I really want this. Just need to sell both my RX8\'s

Good luck.

Will you be posting the session packs out? or do i have to collect on the day?

Cheers.

Thanks for the PM Casey.

I already have a stand pass and tickets from another club. Uk Starlet club. Not quite a Mazda club lol. Been going to events like these with them for a few years. so im good.

I did also mention this on the first page.

Any ideas on the times yet buddy?

Whats happening with the track time, i\'ve bought some via the club but iv\'e bought tickets and have a club pass with another club. Will the rack time be posted to me or will i have to pick it up from somewhere in the morning.

found the cause of the leak. there is a 2" gash at the bottom of the radiator. Going to order a new one and see how see goes.

Thanks for the comments. She overheated and started leaking coolant every where. She\'ll only start stone cold so i\'m guessing low compression. i can\'t describe it. it\'s like a head gasket has gone if it had one. so engine rebuild or new engine.

Started stripping her down over these last couple of days to see whats wrong with her so i can decide on rebuild or new engine.

Gutted.

thanks guys. shames she\'s broken

thanks for that link.

More bad news. cut a long story short. the is coolant in the oil so it needs a rebuild. FML it tucked away ready for the engine to be taken out.

are there any obvious signs of a leak mate .
best thing fill it up do a visual check to see if anythings leaking and go from there
 
did you notice any difference in power before the temp shot up
did you turn it off as soon as poss
if a seals gone as did on a friends we filled the water up started it up and the compression from the engine chucked the coolant back out the re fill neck
some bits to try later today i guess failing that off to a specialist for a compression test

Yes i did but its was 8.5k the power just droped off. the temp gauge was fine.
carried on . looks down at the temp gauge 10 seconds later and it was in the read. i turned it off asap the fans carried on going for a minute.

There is coolant all the engine bay. and all up the rear bumper. Also turns of that there was coolant on my drive when i left.

I\'m going to look at it now. see what the damage is but i know i\'m looking at a possible engine rebuild

Help. My rx8 has just overheated. It was fine one minute then the temp was in the red. There is no coolant in the tank and no pressure when I took of the cap. The car will not start either. So I\'m stranded. Over 10 miles from home. I\'m wait for the recovery people to pick me up.

What\'s wrong with my car? Is the engine :censored::censored::censored::censored:ed or is it a coolant related. Or waterpump ect.


Thanks.

Road and tack. but its going to get alot of punishment around track and on the road.

ohh. thanks for that. what pads would you suggest?
