With JDM Combe and Beaulieu on the same weekend it struck us that would be an excellent opportunity to have a WHOLE WEEKEND of car shows including our ANNUAL MEET !!
So it is JDM Combe on the Saturday 20th July, discounted...
Following a few recent conversations on the forum, I thought I would just compose a little message for all to give better understanding of Club ethos and tradition, for clarification or new information for members.
Firstly, the club is all about our members and enjoying time...
So I sold all cars in the beginning of the year and I decided to have ls430 for family motor and rx8 for fun days
Was completely standard
First job was to get mid resonator delete and change the back box and run 2x double tips
Ordered wheels from Japan Work viranzia and now running 19 inch

I originally made a post asking about a DIY alignment. I now have more information and details that have me asking a new question...
the issue I am having is the rear wheels on my Touareg are leaning in a fair bit at the top, so I guess excessive camber. This picture does an excellent...
This picture was taken (14/03/22). Margate, Kent, is returned to 1980 for a film set
Filming for a Hollywood blockbuster is well under way along a Kent seafront which has been transformed into a winter wonderland.
Actors and crew are in Margate where they are shooting new movie Empire of Light....
I've been doing a lot of miles in my R3 the past couple of years for work. Too many really so we agreed for the company to hire me an electric car on a rolling monthly rental. So here is my new work horse, the 41kw Renault Zoe. It's a brand new car and I'm her first renter.
I know a lot of people will think I am showing off, but when you work hard for the good things for your family, you deserve to treat yourself. I can’t express the happiness I am feeling right now.
White was the only color they had, and I would of preferred blue but it doesn’t matter. I went for it...
Hi, struggling to find anything helpful on the internet, Zafira not exactly being an enthusiasts car. It's such a basic thing I'm hoping one of you will be able to give some advice. Right hand rear wheel is stuck. Left side rotates fine. It's drums though, which I'm not too familiar with. On the...
For me, for the last three years, there has only been one car that suited the enthusiastic driver who also has a life, friends, and life things to do, and that has been the E63s estate; all the pace of a 911 turbo, all the comfort of a Bentley Mulsanne, all the interior room of a Range Rover, and...
Ive been hunting for a new daily for awhile...my Wrx wagon has been with 7 years and i wanted something else.

I have a 2007 Touareg that needs the rear alignment looked at, the tyres have worn down on the inside edge, and when you look at the car from the back the wheel actually looks like they are tipping in at the top. Realistically, how easy is it to fix this at home?
In August 2021 I regretably sold my RX8, which was midway through a race car conversion, in order to fund a childhood dream: owning an Alpina BMW.
I came across the E39 5-series based B10 on Autotrader, advertised at a price I couldn't ignore let alone resist. Couple of phone calls later I bought...
Picked this v1 estate up around September to use as a daily (I don't cover many miles :lol: ) and to fit parts for the 8 inside.
It's covered 173,000 miles and seen 7 other owners, but is in remarkably good condition considering. The bodywork is tatty in places, but the engine feels strong (has had...
So after dailying an r53 cooper s and having an 8 for weekends I have made the very wise and adult Decision to swap the mini for something economical but not mind numbingly boring. Been looking at a few options and like the idea of a 1 series m sport diesel MK1. The only snag I have is they all...
After just a year of Ford ownership we decided is not for me And Jessy (a.k.a the boss ) and we sold the s max last Friday and the Mondeo will be partly stripped and sold
And we bought the new whip lawnmower

