I am wondering if any of you guys can help me. I am looking to buy an Rx8 but due to the situation with Covid I cannot travel to inspect the car myself.
I was looking at getting the AA to inspect it, but to be honest I don't think the will have enough knowledge of the car.
First post and here to say hi! (Apologies in advance - I'm new to forums/clubs and the like so I have no idea really, but I hope to be around here for some time to come, learn as I go and get to go to some meets if I can get my hands on an RX8)
I (20) have been looking at RX8s for almost the past...
So I've had my RX-8 for about three and a half years now and have not had any issues with starting at all. She's always fired up immediately and never turned over before starting.
However two days ago and I turned the key to start her and the engine actually turned over two or three times...
My name is Vince, and I have had my 231 for just about 2 years now. Although I have been using the forum since before I even bought the car I have only just go round to joining both the forum and the owners club.
I have a 2004 231 with about 88k miles on the original engine. Since owning the...
Bought my first rotary on Friday, a 2005 rx8 192 5 speed manual in Titanium grey.
Engine seems good, no hot starting issues but a little lumpy at idle, is this normal?.
Bodywork is good, but the bonnet has some large stonechips, have a lead on a better replacement locally.
I’ve wanted an RX-8 for ages now and now I’m no longer commuting 30 miles each way every morning I figured I’d take the plunge. The car I bought was a Velocity Red 2007 car with 50,000 miles. Of 6 cars I saw and test drove, it was the only one that felt lively and revved freely right...
Hi Guys, Great to be part of the Forum!! I am in the process of buying my first RX8, and I'm really looking forward to owning one. The dilemma I find myself in is whether to go cheap ( bad compression, needs TLC blah blah blah) & pay good money for a rebuild or, try to to find a great car thats...
Just thought I'd say hi, owned my RX-8 for about 4 years now, its a fun car but I suspect I'm going to have to change the coil packs soon..
I'm sure many have done so before on here, would be great to know roughly how much it would cost.
I've just bought a 2005 40k miles RX-8 as a project car, and am planning a total visual and mechanical overhaul over the next two years. Here's the current plan:
Visual Stage One
- Paint machine polish
- Alloy refurb and respray in black
- Planted technology seat mounts
- Sparco R100...
I am hoping that I can get some good advise from you on here. I am looking to purchase an RX8, around September time really. I am sending my BMW 5 Series Sport goes back in October, could have kept it for another 12 months however I am wanting to now concentrate on paying my mortgage off...
I'm making the transition from German to Jap, and going to go look at an RX8 on Saturday with a view to buying it.
The chap advertising the car seems genuine enough and he's mentioned the exhaust is blowing a bit . He's since said it's the Front flex pipe and it said it doesn't affect...
Hi everyone my name is Andy, I'm 36 and I live in Cornwall, I have been into Japanese cars for years and used to own a few Toyota Mr2's. I have brought the 2005 RX8 231ps with 56k a few months ago and I really love the way it drives and sounds, I have already uprated the starter motor, ngk ignition...
Hi guys and gals. New member here but not new to RX-8s. I previously had a strato blue 04 which died rather spectacularly and at the time I needed a vehicle so bought something as a run around.
I picked up another 8 the other day as a project really. It was sold with low compression but I have my...
Hey,
I originally posted a while ago when I was considering getting my first rx8 however a long commute and saving for a flat made me put that plan on hold.
Im now back to considering getting a RX8 r3 however had the slight issue of none being about to test drive to see if I like the car (Assume I...
Greetings all, my names rotatopotato, and I'm a rotaholic.
pauses for muted applause
Thank you, thank you.
I've ways had a fascination with rotaries (I'm also a massive fan of two stroke motorcycles and rotaries have more in common with 2T engines), as they were all the rage in the boy racer...
I'm considering buying an RX8 so thought I should pop my head in here; I'll inevitably have loads of questions.
My car history is quite eclectic, I've had a moddified S14 200sx at around 300bhp, two mk1 MX5s (one turbo'd), an e34 525i, e36 3 series and a SAAB 9-3 Aero, all interspersed...
Hi guys and girls.
I’ve just bought an RX-8 nemesis which developed an engine management light on the way home.
I’ve plugged in my obd and it comes back as P0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1
I’ve read that this could be anything from a new cat to o2 sensor to a leaking vacuum...
I bought my r3 from Leeds this year, I live in Scotland, 30 minutes after parting cash and making my maiden voyage back home, I noticed a burning smell and didn't think much of it at first, eventually due to getting paranoid about it, I pulled into services and had stopped just in time, oil was on...
