Gwyn and I have been holding onto our Honda Jazz daily for far longer than usual. One of a series of Jazz's we have owned since 2006, this one was over 8 years old. We finally decided it was time to chop it in, whilst it still had some p/ex value.

After a LOT of pondering, we opted for a BEV, the...

Looks fun, anyone interested :D

So on the internet / wikipedia etc the reports of how much a Rexi weighs range hugely

so I thought how many proper measurements do we have across the collective ?

As I see 1430 to 1350Kg generally reported and I suspect the R3 is generally heavier than an S1

Has your own car been to the...

he also eats a 10 year old bounty bar :puke:

Looks like the boys have done it again

350 ponies
looks like few variants of kit form 2K to 8K which II' guessing the cheapest is the manifold and basics all the way up to drive in and drive out but kits available in July

good stuff

Hi, having sold my RX8 last year after 18yrs from new, just found my EFI Dude OBD logger - anyone interested?
Thanks Paul

Hey all, earlier I was looking to see whether my APV, SSV and VDI are working by simply turn the ignition ON then off. I can hear the motor for the APV wirr and see the actuator for the SSV move but the VDI doesn't. My RX-8 is a 2005 231. Does anyone know whether the VDI is supposed to cycle with...

Any guides out there?

I was checking through a stack of old disc drives and found this archive that I'd forgotten I had.

Hi all,

Got an rx8 a few weeks back (192 -08 52k), made a bit of a classic error and didnt check all of the dash lights on test drive.

Anyway, I've got a few issues, my most worrying is that when I turn the headlight and full beams on, although they work on the car itself, I don't get any lights...

Hi all
Proud new owner of a PZ, bought in June.
Actually my second, owned a PZ as a daily driver before from 2006-2010 but a big bill and house move meant I had to sell. Always had a hankering for another rotary and now in the fortunate position that I can run it as a second car and weekend toy....

Just spent a week in the french Alps, today I crossed the border into Italy via a massive hole through mont blanc!
And I'm not exaggerating,, what felt like at least 30 tunnels.
Perfect for the brappers

Since I bought my R3 in 2016 the car has had a small parasitic battery drain. Enough that the starter would be slow if not started for a week in winter. I've gone through more batteries than was ideal.

I'd always put it down to aftermarket headunits (and later bought one that has a verified zero...

Hi all,

Still potentially interested in my old PZ back.

I always keep an eye out for it popping up after the buyer said he would sell it back to me if he ever wanted to sell on, needless to say he didn't, and sold it to an unknown.

It's still in MOT, however it's expires 29th Nov. Looking at...

Hi,

Long shot I know but I am looking at buying an S1 (04 reg) 231 model, but the one I've seen doesn't have a compression test. It felt & sounded good at weekend, but of course that's not a reliable indicator.

Does anyone on here live in or near the Cheshire/Wales border area, own a compression...

Has anyone painted their intake manifold a different colour? Please share pics if you have. I'm looking for ideas and some inspiration.
