    Anyone link me to some good quality/genuine mats?

    Ive got cannon car mats they are good for me as during the winter when Ive walked the dog I cant be bothered to change boots. The fit however is not fantastic for the drivers side and rears imo.

    help strange judder feel

    If it only happens when you change gear then DMF looks like the culprit :( If it only happens when you accelerate and a part of that is changing up gears it could be your inner CV joints are worn. For the record these bushes your talking about I ***ume are the compliance bushes in which case...

    Mixing Aspec and Eibach suspension

    Good idea all moved now mate. Yes I will probably offer them for sale once Ive established a combo works or doesnt as the case may be. If the fronts work out okay I will change over to eibach springs on rear and see how that works.

    Mixing Aspec and Eibach suspension

    This is the problem mate everyones experience is not the same for example CJ is uber happy with his tourer aspec. As far as cost benefit is concerned there is and will be no benefit what so ever, Im only doing all this as Im in for a penny in for a pound. I should have simply gone Koni...

    Mixing Aspec and Eibach suspension

    Well we tried what CJ suggested which was get some weight on front end and tighten suspension bolts, basically preloading the bushes beyong that of what the natural weight would. This dropped the car a bit around 5mm but I was not happy loading the bushes in such a way, when we undid them the...

    What exactly do I need to fit a set of RX8 alloys

    Mate try a search this has all been covered before. They will be a straight fit but centre bore is bigger so spigott rings honda bore ie 64.1 to mazda 67.1 will be needed to be safe. As has been said the offset is 50mm so will give you a 10mm wider track (5mm either side) this will change the...

    RX8 Alloys

    Looks good brings back memories when I had them on my car ages ago. I liked the 50mm offset filled the arches that little bit better, defo needs a drop now some coilovers would be the way to go.

    Dual intercooler i-ctdi

    You dont make the existing one bigger in terms of dimensions you get the core replaced so the surface area is larger and able to flow better.

    Dual intercooler i-ctdi

    Agreed its either rework the existing intercooler or go FMIC and ditch the original one. If you dig deeper on civinfo there is a down side to all this with the low end power.
