First time owner here; but have spent a loooong time wanting an 8 - meaning I've done a fair amount of research, what to look for and how to care for one. With the rising prices, what seems to be decreasing numbers, and for the first time in a while being able to actually afford to...
Hi,
I've just rejoined the forum, my name is Rich and I live in the East Midlands.
I used to have a blue 192 RX8 from new in 2004 and kept it for 2.5 years until regrettably it made way for something more frugal and way more boring (can remember shedding a tear when I saw it drive away on the back...
I'm new to the forums and the world of RX8s. I put off buying one for too long, falling pray to the horror stories out there and arguing that they were too impractical, but I'm now at a point where I don't do as many miles, the wife has a nice comfy SUV thing, so I can have my RX8...
I'm a new owner of a lovely condition, low mileage Blue 2008 RX8.
Had my eye on one for a while, also was looking at an RX7 Cabriolet as an alternative but rather missed the boat on that one as availability seems to have dropped of a cliff (and they wouldn't pass the ULEZ restrictions...
Hi all,
I've been looking at RX8's for a few years, I nearly purchased one a while back, but settled on a mk1 mx5 instead. This isn't a decision I regret, but the want for an rx8 definitely hasn't left me 😂 the R3 model is very much out of the question, however earlier models still seem quite...
Just joined the forum as I'm seriously interested in treating myself to an RX8. I've always been a fan of quick Mazdas owning a few 3MPS, I was close to buying an RX8 PZ but the dealer persuaded me to get another Mazda 3 worrying me about the 13b using oil :shock:
I thought I'd join as I've picked up a kuro black PZ today to enter into the world of rotary engines.... I'm here to learn as much as I can as in the dos and dont's.
Car needs a little tlc cosmetically and can't wait to get stuck in as I had to sell my last car (Nissan S14a)
Greeting from Ireland (South).
Very similar to Martinpp, I've been wanting and looking for an PZ for quite some time.
With little money to spend I finally picked up one in the UK (obviously! where else were they sold) at a rock bottom price, unseen.
Hi my name is Mike Grace and I have an 07 plate RX8 low mileage around 40000
At the beginning of lockdown I sorned my car and turned it over every few weeks whilst leaving it on my drive. I then left it for a longer period and battery was flat and I could not start it.
Hello all, I'm Alex and i'm a new owner of an RX8 R3...
well its actually my 4th, having had a 231, PZ, Sunlight silver R3 and now a red mica R3. Its been 5 years since I sold my silver R3 and the journey home when i picked up the red R3 from Enjoyable cars in Maidenhead reminded me why I...
Similar to everyone else, I've been lurking, waiting, absorbing, panicking, giving up, looking at other cars, then sending every car under the sun to my wife, more reading, a little bit of psyching up, and here I am.
Dove in on a 57 plate with 63k, 2 owners, current owner has had it for 7 years...
After owning a few scoobies I've switched sides to the RX8 crew!
I was considering a Nissan GTR or M2/M4,and even a new Cupra but they are just too much to enjoy on the roads - I was after the experience and thrill under 100MPH and the RX8 ticked the box!
Hi all, a few years ago I owned a nice streetported '04 blue RX8 with all the trimmings, had it for a year, loved it, but ultimately sold it as I just wasn't using it as I had a company vehicle I could use at the time.
However I'm once again looking for an RX8, I just miss the smooth engine and...
Just re introducing myself after coming back to Rex's following a 5 year spell without.
In the space of 6 months Ive ended up with 3 (1 race car, 1 daily driver and 1 for future classic)
The latter is a 2010 run out model R3 with 15k on the clock, and was actually the last new one sold in Ireland....
My name is Rudy, I am French and passionate about rotary. I own an Rx8 S1 231 with only 17000kms, a 1973 Rx2 coupe, a 1973 Rx3 coupe, a 1991 Rx7 turbo 2 cabriolet and a 1984 FB.
I am using google translate, hope you can easily follow the conversation.
Hi everyone, bought my first rotary yesterday. 2004 RX8. Very excited - as you should be.
Test drove it a couple of days ago - all seemed fine.
Picked it up yesterday (from a private buyer) and within 5 mins the engine light came on - P2270 and P2096 codes.
Well, having casually itched for a rotary for god knows how long I've finally got one.
The engine is freshly built (~ 1000miles ago) and stock. The rest looks good from a distance... We live near to Shelsley Walsh and the plan is to give it a few runs up the hill later in the year on a...
Hi all,
First time on here and am after a bit of advice from the experts.
Have owned a Mazda RX8 KURO from new since late 2007.
Really toying with the idea of selling on now which in itself is no hard task, but this isn’t your normal RX8.
My car is AS NEW and has only covered 5000 miles. It’s...
Hi everyone, since I gave up my last rx8 in 2010, nothing I have had has given me that smile.
