once again thanks for the warm welcome, im going to do a oil change this weekend is there any set way to doing it? i know on my 200 after filling people remove the fuel pump fuse to prime it... and my rx7 has the twin oil coolers so is it best to prime it first? how much of a newbie question is that lol! just dont wanna kill it lol

will get some pics up soon as i have some light covers on it as it looks a bit ghetto atm lol!

I\'ve never primed mine mate....... the joy with the rex is there is always oil in the cooler lines etc, so by the time this gets circilated the fresh oil is behind it following it around the system

Just change it as normal mate, No need to remove fuses etc.
 
 
Oh yeah filling the filter with oil is fun as most of it spills out when you put it on, due to its position, Major easy access though.

I use BP Ultimate when I can\'t find a Shell garage, it\'s the same octane rating, just a bit more expensive. No ill effects yet!

BP ultimate is 97 ron (with 102 ron available in a handful of places)

Shell V-Power is 99 ron
http://www.shell.com/home/content/gbr/products_services/on_the_road/fuels/v_power_pkg/overview.html

V-Power is the superior fuel and if your car is mapped for 99ron then I\'d only use ultimate in (non boosting!) emergencys. IMO its not worth the risk.


Also is that you Chris? (MaLiCe?) If so I\'ll give you a call in a couple of weeks when I\'m back for xmas, have a little FD meet

Ah sweet, I drive past there on my way back from Uni @ Coventry (Warwick - Stow - Cirencester - Stroud).

I\'m sure the rex will help heal your sx wounds

Christmas was/is actually a member on here under the same name, posted a while ago when he was looking for a rex. (he got a tidy black one in the end)

Hello and welcome mate, enjoy. Just take it slow at first and get used to her. A lot of people crash after only a few weeks of ownership as the back end lets go because they give it too much beans. Anyway Hi.:Santa

did the oil change went fine exhaust is blowing a bit need to get some new gaskets

replaced the drivers side interior door handle and plastic that was snapped and painted that, the radio surround, gear surround and dial surround, fixed the dash dome that was cracked and painted that matt black but managed to snap it again on re assembly! seems like mazda made the plastics out of the weakest plastics they could find lol!

got my head light covers being sent to me on monday so will get them painted then and also got a replacement drivers wing aswell then just need to get a little dent on the rear arch (was a bike handle the previous owner said) body shop said it will be easy to sort and she will be pretty much mint on the outside and in then time to start saving for power fc and other toys im in love with it, compared to my 200 which sadly went today its completely different to drive!

cant wait to drive it every time i get out of it lol!

this is a great club and will be getting membership paid up tomorrow night or monday thanks alot guys!
