Hello peep\'s some of the older members may remeber from about 4 years ago as I owned a RX7 for about 5 years. Anyway the wife has decided she wants an RX8 and i need some advice really as I know NOTHING about them.
Do they rebuilding like the RX7 do after a while and is there anything in particular to look out for, also 60k+ mileage a no no?
Cheers in advance;)

Only 1 on E bay atm. Was hoping to get a slightly cheaper one than an ERL as it\'s goin on the Supercharged Vr6:2Confused  Not the fd believ it or not.Jay

Where from??
Cheers Jay

Thats what i was thinkin of doin. Sprayin a Carbon bonnet but leavin the vents.

very nice. suprised you havent got a cf bonnet with the amount of cf on there

Must say I have been thinkin about it but still unsure???

Opinions?

Well I dont recognise it at all! good work, like the single turbo

It has certainly changed. I had thought about sellin but not for the prices they are goin for now.
 I remember when i got this off you there were hardly any on the road.

Ta mate  You could always invest in their new kit...
It\'s looking really good, you have great taste!
How much vibration do you get with the solid bushes?  I have the solid engine and diff mounts, below 3k I feel the vibrations, but it disappears after that.

Do get quite alot of Vibrations but it does handle superbly, feels very stable.

Well I have not been around a great deal this year. With the birth of my little boy to keep me occupied.
 Took a year off from the show scene as i have been concentrating on my show winning VW mk2 golf. It has been great fun goin back to my roots as regards cars(plus normal prices for parts). But after gettin my rebuild done it is good to be back.
As many of you will know i have owned this car for over 4 years and spent a small fortune on it. I\'m lucky to have a good friend who can get me any part from japan at a very reasonable price(which helps). I have tried to keep it subtle and make it lok like it would not be out of place on the Wangan.
 I have a fetish for anything from FEED and Carbon it is gettin out of hand but I\'m resisting the kit so as not to upset Chris;)