So I've rescued Winnie 2004 winning blue from a scrapie, she's back on the road, but still needs TLC, eve now she gives me a smile.
Look forward to meeting other like minded people
I know this is the wrong area, but ive had a scan and cant see about renewing my membership after a 2yr gap? i cant post in the member area where i wanted to put this.
I need to change my address and do i need to go as a new member or can i still renew after the gap?
I always liked the RX8 and now after years of wanting one and being scared by all the rumors and bad reputation, I have finally decided to look for one to buy.
I have been doing a lot of research about the RX8. Reading and watching buyer's guides, reading forums posts everywhere and doing all I...
I’m new to this forum, I own 2 RX8’s, one with a 1jz single turbo 525hp engine and one which is at moment my daily driver with the rotary engine.
I bought 1 owner fsh rotary engined one with an engine issue as a father son project. We removed the engine and located the problem to be stationary...
I've just bought a Nordic green 2005 RX8 192 from a friend who decided he didn't need 2 cars any more. It's been stood since the start of lockdown in March last year, so needs a bit of attention to get it up and running again.
I wasn't actually looking for another car (I already...
My name is Tommy and I've just purchased an '04 RX8 (reg MT54 UKX) that has been sat unused and uncovered for 7 years for a bargain at £100.
I am looking for some tips on starting it and what to check. So far I have checked the following items:
Fuel - Old fuel removed and new premixed...
I'm Rich and have joined rotary ownership after purchasing a 55 plate 192 RX8. It's a car that I've always wanted but shied away from somewhat given their reputation! That said... after three weeks, I'm loving it! :thumleft:
It had a comp test done before I bought it and read 7.9-8.0...
I hope everyone is keeping well during these times and had a great Christmas break! :)
I don't currently own an RX8 but I am actively looking for one, I've wanted one for a long time now and decided to finally take the plunge and treat myself.
New kuro owner here, picked her up Saturday. Bit of a culture shock as not driven much smaller than a 5 series for the last 30 years! I just fit! So far, so good. I have a few niggles I cannot easily find solutions for by searching the forum. I hope some of you can answer. In order of priority 😊 :...
G'Day All, Trailblaser here from South Australia, I am not new rotaries, having owned a S2 RX7 for nearly 25 years, until, sadly, I lost it in a bushfire in November 2015. After years of looking around for another rotary, I finally found and bought, (in 2019), a 2007-2008 RX8 40th Anniversary model...
Hey guys, new on the forum, as title says, picked up my third RX8 and as it happens, you guys already know the car, haha, it's not like it was though, it's currently a shell with holes in the floor, oh god, see where this is going?
Anyway, this is my first 231 6 speed, it's a 2007 Galaxy Grey....
French owner here (Sorry for my writing !), since I bought it 2 years ago, I hear a cracking noise within 2000-2500rpm range.
It is a 2006 blue 231hp with a 6 shift level gearbox.
For history, the gearbox has been opened twice by previous owner's garage.
After expertise, my garage opened...
Last week I re-joined the RX-8 owning world when I picked up my 2006 Black PZ! I managed to get an example that the previous owner had owned and cared for since 2007! I owned a Velocity red 231 back in 2009/10 and absolutely loved the experience; only it became impractical as daily...
Now I have inherited my brothers RX-8 after he passed away a year ago. It has been sat around since he passed and is a non starter. It is an 08 plate automatic (so an import). I believe it to be a 232 HP engine. It was delivered on a recovery truck, I believe the...
Just thought I would post up and introduce myself. Currently looking to buy an Rx8 having never owned one before. With a young family a modern usable rotary is the dream. I've got 2 Rx7's ( both currently projects I suppose, therefore not drivable). Since I have time for only one...
Hi i have a 2004 rx8 192 covered 65500 miles.
I have had the car 13.5 years. it has been regulary serviced and all recalls updated.
recently in heavy rain the car had the engine management light flicker then permanantly display.
I have read the forums and have changed the plugs, crank sensor and...
Just doing some general lurking as I start the process of finding and buying an RX8.
Hoping to pick up a 231 rather than 192, there have been a couple that I have liked the look of advertised on here but I keep missing out. I was hoping to get one from a club member in the hope that it...
Looking to take the plunge into RX-8 ownership, I have found the forum really useful with lots of useful tips here which I am reading through before buying.
I have previously owned a Mazda 6 and my wife is very keen on having another Mazda as a second car, we are currently running round...
After being a serial lurker for a looooooong time and using this place to keep an eye out for bits for my Mazda 3 MPS. I am finally scratching the rotary itch.
Just picked up this one and enjoyed a 3 hour drive home. Feels good to join the R3 master race, I have just paid...
Hi, first time here and meaning to join ever since I got my rx8 way back when. I went back to out on Saturday, SORNed as I commute everyday now and just couldn’t use it like that. Returned to it taken from the private parking spot I had paid for. No clue from council, person who runs the parking...