This was originally a quick and dirty first post because I was having an issue, but I'll edit this post with some photos and a nice history later. I've edited it with some history, need to dig some photos out as they're not close to hand! Original post is in the spoiler.
People who know me will know that I adore RX7's so when this popped up on my YT feed it grabbed my attention.The guy who built this is 23 so serious kudos to him. =D>
I'm not a wide body kit fan but the more I look at this the more I like it 8) Is there a better looking car from the front than...
Having just done the Two Ball Rally (TBR700) same as the NC500 but an extra 200 miles, up Scotland in a mates R53 Cooper S and had such a blast. I just had to get one😂. So I found this one in Wolverhampton, picked it up this morning. So say hello to “Mouse” as Karen has named it!! It’s had all the...
If a moderator is trying to read this thread please delete it as there will be no other up dates the thread is up dated on face book where I do not have to pay the privilege thank you and good bye :lol:
I daily drive an Audi A4 the runs like a charm, anyhow I thought it might be wise to invest in a OBD diagnostics and coding tool for it. The only sensible thing you can really get for VAG is VCDS (VAG-com diagnostic system), I only got the Hex+Can Version for 2015 or earlier cars that set...
Looking at getting a new car from a work programme.
For tax reasons I am getting pushed down the Batter/Hybrid route but there are not many out there that are capable of towing - or at any particular range (especially with a car trailer and RX8 on the back)
Just wondering whether anyone has any ideas where I can get a new pipe for the steering rack on a Chevy captiva? Mine has worn hole in it and has lost all fluid. Got the pipe off but can't find a new replacement online easily. Can I take it somewhere for it to be duplicated? I've attached...
last week as I was driving home from a weekend in Switzerland (I'm from Germany not the UK so its not really too far for a weekend trip) the wheel-bearing in my Audi A4 daily driver decided to shred itself and (unusually for a wheel-bearing) become so bad in just a couple of miles...
We have a 2002 UK-spec 3.7V6 with 106k miles on the clock.
Yesterday, for no apparent reason the alarm went off while she was parked in our very quiet drive.
I took the keys out, pressed the button on the fob and the alarm stopped, for about 10 seconds, then started again. Pressed the buttons...
Well.....
No RX8 and as of tomorrow no MX5.
I’m turning all family and getting a Jaguar XE.
I hope I’m not tempting fate like last time, but on Wednesday I should be driving home in this
So we have purchased one of our favourite looking car that we can afford with Jessy for our daily drive also we can attend jap show hah
Noting track ready but imho can be made to be beautiful daily motor
Plan for this is keep the engine suspension stock and fit

My 2007 Mazda 6 had its AC regassed about 3 weeks ago and all was fine, until yesterday. I was driving along when a rattling / scraping sound, appearing to come from the front driver's side, possibly around the wheel arch or in the engine bay and to the right of the steering wheel started....
Is it safe to remove a 2007 Mazda 6 steering wheel airbag module? My two year old is obsessed with, drive drive! so I got him the same wheel as he's used to in the 6, but it weighs almost as much as he does and much of this seems to be the airbag module, which I'd like to remove - if safe...
HI Guys,

I have been in search of more power but was unsure which way to go.
Having spoken with some engine builders and fellow...
So I thought I would make a little collection of photos and some documentation of my little project/daily driver that I will be working on while my Rx8 is sorned at my parents house for the next couple of months.
After watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people doing civic ek builds, I was set...
'Customer states' the air con smells like a public toilet.....probable causes anyone?

Hi All - All very new to Mazda and RX-8 but I have inherited one from my brother so feel I need to bring it back to life after it has sat for 18 months doing nothing. Below are my other cars - Merc W201 190e 2.6 and S124 300TE-24 Sportline
She was bought by my parents in 2000 from a Skoda dealer as an ex-demonstrator with less than a thousand miles on the clock.
Even before the ink was dry on the demonstrator contract, the dealer discovered that Skoda were no longer going to offer the...
Mum's 09 Fiesta has only 19,000 on the clock and has had three springs replaced in the last two years, the fourth just broken this evening, at least we assume that's what the familiar clunk is when hitting a bump, will confirm in the morning.
That will be the complete set now, so hopefully the...
We have been having an ongoing intermittent issue with the fiancé's DS3 and the above mentioned fault. I can seem to track down any useful info regarding it.
Basically what happens is you are driving along fine, then suddenly the engine cuts power, and I mean instantly, if [edited]...
Well I finally changed cars after 6 years of R3 ownership.. my boy is off to University today and he was really the main reason I kept the car for so long.. plus of course I loved her too :)
He has been wanting a Megane RS for a fairly long time and has been on at me to change cars.. with the...
This is the rx8 replacement. Not that classy but still okay to drive cheap parts and cheap to insure also like the lift after 6k rpm
Won't be heavy modified is just run around and a bit of fun hopefully few track days etc.
Evening all,i am testing the water here,and wondering whether anyone is in the market for a Ford Capri 2.8 injection?
i have come to the conclusion that i simply can't give all these cars i have the attention they deserve,and i am doing non of them any favours by simply sitting on them. if anyone...
We took delivery of this little beauty yesterday.
It needs a wash already as you can see.
415bhp and 400ftlb of V8 power in a compact convertible. Has the rare magic sky roof which is a glass panel in the folding roof that goes from clear to dark tint at the touch of a button.
Totally immaculate....
Been a while since I've posted anything, as the RX-8 has moved on to lead a new life, but just thought I'd post a topic on its replacement as who knows what will happen to it during my ownership!
So, introducing my 2019 Mazda 6 GT Sport Nav + 2.5 Auto Saloon (to give it's full title...
