@2:10 the dramatic steering over correction 🤣 it's an auto mate. They barely break traction
Astra J
Yeah. My suspension was decent when i got it, but the struts went a few months in. Replaced them with Bilstein B14 coilovers and it is FANTASTIC. Aftermarket suspension is a prime modification for these guys.
I'd love to meet Peter! I own a 98' c5 coupe and live in London. I have not found any other c5 owners in London, so would be happy to head further out.
Will it still pass emissions at 950 idle?
I just bought a 2007 (high tax 🙃) one and got really lucky with it rust wise! 40k miles and I dont intend on driving it in bad weather/winter to keep it that way Too many of these are given up on because they're cheap (for now) its good to see one being saved
Your wrong they never MADE fiat uno abarth it was just a UNO TURBO IE thats all 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congrats, dad! Enjoy it, And the car! Watched this series recently as ive bought a well looked after RX8, Thats rotten. With poans to swap it all into an NC MX5. But im temoted to save it. The editing and videography you guys put into the videos deserves so much more recognition.
Sports button actually has a function in this car including chugging the gas.
Glad to see her back, keep up
Awesome vid! Glad to see an RX8 rebuilt. Happy driving. Great work by the guys in the garage too. Seem like some top quality rebuilders.
They absolutey are!
Congrats on the rebuild and thanks for an absolutely brilliant series. The first start at 10:00 sounded absolutely brutal - I was on the edge of my seat!! Good luck trying to keep the revs down until it breaks in :D
Truly happy to read such supportive comments! We shall continue full throttle ahead 🚘
Just binged watch this whole series 10/10 I own a black R3 and it's my pride and joy, A good upgrade is using Redline gearbox and diff oil, which made a huge difference on my car. Another is poly bushing car, especially the diff mounts. Best of luck with Roy may he have high compression for many years!
Thank you so much. Share the video for us and enjoy your R3!
Nice ride, a stock C5Z06 with GM test driver did the Nurburgring in 7:59 something so a slow trackday is no problem with this car, i had a yellow manual C5 cab 2002 earlier but changed to a 2010 C6 Grandsport Callaway SC606 love it, toured Germany - France last summer from Sweden and despite having 600+ hp it still is like 28-30 mpg at highway amazing fuel economy.
9:09 love that video gauge thing you did there. Love the whole video actually
Our collaborator Sam, who edited this video, will be pleased to read your comment ❤️
My rx8 has just failed MoT on rusty sills. The dilemma of is it worth getting them repaired and where. Where is big ben located? and how much do you think the cost would have been without all the under body treatment
Ben is in Hampshire. The costly bit was not the treatment, but the cutting and welding. Is you 8 as bad as Roy?
Reece and Josh are famous. 😂 the best there is.
Nice car but like mine they fall apart after 70 thousand miles sadly not a car you could daily drive in the UK , you know its fragile when my old 2011 Hyundai i10 shopping trolley never went wrong but after only 2 months owning my 500 the door handle fell off , the clutch and gearbox went bang costing me near £1000 to fix and suspension broke and the blu tooth system broke and ive not bothered fixing that lol , I know these are cheap cars but the build quality is very poor.
You are not alone. Many manufacturer opt for cheap parts. Although, you might have been particularly unlucky.
@@DriveVice 🙂👍 cheers my friend and yeah it's shameful that the manufacturers deliberately use cheap parts , built in obsolescence is what they like sad to see 😔
I've been waiting for an update! I was nervous waiting for that rotary to be cracked open. I'm in a similar spot right now. The outer sills are trashed and i have to fix the inner before putting the outer. I had to make my own rear corner piece in front of the rear wheel inside. The exact spots he said go bad XD. I have everything except the rear subframe and gas tank off. I've started dealing with the rust and making my own pieces. But I have a low mileage engine and a rebuild kit on order. I still have my original engine and am cracking it open this weekend anyway. If I had some more courage I'd be posting my journey too, but I don't lol Can't wait to see more of your car and journey!!❤ good luck!
Good luck my friend!! Please keep us up to date. It's a surprisingly scary journey, and that's why I had to go with TPS. I had to play it as safe as possible. May the apex be with you 🚗
Just bought a 1.6 turbo last night
Love it. Enjoy !!
Great video 🙌🔥
Thank you 🙌 Love the GTC
I have a 2001 C5 Coupe with the Z51 handling package. I agree with everything in the video. My other car is an urquattro which I thought was fast & great at handling. The Corvette is in another league entirely 🏁🏴
Great comment but.... wrong video? :-)
Really enjoyed the video and agree that for a street driven car, the factory more or less knew what they were doing. I've owned my RX8 for 21 years this year (original owner of a pre-ordered initial batch North American car.) Just subscribed and will keep following the build.
Awesome! 21 years with an 8. Hats off for the longevity. I hope you are still enjoying it. Did you keep it factory?
@@DriveVice Thanks! I've accepted it's part of the family now and with me until I die. I would say tastefully modded: Racing Beat Revi Intake with ram air duct, Cobb AccessPort tuned by MazdaManiac, Axial Flow shifter, Racing Beat midpipe, Mazdaspeed Cat Back, Mazdaspeed front and rear strut bars, Racing Beat sway bars and end links, KW v3 coil overs and Rays MazdaSpeed MS-01S Wheels. Still going strong on original engine. Will replace it with my 20B when it finally goes. Also have the track FC in my avatar picture (full bridge N/A) and have another FC that's a Half Bridge Turbo. It's an addiction. :)
@@Redshift42 that's fantastic. I wish we could make a featured video of such an important family member, but I don't think you're based in the UK.