Hope I’m posting this in the right place - apologies if not. I just want a bit of advice as to what the problem I’m having is.
I’ve had my RX8 for about 3 weeks - 2005 192 75k miles. Engine was rebuilt a couple of years ago but I haven’t got much history apart from that. I had a new...
So the controversial bit is that I’m looking for an RX8 to take to pieces and put its heart into the car I’m rebuilding...
I have a ‘73 MG Midget which is almost stripped down to the shell which I’m rebuilding. The idea was to put a modern engine and the usual route for this is either...
Been lurking in here for a while but thought I'd finally introduce myself.
I've always liked the RX8 and test drove a couple back in 2008 before making the controversially conservative decision to get a 330ci instead. Roll around to Januray last year and I picked up a PZ off eBay...
finally looking at putting my RX8 back on the road after 4years being parked up in the garage. So expect to see me snooping around here a lot for info, as we some plans for it ;) .
While I am here, does anyone have any tips for starting a rotary that has sat for that length of...
Hey all, I'm new and didn't know where to look but im looking for advice
I'm looking to buy a 2004 rx8 with a uprated starter, uprated coils plugs and spark plugs, apparently been well looked after with on 32k mileage on it, owner wants to sell it for £1500 compression tests showing 6.6s across...
Hi, just thought I'd introduce myself, used to have an RX8 Pz but sold it and regretted it ever since. Now divorced and looking for another RX8, I would like something a little different (body kit, aftermarket spoiler etc ) as well as all the usual upgrades ignition etc.
Hoping to gain a bit of...
Hi,
I am new to the forum and am looking for some advice, pleased to see there are so many RX-8 enthusiasts out there. I have a black 231 registered March 2006 which I have owned since 2013, the car only had one previous owner and was bought from a Mazda dealer with 18k on the clock. The...
First off, sorry for posting here, it's the only place I seem to be able to post too...
I'm not trained mechanically at all, in fact this is the first car I've worked on beyond changing a flat tyre, changed and oil filter once, jump starting a car and changing a dead battery.
Only had the Rx8 for a few days and loving it so far! It's my wife's car but I am tasked with maintaining it. :shock: I also get to have a go once in a while, which is nice :thumleft:
Will have a good look around the forum and I have a few questions to post. For now...

I'm *delighted* to have recently become a first time RX-8 owner. I have wanted a rotary car for 32 years, ever since my dad was driving on the motorway and explained that the car in front was an RX-7 and that it's engine was completely different from reciprocating ones... I'd seen FD3s...
Bought myself an 08 RX8 in Jan after a combination of paycheck and old car dying. Been loving it, both commuting and exploring Surrey hills and the south coast.
But...
I was meant to go up to Scotland with friends for this week gone. Come back from work Friday evening, no issue,...
Hi I'm new to the club.
I have a black race prepared 2003 car. I was intending to do the CSCC this season and then prepare the car over the winter for the 750mc Club enduro.
I've raced an MX5 in the CE 2017 and 2018 and was always impressed with Liam Crilly's RX8 so here I am following in his tyre...
I picked up my R3 from the dealer today. Thanks again for all the advice on here in the run-up to buying it. Below are a couple of pics of it getting its first of many V-Power fill-ups. I’ll start pre-mixing from the next tank onwards.
My third time driving an R3, but the first without having a...
Just purchased a non-running RX8 (Misfire and real rough running) as a second car. Used to be a mechanic 20 years ago so wanted to play with my spanners again.
I went to view an R3 RX-8 today which I’m considering buying. I think it had a little bit of a laboured hot start and a slightly lumpy idle. However, I only have driven one other R3 RX-8 to compare it to and this was a while ago.
Thought I'd say hello, just signed up here and looking for my first RX8. Coming from a long history of Nissan's having owned a couple of S13's, S14s and currently owning an Silvia S15 (project state :oops: ) - been an active member on the SXOC and S15 for the past 14 years. Also own...
Just wanted to post a quick intro, as I've been looking around for a long time but never joined or posted, so thought now would be a good time after picking up my 2007 Kuro on Sunday.
I've always liked the RX8, ever since my Dad had a nearly new 192 back in 2006. A couple of years ago,...
I will preface this post by saying I'm brand new to the forum (hi) If I contravene some sort of rule I assure you it's totally accidental and I apologise in advance. I am a huge car fan, had many, and know probably intermediate info about RX-8's, but not...

I need help with my RX8 It was running lovely and i went to start it and it was dead i did a bit of research and i found an article about the engine fuse 15amp which had blown i changed it and it blew again so i removed coil 2 wiring and it has melted the...
