Wouldn't be surprised if a few hours with a hammer and a pulled later, it'll be back out. Fingers crossed.

i was down at combe a few weeks ago with a mate Jon and a civic EP3 went in at the exact same spot... there seems to be a spot just on the entrance to the corner that standing water is building up on, i don't know if this is since they resurfaced the circuit but it's the worst possible place to aquaplane.

I was under the car today checking diff oil level and saw a worn toe link bush so I replaced it ,for a simple job it was hell.
As the outer drive shaft had a split in it so replaced the shaft then l fitted my modified toyo sport decat which was simple and a good seal to.

I mean, okay, it's not an RX-8, and the roundy roundy engine has fallen out in favour of an uppy-down one....but the supercharger still has two tri-lobe rotors going around, that counts, right?

Restoring RX8 headlamps.
Step 1:
Mask off the headlamp and wet sand with 1500 grit wet and dry. Regularly spray with clean water and check progress.
Wash off and repeat with 3000 grit wet and dry paper.
The headlamp will have a dull finish.

Step 3:
Ensure area is clean and dry, use a clean microfiber cloth to ensure a good quality surface.
Carefully mask off the headlamp and surrounding area.
Accidentally pick up tin of etch primer instead of clear coat and apply a good layer!
Nice pics
