MX-5 NC with RX-8 231 Engine

Not convinced with these HT leads from euro car parts. Felt loose on one of the plugs. I've put cable conduit over the leads where they were touching other parts.

Think I'll be ordering others

Surprising how fast this car is.
Hyundai i30 N 68 plate (270hp) didn't have a chance off the lights.
He was that embarrassed he wouldn't pull up next to me, instead he pulled off the ring road behind a police car. Made my evening!

Lol...strange that rx8s dyno lower than quoted figures but they go up the road pretty well. Had a few scalps myself with Rx8s over the years especially involving bends.

It does go pretty well.

Still going easy with it to be honest. Had a pretty serious crash when I was 18 and stupid. 115mph into 10 trees one after another. Very lucky to be alive.
Won't be doing that again.
Can find the photo of the front of the car, that was a sight to see. I ripped the engine clean out and cracked the inlet manifold in 2.

I sent my pcm off to a guy on the rx8 forum. He did the basics like turning off 10 engine codes i only sent away as i wanted a 1100 rpm idle as at 850rpm i was getting 10psi oil pressure when oil hot...bit scary lol...so with 1100 rpm it does not get lower than 22psi and pretty good anti stall. Plus an unexpected bonus it cools down quicker idling.

I think some guys lean off for power increase but i wouldnt recommend that..
Then theres oil injection rate but i have no knowledge how to do that.

I'll probably raise idle based on that. Cheers.
