ok finally got a new car after a few weeks of looking , really couldnt bring my selfto buy a e36 m3 it just felt like i was buying a old car even tho the engnes were great , i really could handle the interior ,so eventually ended up with this ....

1 owner 30k miles and few little upgrades , 231hp 9200rpm really is fun to drive

got a couple of bits to do like paint calipers , move and replace number plate with a small one

So whens the next snetterton track day ?

Nice car..........never knew the redline was that extreme?? I love the look of these, and I look forward to hearing how you get on on-track.

Keep us posted :D

Well you know I would give you a massive thumbs up for this one ;)

Good choice of car mate, just make sure you check the oil after every couple of fill ups and make sure you dont just start it up and move it then turn it off........leave it running for a few mins before switching it off otherwise you will flood it.

I still fancy a white one with a few choice bodykit bits on it and some nice seats and decent suspension....oh and some Volks of course :)

great video mate , it does sound special , but saying that this does sound amazing as it is

so far i have brought 7 litres of decent oil , new uprated coil packs and leads (plugs were changed 4k miles ago) protek r fuel aditive , small front number plate , a very quick easy way to spend

Great vid Stu, although its an RX8 its an RX7 engine and turbo lol

Great sound though and twin titanium exhausts look ace !!

Good work on getting the coilpacks that seems to be a good mod to do.

There is a lovely modded RX8 in Norwich which sounds awesome driven by a Asian (Chinese) guy I think ! Looks and sounds awesome.....
