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...
Hello RX8OC members, I just recently joined the paid membership in hope that I can learn and share with fellow minded Rotary enthusiasts as well as benefit from the advantage of being a member.
My name is Ash and I have owned a few RX7's (5 in total) along the years and am now on the hunt for a...
Hello everyone, after a long search I purchased a beautiful 2005 Strato blue RX8 from a member of this community.
I have had the car for a week and already had people stop to ask me about the car!
I live in Edinburgh and I haven’t seen any / many RX8’s around here for a while.
Thought I'd better introduce myself, bought my current RX-8 a couple of months ago but it spent about a month off the road after the catalytic converter was stolen, so I've only just joined the forum. Not my first RX-8 - I owned one about 10 years ago but unfortunately had to sell...
Hello! I'm a new member and new owner having picked up an 07 velocity red 231 about a month ago.
She's on 38k, has excellent compression and low to no rust and it's been magnificent so far. I've loved these cars since they were first shown nearly 20 years ago and it's been my goal to own one ever...
I've only just discovered this forum & Club after many years as an 'isolated' RX8 PZ owner, and I'm so glad to see that there is actually an active membership !
The car is SORN at the moment, after being mauled by a Muntjac deer in the middle lane of the M180 motorway last month. Hoping to be able...
Hi All, I have owned my RX-8 R3 for around two-and-a-half years now and thought it was about time I joined the Owners Club (having made use of some helpful tips from a few threads on here previously :thumright: )…
I am based in Berkshire and purchased the RX-8 as a new track-day toy, but one that...
Recently purchased an excellent low mileage PZ in galaxy grey! No rust and 6.8 6.8 6.8 front rotor and 6.9 6.9 6.9 rear rotor. So I'm over the moon with this car!! Bone stock at the moment and will remain pretty much that way. Apart from an RRP mk3 coil set that's on order.
Hello! Used to be a member - I had one of those low-cost leased RX-8s in 2006. That was 15 years after I started driving.
15 years after that, I just bought another RX-8... there was an attempt in the middle but that was a £350 high-VED wreck and we shall never speak of it.
Hi there! Names Zack, started with owning a mx-5 in 2005, after that had an rx-7 and a an acura. In 2017 bought my lovely RX-8, I am calling it Rexxie).
Great to be a newly registered member of the OC, I've been lurking for far too long. I bought an RX8 a couple years ago from a member on the forum, and it's a gorgeous, low mile model. It's been a great project for the boys and me, needed some fairly extensive 'surface' rust treatment...
Bought my Kuro back in February of this year and figured it was about time I joined up and said hello.
It's the first RX-8 i've owned so i'm new to the rotary life
Just thought I'd introduce myself as I'm now a member of the RX8 community having recently purchased a 40th anniversary edition RX8 from one of the members on here (Horsey1642). The car seems to be a good one which has been well looked after and includes plenty of service history. It's...
Hi,
Just bought a PZ and loving it so far…
It’s galaxy grey, VIN JMZSE173600141278
How do I find out its edition number pls?
I was trying Mazda UK, but web form seems to be down…
Cheers
Hi all,
I am looking to get back into sprinting and am considering a RX8 as a likely vehicle. I will not be taking things very seriously and want a car that I can drive to events, compete, and drive home again. I am considering a few possible vehicles (MGTF, Jag X-type 3.0, Fiesta ST 2.0) that can...
Hello everyone, my name is Nadja and I'm up in NE Scotland. Going to be viewing an 40ae tomorrow and everything sounds good on paper, so might be a new first time owner.
My biggest question, are there any nice little kits for premixing available? Where I can just...
In August 2019 I made a cheeky offer on a 2003 brilliant black 231 on eBay, based on the owners word that it had no hot or cold starting issues nor was rusty. The car had just passed an MOT, done about 50,000 miles and was well specced with black leather interior, satnav and what I believe is the...
Not sure if anyone is still on here who remembers me or not? Had a rex for a while, loved it, shed a tear selling it and every time I see one still i look in envy and try to convince myself that I should buy another even as a weekend toy :D
I've just recently purchased a 40th Anniversary Edition model of the RX8 in Met Grey which I took a bit of a gamble on by auction winning it on Ebay, but actually (for once) I seem to have been landed with a decent car. Need to remember to take a few pictures of it later - it's just...
I've been a forum member for around 10 years, never posting just lurking in the shadows. I had a series 1 many moons ago before dabbling with a BMW 1 Series, Jag XE, Merc C300d and finally back to a Sparkling Black 60 plate R3. Obviously I timed this purchase well with the...
Hi all, new here! I’ve actually had the car since October but kept it in the garage to do some work on it most of that time. I run a Jap car club in the West Mids and have had my fair share of Jap stuff, but this is my first rotary.
Just took it for an MOT and passed with no advisories which is...
