    Lowering spring suggestions

    Hey guys, so for a while I have been debating about lowering my car and I have been looking online for different brands. I got 2 brands that caught my eye but unfortunately they are not eibach or H&R because I can't find any new ones from them (I imagine they are discontinued). The 2 brands are...

    Engine feels clogged and slow + high idle

    Hey guys, I have finally fixed my issue. For anyone that's wondering in the future with a similar issue, my problem was the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). By the looks of things, the misaligned of the teeth that read the throttle position, it gave the wrong reading to my ECU causing the car to...

    Clutch Replacement

    Might as well replace the petrol and oil in it 😆. But I'm a big fan of the rx8 and I hope it starts up all well. It's my dream car 😁.

    Fuel leak (fuel sender pipe to the fuel filter)

    When I was working on the car I wanted to tried to change the fuel filter and now the fuel sender pipe leaks fuel. I primed the fuel pump couple of times and it starts to piss fuel. I'm not sure what's going on. From when I remember the fuel sender pipe is meant to have a little bit of movement...

    Engine feels clogged and slow + high idle

    I remember one time when when me and my friend tested the engine, we decided to unplug the ICV and for some reason the car went back to behaving normally. Like the idle was steady. I don't know why, I don't know where there could be a vacuum leak.

    Engine feels clogged and slow + high idle

    It was changed roughly 5 months ago when I was doing the timing belt for it. Is there a way to clean the fuel filter?

    Engine feels clogged and slow + high idle

I remember the on couple of drives the engine would need a lot more throttle than normal but...

    Speedo not working

    Some of you guys probably have heard of this problem before with speedo not working and millage not being read at all. But I wanted to add in my situation, when we found the plug connecting to the gearbox sensor. We tried to connect it back and it blew a fuse and the car couldn't start at all...

    Electric mirror conversion

    Do you have a picture of the wires or a diagram so I have a better idea of what it look like in my door card? Also I'm surprised even pumas with manual mirrors come with the wiring for electric mirrors.

    Dom and his 2001 Ford puma black

    This is my car, got it for a fairly cheap price. Interior had better days 😆, engine gives me a headache with oil and coolant leaks, the exterior isn't pretty but rust isn't that much of an issue. So far the only mods that were done were the st170 brakes and with that I had to upgrade to 17 inch...
