys, got a phantom blue evolve, I'm 32, plan on passing at some point in the new year.... I've got insurance qoutes (I'm not moaning) coming back at £1,200 without a black box, fully comp and 2 years NCB, anyone know of a company that will do it for roughly the same price that don't mind mods...

So then peeps

Our cars by modern standards are frankly terrible for fuel consumption
my car is a 231 , 2008 with 80,000 on the clock. Open exhaust with a 200 cell cat, home made intake, RRP coils, a SOHN conversion and my own tune
I've also got a 'turbogauge' fitted that shows live MPG from the...

I’ve got an RX-8 231. I actually joined a few months ago and have been reading through the posts — everything looks solid so far. It’s sitting at 33,200 miles now. Hoping for a trouble-free experience and some easy solutions along the wa

Hi everyone,

So we (me and husband) have been toying with the idea of buying another RX8 (likely an S1) and disassemble it to the last screw so that we could completely repaint the shell and other parts and then rebuild it again. Can anyone share experiences about what we would be signing up for?...

I’m planning to remove my front seats this weekend to give everything a proper clean. Before I do, I’m wondering if disconnecting the wiring will cause any issues—like ECU or airbag warnings—or if it’s simply a matter of unplugging, cleaning, and plugging everything back in. Any tips?

Ever since my engine rebuild 3.5 years ago, the engine has never quite felt the same at the top end. No problem elsewhere in the rev range. Soon after 8k there is a little but sudden drop in power. It's only noticeable in 3rd gear and higher, and I've only carried on to the red line in third -...

Hey, does anyone have a gutted OEM cat they'd like to sell please? Or any other decat pipes really, I was looking to avoid the japspeed/Toyo decats though as they didn't sound great with the Hks single exit