I've looked at two and just walked away from the second. The car looked great, ~80k miles, 2008. I was just concerned that the owner who has had it two years and covered around 6k miles says the oil never needs topping up. He's had oil changed a...
This is my second rx8 so I would think of myself as a seasoned forum lurker. My first rx8 was a 55 plate, dark grey (dont know the actual colour name) 231, which was at some point part of the rx8 owners club as when I bought it, it was plastered with stickers from rx8ownersclub...
Hi everyone, just bought an R3 last week from Nick @ Enjoyable Autos, recommended dealer 👍
Car was actually spotted for sale on here in November on a thread about Thurleigh Auction and previous owner was a member on RXOC Facebook page previously I believe.
Hi all, I’m new to the forum.
I have a 55 plate RX8 231 that is really lumpy on tick over when warm unless I hold the revs at 1500rpm. If I leave to idle it will stall this happens only when warmed up any ideas?
Thanks
I wanted your collective advice, as am picking up an RX8 in the next week or so, which I cant wait for, as it's in great condition. This is to replace and upgrade the existing 2005 RX8 231 PS that I currently own. This one was intended as a...
Hi all,
Picked up an 04 Lightning Yellow and am starting to put a list together based on my own experiences with the car. Zero history came with it & compression wasn’t great, although I’m unsure if the tester had any/much experience of Rotary engines…it is, what it is as a rebuild is inevitable...
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year all round, hoping you can help with either my covid delusions (day 9 of isolation, yay) or what could be a very rare good idea from myself :lol:
I currently find myself carless after selling my Fiesta ST at the end of the year, it was on pcp and I'd...
Hi I have had my Rx8 for about a month now using her as a daily driver,
And I did a 60 mile trip filled her up at the petrol station and would not start, had to wait 30 min and started up fine, I took it to where I had to go and when I started her up 8 hours later (no problems with cold start...
I’m looking into buying my first rx8 AND this will also be my first rotary!
I have done my research and I’m a more than capable self taught mechanic, so I’m not put off by any potential issues that may come from possibly the worst financial mistake of my life 🤣
I’m in for the long term! I want to...
Many will know my car from Instagram and Facebook, but despite having owned RX8s for 12 years (the current one for 8 years) I am new here on rx8 owners club.
Currently working on a couple of cars, the main project being the wide bodied purple RX8 / Evo build. The second being my track...
Hi guys, been looking at RX8s years ago but never bit the. bullet and went for it!
I've had the itch reignited again and am very keen to get one, ideally looking to trade my MX5 (2004 54 plate Arctic SE, 1.8, Colour coded hard top, 80000 miles, new exhaust, battery, mid pipe and front rails in...
I'll be picking up my S1 on Friday and am a tad excited to say the least. I've done all my buyer research, having owned one in 2016 (and learnt about the joys of rotary engines) so have not rushed into buying but having found the right one, I'm very much looking forward to picking her up and...
Im giving some serious thought into buying a late model RX8 - i've built and owned a number of modified of cars (never a rotary), so i am hands on, have access to facilities and tools - and im prepared for issues.
I have read through the newbie buyers guide - and now know & understand...
New member to this forum, and having just sold my previous car (Range Rover 4.2 V8 Supercharged) I'm looking for something less eye-watering to run, and infinitely more Japanese.
I'll be having a scout about to see what comes up and filling in the gaps in my knowledge about the...
New to me, a 06 231, read watched many 8 buyers guides
I took the plunge on this 59K car with full service history, no MOT failures, cleanest underside minimal cosmetic corrosion on suspension in the bargain low end price bracket I could afford.
Car originally a Bristol area then Yeovil Somerset,...
Hello everyone, just bought an R3 so looking forward to using these forums! After considering a Z4 and 135i (I used to own a few BMW's) I figured I should stick to Japanese only and now own the R3 alongside my Lexus LS400.
Going to take it to the performance shop at some point for a quick oil...
Evening all!
Bought a 2005 rx8 on a bit of whim... It had been sat parked up for a while needed some love, I knew it needed welding and some bits doing, got told it ran before it was parked up and needed some new coils and plugs... however that's not the case #-o , oh well, needs an engine rebuild...
As per the title, following some slightly squiffy mental calculations I am now the proud owner of a S1 231 RX8 in black. It has both factory options (seems like Mazda kept the list short!) and whilst there’s some things need doing I feel like it’s a decent base point. By which I mean...
Names mark and hello everyone
New to the rx8 crew
Trying to navigate the site so might go quiet lol
Not sure how you post photos ??? Any help much appreciated
Hello, I'm hoping to buy a 2008 231 RX8 in the next few days. At the moment it does not start. If I can start it up within one day of me working on it I will buy it (price already agreed).
The battery was shot, but I brought a recently charged battery with me. This failed to start it. In...
