I've agreed a deal on a 192 with 60k miles, serviced every 3k up to 50k and then the last owner did it himself with no proof (classic) but the oil is too clean to be 10k old so I'm happy to take their word.

Anyway, the oil is fairly low on the dipstick, and I need to drive ~100 miles home. Without...

Hi All,

Just wanted to pop a quick post up as I’ve not been very active on here the last couple weeks!

First of all, apologies from me, I have been moving house, and therefore not been overly active, however, I’m now almost settled, so should be back and active again over the next few days!...

I’m about to get my track rods replaced - would anyone recommend Mazda parts over third party replacements? It’s about £100 instead of £270 for a Mazda pair.

looking for a 231 flywheel in usable condition if anyone has a spare.

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...

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...

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 ?
reading up on it so far Castrol 2T keeps popping up

was using a Motul as premix before but apparently not recommended for direct oiling

also mineral or synthetic ?

thoughts please
and if anyone has ever done or...

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
