What have you done to your RX-8 today????

[startsomehting]

Sprayed the Advanced centre plates this morning and fitted the newly sprayed Mazdaspeed bumper with smoothed side repeaters. Then got the plates fitted and got another signature on the charity bonnet this afternoon.

Car has been cleaned inside and out, machine polished and then hand polished. The results are fantastic and apparently took 7 1/2 hours to achieve! Looking forward to seeing everyone at Japfest tomorrow.

Hi Britishlion1 I'm using Maguires carnuba polish with a terry towel cloth followed by maguires carnuba wax applied with a plain cotton rag

Finally got my Nexus 7 into the car. Unfortunately chipped a small part of the surround as you can notice in the photo

It looks worse than it is but its still there and I notice it which is frustrating! Pretty chuffed with the result though. Still need to wire the motor up and sort out the display settings for the tablet so it all comes on and off correctly!

Fantastic idea love it!!! Wish mine had the satnav option so i could do this its brilliant i may have to look into buying the plastic for the top of the dash for sat nav option

[.craig.]

There is a satnav pod on ebay for peanuts what i want to know is, is the screen motor open motor close or just spring loaded, if its motord then i cpuld wire it in fine, thats is if the motor is included in the pod. If its just spring loaded even better

[fakedollar]

It's motorised and built into the pod, it's fairly straight forward to wire in too.

Yeah, mine didnt come with the Sat Nav as standard. I purchased the hood/housing seperately.

I think you have sparked a few peoples brains into doing this, i noticed a thread asking of diy data amd one or two others wanting the same idea. A link to the diy thread has been put up looks very easy to do

Today I cured my steering wheel rattle. What a silly design oversight! I put tiny rubber o-rings on the posts.

It was a mess. The engine from the car died from massive double bearing failure, the housings were pretty good but the irons were shot. I bought a donor engine hoping to be able to salvage enough parts and discovered it had a worse fate:


So ended up having to source other parts too. It's all in the project thread mate, in my signature.
