Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Properly thrashed it for 45 minutes. Been a while since I've really just taken it for a proper drive. A DSC tripping, beep every few minutes, 1st gear round an empty A road roundabout drive.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Finally happy with fitment of puddle lights.
Was going to add pic but apparently board attachment quota has been reached
PS now that the rest of the interior lights look very yellow anyone know what the best led replacements are?

They were far harder to fit than they should have been.

Got the Pilot Sport 4s fitted, took it for a spirited drive home to scrub them in. It's like a different car after the mismatched Chinese tyres.

Connect the ECU to your laptop
Open Eugene and it will load the ECU map into the software and you need to make a copy, just in case!
"Upgrade Available" shoukd be flashing so run that and it will download the latest firmware which will then move into the ECU firmware update process.
Once that's done you should see 1062 as the last entry in the firmware list
In the traction control section there shoukd now be a drop down list from which you select the EU option.

If you do go down the wrap route can you please report back on which company you used and the sort of quotes you were given because I have been toying with the idea and would like to know the rough costing for it to be done.Alexpb2401 wrote: Do I use it as an opportunity to get a wrap though....

Is it just paint damage ? Sometimes they can push into the panel and cause a decent dent too
