Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

Quote from: kiwimazda;806886You say your 7 is to old. Is that for certain championship rules or is it just getting on a bit

Cheers

Yes if my LTP happens, have not got the money for the RX7 to become competitive enough for special GT class, so was thinking class D mobile windscreen.....maybe 2014.

Anyway after a 9 hour round trip my new RX8 is parked on the drive having a nice chat with my RX7....

Its a 2003 231 in Titanium. Full black leather.

Its covered 84k but has had a Hurley Rebuild 2k ago :Talking1

TAX til end of MAY 2012!

Mot has just ran out but only 3k since last mot! and 1 advisory.

Got 2 CEL flashing. P0300 misfire ...has new coils and new magnecore leads and plugs according to previous owner . and heater open circuit Bank 1 sensor 1.

.......but it drives spot ON  revs all the way to 9k and everything works.......!:burnout and i only paid £2150.00 !!!!!!!!!:D:cool:D:Giggle

( i also got a rebuild receipt for over £2.5k back in 07 2011):rollin:rollin:Giggle

My Plan 2014 Castle Combe mobile windscreen Class D Race series.

Got to get 12 months mot on her and replace the o2 sensor.....and sort the p0300...i can see new leads but unsure on the coils , maybe cat but my mate is very clever so will have some help and i can always ask on here!

Anyways it drives lovely and i cruised down the M6 with zztop Eliminator blaring out the fantastic stereo ( booked in for MOT tomorrow:rolleyes:) and WHAT A BARGAIN ! :3gears-lh:3gears-lh:3gears-rh:burnout
Cant wait to get it on track and see whats what! :guinness time for a cold 1 long day!

I\'d be tempted to check/replace the eccentric shaft position sensor.  A mate brought his over to mine with a P0300 code and it died two miles from my house, we resorted to the RAC and the guy spotted the ESPS wasn\'t giving a signal.  Still waiting to see if it\'s fixed yet.

Thanks Will for the heads up! ..... I\'d read that somewhere myself. there is a few codes in there I\'m off out for a levels check and code read in a mo...... It got me home 180 miles so more than happy. First job is the 02 sensor replacement only the heater circuit so an easy 1... clear codes and away again but this also may cause the misfire detect.

The previous owner had the light on before the rebuild and i suspect he thought new coils lead and sparks would cure it.....I\'ll be honest i can\'t feel any misfire....anyways even if i have to spend £500 to sort it it\'s still a bargain.

Gonna be hard stripping the inside out its so beautiful in there.

Is there a decent Specialist RX8 breaker out there ?

So much more comfortable than the vx220 ! I can move today!

A video from my in car camera at last year\'s Japfest. My car is less modded than Will66\'s, but I have Tein Monoflex, RB disks all round, RB front calipers, RB strutbrace, RB catback, and Federal 595RS tyres. My in car camera showed laptimes of 1:32-1.34. Hoping for slightly better this year with RB anti-rollbars and widened track (20mm spacers all round).

Are you planning to track the 8 in the session you\'ve booked at this year\'s Japfest?

It is indeed. I let him past to see if I could at least keep him in sight. As you can see, I couldn\'t! I was lapping 1m32s if track clear, Clive was lapping ~1m25 or better:Thumbs-up

My plan is to take the 7 on track at Japfest this year and the 8 will be a back up...I have 3 others sessions booked that I was planning to take my trusty old Colt GTI round but maybe the 8 if all goes well!
 I am up at coombe on the 29 Jan as there is a open day for Interested/ potential racers and Class D is a new class that came in 2011 for stock cars with tight rules limited what you can do, last year Integra type R\'s where choice but take up was limited and your up against 6k engine builds and the like in class b an c ! .....It\'s all about budget .....but i am determined to do it even if i come last and the only 1 in my class....I did think about a clio sport and i had a Integra for a bit but drawn to the 8 !  
Ive promised the Wife we will move house first and that is this summer finger crossed !
got to have a pipe dream.....
