Hi guys, finally got round to buying myself another RX8. Took a risk and appear to have got myself a bargain.
Picked up an 07 kuro edition RX8 for £950 @ 88k miles. No compression test results available, but previous MOT was completely clean and the one before that was only advisories for pads,...
Newbie currently looking to purchase. Had a nice car history, GT86, then an M240i. Unfortunately, had to trade the BMW for a 7 seat Van Sportline to transport the kids in and now looking for a cheap way to bring the fun back into driving
Hi everyone, I am a soon (few months due to import) to be RX8 owner. I am based in the north east and don’t see many RX8s around, but it would be good to get to some meets and events once mine arrives!
I currently drive a Toyota MR2 and a Suzuki Every Landy Import, I’ve previously had some MX5s...
I live in Stourbridge near Birmingham and own a PZ thats now been off the road for 2 years. I was looking at getting in back on the road and MOT'd but want to get a compression test done as I may consider selling it this year. Anyone near B'ham/Stourbridge you know that can do a compression...
I'm Adam, son of former Owners Club member Essex2Visuvesi (Gary). We used to regular the Essex pub meets when he got his PZ when I was 14, and here I am, 10 years later, and still obsessed with these silly little triangle cars. After a couple of years without an RX-8, I've once again found...
My friend recently bought a 54plate RX8 with the intent of “doing it up” and selling it on. And being the JDM nerd I am I have said I’ll buy it, and it has motivated me to swap from my XJ6-S and actually get my car licence.
However, I am in no way mechanically inclined and I am...
Hi everyone
I have had an interest in RX8's for some years and now have the time and opportunity to dive in!
Still researching the various models etc but do rather like PZ's especially in black.
Anyway I'll have a good read and go from there.
Short background story followed by a request. Sorry for the depressive start. Potential trigger warning;
A few weeks back I found my best mate who had died by suicide. I won’t go into details to save anyone here’s mental state. But I attempted CPR without success.
Me, this friend and...
Had my R3 for 2 weeks now (2010 model with 39k on the clock, fantastic compression figures)
Absolutely love it.
I blame my son, Austin, who is a member here with his 40th Anniversary.
Purchased from Nick at Enjoyable Cars, who is a top bloke.
Hello,
I’m Chris, 40 going on 18 and totally new to the rotary world after enjoying from afar, i wont show you what ive bought yet as that would ruin the surprise! Amusingly Adrian Flux did question whether id owned anything this powerful before, i guess a 1.8 MX5 and a 318i (edited cos im a...
Hello all,
I have finally just joined this club and am hoping to meet some of you at a meet or event.
I am very proud of my RX8 and have owned her since 2016.
We have been on many trips together and now it is time to sort her out and maybe get a respray?
There are a few bits missing like interior...
Been on the forum for a while, but never actually made a hello post!
Got a 2010 R3, originally silver, but after a long winter hibernation, it has now come out in Avery white snow pearl gloss.
Mileage is a little high, but solid compression numbers after a rebuild 10k ish miles ago.
I wasn't even looking for a replacement for the MX5, but in January this came up for sale, and wellllll....
I should add I'm not particularly mechanically minded, haven't had a modified or rotary engine car before, and don't really want to do track days (Hooting around A & B roads is a different...
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum because I'm looking for my dream car, an RX8 of course :twisted:
I hope to take advantage of the buyer's guide and your invaluable advice!
Cheers !!
Right before I get into this I'm going to say I am using the taptalk app and it makes the forum fairly confusing for myself so I'm sorry if I am posting this in the incorrect section. Also sorry for the mass context
So I have a 2006 PZ Edition Mazda Rx8 231ps, It's been modified by a previous...
Hi just a short introduction my names kieren i live in the North West, And have owned three RX8'S in total my latest addition being No 600 of 800 made Prodrive / OZ Racing PZ Edition
I am currently having an issue where the car takes crazy long to start when cold (after at least 4 hours), but if I start the car, let it run for 15-30 seconds and shut it off it and try to start again it will start in less than a second.
Hello everyone, and thanks for letting me into the forum.
I am 75% serious about getting myself an RX8 in the next year or so, once I have sold my bike and sorted my workshop. I wanted to get some insights from this forum before I firmed up any decision. The car would be a hobby, and I like to...
I feel the need to scratch the rotary itch before they will be banned from life by the various governments around the world.
