Good man, she\'s fine indeed except for some rear tyres

Good to see you back in a rotary, what happened to the s2000 and the 32 GTR?

I sold the S2000 but still have the GTR has been SORN\'d for a year tho,

glad she\'s still running well buddy, I just got myself an FD so back in the rx club!

Anyone interested in a UK Mazda RX8, 2004, 192, needs an engine, £995. Belongs to a lad in the next unit to me, pics to follow.
Dave.

has it got an engine in it right now?

so i picked up this from a chap that works at Silverstone Autosport / Lindop in Queensferry.... 2000 miles on a rebuilt engine, goes like a rocket!

Totally normal, it\'s because the pump is mechanical, so when you shut off the water in the block and in the turbos boils.  The boiling action causes the water to move around so the cooling cycle continues.  It\'s nothing to worry about.  If you want proof of this, turn your engine back on for a few seconds and you\'ll see the water temp drop suddenly back to 85ish as the pump moves it around.

ah thats good to know! im just paranoid about water seal failure etc

hi guys

was driving in my 7 earlier, on the apexi fc commander it was showing water temps of between 85-90 degrees c when running and stationary.

I believe that is about right. However when i shut off the engine, went for a :censored::censored::censored::censored:, and came back to restart it - the control unit showed temps of 103 degrees c on start up, v quickly shooting down to 90-91 c.

is that ok?

Paul - can you give me a call on 07595950970 mate?
or email me simonbackhouse@me.com
I\'m really interested in this

Si

whats the MOT situation now mate?

Yes the aerial retracts fully.

Still burning? Care to elaborate?

Hi Jit.

has anything changed in the condition of the car since you put it up for sale last year?

glad to see you\'re enjoying her Ben

nah the headunit never worked Ben, mind you i never tried to get it to work...
hows the clutch feeling? reckon you\'ll get many more miles out before you get it changed?

bloody hell!

finally!!!

enjoy her, i didn\'t have her long but its a nice motor

So guys I don\'t know if for my next car I want to get a well sorted FD or an S2000...... have any of you experienced ownership of both and if so how did they compare?

i\'d love a good reliable FD but I just have this feeling that an s2000 would be as much fun and potentially a bit easier to live with day to day, but maybe not as special to drive..... what do you think?

Gimme a shout if you selling! Im on the lookout for one...

is this the one you\'re selling...? the gunmetal grey one?

Maybe.... Not sure! Only mods as best I can tell are an aftermarket exhaust and downpipe....
