Had good news today i have been asking local garages round by our yard in Stafford for a bit of sponsorship not much back i know times are hard. But the main garage who uses us for parts rung today and he has a 2007 36,000 mile RX8 he said come pick it up . i was like what ? It was fitted with a new engine over year ago and chappie didn't pay so he has been awarded the car to cover his costs. He said its yours the money made off it put it towards the cost of racing .... i already have engine sold 1k so happy days...... This with my dads good friend also said he will put 1.5-2k towards next year think I'm on the way to having tyres and entry fees sorted Very happy bunny today
Defo mate the more £ i get the easier or more rounds i can do roll on 2014..... and 7 days left until I'm back to hopefully have these w@nkin restrictions lifted lol
Nice one Wedgie, that is good news for sure. Every pound you can get towards it helps massively. Happy days!
I might see if I can get some sponsorship, will have to break both my arms ofcourse to secure the sympathy vote...
Well done wedgie that's a good result! If you don't ask you don't get, shame the car needs cutting up can't you sell it as is? Where are we with your weavel knievel leathers?
Them rx8's are worth more in bits.They're not the best Mazda car they came up with.I bet you sell the coil packs first.
Nothing buddy runs nice but they fetch more being broke than sold its ashame really, this is its final resting place .
Ohhh i don't know about leathers they wanted too much for therm really didn't they , Ill have to stick with my holey Arlen ness lol
Yeah mate coil packs, starters (new one 2 weeks ago hi torque £300.00) engines wheels all do good body panels 2 a penny shame mazda didn't just whack the 1.8 vv or newer 2.0 mx5 engine in them still would be a few more on the road
They are a great handling car like you say 1.8 vvt or a mazda 5 2l 16v or even a turbo lump would have been better than that bucket engine in it.Good luck hope you do well with it mate.