I have done a fair bit of reading, and am off to see one on Saturday that has a good set of commons mods (plugs, upgraded coils, SOHN adapter etc), but I have...
Hi all, I decided to join the forum as usual this would be a good venue to gather the look out when buying the car and of course to see what the ownership maybe like.
I'm still in 2 mind about the RX8, my other car is a 350z (on axle stand) and a hybrid SUV...... Missing the heel toe action........
Had my Sunlight Silver 6 port 6 speed 2005 for 3 years.
Bought with a new engine, but didnt trust it given the cars sketchy past being left in a yard as a deceased estate. For safety, swapped the motor out with a freshy balanced for high revs....
Hello, a few days ago I bought my dream car, an R3, and I couldn’t be happier. It has 92k miles on the original engine (2010) and mid 6’s on compression but full Mazda service history and has been well maintained by 2 previous owners I believe and looks amazing inside and out. It has recently had...
Wanted one of these for... a while. Probably since about the time my car was new :) Finally bought one, my second car ever :D
Slightly less than two tanks of fuel later (which got me... about as far as I expected, but perhaps not as far as some of the people I know expected :lol:), here I am.
I had been looking around for quite a while for a RX8, I took the plunge about a month ago and I'm pleased with what I have got, bit of cosmetic work needed but running wise it is steady and goes well. Took it on a long drive the other day and it didn't miss a beat.
This is just a very quick post to introduce myself and to say hello :salut: .
I have been a long time reader of the forum and an even longer admirer of the RX8 but, until October this year, had not even driven one. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful 40th Anniversary model in Met...
Hi. I got RX-8 first gen. I've done plenty mods already, mainly focusing on improving reliability:
Sohn adapter. I use MOTUL 300V 15W50 COMPETITION for oil pan and MOTUL 710 2T SYNTHETIC for adapter tank
Bigger coils with better cables
RX7 oil pressure...
Thanks for letting me join your forum. As a Citroen mechanic since 1980, I have a fetishism for unusual cars. I recently came into some money and was tempted by another Citroen BX.
However, I drive through Todmorden every few weeks and there's an abandoned RX-8 that has been sitting there for the...
I've just taken delivery of my third RX-8 — an R3 in Velocity Red, which I bought from Nick at Enjoyable Cars. It's fairly high mileage (90k) but looks really well looked after. Decent compression, no visible rust, gearbox and clutch all feel really good. It's had one owner since 2009.
Sadly, not a new Batman movie, just the return of a previous member. Mrs Penguin and I look forward to attending a meet in Essex soon. I have been trying to persuade a fellow 40th anniversary member in Felixstowe to join too.
So about that title... I want to take on an engine swap project sometime next year and I'm currently planning it all out. And the victim of said project is looking to be an RX8 so I came here looking for some info on it, whether it be about the chassis or electrical (it's going to be...
I thought I’d introduce myself, I did look on here a few years back but now I have 2 RX8’s so feel better equipped.
I met Malcolm and Brian today at go japan and decided to join your group. I was a little anxious u might not take to a piston engined RX8 , but rest assured I have a rotary one...
I owned a 192 in Winning Blue in the early noughties and had to move it on when our babies needed to fit in the back. It's always had a special place in my mind.
17 years later with both of them 6ft 4 and able to look after themselves (well, nearly) and I...
Purchased a stormy blue Rx8 from James (rotary specialist) on Facebook originally advised me to join the group and I am not disappointed:) (Top bloke) was just back today to have some coil overs fitted and handling much better.
Loving the car, have been mainly into old BMs in the past...
I finally picked up a Sunlight Silver RX8 after wanting one for quite a while and doing a lot of research. It must be one of the few left with only one owner, with 88000 miles and full service history. It seems like it has almost every option, but somehow, no electrically folding mirrors?...
Hi chaps just bought a none running rx8 in very good condition with only 30k miles on it but the engine is goosed. so im about to spend a small fortune on getting this back in to the action below i will list everything that im getting done to the engine its...
Recently picked up a single owner 2004 RX8 with 43k on the clock.
For a nearly 20 year old car it's in excellent shape and I've just been chopping away at small things here. Tires need to be replaced as they are the originals if you can believe it.
While generally well kept I'll be going through...
I've completely in love with the RX-8 since first seeing one in Need For Speed Underground 2 back in 2004ish. Every time I've bought a car in the last 15 years, there's been some reason I couldn't get one, but not this time. My beloved Celica that...
