got on with few jobs today as had a spare day coils n leads and rear lights were first on the list, closely followed by coolant and oil top ups. cleaned interior and waiting on service parts on Monday. but only tidied up the outside in places.

comfy as fook too. the drive position is just perfect for me. saxo was nice with the buckets I had but to sit it this a drive for a few hours is just like the comfy chair at home

One of my friends had one, and it was really nice to be in, the sound they make is cool too!

need a new backbox to make the sounds even better. but I cant say ive ever enjoyed a car more to drive.
touch wood I think its a good example, that won't let me down.

had new coils n leads fitted today and what a difference they make. starts amazingly fast. next is performance air filter, pollen filer and hopefully backbox

marcusd · 20th November 2014, 17:12

today all my stuff arrived, so first off was pain in arse k&n air filter. then came pollen filter and new lid as snapped other one.
removed rear exhaust shrouds for a quick spray as they were grey

then back on car

needs new exhaust as old one is rusty as hell

then tinted new rear lights and sorted the condensation out

also got hold of a new flip key and programmed it to car and it works, so now need blade cutting and that's sorted.

managed to get hold of a flip key, and needed it programming to car for remote and coding, then new blade, ordered blade and waited.
while I waited programmed remote to car, blade turned up so got it cut, came home and programmed code to use key. bang one flip key.

cracked on today, first with nitro fill on tires, k&n panel filter, and adding the minor bit to the car.

new number plate, smoked rears

smoked side repeaters

another half productive day, managed to get front number plate off ready for relocating, tomorrow. then started to clean her a lil then thought I'd try polish my exhaust up......bad idea polished a whole 2cm square then it went very loose, and fell off. backbox has rusted to fook. this now gives me the chance to buy a new stainless box.

also ordered a second set calipers all round to paint and refurb, as well as braided lines, new discs n pads all round. love my car but bank balance doesn't love me!!

relocating the plate so it's more JDM as fuck

marcusd · 14th December 2014, 15:14

plate relocated. was quite happy with this until took a trip to Halfords for some bit and someone decided to drive into my rear and mangled the rear arch and door

I am interested in the car, which is why I want to see the damage.

I'm totally like "OH LOOK, damage and there's an rx8 attached to it!"
I think not.

marcusd · 15th December 2014, 17:32

bit pissed but damage aint as bad as first thought but still don't look good

and another angle on the front plate

Prickle^p · 15th December 2014, 17:36

Not too bad... it could be worse.
