Death do not do us part!

I do not normally sell parts. I love them stacking up in the shed! But a forum member got one stolen from his carport. I had to help!

Found a box from the basement store room of my lab. It is a bit off size so I cut and wrap with packing tape. In fact, it is the idea of the forum mate. He told me that cubic size is much more expensive than weight alone. Although it weighs 12kg, doing it by weight is $19. Doing it by cubic it is easily over $25!

Hope Ash likes the packaging.

60000km service

Well I put it off for a long while now and I eventually took the RX-8 off charge and brought it to Nelson for a service.

The rotor has worn out nearly completely and I took the Project Mu SCR Pro rotor that I took delivery from Henry about 4 months ago to get it install. The pad I had it for more than a year now. Think they have a good shelf life right????

The rear I had it machined… it looks near brand new!

I also had the spark plugs cleaned and engine oil and filter changed. It brought back the life of the car! It revs and has the 6,500 rpm surge~! Surely it is all the 170kW I need!

  Brought the car for alignment and it is not much need to be done. The camber and rear toe are pretty much right. Only the front toe needed to be adjusted… Sweet.

Car is stripping down

I eventually have time to do something in the car. I started from stripping the boot space lining first.




There are many of these collect. I will buy a box to store those.

There are many surprises when you strip a car. I found some tool stuck in the black and somewhat sticky stuff. I hope I can found some $100 notes later :).

I am not sure what that is for. I was advised that it is for air pressure in the boot while closing and it is seen in many cars. I have not stripped many cars in the past.
