I've just ordered a set of Bilstein B8 Sprint shortened dampers to go with my H&R springs, and shortly afterwards saw on the t'interwebs a few American owners claiming that the damper alone will introduce a slight ride-height reduction at the front because of the spring perch position.

Now, being...

Having a bit of an ongoing saga with fuel hose at the moment.
Halfords fuel hose is sh!te, I don't know how they get away with selling it. I put this replacement hose on back in March this year, brand new out of the packet and it's perished already

I've bought some hose...

Anyone got one of these fitted?

My sump is pretty corroded and I was considering one of these over the standard Mazda one.

Also how much are they? seen a few at the £250 mark but would have to import from North America so import duty and shipping to go on top

cheers

Recommendations please - full track set up

Hi Folks,

Whilst I'm waiting (anxiously!!) for my gauge pod from Block8head Custom Vent Pods to arrive from the States, I'm about to press the button to order the gauges for my PZ.

I've gone with the three-gauge vent pod and the usual standards of Water Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure. I'm...

HI folks,

As the car is in the shop having a rebuild (more on that later), after 100k miles on, is it time to change the rad?

What are the options? This ( is very pretty but it's also £260 quid (assuming we don't have a club discount anywhere??) which is quite a bit. Is it better to find a...

Good morning all, I was recently bought a after market CAI, the one with the cone filter that does away with the air box and leaves a gaping hole in the engine bay. I was wondering if anyone has ever fitted one but left the air box in place and basically cut it so the pipe goes right through it....

In my quest of being different and making the bay look pretty I've had a thought of relocating the oil filter to where my air pump use to be.
So far can't see anything other than some stuff from the USA forum which I take with a pinch of salt.
Problems so far:
Fire hazard: if it leaks it will be...

Hi all,
Just wondering if any MX5 parts are compatible with our Rx8's?
In particular I'm looking for an LED 3rd brake light to match the R3 style and came across this one

available at

Would anyone know if this would be a straight swap or would it needed a bit more work?

A nice demo of why there's a high pressure gas chamber at the bottom of mono tube dampers.

I'm thinking about replacing the Sat Nav in my RX8 with an old Nexus 7 I have lying around (I'm aware of lengthy threads on installation).
I'd probably use the Torque app to connect to Car Ecu etc but was wondering about a few other things:

1) Has anybody used the pogo pins for charging rather...

Hey guys, wondering if anyone has got a customer steering wheel from ReggiesCustomWheels and what are they like? from what I can see on FB and ebay they look decent

Perhaps he will do a club discount :D

So I have just bought new wheels for my car and need some help with the best sizes to run and best for the car.

I have just got

18x9.5 all around

I also have some new coilovers going on after that I look to drop the car to fill the arch not aiming to slam it though just nice ride height with...

Hi everyone

Hopefully you're all doing well. (:

Now that my bracket is done, wiring harness is on the way and sparkies are nearly brand new having covered about 3k miles, I think it's time for me to obtain D585 coils. Having done my initial research, it's nearly impossible to get AC Delco ones...

If this has been answered before I apologise, please point me in the right direction.

I have done a search on here and other places about upgrading the head unit in the R3 but cant seem to find a definitive answer. Do the air con controls still get in the way meaning you need to buy the expensive...

Looking around and not many for sale here so I am looking at the kit below, with relatives inbound from the states was wondering if this would still work over here.

I know many american derivatives had manual ac but the ad states climate control ? Any advice welcome.

As promised, here are pics of the exhaust system on my R3. Just a quick and dirty squeeze under without bothering to lift it, but I think there's enough in the following images to work with.

I dunno about you guys, but this does indeed look like a bespoke decat to me. I'm glad I didn't make any...

Thought the original vinyl gear lever gaitor looked a bit rubbish so ended up ordering a leather one from The Tuning Shop . The only problem was that the gaiter was made from four leather panels rather than the three panel oem one where the stiching lines up with the edges of the rotor shaped gear...

I'm looking for a vented carbon bonnet and came across this from dcperformance. I particularly like the stock-like detail of the underside which seems to be finished to a high standard and it looks to be well constructed.

Has anyone had one, or anything else carbon related from Eurolineas?...

I've got currently got Ferodo and Hawk pads for track days with my 4 pot front and standard rear caliper Racing Brake kit on my R3, but they're badly in need of replacing prior to the annual club event track day.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good replacements and where to get them from?...

I use my phone in a windscreen mount for music and navigation but now that the penalty has been increased I'd like control those functions on a less obvious headunit instead. This no-brand Android seems to fit the bill, can run all my music steaming apps, Google Maps, and has phonebook and...

Does anyone have any recommendations on mud flaps for a black PZ?

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of these from in the UK ? Lots of US suppliers but $$$ and then import £££ tried all the usual places and can't find any :(

Ok noticed a few posts asking where to get a bodykit but it never states what kit they want because they either dont know what they want or dont know the name of the kit so here is a compilation pic of most of the S1 kits there are a few missing and a couple are discontinued .

I'm about to do the nexus 7 mod on my car but was wondering if anyone has used a newer slightly faster tablet instead of the nexus 7 which is getting on a bit now?

Hi everyone. So I have a question regarding big brake kits (as the title suggests). I am running 19 alloys with et 35 and my rear brakes need doing. Since getting these new wheels, I've been toying with the idea of big brakes.
The question is, could I convert the back without doing the fronts...

Hi

So after speaking with drifworks I'm now wondering whether I get slightly wider wheels.

I was going with 8j but should I be considering 8.5j?

So far order 18 8j with offset to be decided(bank holiday in japan today) once work wheels are open.

Anyone have personal experience with wider...

is there anyone to get these or similar pattern new?

I've noticed quite high intake temps, up to 150F in traffic which seems silly at below 5C ambient temperature.

I have the K&N intake:

*Random Pic

It makes sense that the temps are high since it get most of the air from under the hood at low speed, so I've been contemplating to try and force...

Merry christmas all :xmasgrin:

Appolgies if there is a thread already for this but i have been searching everywhere for a web site to buy an after market spolier for my r3 but struggling to find a decent site. Has any one got any that they recomend ?

Thank you in advance :thumleft:

This is purely just a bit of fun at this stage and I know it is not a practical solution yet.
I plan on replacing the heavy lead acid battery with light weight super capacitors as it may be a cheap way to shave off 15-20kgs but not sure how well it will work in the RX8 yet so I will start off...
