They do indeed. Decided not to do that on this occasion as the failed arm had taken quite a beating. But I did press out the old ball joints out of curiosity. Notice how the ball joint areas have more material around them compared with the OE items that were on the car when I bought it...

Oh man, I really miss the RX8. It was the best handling car I've ever driven. Just a delight. Double wishbones all round, big brakes, lightweight details everywhere, and an engine that sits behind the front axle line. The Mazda engineers did some overtime! Engine was pretty reliable for me...

They are Meyle HD items. Peak loads on brand new Yokohama AO52 tyres are very high - like slicks. I must have fatigued them after 5 seasons and 29 races. I replaced them with the same type and will limit them to 15 races going forward. Another unexpected consumable!

I'm back for a quick review of 2025 before getting into 2026 plans. Pre-season prep was all about the diff. Purchased a 3.73 crownwheel and pinion and had it fitted into my existing LSD. I considered doing this myself but it was quite a learning curve the first time and I have less time than...

Like a charm! Peeled back the boot carpet and the connectors were right there in the centre console recess. Bit of tape and a cable tie to secure. Took all of 15 minutes.

It was clearly an attempt to diffuse the escalating negativity. Slagging off another person's track build is a low blow.

I had zero issues removing all of that stuff. The DME doesn't know - certainly no faults shown.

Confirmed. It is supplied from the 100A fuse at the battery in the boot.

Can't be 100% sure at this stage. I'll take a peek tomorrow.

I'm glad we've got the cultural/contextual differences out of the way :) I fitted a different type of battery master switch so didn't have to solve this problem. The main problem you have is that you have two "fuse boxes". One in the cabin and one in the engine bay. And each has a separate 12V...

When I refer to the "power distribution box" in my line diagram I'm talking about the black plastic box in the corner of the engine bay. The engine bay box with the +ve jumper post is unfused and runs to the battery and starter. I've read this thread a few times and cannot see a clear question...

I even drew diagrams! See page 9 :)

PM sent. Might have missed the opportunity to view today though.

Defo interested in doors and wings. Also overdue meeting you :)

Thanks Doddsy. The price was the giveaway! :roll:
