Believe me Jon, I have been thinking that many times.

But there is no big market for RX-8's here. Slightly modified FDs would sell though. Or I think they would.

But here is big market for used parts. That I am planning to do in future. And new parts too..

Having fun in rain? I want too

Yep.....think i sussed non start dodgy gearbox nuetral.....this is way harder to work on that the westy....flushed rad and block and sorted leak. E shaft sensor change as filthy. Stripping off blackout headlights nows.

Well chased my tail on the GB neutral switch in the end got the neighbour to crank and i got underneath after checking 12v at fuse box....dodgy solenoid crimp....cut off and new crimp seems ok now.

Sorted the rad leak and flushed and drained block of loads of sludge.

got an oil cooler weep on the after market coolers.....bumper off next to sort and go back to standard air box and remove light to clean off film.

still cant believe it starts hot....

Well i dont know what im doing with it. I only bought it as i was in the right place at the right time. It obviously was a no brainer and i want to do some tinkering with it to try and save it. Hoping for a few winter trackdays init but im waiting on dates for 2 ops 1 that puts me out of action for 8 weeks....not sure when ill find out on 9th of Nov.
But if when what ill give you first dibs onit 1 once i know its ok and 2 once ive decided what im doing in the big picture as car would be a good place to run in an engine as opposed to Westory. All id want is original outlay plus cost of service items so new oil n sparks from Clive. Just gotta remember at this mileage no guarantee it will get you home.......
