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

[Legend83]

Washed, clayed, and polished to within an inch of it's life - a sore arm this morning!

All for nothing with all the crap in the air at the moment!

[CookieMonster]

Going to get a new battery later today.

Fitted new Air cups to my coilovers, now I can get over speed humps no problem. 67089716-49AF-45F1-932A-F912ECC40650.jpeg

Was thinking about buying those, have the ride somehow changed after fitting them and are only fronts enough or better go all round cups?

Fitted a Toyo header to her this morning before the sun came up and removed the secondary pump.

I see you reused the OEM gasket instead of using the provided perforated junk. Good boy/10.

It fitted perfectly.
I used the oe metal gasket rather than the one supplied
also fitted the oe sealing ring for the outlet end
And the steel gasket for the blanking plate
All joints sealed perfectly

I would say don’t buy any other make as they definitely don’t fit

Mister Dove that's much better! I couldn't look at your car all-white, just didn't seem right.

Thanks Mr Melon. It’s felt odd driving it about for a week without the wrap. I’ve removed the Matt plastidip from the rear badges with the intention of spraying them gloss black. The wife said she likes them chrome do I’ll leave it until after you’ve fitted my new rear lights.

Finished work so here are the pics, ( though I didn’t quite get my interior back together, but I patched enough in place to drive home. Amazing how much sound deadening is in the center console area. )
A couple of pics here, will update my diary with more photos.

Not a brilliant start to the week -

20180514_115250159_iOS (Large).jpg

In the overtaking lane (of course) of the A48 I spotted what I thought was a bit of polystyrene slide into my path (outside the local recycling facility). I scrubbed off some speed and tried to avoid it anyway but with dawdlers to the left and oncoming traffic to the right I couldn't squeeze enough room and glanced it with the offside front. As you can see, it was actually a piece of concrete breeze block. Some of which is now embedded in the sidewall and between the tyre bead and rim.

Fair play to the Contis, they are very meaty and soaked it up and the wheel looks like it only bent on the lip and not the bead seat - though I will have to check it on the balancer later. It kept pressure so I extracted the bits I could and limped it home.

With five days until Pembrey too, where I was looking forward to wrestling the remaining life out of these tyres

Bummer! Sympathies.

Something else needed but perhaps in gloss black
