Rx8 de France

Post by renesis19 »

Hello,

My name is Rudy, I am French and passionate about rotary. I own an Rx8 S1 231 with only 17000kms, a 1973 Rx2 coupe, a 1973 Rx3 coupe, a 1991 Rx7 turbo 2 cabriolet and a 1984 FB.

I am using google translate, hope you can easily follow the conversation.


I made some minor changes on the Rx8, ignition and RRP decat. I am waiting to receive my RRP silencer as well, of good quality!

I also tried to install a cruise control, I plugged everything in, followed the post of one of your comrade with a program via ELM but it does not work, if you have information, I am interested;)

Hi Rudy,

Nice collection of rotary's you have.
I followed the instructions for cruise control I found on here and they worked for me.
Hope you can get cruise control working.

I think you will only be able to see the original build thread in the public area by Jamiem. There are a lot of blind alleys in that thread and mistakes and discoveries throughout. This is to be expected. There is a cleaned up thread in the members area designed as a clear how to. One of the many Benefits of membership.

Thank you for your welcome, I will post photos of my cars tonight :)

I'm sorry but I don't understand where I have to introduce myself on the forum?

I have indeed followed the steps of your friends Jamien, everything is plugged in, program loaded, but the car does not want to register it, I am aware that this is not the right place, but I accept with pleasure l 'place to go.

Welcome renesis19

The complete guide is in the members only section here.

To access that part of the forum you would need to join as a paid member.

Did you have the 4 wire's going to the brake pedal switch, or have you had to wire it all in?
