Ahah. My plans to crate ship/pallet ship all my car stuff south and drive the 8 south when it comes to it. Seems the best way of taking everything with me efficiently.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
I would LOVE to wash it every week, but I don't have a hose and don't trust either a machine or Jimmy Squeegee at the hand carwash to do a good job/not ruin my paintwork, not that I ever bought the car to be a showcar (as anyone who's seen it will attest!)
Also I live in the Westcountry. Lotsatraaaacters about, gets proper muddy round'ere.

Ahah yeah... Having a hose will be a prequisite for me when I go and look for a house to rent with my dad alongside a garage or at least a sensibly sized drive.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
You might be shocked the first time you wash your car in England, having been used to nice soft Scottish water.

I was pleasantly surprised when we moved from Essex to NI, as I no longer have to do the final rinse with dehumidifier water to avoid spots.

I thoroughly recommend an Autoglym Instadry

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Zero degrees last night and was forced to start it up for the first time in a year and two month due to not be able to push it back in my unit up the tiny slope and door lip on my own. Yet again much to my surprise, it fired right up with no fault and run perfectly.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Checked the tyre pressure whilst its still sitting about.. hadn't dropped too badly and hopefully Ill give the wheels a rotation by hand when I hopefully get good weather again since its now drizzly and wet! Planning on taking the dead cat off and going the route of selling it to someone for the precious metals... Pretty sure its an aftermarket not OEM job... But I'll see what I can get. Every little helps in getting the car back on the road.

Haha. Trying to really dig down into this custom lighting. But it’s not as easy as it sounded when I wrote it down in paper. It’s not completely to plan....
