I just joined the board as I bought my forst RX8 (and Rotory car for that matter) last week. Well, I actually bought it in March, just before Covid, but since it was located in the Netherlands, I could not pick it up.
It's a 2004 car, two owner car (second owner had it for 10 years) and...
Hi all, was recommended to come here from various YouTube videos. I’m 24 years old from Hertfordshire and am looking at an RX-8 for my second car in the new year as I have always loved them, I’ve been a huge car fan (including of course the F&F franchise) since a young age. Whilst loving cars, I do...
I've been thinking of my old R3 recently, I reluctantly sold in 2018 after the engine lost compression and at the time I didnt have the money or time to get it rebuilt.
I owned it through most of my 20's and honestly I'm still a bit attached to...
Well im just on the border of it in moist Merthyr tydfil !
Just a quick little Hi post while im looking through the pages to find out some headlight answers. Been meaning to join for over a year and half ago when i bought my 2004 192 in Grey (Or silver depending if its not overcast ;) )
Currently...
First, I must say how much I've valued OC over the years. How do I reset the DSC light? , What engine oil should I use? , Coolant level light , Best ignition components .
Second, an apology. I've only just joined, and this is get some advice about what's important to know when selling my...

I am a huge jap car fan with precious cars including mx5, r33, scooby, mr2 turbo, 200sx, civic vti etc along with a couple of fast German motors, but we won’t...
Hi all.
After months of research, the GT86 has gone, and I'm about to pick up an R3... can't wait.
It's a 2009 with 52,000 miles. Compression ratios are good (7.0, 7.1, 6.8 / 7.0, 6.8, 7.0)
My first question is this: I know it is a series 2 engine, which has the extra oil injection port into the...
Hi there, i recently purchased an RX8 in questionable condition. I have recently bought a house and wanted something to work on now that i finally have room again. for the last 15 years i have lived on a main road, and car maintenance was impossible. When i was younger i spent every weekend out...
Hello I'm Richard from High Wycombe , I've just jumped in feet first and bought myself a Pz with a misfire !
I've never owned a rotary but always had my eye on them, its an itch I had to scratch if you know what I mean?
I work as a mechanic with my own business (one man band) and over the year have...
Today, or for the last week or so, I've been looking for a way of logging boost and other stuff for my MazdaEdit tuned turbo renesis.
For anyone who has ever tuned one of these things, on the stock ECU, they surely know how much of a pain it is to juggle AFRs, MAF scaling and boost levels...
Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum, and frankly any car forum, so nice to meet you all!
I'm a Engineering student in my final year of uni, and starting a job come September I'm going to need a car for my commute. While I passed my test at the first opportunity I could, I've never actually...
Hi guys I'm new to this forum and just wanted some advice, I will introduce myself first, I'm a Honda master tech and own a 2006 rx-8, this is the first rotary that I've owned and I know that I can get the back up support from you guys,the issue I'm having is that after a run the rear diff seems...
Hi everyone. I’m new here. Sadly my father who owned an RX8 has passed away. He had the bright yellow one TUI8035 and it used to be owned by someone called Colin. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Colin at all please? I would be super grater for any help. Thanks
I’d like some advice on buying my first RX8- my budget is £3-£4K and I’d like an RX8 with 60k or less. I’ve heard that it’s best to buy one that has a good body but needs a new engine. Do you think this would be the best way to go? Roughly how much would a new...
Good morning guys. I’ve been sent this way via Facebook where the guys there recommended this forum. 😎
My names Chris and I’m from Langstone near Havant in Hampshire. I’m a bit of a ‘90s and ‘00s car guy and currently have a ‘94 UK manual Nissan 300zx and a ‘05 Audi C5 RS6.
If we have lots of space Chris and a strong presence already in numbers, is it worth reaching to Dary and Familia to see if they would like to join us again this year. Would certainly boost us towards 50 and saves them booking an additional stand? Everyone wins.
Hi,
I’m new here and just got a 2008 RX-8 56k on the clock
I have just had the engine compression check and don’t really understand the readings can any one make any sense of the readings below.
Cylinder 1:
PSI: 105 97 99
cor: @ Alt & RPM
I've been lurking this forum for quite some time and I thought it would be nice to introduce me and my RX8. It's a 2004 231 that I use when I'm feeling spicy or go to the Nürburgring (and hopefully TT Assen and Zandvoort later this year) :).
I also have a Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.4T 155hp as daily...
Hi guys!
I’m new to this forum as I’ve just purchased an RX-8 yesterday. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
It’s a clean 231 model from 2005 with 62k on the clock in Titanium Grey and this will be my daily as I want to have something fun to drive on the lovely B roads of...
Hello, just joined the rx8 club. Had my 2006 rx8 for about 9 years and think the compression has failed,changed the plugs and coils (no difference),showing all the signs (trouble starting when hot). Any of you know the best place for a rebuild?, I'm in Rotherham, south yorkshire. Thanks in...
