do the brembo's make a big difference over non brembo import brakes ? I see most imports have fabric seats, i take it leather gt ones dont come up for sale here very often?

everyday is a school day eh ! as the fuel in japan is likely to be 102 ron , and ours at best is 99 ron , on an imported zed will it run lean or can the ecu adjust to the lower grade fuel ?

do you have to use super unleaded or can you get an import mapped to run on 95 ron as a uk one ? did you get the auction grade cert with yours ? and any certification?

Guys sold my car today and after much thought over an rx8 im 100% looking for a zed now. i have my van to use so in no desperate rush to buy one however i have been looking on autotrader today, imports seem to be criminally cheaper than uk models . im looking to spend £10500 ish , want something with no more than 45,000 miles if pos is there any issue with using higher ron fuel with a jap import ? i have had a quick scan of the FAQ, how many of you are running imports ? what do you think of these , any comments on the cars or experiences with these garages ? imports direct seem to have loads in http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... &logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... &logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... &logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... &logcode=p

awesome !! how much was the kit , and how much to get it sprayed ? where did you get kit from ?

how much did you pay for it , if you dont mind me asking ?

i was thinking of taking one out for a test drive too, do dealers really go in for a hard sell afterwards ? what excuses do you use when you get out of the car after the test drive and they say, well shall we start the paperwork ?!!!

welcome how did you like the 8 ? how does the Z compare ?

some excellent posts here guys, i did post on the rx forum a few weeks back, to be fair they all said the z was an awesome car. after having another hard think about it today i think its going to have to be the z , in standard it does look better and i dont need the extra seats. Is there a massive difference between the 276 bhp and the 296, and the 313 bhp models in terms of speed / handling think for my budget which is up to £9500 it will be an early model anyway thanks for the advice guys

yeah it will be my daily driver , my hearts telling me the z but my head keeps saying buy the rx because they are cheaper to buy with less miles for the year!!!!

thanks for the responses so far guys how much provocation does the z need for the back end to come out , i dont really want a twitchy car the rx8 prices are sooo tempting but scanning the posts on the rx club nearly every other day someone posts something has broken, just wondering if the z is worth the 3k premium over the rx8 prices the handling on the rx is supposed to be excellent although the lack of torque issue does bother me, past few cars i have had have been turbocharged

hey guys been lurking for a while, great club just deciding whether to get a z or an rx8 ? any owners here that have had both ? which did you prefer help me decide !
