I've been pretty keen on rotaries for a good while and so I finally bit the bullet and bought an 8!
I've got a 2008 R3, so a very early series 2. It's got ~80k on the clock and whilst there's a few little bits on the body that need attention, there's nothing fatal and no...
New member here — just getting my head around how the forum / club works. I think I’ve messaged the right people for club member access, so hopefully that’ll come through soon.
Last month I picked up a 2008 RX-8 with 65k miles from a rotary specialist in the South East. Compression...
I'm about to pick up my new-to-me 2007 kuro this weekend. I'm not sure which number it is, but will update the post when I know as I'm sure someone on here will keep some sort of registry.
Rotary engines have always fascinated me and being in my 30's...
Hi all, I am trying find a pre march ~ish 2006 (for the cheaper road tax) 231 model. I live in the south west and unfortunately there don't seem to be many for sale within 100 miles. I don't care what colour it is or even if the paint is in bad shape, it will be parked under a tree anyway. The only...
Car was listed for £4500, the seller had bought it two weeks ago and simply didn't like it.
Price went down to £3000, then £2500, so I went to look. All seemed good, minimal rust, great history (until the last ~15k where the owner before the seller serviced it themself...
Hello!
I hope I can post this as a guest, I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise.
I currently own an '05 Celica and an '03 Octavia. Having just bought a house (which importantly has a driveway and garage) I feel like I'm in a good position to be irresponsible and finally get an RX8 after...
I’ve got an RX-8 231. I actually joined a few months ago and have been reading through the posts — everything looks solid so far. It’s sitting at 33,200 miles now. Hoping for a trouble-free experience and some easy solutions along the wa
I just picked up and drove my new to me 2009 r3 last night back home. Didn't skip a beat which is nice, started cold and hot no problems.
Now there's a number of things that need to be fixed on this particular r3, mostly cosmetic, but i do have a strong oil like smell comiing into the cabin while...
I’m not really new here, but thought since this is a little introduction about me, I’d pop it here!
For those of you who may not have seen, I have recently been elected chairman, taking over from DrewR3, and I said I’d do an introduction post, so here we are!
Got an rx8 a few weeks back (192 -08 52k), made a bit of a classic error and didnt check all of the dash lights on test drive.
Anyway, I've got a few issues, my most worrying is that when I turn the headlight and full beams on, although they work on the car itself, I don't get any lights...
After owning my R3 for around 4 months now, I've found it's a fantastic car but rather difficult to get the correct information about replacement parts.
I daily drive my R3 and now the radiator is burst...
In my search for good after market options. I have found a lot of conflicting...
So I’ve got a small issue with my RX8, so to cut the long story short I purchased this car for £500 the engine was taken apart after he apparently drove from Saltash (Cornwall) to Plymouth and something went pop or bang. Me not knowing anything about car mechanics purchased it and...
Hey guys, back again, this time with a phantom blue RX8 I've had since Oct 2023, was previously my bro's who had a Mazdaspeed kit on, there was two of these cars, one Dan built (Which is now mine) and the one Lee built (Credit to you lad, looks a beast).
Hi everybody, I just got an rx8 and thought I’d say hi.
I`m In the UK, I got a 2007 231 rx8, and I love it, it’s so much fun.
I’ve got a few issues I need to work through, it’s been de-catted and has a sports exhaust which sounds cool (but a bit loud) it pops and bangs a fair bit when you come...
Just purchased a 2007 192 nemisis RX8 i figured it wasnt a bad deal considering it only had 43k miles and due to some aesthetic damage to the bodywork was able to get it for a decent price. Went into it with the expectation of a rebuild in the next year or so as the car hadnt been compression...
Hi, I’ve just joined. I've owned a 2004 S1 231bhp 6 port Manual since 2019 though that now has 88k miles. Due to hot starting issues etc I have just fitted a 50000 engine into it and fitted a Sohn adopter so that it is running on 2 stroke. I did my first TrackDay this August in it and it went well...
Hi all
Proud new owner of a PZ, bought in June.
Actually my second, owned a PZ as a daily driver before from 2006-2010 but a big bill and house move meant I had to sell. Always had a hankering for another rotary and now in the fortunate position that I can run it as a second car and weekend toy....
Hi, looking at a 2008 rx8 to buy (kuro) which has recently had a new engine and has good compression. just wondered whether the series 1 was worth buying over a series 2 with questionable engine wear. Thanks 😄
Hi all,
Just wanted to post here as I’ve recently bought my second RX8.
