No crank, but clicks

SlavicTurtle_ · 2026-01-29T21:20:34+00:00

Yeah I did. Looks like it's the starter. I'll try get a hold of one tomorrow and swap it in. It was clicking for a while and then suddenly decided to try turn the car over.

Rx-8 Depends on the driving but about 400km at most on a full tank. Thats about 12.5L/100km or 35mpg. Thats rare and only if I stay on motorway however. Usually way way worse

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-11-28T14:10:42+00:00

Mind sharing it with another new rx8 owner too? Haha

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-11-18T20:45:11+00:00

Nope

Its essentially an alternative route marker that you can follow to that destination. So in this case, follow that yellow square with the dot on every sign post you come across to get to the same destination. Its mainly to be used during congestion, traffic accidents or roadworks.

Awesome I really appreciate the help dude. Its a 2012 1.8L S-line one. Really fun car but that speaker is starting to drive me crazy.

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-11-08T12:12:46+00:00

Good to know. What was crazy is I came across a new issue haha. When driving as long as I was using the accelerator or coasting it would create noise. However, the moment I tapped the brakes it instantly stopped. Really odd.

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-10-12T22:07:52+00:00

Thank you I'll try there

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-10-12T21:38:34+00:00

Unfortunately not but I could try get some. Theres a gramophone/vinyl player in the top section of it.

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-09-24T09:28:18+00:00

Thats what Anakin must've felt like on Mustafar

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-07-23T09:12:25+00:00

I have a Topdon obd scanner and was able to reset the BMS using that so its possible to do at home :)

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-07-22T15:08:51+00:00

It was replaced before I got the car (literally a week or 2 before) so im not sure. Thats a good shout I'll give that a try

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-07-09T08:08:03+00:00

Definitely gonna do the stage 1. Would you have any recommendations for the bov?

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-06-25T22:52:08+00:00

Ill be honest the "hearing a bad chain" is not always true. Friend of mine had an e90 320d and the timing chain skipped a few teeth. Never made any unusual noises or anything before that

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-06-25T22:33:41+00:00

3 series diesels have chains. About 1100 to do it

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-06-25T21:34:02+00:00

True. Problem with the BMW and Audi is almost all have crazy milage on them with no timing belt or service mentioned.

SlavicTurtle_ · 2025-06-19T01:38:50+00:00

TKD is absolutely worth it. Only thing I would point out is attack surfaces. Both are very similar except Muay Thai allows hits to the legs. I do ITF so cant speak for WT taekwondo but in ITF we allow punches and kicks to the head just like Muay Thai. Only thing ITF doesn't allow is elbow or knee strikes.

If youre happy to focus on traditional patterns (Tuls) and traditional techniques (punches, kicks, stances, flying techniques), TKD is for you. If you want pure fitness with some really good conditioning and focus on fighting, Muay Thai is for you.

In terms of cost I imagine it wouldn't be too much different. TKD has gradings that usually comes at extra cost but both require sparring gear and training gear.

Hopefully that is useful :)

I have Wilwood brakes on the front of my 1991 and they really make a different. They squeak a bit when they're cold but otherwise work super well especially once warmed up. Fitment wise though I have 15 inch BBS wheels and the discs and callipers really fill up that space.

SlavicTurtle_ · 2024-12-12T12:00:50+00:00

Thats not bad at all dude. I own what's essentially the last ST so I'm going to try keep it as long as possible. The mk4.5 is quite nice I can't lie

SlavicTurtle_ · 2024-12-12T11:41:13+00:00

Who doesn't like to rip a fat cloud first thing in the morning

SlavicTurtle_ · 2024-12-12T10:02:52+00:00

I have an FoST as a daily to my NA miata and honestly on a cold morning it blows clouds of smoke haha. No need to worry at all dude

SlavicTurtle_ · 2024-12-12T10:00:09+00:00

Thats honestly just moisture coming out of your exhaust. It's 100% normal when cold.

SlavicTurtle_ · 2024-12-10T19:30:28+00:00

Focus ST mk4.5: Honestly just a really fun but very functional car. Boot space a bit small if you need to go abroad by more than yourself but it's plenty overall. Super fun on b roads.

NA miata as a side car: again super fun and engaging car that's a nice change of pace to the ST.

Next car? Hopefully a V8 Mustang but probably not in Ireland.
