Owned an RX8 but had to give it up because, well, I did... and regretted it ever since. :(
Now in a decent position to look at getting one again, but this time not as a daily but a weekender! Hopefully looking at one over the weekend with the intention of going down the engine...
Hello all. My name is John, I'm 25 and a postgraduate student. I don't have a car yet, but I would really like an RX. I want to talk to owners and if anything become a member.
P.S. Thanks for all :D
Evening all.
Going to join the club, so thought I'd join the forum too and say hello.
Owned my 06 Velocity Red 231 about two years now.
Only test drove it on a whim because it was local. Instantly wanted it and bought it 5 days later. Needs a little bit of body TLC, but I also own a 70s Triumph, so...
Bought my first Rx8 231 recently and I love it
I've owned quite a few quick cars in the past but the RX8 is amazing ...... handling, and the engine like nothing I've drove before
if anyone would give me some new owners tips please? that would be great I've bought it blind really don't know much at...
Newbie currently looking to purchase. Had a nice car history, GT86, then an M240i. Unfortunately, had to trade the BMW for a 7 seat Skoda Kodiaq Sportline to transport the kids in and now looking for a cheap way to bring the fun back into driving.
im looking to fit a double din kit, iv had a look around the forums and cant see if anybody has done it them self ie a step by step guide (if so if you could point me in the right direction Thanks) iv seen the metra kits and others but haven't seen any for the auto climate control. i have...
I'm new around here, but I've owned my R3 since 2013. I wasn't really into tuning/modifications until lockdown when I started having less trips to bars/restaurants and put that excess money into my car.
I've made a few mods to my car so far, but I still have a load more I want to...
I’m a sports car fan, big follower of F1 and an enthusiast in the industry. Just managed to get a 231 but now sourcing a starter motor, battery, and tires.
I also need the rear windscreen to be replaced. Anyone know of a localish breaking 2005ish RX8? I would like to buy a used screen...
About 9/10 years ago I had an Blue 231 RX8. Loved it, looked after it and had the rebuild and street porting.
Other priorities came along and I had to sell up and drive something more economical for a bit.
Small world but it looks like it featured in an article a...
I'm also in Scotland, close to Aberdeen. My RX8 (Kuro 335) is SORNed at the moment and I'm thinking of putting it back on the road this year. It was in decent working order when I took it off the road 5 years ago, though the acceleration had become a little sluggish compared with...
My friend had an Rx8, the engine went bang and he had some 'Rx8 expert' rebuild it, the rebuilt engine was a disaster leaking coolant from one of the main rotor housing seals and when the alternator supposedly failed we found the handful of swarf they left in the ECU box was causing a short,...
Hi.
I’m new hear, only joined today.
Am thinking of getting an RX 8.
Just wanted peoples advice on a couple of cars I’ve seen advertised. Not sure what I should be paying for age and mileage.
I know you need to be aware of compression readings, are these readings stated ok.
Any help would be...
Always wanted the RX8 but didn't work out. Bumped into car plus two guys on Trackday and re-ignited my interest.
They are all 'getting on a bit now' so will do some careful looking. Always drawn to special editions and of course the 230PS engine.
Is the uprated suspension still a useful feature?...
Hi there! I brought my RX-8 last December and I use it every day to work and back. I need advice on something about compassion readings on my RX-8 231. (What should be the correct readings) This morning my rx8 won't start and it's ticking over but no kick. I been told that it could be the low...
Hi, I recently inherited an RX8 which I was intending to get up to scratch for my little brother’s first car. However it has some issues which local mechanics don’t see to be able to diagnose, so I’m a little stuck. Basically it’s just not a happy bunny at...
Hi I'm new here, looking to buy my first RX8. I did look into buying one a few years ago, but got put off in the end, by rust worries. I used to own an MX5 and didn't wasnt to go through that again. I ended up buying a R26 Megane in the end, but that's long gone now.

when i picked it up it had a hunting on tick over very up and down i was told about this so ok onthe drive home any thing below 2.5k was horrible...
Hello, excited to shortly be in possession of a black ‘09 RX-8 - signed up and paid for the club membership earlier this week while researching the car and it’s definitely proved useful!
Although I’ve had an awareness of RX-8’s for a while, it was watching the Car Throttle episodes on them that...
Hi I used to be a owner before but left the scene now I’m back the Rx8 iv bought is one a girl I know used to own it’s been passed around since she sold it so I’m trying to get it back to it’s former glory it had a Mazda Rx8 owners club sticker on it so you might recognise her il add pictures now...

