yoeddynz Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 yeah that bit of road has a well dodgy tight corner after the bridge- once took a mates motor bike out there- i wasn't used to riding big bikes and never knew how much ya have to lean them! I went really wide onto other side of road -almost into the ditch. scared me and the on coming traffic. Whoops. I fit some koni inserts i got sent over from the us. Put them in on monday and man- what an amazing difference! Waiting for rear adjustable shocks to get made by gaz shocks in essex. They are making 2 pairs -one for my mate who has a rx3 too. Photos soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwd_mayhem Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 first off all that is an awesome car, so mint and original. so whats the story with the magazine? so over there when a car becomes classed as historic you don't have to pay ANY reg/tax? funny how it says CYLINDER capacity, how do they calculate 1964cc from a 12a? or is it still regd as 10a?

yoeddynz Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 yeah- there is a stupid method over here that calculates a cc rating for tax purposes! Its crap- they wont take mazdas official swept volume figure. So it also affects any one here trying to race a rotary as they get lumped into bigger cc class. On exile-rotorsport.com the fella's are constantly sending letters to dvla to get cars changed back to 1.2 or 1.3. Several have succeeded. Odd thing is that some rx8s got first registered as 1.3! Weird. Any way- i don't care as because i proved mine was built before 1/1/73 it is now tax free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
