Having been on plenty of forums over the years I can kinda get the point here. When i joined i was quite surprised by the way that traders offer assistance directly in the open and also list prices on threads themselves. Most other forums (and im a trader myself on some) there seems to be a bit of an unwritten rule that traders have there own subforums and other than to offer assistance in the ways of free advice all advertising should be kept in there. Should a customer/ potential customer require and answer to a question that they want asking publicly they would do so by starting a thread in the traders own space. Ive already had a couple of experiences with traders on here and fortunately they have been as you'd expect from a forum trader - CS Motorsport in particular went lengths further than the call of duty to help me out with the offer of further assistance if required - despite me being a nobody on here - which i though was great. On the other hand there is a trader on here who unless i had no other option i would try to avoid using - no mention of who they are, though im fairly sure the service from them would be fantastic there seems to be a lack of etiquette to balance it out. Forum's should remain for there members 1st and foremost - Although it makes sense for members to have preferred traders who can and should be invited to trade on the forums i think that they should be sought out and not be mardering people. I think the trouble you have is though if 1 trader is bashing away on every thread saying 'we sell this for this price, use us! were the best' then the others will feel the need to also in order to get a look in - resulting in the seemingly shameless advertising on most threads that come up parts orientated Maybe i aught to keep my nose out mind. But i do get where the OP's coming from - perhaps even more noticeable from a newbie

now now you really aught to get away from that view on them! Buying a rotary is NOT gamble you just need to buy 1 knowing and not learn after! and should you ever have the pleasure of owning 1 you will love it Granted they arnt a day to day car - and a customer of mine once rightly said to me that owning a rotary is a way of life, he couldnt have been more right - it doesnt make them a bad car or bad engine for that matter .... In-fact i myself own 2 rx8's, my zed and ive been test driving s2ks for about 6 months waiting for the right car to come up (and i own a corsa too but thats just for work and back lol) and in all genuine honesty the mazda's are a much more rewarding drive than any of the rest - despite there downfalls nothing will put smile on your face quite like them hopefully that'll give you nudge enough to open your eyes and dip a toe into the dark side

Haha :-) all its really missing are the wheel trims!

You can get 2 rx8's with fresh engines in them for the price of 1 Z :-/ Everyone claims they break a lot but that wouldn't matter as you'd have warranty and a spare hahahaha :-D

It's an auto :-(

ahhhhhhh stop it!!!! i have a mate whos done as bad to his mazda Jack, hes on the front page of fast car this month - if you have a read i get a mention too now i might add that i got the mention i built his engine not because i fit his wheels or painted his car to look like a BMW

I use the stuff and love it both my 8's are black so i dont often touch them with this stuff but i use it on the zed all the time if you want some try here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Greased-Lightning-Showroom-Shine-1Ltr-Waterless-Car-Wash-/121005685335?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item1c2c803a57 ... stingy gets

Jesus I need to put my rates up ... How do you southeners get away with it lol

well after living with it for a bit ive decided i love it shes just right! still not completely convinced about the rasp at 3 - 4k but in the scheme of things its a small price to pay

whats a BERKS HFC rasp? ignore the noob question but i think im extremely intrested in the answer to you problems my decated system rasps as soon as you hit 3000 rpm ... im not sure i like it

Breakdown - The zed exhaust isnt that bad to work on ... though ive known easer. The cats have a nut each that it took a while to get the right ratchet/ socket combination on and in the end the only thing that made it easy you just dont find in a DIY socket set so im glad for the garage! the cheap de-cats wernt a bad fit for the money but the flexi in the y pipe had to take a little bit out of the off angle on the decat flanges - nothing major and the old y pipe managed fine with no blowing or over stretching. The back box wasnt an instant success but wasnt bad either and only required the hangers to be tweeked slightly to get it to sit level - other than that not bad all around. Sound? well now its put a big smile on my face - how long it will last who knows. between 1250 and 2500 rpm it sounds incredible! very very deep and you can feel it let alone hear it. at band on 2400 - 2500 i get a very very strange tweet - yep like a bird going mad, only when its really warm so im guestimating an ever so slight leak somewhere. at 3000 rpm the sound changes completely from a nice deep V6 grumble to a rather loud V6 rasp that denton (the young lad that works for me) got very very exited about, im not too sure as yet and at about 4500 rpm it all settles down to a nice reasonably loud exhaust note that im sure i like a lot main trouble with the inconstancy in noise's is i keep finding myself going round corners a little faster than im completely comfortable with as im holding onto the accelerator that second or 2 longer to hear it as it clibs im sure ill settle down all in all though a dam sight better than a blowing back box and blocked cats
