Drove around endlessly trying to find somewhere that sells axle stands without success. This country can be bloody frustrating at times!!
Oh and had to spend £20 on Ebay to order a new seatbelt as Harvey the dog decided to nibble one of them when I was in a shop! Not been a great day......

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
drove it to Newport to diagnose Richard's "hard to start" issue. Failing coils appear to be the culprit, but generally checked the battery, starter speed etc and all seems good, whip one coil off and sure enough, serious white spotting. Good to know its an easy fix though!

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Booked the car in to Vinyl Skins in Horsham to have the rear screen and windows tinted - 20% tint likely will post when complete.
Toyed with the idea of getting the rear lights done too - anyone else done it ?

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
£120 - seems about right to me.
Also quoted me £1150 for a full 3M matte black wrap - was VERY tempted but honestly can't justify on a car I bought for £5K.
They did a great wrap job on an Audi A6 recently

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Swapped out the standard air filter for a K&N one. There is clearly a knack I am missing in getting the filter box out, it was more like a wrestling contest, it was the same last year. Glad i won't have to do that again for a while now.
