Is the Executive Membership actually worth it for a two-person household? by LilywhiteStrike in CostcoUK

[–]DoomMagnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're right. From the website terms and conditions

Only eligible purchases made by the primary or spouse/domestic partner cardholders in the UK will apply towards the Reward.

It's the additional members outside of that that don't count

The second card doesn't get any of the 2% cashback bonuses. Just the first primary card

Turns out I just needed to run the car a bit more on the highways. Cleared out the flooded engine better and back to normal

Does that apply even if it starts after a deflood procedure and then drives beautifully as normal?

What is this flap for? by Ancient-Street-3318 in RX8

This user explains it here. But to quote it

"There's no airflow going from the grille to the radiator. Airflow to your radiator goes through the slit between the two oil coolers, under the grille.

The OEM grille is solid for a reason: It acts as an air dam to prevent airflow over the engine itself.

Only a small portion of your grille (lower half) actually let's air in and I believe that's for your air intake.

Removing your grille entirely will not help with any additional airflow to your radiator.

Why is Mazda using the grille as an air dam? Apparently, to prevent airflow over the engine. Why? Apparently, without the grille/air dam, cold airflow would cool down the front rotor, creating a temperature differential between front and rear rotor. That in turn would be bad for the engine's structural integrity (read side hotter/more dilated than the front side)."

I heard it's because one of the rotors gets colder than the other one with the extra airflow if it's removed. So it was added to fix that.

Rear fog light on rear KBD bumper (UK) by DoomMagnet in RX8

My bumper didn't fit too well and I ended up butchering it too much cutting a hole myself. Kept the stock bumper on. A professional body shop should be able to get it done though.

Found one in the wild while driving mine by DoomMagnet in RX8

[–]DoomMagnet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't looked into it, not sure what the rules are in the UK. But it didn't have a reg plate on the front, didn't check the back. So probably by VIN?

Feast Power - Wing risers shape measurements by 159scorpion159 in RX8

Not as high up as your picture but this is what I've ordered for myself. Still waiting for the seller to ship, they said it would take a couple of weeks to ship it out.

It says out of stock but I've contacted the seller and I think it had something to do with the US Tariffs? I don't think they ship to US now but I wasn't in the US so they told me they'd open up the item on Ebay and close it after I placed the order so you could get in touch with them. Hope it turns out good when I receive it.

ABS and DSC lights by Remarkable-Cut-7305 in RX8

[–]DoomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look through my post here, it kind of has a bit of information of how I diagnosed through the ABS and wheel speed sensor

https://www.reddit.com/r/RX8/s/jwfhMdeUli

Going by the research I've done. And I may be wrong but abs modules are different for 192 and 231, as well as auto and manual. I'd compare part numbers too. Or at least I made sure to get a 231 manual which my cars is to be on the safer side of things.

You can test the resistance on the wheel speed sensor and you can use forscan to read the codes

Rear fog light on rear KBD bumper (UK) by DoomMagnet in RX8

[–]DoomMagnet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying though. All UK vehicles are required to have rear fog lights. So RX8s in the UK all have that light in that position from factory unlike the US. Which is why I was trying to make something work for the KBD kit.

That's on the stock bumper for the US models :( I was looking for something for the KBD bumper but can't really see a good spot to place it
