personally converting the rx8 over typically adds up to just buying a good type 9 and bolting a type 9 on. plus no real such thing as a cheap rx8 box anymore.. also with an rx8 doesn't have a mechanical speedo pick up so I'm told, and also a few friends have said from experience that 1st gear is pretty useless ratio wise..
my opinion- if you can hunt a good type 9 get it. usually doing an rx8 conversion adds up not a lot less than the good old ford box. BUT if yu have a cheap good rx8 box to hand then go for it. just do NOT buy a plate from psycho engineering (google it..) use a guy called jonathan Wade I think he is from wales .

pull up to hipster London (Camden, Shoreditch , Hackney etc etc etc ) advertise them as vegan gluten free eco friendly pushbikes and I am pretty sure you wont be bringing any of those home tbh.

Fair bit of difference to be honest, you can make an escort one fit if you adapt the mounting holes etc, but depends on budget and skill, but this would allow ou to have a cable clutch and throttle cable rather than rod assemblies.  |

White dog turds... what happened to white dogturds Apparently the food suppliers have changed a certain ingredient/preservative in the dog food nowdays , hence the lack of finding white dog turds.... * *Please don't judge my reply or base that to pre judge my knowledge lol. We just get bored at work and much weird and wonderful conversations happen , neve know might help someone in a pub quiz Gosh i miss seeing those turds change colour like seasons. Such little changes make a big impact on lyfe..😂 |

Hi all , need a quick second opinion, have a jenvey inlet with a 10p sized hole for a servo I presume? But i do not want to run one and i don't want to just bung it up restricing air flow. Ideally would like it to be welded up with a patch to keep £ down (rather than buying a new one)
Can this be done to cast alloy , and also can anyone recommend anyone in the south east area to do the small job? Kent/london/ essex/ sureey

Bang for buck, whats the best / accurate universal clutch alignment tool available? Basically it has to work on a bmw m52 engine and a st170 zetec one. Thanks in advance chaps Short length of dowel(broom handle, whatever) and some insulating tape. Tried that or similar and always hit and miss i got a lot of engine swaps on the go so just want the correct tool to save time and messing around |

Great update! Always a nice bonus when there is upgraded parts that you didn’t expect to be fitted/included... I actually like those wheels! They’ll certainly be a cool winter wheel! Cheers dude , yeah was decent , also found out is has a new single mass flywheel i found out last night !will tinker with it as and when i can , and the winter wheels most would call them show wheels haha |
