Apparently they had the car for a long period, have done the subframes (good job,thumbs up).but...

Diesn anyone here know what font was used for the Rx8 logo?

Prospective buyer here, been looking around for a long time and have read up on RX-8 ownership. This example here appears to be perfect except from the Engine Compression Test results, which appears very low. Am I missing something?

As per the title, taken a little leap of faith with the all New MG HS.

We did quite alot of research prior to taking the jump on it, various good reviews online, spoke in depth at the dealer with this being an entirely new platform, not a facelift, every single thing is completely new developed....

Hello all RX8 owners and lovers.
Who is able to provide a wiring diagram of the electric cables on a 6-gearbox (RX8)?
My son has bought an RX8 without engine and gearbox and we have purchased a good 231HP engine and a good working 6-gearbox.
After my son has revised the complete engine and fixed...

I've got a Nextbase dashcam and their hardwire kit which should connect up to the fusebox by the passenger door for a positive connection and the bodywork for a negative, as far as I can tell.

With the hardwiring kit's positive tap installed in the cigarette lighter fuse socket, and the lighter...

I have a set of braided brake and clutch hoses for sale.
Hoses are in brilliant condition.
Would like to get £60 posted for them.
Thanks for watching!

Aux and USB adapter for the stock radio, I believe this does require the unlocked firmware versions.
Plugs in to the Cd player's plug, or minidisk (I believe only if the stereo already had md?)
