Your one is for 2008 and newer. Ive gone in via the 2nd hand route, as it should be as your not buying new. But go by what ive shown you and keep in with the earlier date you'll be bob on. What are you looking for in the 8?

Oi....... what is it pick on Bob night ??
Saloony
16-10-09, 11:22 PM
lol yeah. But i speaks the truth. I mean, you say its a great design, so what tit designed it with the headlights (early ones) in the bonnet so that when you test the aims/patterns if adjustment is needed you put the bonnet up and now they points at that 747... good one lol
the old man has a cooper S with cosmetic works bits and the chilli pack to get the lsd...... talk about a dull drive!!!! and to ge tthe diff to do anything I needed to put it on full lock and absolutely hammer it lol.

16-10-09, 11:32 PM
So moving on.....Some good points on the RX 8 then please ?
Also what should i be looking for ?
it's only done 34k on a 04 and is fully loaded so what's a fair price ?
good points are steel con rods are cheap

Everything is good. What lets it down, fuel and oil. Oil usage, isnt all bad, well mine anyway, 1/2- 3/4 ltr every 1000miles, respectable and not much different from any new car really. Service history is high importance, and what oil has been used 5/30 part synthetic or mineral, if owner doesnt know and hasnt had mazda stamps, walk away. Rust spots on rear arches and sills were doors meet.
Money wise, mines a 54 with 31k on it, looking at 8500-9000 for that now, car values have increased over this last year.
I improved fuel comp on mine with custom exhaust and a full AEM cold induction system. Plus lumped on chrome rims.

Cheers for that, cant beleive the oil...... whats it like on fuel ? worse than 250 miles to £45 which the mini tank does?
This has FMSH and is £8500 but he'll take the mini plus £1000 (no more comments please:) )

Yeah i would say so. £55, good run can see you touch 320miles at a push. Same again towning you cold touch 200miles. And spirited driving which it makes you do every ******* time you drive the bloody thing 150miles lol. Also coil packs fail, which in turn cocks the cat. What tyres has it got on it? They play a big part on the Rex. Sure you dont wanna buy mine ;)
Yeah, the rear arch liners are fibre so hold water, and the sills were the doors meet is down to impact.

PHAIL
Its CAN, not canbus :wall: :p
and it reduces loom complexity as you only need to 3-4 wires to stuff (power, ground, can h and can l)
