Mating a rotary engine to the drive train for fwd is going to be a ...

Re: New cat time
For years I used some extremely cheap ramps used for caravanning that I then filled with expanding foam, so making them lightweight and extremely durable :thumleft: . Was amusing to watch the overfill of foam extruding out in a sausage from the filling hole :lol: . Simple things please simple minds ...

Re: Mail order rotary tester?
Jon, Title bit confusing as it suggests that you have a source of a rotary tester one can order via mail rather than you wanting to borrow one. There are a couple of people on here willing to send out their testers for use. Would respectfully suggest altering title to "Want to loan a compressio...

Re: My R3
To achieve my fastest around Coram at Snetterton (indicated 98mph) mine were set at 2 from hardest at the front and 4 at the rear.

Re: New Coilovers to replace Cusco’s
Try the EDFC in the space below the radio knob which is where mine was mounted it's really about the only sensible place given the criteria although mine was not the active variety. Also good choice on the Teins they served me well for at least 8 years and are still on the car now.

Self rectifying faults are always the best but there is always the lingering thought that not knowing the cause there is a likelyhood of them returning.

Re: ^^^TRACKDAY Brands Hatch, Friday 6th Dec **SOLD OUT**^^^
I was thinking of cycling there and putting the bike in the boot of the RX8. Second thoughts cycling down the A30/A303 is not very sensible so I think I'll give it a miss.