@@DriveVice I'm in Nova Scotia, so not local. :) Funny enough, I do have family in London and a friend (who does Time Attack in an FD) in Sheffield
Waste of time watching this…
You're welcome :-)
@@DriveVice I would not rebuild, nor use that rust bucket. You can find a RX8 with a blown engine for less than $500 (with way less rust) and get a used engine for about $1500-$2000. Been there done that.
Why the front has the Mazda look. What a shame carmaker has become. To literally rip copy from another.
So very true. We did think that too
Great Video! Funnily enough I got my engine rebuilt with these guys, you can actually see at 9:44, the black R3!
That's yours?! Awesome choice of garage. These guys are great
I am following with interest as I need to get my PZ rebuilt - its either these guy's or Rotary Motion - makes sense upgrading and keeping stock - I look forward to the end result - good luck!
Glad to be of service. Next step video coming soon (Spoilers: we recommend TPS with passion)
My local Rotary shop said that most RX8 engine rebuilds required new housing due to carbon build up. This all because of the side port exhaust.
The side ports are on the irons though, not the housings. And yes, lots of carbon build up on the ports, but it can be cleaned away. The housing becomes smooth and shiny after the regrinding.
Bridgeport the exhaust
😂 Watching your face when your kaka valve kick in,your not a driver.
It's true, at the time I had very little experience on RWD. And in my defence, it was a patch of oil on the roundabout, cos some one else spun it after me. But, fair comment. I did shit myself.
Great video ❤
Thank you! Many more to come
@@DriveVice gotta find more Corvettes 👍
A street port doesn't do much but make the idle lumpy in a Renesis from what I've read. I love the series btw!
Street port shouldn't change the idle, but only increase the lower end of the torque (if the engine is healthy to start with), but as Josh mentioned, it's not the best choice for longevity. Bridge port is what make the idle go Brrraaap
The rx-8 does fit a car seat! A passenger with a rear facing seat, not so much. Use the sound of the rotary to calm the kiddo down. It worked for me!
Thanks for the tip! :D
I literally went through the same exact thing the day before this video. I made it to 125k, went in wanting porting etc… and learned so much to the point that my rebuild will be OEM with some port polishing. Enjoy the journey!
Oh excellent! Totally worth it!!
Nice job guys! Keep it up!!
Everyone can enjoy my different hairstyles in the series 🤣 Great video Alex 👍🏻
We want a mohawk next
Great video. TPS are awesome! I had my clutch changed and engine rebuilt by them and my car has never felt better. Everyone there is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended
We surely agree!
I've dealt with TPS a few times with my previous rx8 and funnily enough have just bought another rx8 from Josh, can't fault either of them best in the game in my opinion
How many 8s have you owned? and why more than one?
@DriveVice this is now my 2nd rx8, I had my first when I was 19, was a 2006 car on 31k miles but sold it a year later when I bought a 370z, but now I am going back to the rx8 as even though they're not the quickest of cars out of anything I've ever driven it has the most character and soul in a car which I admire
Any plans for content in the meantime?
Yes, more car experiences coming your way.
Big the council houses in France.
Yes, here in the US a well-maintained C5 certainly can be a daily driver. Mine is., and it's a delight to drive every time I get in it. Fun review as it's great to get a British perspective on these 20+ year-old cars.
Thanks for that. It's great to find passionate people who cares for their drives. Especially when they're dailies! Greetings from the UK
How much did it cost in the end in total?
2.2k 😭
Im guessing all of your suspension components and bushings are all toast. Frame rot. Yikes. Id find a cleaner 8 with less cancer. One of the 8's I owned was showing a little rust on the rockers. Underneath was a different storey. Once they start to show body rust. The hard to see areas are already toast.
A rx8 specialist inspected the components and.. they aren't bad. Therefore, full steam ahead with the restoration.
I think this is what RX-8 was intended. If you understand the number 8. It mean infinite, unlimited, etc. whatever you want to define it. Because if you trace the number 8, it just keep going, well beside number 0. Anyway, my point is i just found this video and your other video as well. And i am really interested in tackling something like this. Always been my dream car. Like your other video, other sport cars are expensive, especially RWD. Keep it up. Looking to see what you do with it moving forward.
Thanks for your support! The journey has began :-)
REBUILD!!! Worth every moment.
We shall
You should get a 370z!
I've considered it many times. Two seater is not an option at the moment, but I am a big fan
I'm loving this. Looking forward to phase 2.
Thanks!! 🤞
569 Subscribers and you are putting out work like this? Bro people gotta wake up ASAP lol they are heavy sleepers
Thanks bud. Appreciate the support. Help spread our work 🙏
@@DriveVice of course
Don't have those problems in Australia with the Rx8. No salt on the road in winter, probably the difference
Very likely. Salt is absolutely deadly to metal.
This was the only car I was interested in and I got it in a good deal from a single owner. 1.4T Limited Edition Yes, the tech is dated, but it's a great car to start. You'll learn all things and can drive those fancy cars later and appreciate them as well. I did go for a petrol one, which obviously is more expensive on road tax, but for a new driver driving occasionally, I don't want to get the DPF headache.
They still look great. The design is definitely ageing well. And petrol seems like a wise choice these days, if you drive short distance.
