First one was a remote controlled car that they were going to put in a blender!
And then they were testing cameras at a drift event at Santa Pod!
Drift car is Essex Rotary's. Aston is your man there for servicing your RX8. Top place!
I had my alloys fully stripped and painted c18 months ago and the corrosion is bubbling up again. Apparently it's to do with the way alloy seems to keep some of the corrosion stuff in the surface and you can never truly remove it all. I told the block that was rubbish and then got the gravel may have chipped the back edge of the spoke and let moisture in! Either way it's a no claim situation but as I have kerbed them a couple if times anyway it's a bit academic!

Did they refurb the whole rim or just the outside?
They didn't do the inside part [that's 'around' the hub I suppose you might say] just what you normally notice. But it''s the bit they did do that I'm disappointed about.
They're Evora from Brake Depot, and as was mentioned earlier by Dan, bought for the look of it more than anything else and they're fairly reasonably priced, well I think so.

Over the weekend changed the rear brake discs (Pagid brand) and pads (Brembo). Also changed the rear coil springs (Sachs brand) as the offside rear had broken! The coils were awkward to say the least but a spring compressor helped in situ. At least it's done
GReddy magnetic drain plug
Shell Helix HX7 10W-40 engine oil
Castrol Power 1 Racing 2T premix
NGK Laser Iridium plugs, Magnecor blue 8mm Electrosports leads, Mazda N3H1-18-100C coils
Meyle front left and right anti roll bar drop link rods
Mazda FL22 long life engine coolant
Rear Pagid brake rotors and Brembo pads
Rear Sachs suspension coils
ABS and traction control we stuck on this morning. Tried the reset procedure, nope... Didn't work.
Drove to work like a nanny. Asked a mate to tell if my brake lights were working... Nope neither were.
Drove home after work, changed the offside light, tested and yay. I'm happy

Hi and gareth_1912. Silver definitely looks better with darker wheels. Next thing you need is protective grilles for the oil coolers and radiator etc if you don't already have them (Lockwood's, Racing Beat or Zunsport do them and club members get a discount from all 3) and strakes.

No, not really. When I hit a pheasant - not that fast - it broke the bit that holds the fog light, so no.
It's like that is it?
