New Member Here! Hi everyone :D

Post by Metatron »

Hi all,

New member here... joined as my scrappy gifted 2007 sunlight silver R1 needed some tlc and I need to tap into to the rich vein of RX8 knowledge :lol:

Got the front end off to put a new rad in only to find everything corroded and oil lines on last legs :shock: Subframe crispy too but not holed thankfully... no holes in body thankfully :twisted:

If anyone RX8 savvy is around South Oxfordshire area I could do with a hand to get the last oil line changed that goes under the inlet upper plenum :-D (can pay for time of course). I break electrical connectors on sight so I need someone with more finess and skill than I got :-D

Gr8 to be here!!

Welcome. I am not sure what oil line you are referring to as going under the inlet plenum as the oil lines tun side to side under the front crossmember and down the spark plug side of the engine.
I have a full set if OE oil lines, flexi and the solid ones, totally corrosion free if you need a set and am Cheltenham based.
