The 40th Anniversary & Kuro special editions were the only RX-8`s to include a build number which consisted of numbered plates fitted to the sill trims, in my case my 40th Anniversary car did not have the plates fitted to the sill trims I queried this with the dealer who knew nothing of them and I...

Hi all

Hope this is the right place to ask, but was wondering what the going rate is for a good 4 port engine? So compression 6.5 bar ? I'm talking about a bare engine.

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me how the different DSC modes work.Am I right in saying the single press OFF switches off the DSC but keeps Traction Control.
Also does 7 second hold switch everything off? Can't seem to find a definitive answer for this in the owners manual.

When I bought my RX8 the test drive was fine and all was tickety-boo. On the drive home I decided to give the car a real rip - it was my property, after all.

Hi
I just wanted to ask before I buy. Does anyone know if the the cobra sport mz08 exhaust fits the series 2 RX8? On the eBay listing it says that it fits both series 1 and series 2 but that can’t be right can it?

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

The light went out in my Clarke Grit Blaster, which made it really difficult to see what you're doing.

Even when it was working, it shone as much in your face as on the job, so not the best design, plus the bulk of the 1½ diameter tube fitted in clips on the rear wall meant that it often got in...

Evening All,

So I got a spare hour to work on my Rex the other day and I decided to start pulling the door card liner off. Any way long story short what I didn’t realise was that it was holding the window regulator in place and the glass and the mechanisms went all over the place catching me...

I've been visiting the Castle Climbing Centre in North London recently, and I've see a rather nice looking silver '54 plate (iirc) with some sort of body kit - perhaps the Mazdaspeed bodykit. Is that anyone's here?
