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

[ChrisHolmes]

Remember Haydn we are dealing with cars where the youngest is c12 years old therefore the RX8 management systems are prehistoric compared to the sophisticated systems these days.

Fitted Tein Monosports and EDFC Active Pro this weekend. That rear was a real mission!
Still haven't connected the controller's and drivers.
I'll get those done this week during lunch breaks

Please tell me you fitted the servo motors to the shocks before you fitted them to the car of not you will have to remove the shocks again to fit the motors!!!!!!

Yesterday i mended mine, (after a brief incident where i proceeded to leave an 1/8th of a tank in the car drive...) and now she runs sweet true.

Now to arrange an MOT...

HAHA! Yeah I fitted them first! I almost didn't and realised what would happen!

Been to Boston Rotary today for a racing beat exhaust (used), racing beat oil line (fairly used) and a steering gaitor (oem new but not the one I brought). Fitted the led side repeater and sidelight bulbs. By taking the ECU cover off to get access to the offside sidelight Pete said the engine has been out at some point in its life. Had assumed it was original, 49k done allbeit 18 years old. No paperwork to show when or where the engine was overhauled. Oh well.

It might just gave been that the PCM (ECU) security bolts have been drilled out, as is common practise when the engine is removed/rebuilt but was also necessary to perform a remap/mini-map with some apps that required input of the code stuck on the underside of the unit.

My PCM security bolts have been drilled-out, for a mini-map, but the engine has never been removed.

[RichT_Derby]

Oh ok. One of the fastenings had a zip tie round so it looked a bit amateur....

Well today I fitted the cooling fan control kit from RX8Performance. Noticeable difference in engine temp, even when ‘spirited’ driving.

I did ‘think’ i noticed that the drivers footwell seemed hotter than normal - certainly I think it also felt hotter. All the readings for cat temp etc were normal, so not sure when going on there.
I wonder if its because the engine fans are now both on full when the temp gets to the 80s and its the hot air being blown back ??

Thought I'd pull my finger out, and try and get the car how i want it for castle combe.
Got a bit out of hand!

Wowsers that's empty I think i'm in a similar boat to you

Once you start taking it apart and faffing, you just can't stop! It keeps going!

Mine looked like that after I topped up the oil

Thankfully to Paul my rx8 made a sound of life It comes out that I've had a coils to replace, so I also replaced my ignition leads and spark plugs. After about 11 times of deflooding procedure it makes a sweet sound of BRAP

All thanks to Paul and his magic hands hah.
