RX-8's / Re: Oversized side seals, good or bad?
« on: March 20, 2018, 06:49:03 PM »
We supply many company's deliberately non Europe with longer side seals so the builder can grind the ends to get the best fit for each groove.
With the grooves cleaned and lightly oiled you should just feel the side seal move to and fro under your fingers without measuring, this is how the Mazda engine builders put them together in Japan by feel
Only available out from Japan or America via Japan, most term these longer seals as "Mazdaspeed side seals"
For the ends, just replicate the side seal ends you take out.
Here is a link that may help your re-build

Hope this helps

Rotary and General Chit-Chat / Re: Clive's 400 BHP Super GT RX-8 Race Car
« on: November 02, 2017, 08:57:28 PM »
Spoke with Jon this morning and checked a couple of things out,
Not actually driven the car but no codes showing in the ECU, also checked the battery as I had a different battery.
Still showing 12.6 volts. Balanced charged correctly with a 13.88 end voltage so it looks like no spike from this.
Still looks like it was something screwed in the ABS system from when I had the rear sensors disconnected

General Queries / Hints and Tips on purchasing a rotary / Looking to buy an rx8 231 what do I look for?

Hi Marcus,
Coils are very easy to change and we send out a simple step by step guide to help.
Beware of fake coils as many on the market are sold as genuine and are not leading to many customers then arriving at our doorstep after finding the car still won\'t run properly !
Here\'s a link should you wish to buy.

General Technical / Surf City Garage - Beyond Clay Paint Polish
« on: April 25, 2014, 06:40:54 PM »
Hi Daniel
Why not take a look at the Surf City Garage Beyond Clay paint polish that we sell via
http://www.shyauto.com/bbeyond-clay-paint-polishb-1581-p.asp
Before you get that new paint job costing thousands of pounds, restore your faded paint with Beyond Clay.
This revolutionary polish does everything a clay bar does and beyond! Plus it\'s 100% safe for all surfaces, even clear coats.
Don’t waste money on clay bars. You don’t need them when you use Beyond Clay. Beyond Clay is a paint polish that does not contain harsh physical abrasives like many polishes out there.
Worth taking a look at the video link and the review.

We can supply a rebuild kit at £24
Could you tell us if the flange that meets the bulkhead is at a 45 degree angle or 180 degrees to the reservoir as we have supplied these before and they have come up wrong

1st generation RX-7's / hi how hard is it to fit a T2 engine into my S3 ??
« on: October 18, 2013, 10:09:28 PM »
Racing Beat have just told me that if you use an early 13B sump with the 12A front cover it will let the TII bolt straight in by using the RB mounting brace.
