Test Drives Unlimited

Since I got the Solar Charger the Battery has steadily rebuilt it's charge back up [emoji108]

The ones going to Australia have already been Sold [emoji50] , they not expecting to see the car until some time next year [emoji50]

Ever since this Solar Charger was Hard Wired to the Battery under the Bonnet, I haven't had any battery issues in the GT86 [emoji108] Found an area of the Windscreen that's not a blindspot for me and used the Sucktion Mounts [emoji23] You can see from the Voltage Gauge that the drawing of the power souce is looking really good [emoji41]

They are Prospect R-Spec Step Range Gauges, I think [emoji848] Block8Head Pod for 3x 60mm Gauges, but they also sell sizes for 52mm Gauges, along with 1x and 2x Gauge Pod Units [emoji41] The 60mm Gauges were between £65 to £85 each, although they were slightly cheaper because I used the RX-8OC Discount Code that we have [emoji117] The Block8Head was £113.00 I think [emoji848] The Passenger Side Pod Unit was £200.00 from Fensport [emoji117] The whole lot came to something in the region of £800.00 including all the Sensors and Sandwich Plates fitted, but you do get what you pay for at the end of the day [emoji13] I find this all incredibly useful on trackdays [emoji117]

This is what I have in my GT86 [emoji13] , although the Exhaust one has stopped working ever since the Engine Recall !! The control button next to the pod on the drivers side is for the Head Up Display....

Yes i got them on my car and had no issues with them.

I had known Jordan ever since he was a member of the RX-8OC and then about 6 months after I bought my GT86, he then went and bought a Grey one as well [emoji14] Jordan will be sadly missed and poor Oscar will know doubt miss his Daddy RIP my friend [emoji22] PS : Hopefully we will be able to organise something in due course to honor his Memory!

Was a good Meet yesterday and not far to drive too for once.....lol

Just checking that this event is still going ahead on Saturday.... ? As I will be there if so... .

Yes they fold using the Smart Locking System, infact I rarely use the Remote to gain access to the car.... Mine are also set up to only unfold when you turn the Ignition on!

Not seen you for along time Nick, so you better be there my friend.

Should be able to make this, although off to Darlington the following day....

Good seeing you all today and took a few photos..

I will be there.....

They announced this show will be taking place yesterday, but with some new rules due to Social Distancing !! Check the Website for the full details... By the way am the Events Coordinator for the RX-8OC [emoji14]

I hope some longterm members come forward and volunteer in taking this club forward with Lauren. Speaking from experience as a member in their second term on the Committee for the RX-8OC, it can be very rewarding seeing the results that you help implement into the club take effect.

My one plugs into the socket under the drivers side of dash and then sits in front on top of the Dashboard and sends the info to the Windscreen. Has a separate switch if you want to turn it off. It cost £17.99 via eBay from a Chinese Manufacturer [emoji14] Got a photo somewhere....... I find it strange driving a car without it now!!

I've had mine 6.5yrs [emoji14] Enjoy the car.....

Sorry my legs and feet are hurting this Morning so can't make it after all

If I manage to get up, will be there in the Volvo at 9am [emoji14] Will have to leave the Cafe at 11am though!

I got HUD in my GT86 [emoji14]

Would be a shame to get rid of the car after all this time and seeing you and I are the highest mileage owners in the UK from 1st owner of our respective cars [emoji14] I am aiming for 200k.....lol

Are you keeping the the GT86 or getting rid of the car?

Car clocked up to 126,075 miles on Monday when I delivered it to the Body Shop [emoji14]

I have now covered well over 2,000 miles with no issues plus 2 trackdays [emoji14]
