Hi,
I'm Grégory, 40Y, mechanical designer. I'm living near Paris.
I come here to find information's about the RX8. I 'm looking for since 2 weeks, a RX8 231HP. LHD , because I think the UK RX8 have their end life in France, 50% of RX8 to sell in France are RHD.
I found one Yellow with low mileage (68000kms), but rusted. See pictures.
I want to know if the quarter and skirt must be replace or not, parts are always available from Mazda?
My objective is to try the RX8 on different racetracks.
I already participated to the Japfest with my NSX. Ones again, compared to us, you are passionate. It was amazing to me to see all your cars.
An unbelievable day at castle combe.
Thanks,
Grég

Hi and anachonda. I could easily be wrong, but the rust on that car looks like it may be treatable without the need to replace anything ... how are the sills? If you do need to replace any parts there are some places (eg bigpete on here - Boston Rotary - or LC Rotary and a few others) where good used parts can be found, I think you would struggle to get anything like that from Mazda.
We usually have a club stand at some events like Japfest (it has moved away from Castle Combe now to Silverstone and I don't think we will be there this year, but we will be at JDM Castle Combe (club members only for this one) and at Tunerfest South at Brands Hatch (all welcome) both in June this year and at Castle Combe again for Forge Action Day in September (again all welcome plus we have an exclusive track session booked). You can find details of the shows where the club will be present here viewforum.php?f=101
There are also details of track days where club members and other RX-8 owners will be attending (including one at Spa-Frangorchamps in Belgium in October) here viewtopic.php?f=100&t=78678

Re: newer from France
Hi anachonda
bienvenue ici.
Tu peux me contacter par mp.
Le premier problème de la RX8 est la rouille, le deuxième est l'état des compressions. Aussi je t'invite à acheter une caisse en bon état carrosserie RHD ou LHD. J'ai une RHD et on s'adapte bien, ça ne doit pas te limiter. De plus les voitures que tu trouveras en UK sont moins chères et si tu en achètes une à un des membres ici ce sera une honnête transaction.

Re: newer from France
