Should both large ends be outside as with the bushes you removed.

It’s my original plywood splitter wrapped in gloss black with the extra plastic ends bonded and screwed on the ends. Nothing lavish

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Yeah I was in a rush due to the beautiful English weather last week and ended up spending another 20 mins in the rain trying to figure out a way to get the bushing back out without taking the arm back off.ChrisHolmes wrote:Thanks for posting so honestly.

Ended up also putting in some Tein lowering springs so have to find some time to get it booked in for an alignment.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Not the RX8, but a noteworthy milestone in the hardworking daily Volvo V70 2.5 5 cylinder TD, 144444 miles and still has a kick to her, I do love it. Its also such a huge difference to the RX8, heavy and loads of torque as opposed to light and a screamer.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Removed uim to access solenoids, due to massive flat spot from 4-7k(it was so big I thought I was going to set a visit from a flat earther) replaced solenoids, took an hour start to finish, also discovered a small vacuum hose(link pipe) loose under the throttle body so secured that as well. Will take it for a spin shortly just to confirm all is well

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
So after replacing the solenoids I went for a raz around, and was getting cels and not the performance I was expecting, seemingly same issue, scratching my head for a minute, I go and have a look, I'd only forgotten to plug the connectors in, now, no cels performance has jumped up a bit (Carl had worked some magic last Sunday with the beginnings of a map, but I hadn't felt the full benifit until now, what a difference, would recommend an rrp map)