10 years ago, I had my first RX8, I knew nothing about them at the time and only had it for a few months as I didn’t appreciate the unique requirements of the car. As much as I loved the car, it was better to let someone else...
Hi everyone, I've been following rotaries for a while and I think I'm ready to take the plunge. I'm leaning towards an R3, mainly for the styling, supposed reliability improvements and (hopefully) being newer they should have less rust. My budget is around £6,000 for the car though I could stretch...
Just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I’m based near Tewkesbury and have recently picked up a 2007 RX‑8 Kuro Edition (#359 of 500) as a project car.
I couldn’t afford one of these when they were new, but now that I’m older (and thankfully a bit better off), I’ve...
I’m working on a project that involves both postal codes from around the world and their corresponding GPS coordinates, and I’m starting to realize how tricky this can get when trying to cover more than just one country. The formats vary so much, and in some regions, a single postal...
I’m new here, looking for some identification on where my RX8 was manufactured as it doesn’t have the door sills 0/400 but I believe it’s pearlescent white and manufactured in the UK. VIN number is: JMZSE17680149650
Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
While I am new here, some of you of may recognise the car/cars I'm planning on posting...
I'm the workshop manager at MacG Racing I'm Derby,

Hi,
Just bought a PZ and loving it so far…
It’s galaxy grey, VIN JMZSE173600141278
How do I find out its edition number pls?
I was trying Mazda UK, but web form seems to be down…
Cheers
Hey everyone I’m a new member! Super excited to join my first ever owners club. I’ve recently purchased a 54 plate, 192 automatic in winning blue. She’s beautiful! I have a plan to make some decent upgrades over the next few years so I look forward to seeing her transformation.
Hello,
Apologies if this is the wrong place to be asking this.
My son started an RX8 engine rebuild a few years ago but never completed the project. He bought a compression tester (photo attached) to test the rebuilt engine, but never got a chance to use it. It has just been sitting in the shed...
Hi all,
I have 2 RX8s (along with 4 other cars :) ). I am going to strip the ending out of one in the next few weeks for a rebuild.
I have been watching a few YouTube videos on gapping the seals and they use a piece of an old rotor and a grinder in a piller drill to grind them.
Does anybody have a...
Hello,
I’m Chris, 40 going on 18 and totally new to the rotary world after enjoying from afar, i wont show you what ive bought yet as that would ruin the surprise! Amusingly Adrian Flux did question whether id owned anything this powerful before, i guess a 1.8 MX5 and a 318i (edited cos im a...
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 2006 RX8 and I love it. As a first car couldn't ask for anything else.
For now I have done the recalls needed and will most likely do a service on it once I have some free time.
Would be grateful to receive some advice and I am also looking to change the...
Hi all, I'm Baldchap and I thought I'd better say hello before I start doing 'stuff' in anger to my new RX-8.
I've always wanted one ever since seeing the PZ at the (2006?) motor show at the Excel, but finances and life got in the way at the time. Since becoming an old fart with a few more means...
I'm a new member here. I'm from Portugal.
I fell in love for the RX-8 almost since the beggining. Recently I got the opportunity to buy a RX8 40th anniversary, with 42000 miles.
My car has some minor issues with the 3rd and 4th speeds.
I hope I can learn a lot here.
Hi everyone
I have had an interest in RX8's for some years and now have the time and opportunity to dive in!
Still researching the various models etc but do rather like PZ's especially in black.
Anyway I'll have a good read and go from there.
Hi, I have recently purchased a 56 plate rx-8. After having it for around 2 weeks then clutch randomly went suddenly without any previous indication of wear (no smells of burning). When I had the clutch changed the friction plate looked like it had snapped. Anyways I had the clutch replaced, and...
I've just purchased by first RX8 - 2005 in the fastest colour red! I have found since its been sitting on my drive there is an oil leak coming from somewhere from the front of the block.
When it arrived it was overfilled with oil, I have cleared...
I bought a 2007 Nemesis just over 2 years ago as a weekend car. After enjoying it for all that time entirely trouble free it sadly developed a worrying knocking noise. After meeting with Aston at Essex Rotary it's now awaiting the arrival of new engine mounts in...
Hello, I just joined up.
Has anyone seen this convertible prototype in the flesh ?
I saw it in Osaka in July 2023 at the Mazda dealership, unfortunately, the dealership was closed that day ,and as I was flying home the next day, so I only saw it through the window. IMG_20230728_193909.jpg
