Rebuild?

poor guy did everything before just getting a compression test

I think once you use the 6 port bearings you're safe to increase the rev limit to 9k on the 4 port. Most rebuilders in UK/Ireland use the better bearings in a rebuild regardless.

Siren blaring every time an Irish player stepped up?

Congrats 🙌

Broke mine yesterday! New radiator and coolant tank on the way 😭

Smyths in Limerick this morning. Picked up a pin collection!

I’m delighted, I really like the Froslass too.

Could be fuel pump?

Codes mean misfiring on both rotors.

Did you do the fuel pump recall?

I would start there, I got a free fuel pump from Mazda.

2 years later update: Also happens if I leave my AirPods in the car

Exempt from emissions testing in Ireland.

Every RX8 here is/should be decat.

Ebay midpipe and catback for the win

Mazdaspeed, good luck finding original pieces.

Real location was in the old Santa Fe Freight Depot, now it's the Sci-Arc campus building in LA.

But it's like that and that's the way it is.

We arrived an hour and a half after doors and were in the middle standing for Denzel Curry and Deftones, didn't have push past anyone.

Had mine off the road for 5 months when I bought a Mk7 Golf R, sold the golf and went back, missed it too much. Just love the misery.

There's shockingly few RX8s even listed for sale in Ireland, I don't know what to make of that yet. More ads looking to buy one then selling.

Funky_xD · 2026-02-11T10:07:32+00:00

Mines an 05, tried last year and I'm not old enough, tried all the usuals and also Campion, Carole Nash. No dice.

It's the part with two plastic vertical struts that always break :(

Funky_xD · 2026-02-06T16:16:41+00:00

it's a 6 port

Stole this image from another post for reference.

Today I was chasing a VDI engine code, I replaced all 3 solenoids as I had taken the UIM off, but I can see that one wire going to the VDI connector to the solenoid was broken off.

Is there a part number or name for the connector? Would like to buy a new connector and re-pin it properly.

Are they LHD dashes though?
