Hi Guys,
Recently popped into Lucra Automotive, a specialist RX8 scrapper
Although tragically he's scrapped over a thousand RX8s in 2019, on the plus side he has ready access to many used spares.
I got a perfectly good set of used types of him for £15 a wheel plus misc studs. He also had loads of tyres going free that are only good for drifting.
He doesn't have an perfectly matching pairs of tyres that are fit for the road at the mo, but does a variety of perfectly good individual RX8 tyres that might be what you're after.
And on top of that he's a really nice guy.
Lucra Automotive, Cavendish Bridge, Industrial estate, Shardlow, Derby DE72 2HL, but if you use Google maps to navigate he's actually on the North side of the main road next to Auto-Line MOT Centre.
He's contactable on FB and on 01332 799303.
If anyone is after anything and is further away than 15mins, I'm happy to pop in if it's easier for us to meet at either a Midlands Meetup, Japfest or the Welsh road trip.
Hope this is useful.
Cheers,
Will.

Blimey, assuming he is open 6 days a week 50 weeks of the year then that’s at c3 average per day! No wonder he has a lot of parts for RX8s

Re: Used Parts/Tyres for your RX8 - Lucra Automotive shout out.
i paid a visit a while back and his yard was full of 8s and he said there were more round the back...as a matter of interest at the other end of the road is an mx5 specialist yard....no connection,just a coincidence,i went there by mistake when looking for lucra.

He reckoned he exported loads to the continent and as well as UK specialists.