Got the Rex as my first car in January, loved it. Had some doubts about my mpg and gearbox so decided to go to a garage to get the car checked over. Also asked for a compression test. Anyway, found out that compression was good, car was in really...
Hi Everybody and thanks for letting me into this forum.
My name is Silviu and i live in the NW of England.
I am into rotaries since young and always owned a Wankel vehicle since 2006.
At the moment i own a lovely black R3 with a lot of godies on.
My garage is not at all boring as it comprises of...
I'm hoping you can give me some advice. I recently found an R3 for sale that sounds like it might be good, but the compression results are all below the 6.9. The listing says it was an ex-club member's and the following about the compression test.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Been sniffing about the forums and find myself coming back every few years when the itching for an RX8 comes around every so often. Decided it's about time I bite the bullet and get one. Can't keep changing my mind...
Hello again! After an absence of over 10 years. Is that a record?
I'm thinking about an RX-8 again and what looks like a good example has popped up locally. It's a JDM Auto and I need an Auto because my left leg doesn't work so well any more.
Well after years of RX8 ownership, finally joined the club.
Met some of you at Thruxton on the hottest day of the year. If you remember I had engine troubles, turned out engine was toast surprised it ran looking at the insides after it was stripped down. Rotary Motion have fitted a replacement...
Hey I bought an RX8 in July and I am always looking for inspiration of things people are doing with their RX8’s.
Are many of you on Instagram? I would be interested in seeing other peoples builds!
Hey folks!
I bought another 8 last weekend, after selling my first (55 plate 192) over five years ago at 99k.
I found an R3 with 35k on the clock, perfect start and idle. Couldn't believe my luck!
Just got it back from the tyre shop, as the tracking felt off and the tyres were bargain basement...
Good afternoon I have just bought a mazda Rx8 evolve manual gearbox.
I only have a automatic licence which is a :edited: but I have looked
At swapping the gearbox but I believe that people have said that the starting motor will not fit in place.
Another option I have got hopefully is about...
Good evening all, I’ve recently purchased a PZ from a previous member who sadly passed last year. I’m not sure how active he was but he certainly was passionate about his car and put a couple of the clubs stickers in the windows. So I wanted to honour him by following his passion and look after the...
I bought a silver 08 RX8 on the 5th October from eBay. Having previously owned a 55 reg red one I always wanted to find a well sorted RX8 and keep it for a few years (this might not be the one though, more on this later).
Me:
I am based in Surrey Heath, my daily (well its my...
Hi, hope you guys can help. My neighbours husband died last October and left her with a low mileage Rx8 on her drive. She thinks it's time to sell it as she doesn't drive it at all. Having just left the motorsports performance parts business I know that if you want the correct advice, then you go...
Hello, and in desperate need of help... I'm a lucky owner to my second RX8, an 07 so insane tax bracket winning blue beauty. The rabbit hole of despair begins with me thoughtlessly purchasing a blue tooth adapter like I did with my previous affair. That I stupidly left in the car when I scrapped...
Hi all
Hope are all good and well?
My partners and myself run a small engine building company which mainly specialises in bespoke competition engines.
Anyway we have never had anything to do with Rotary engines, however one of our very talented apprentices bought an RX8 that required an engine...
Hello everyone again, been a bit slack in posting a new 'Hi' thread of my new purchase but it's been a busy end of school holidays. Firstly, thanks for the help this forum and its members have already given me, much appreciated.
Some guessed already that I bought Nick's (from Enjoyable cars) own...
Hey RX8 Owner's Club!
I have been an owner for an 05' 192 RX-8 for about 3 months now, and... it's been quite a story to how I even got here in the first place.
Long story short, my parents have always picked my cars for me, because they can't get their noses out of every choice I make, and all...
Hi everyone I'm new to the rx8 life but have had a few fds and missed the rotary, hope to get on with people here and my first question is can anyone help me with a compression test, ideally come to me in Ipswich as the car is not in the best of shape (is a project) will post pics and stuff a bit...
Hi, just joined the forum as I'm looking to buying an RX8. Whilst I'm new to RX8s, I've owned a Mk2.5 MX5 for the last 10 years and have enjoyed tinkering with that a lot during that time. I've got 2 young kids so arguments are ensuing over turns round the block so thought time to get a 4 seater...
Thought I'd introduce myself as a trader. Anyone who's been round for a while will know me as AdamGaltress .
I got the equipment to make vinyl stickers about 6 months ago as a side project and I've been making them since then. I've got a selection of designs on my eBay page . Including a...
Hi this is my first post as I bought a Kuro with 39k and a pretty full service history in late April and have been enjoying it ever since!
It has been a while since I've had a sporty enthusiasts car and I am a beginner with the spanners. So I've been through all of the very useful guidance on the...
Morning all bought a 2004 rx8 2 weeks ago and the same fault code p2288 injector control pressure to high and I can't find anything on the forums or the Web about this problem in a rotary. If I obtain new injectors and a fuel rail would this problem dissappear or could it be an ecu problem? The car...