I currently have my RX8 6 speed gearbox on the floor of my garage. it appears to be leaking oil from the gasket between the gearbox and the gear selector, as opposed to the one between the gearbox and bell housing.
Is this a difficult fix? I'm not at all familiar with this box, so forgive me...
Hi guys, A new user here :D I just bought an auto 2007 RX-8 recently and noticed it won't rev past 7500 rpm. It goes up to 7.5k and gives the beep tone but doesn't go further. Just wanted to know if it is a normal thing for that car.
I was previously a member of the Owner's Club and was pleased to drive RX53FUN, a car I bought from a member of this forum. I didn't keep it for particularly long after switching from a long commute to work, to only needing to drive short distances - not far enough to warm the engine...
Hi
New to the club but not to the cars, had one in 2004 for 18 months and had to let her go after 18 months due to poor second hand value.
Roll on to 2017 and rescued my PZ from the scrap yard for £400.
Roll on to today and 7K in parts and upgrades later she is due back from the paint shop next...
I currently have a 2003 GT 350Z, and I fancy a change, I've been looking at RX8's for years! and now I have the oppurtunity to swap for a 40th Anniversary Edition in Metalic Grey.
I don't know if i'm crazy or stupid for swapping a 350z (which is argubly the much better car and will...
Not an official owner yet but we will be looking a 2003 RX8 as next project. Just glad to found this community full of knowledge. I'll be reading around.
Hello I just got a 09' r3 recently and finally I'm having a rotary!However I've been having my 3rd gear pops out frequently usually after 20min of drive. Saw couple posts with similar gearbox issue on their 09 model 8s in the forum but is there any aftermarket gearbox I could choose apart from old...
I just want to say Hi to everyone, My name is Ross, I'm 30 live in South Wales and apologise in advance for possibly bombarding some topics with post 😁. Only this month I bought myself a 2004 231. It's currently a non runner but looking forward to bring it back to life.
Thanks👍
Thought I'd sort out a profile and read around the forums for a bit before becoming a member.
Bought a fab 2004 192 RX8 in virtually original condition just over a year ago. It had 3 previous owners - a lady who used Mazda for every service and kept it original. An enthusiast who...
Just wanted to introduce myself as a newbie, I have been reading several of the posts and really enjoying all of your interactions. So I thought I would get involved. :)
I do not yet own an RX-8 although that isn't through lack of trying, very nearly walked away with a 40th anniversary...
Evening all. New member here not currently lucky enough to own an RX8 but on the look out for my ideal car. Will be used as an occasional daily when my commute needs cheering up.
Currently own an FD RX7 Type RS so not new to rotaries and their woes but never owned an 8.
Hey guys, loving this forum. I've read through most of the FAQ and found most things i wanted to know, just have a few random questions. Previous owner was using 5w30 and I plan to switch to 10w40 but I'm not sure how to go about it. Do i flush out as much as I can, or just drain the sump and...
Hello, glad to see such an active and supportive community for this car :D .
I've been eyeing an RX8 being sold as spares and repairs. Apparently it failed MOT because sills need welding under the car, i am entirely sure what that means, having only done my research on the engine...
I had an RX-8 about 8 years ago, but had to sell it due to the running costs and returning to uni after a placement year. I've been yearning for one ever since, but my commute just didn't allow for it.
Thankfully, fate transpired to make owning one viable again - due to Covid19 we have...
Believe it or not this is actually my first car, I picked up my 40th Anniversey RX8 no. 369/400 just over a month ago now and every single time I drive it or even look at it it puts a smile on my face.
Since I bought it I've have had to replace the battery as the one fitted by the garage...
Hi everyone. Just got a Red 2006 RX8 231 last week and love it :D
Have one little issue? When I'm sitting idling the revs seem to fluctuate a bit between 800 and 950ish and makes the car and gear stick vibrate a little.
Is this normal for this car/rotary engine as I'm not used to these? Any help...
Wanted to introduce myself, it's a polite thing to do. :)
I'm Martin from the Midlands and I've bought my RX-8 last week, I believe it's the first series 192. Always been a fan of the look, the engines (I'm afraid I don't know much about rotaries, but excited to learn) and...
Just joined the site today. My brother Stephen sadly passed away on 2nd August. Stephen lived on his own in Mordiford, Herefordshire. The past few weeks myself and my other brothers have been back and forth the property emptying it’s contents so the council can regain it (I live in...
Hello guys ! I’ve just bought a 2003 rx8. When I bought it the guy last minute told me it’s a MazdaSpeed rx8, which helped me understand the few badges and bits saying mazdaspeed etc. The front bumper has been replaced and the guy said the previous owner didn’t want to replace it with a true...
