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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
New owner in the Berkshire/Oxfordshire area. Picked up a 231 in Winning Blue this week.
First time Wankel owner, although Ive owned an array of Japanese performance cars over the past 20 years. The main one being a Z32 300zx TT Slicktop that Ive had for over 15 years now.
Not sure where to start or if anyone will read this.... The RX8 is my dream affordable car without question. I was captivated by it probably around 2007ish but was never in a position to buy. I did all my research back then and learnt alot, but life takes over and the passion gets locked away....
Hi, Ive just officially joined this club and thought I would post a pic up of my 8. Ive had it now for around three years, full service history etc, runs like a dream, I used to own an RX7 but when kids came along it had to go (wish I'd kept it ££££), ill post a pic of it up sometime. I plan on...
Just thought I'd post to introduce myself after my first event at JDM Combe (Not with the Owners Club). I've had my RX8 for over a month now and it's been amazing, after following this forum closely for a couple of months I decided to take the plunge and get myself an RX8. I followed all the buying...
I thought it best to introduce my self and the company before wading in with a list of products and offers :)
JP4mance Tuning Parts Ltd is an online only retail business specialising in aftermarket performance car parts. We've been around for about 19 years, so it's quite...
I've had my 2008 231 in winning blue for a couple of months now though I'm not sure exactly what packages I have (bose system). I'm sure that I'll bug you all for much advise in the future and so I thank you all in advance. :lol:
My first line of inquiry is number plates, I've...
I just picked up a beautiful pz at the weekend and wow… absolutely blown away already. It handles like an absolute dream, so nimble and the response you get from the steering is so confidence inspiring! Pulls wonderfully too and god the sound… I don’t think words can do a rotary banging...
Hi Everyone.
I have been registered awhile though not been a fully committed/active member of the club.
I am based in the SouthEast in Camberley, Surrey and I purchased my RX8 in 2009 with 9000mls on the clock. The car is now at 70k (and on its original engine) and has not been my main car for many...
Hi 👋🏻
Always wanted one since seeing it on Top Gear all those years ago!
What a puzzle to unravel, only had it a couple months and stripped the engine bay out to fix a lot of issues.
Enjoying it immensely, unravelling previous owners mods and mindsets.
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’m Daz, 41 from the durham area, I’m not a owner yet ut I’ve joined as I’m looking to get my first rotary as my “play” car
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...
