Rebuild

[Steven bagshaw]

Hello, just joined the rx8 club. Had my 2006 rx8 for about 9 years and think the compression has failed,changed the plugs and coils (no difference),showing all the signs (trouble starting when hot). Any of you know the best place for a rebuild?, I'm in Rotherham, south yorkshire. Thanks in advance.
Regards steve.

You have rotary revs in Bately Leeds. That have a good reputation, if you want to travel you have Ryan rotary performance, who also have a good reputation in Rugby

[ChrisHolmes]

Others companies are known to us but logistically and quality wise you are fortunate to be fairly near to both of those companies

[Steven bagshaw]

Does anybody know about subs?.

[350matt]

Submarines?
Subway sandwhichs?

bit more detail please

[PaulAV]

Sexual preferences?

Talking about subscriptions,
Anyway that problem's been solved.
To all rx8 owners who are articulate with the English language, any ideas with rx8 car covers?.
Having my engine rebuilt next month and have no garage, so need a decent cover?.

mod edit: unacceptable language.

Some Rx8 owners have a sence of humour some don't.
When asking for help it may be advisable to build bridge's.

Adrian Flux offer competitive quotes for decent cover, or have i got the wrong end of the stick, what with me being Welsh an all.

This was my first thought

Think you should be worried if your brain is working the same way as mine

Other than dust covers on a dry car in a garage, which doesn’t apply here, car covers do more harm than good by retaining moisture and causing scratches. Special situations such as a missing bonnet are best dealt with by covering that area alone or, better still, replacing the bonnet (if you drop the subframe and engine as Mazda do then this doesn’t apply).

At last a sensible answer!

If space permits consider a Carcoon
Basically a large air bubble the car sits it.
Nothing touches the car at all.
They do turn up used on EBay and the like.

Just had an rx8 engine rebuilt and would like to have the wheels refurbished and possibly a body kit fitted, any ideas where I could get this done, I'm in the south yorkshire area.

[Lemon]

best bet will be to google wheel refurbishment companies in your area and see who has the highest rating.

[DrewR3]

Trimcraft in west yorkshire (halifax), guy I work withs Dad owns it.

[Steven bagshaw]

Thank you people for your kind responses, but I will be leaving the rx8 club when my subs run out (did I really say subs).
I will continue the restoration on my own.

[ChrisHolmes]

I never like to see people leave when they still own an RX8 and especially when still working on the car. Renewal is £26 and well worth it to keep in touch regarding events, discounts and advice.
All the best whatever you decide to do.

You can still participate in the forum, however access will be restricted, I myself have alternated between full membership and guest.
And of course local meets etc will still welcome you asking generally.
