Come on driven by madness.!!!!!! Continue your hard work!!! Don’t worry about the long time you haven’t posted working on tourism require hard work and you need time to rest....! Keep it UP!
Thank you so much for the motivation man, it means a lot! :D
Damn man these videos are actually good. Straight to the point, shows literally all the info you need and directly films everything going on. Really helps me work on my rx8 especially the brake replacement video i just watched.
Awesome! Thank you so much man 😄 im really glad you like them👌
I bought used front&rear R3 suspension to replace my old rusted suspension. I also ordered front camber adjustment upper arms from Hardrace. I have a hard time adjusting stock front camber. Stock rear camber adjustment is enuf for me.
Great to c u back again.
Good upgrades man. I never adjusted camber, so i would suggest for the front one to get it to a shop. i noticed that upon the recall where they had to cut some stuff in the front for the arm, they didn't adjust the camber. So it's a good thing i had to do the back :) Thanks man, glad to be back!
It's been a loooong time since you've posted
I know, but i'm back again fully loaded!
@@Drivenbymadness can't wait for more content!
@@RXYannick me neither :P
Perfect timing my hardrace kit just arrived :)
Awesome! Have fun man, hope yours are easier to replace :)
Love watching your stuff man. I'm still hoping I'll be able to pick up an RX-8 for myself one of these days. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much man! Fingers crossed you do get a good one :D
We have great ones you can find to work on with no rust here in Arizona, phoenix and Tuscon have alot!
love the content and the rx8 growing. That must be the most lucky car ever to have such an owner
Thank you so much man, i really appreciate it 🤗
@@Drivenbymadness no problem! seeing your rx8 growing is amazing.I have one too but my kat melted and getting a new one is a pain. wanted to really restore it so your videos have always been more helpful than any mechanic i know.
Thank you for this uploas, will be doing this soon and like always you post in detail for us to make it happen 😁
It is my biggest pleasure to do so Good luck for the replacement! 😄
How are you liking the new 2019 end Soundtrack ? :D
Needs moar eurobeat :)))
Nah, it's totally lit already!
@@glukan1 This was an early edit of my Retrowave song. It's almost done now, can't wait to post it :) Thanks man!
Love your videos it was reason why I bought a rx8
Eurobeat like running in the 90’s
I just watched this after installing my Tein coilovers, and thought of getting a camber kit for the rear of my RX8. I always wondered what part was on the left side, which was the Headlight Leveling Sensor.
Hell yeah another vid.
Many more to come 😄
You should've left them the way they came, then adjusted after installed. One side is right hand thread and the other is left hand thread meaning you can adjust in the car without removing them. This will leave equal threads showing on both sides instead of just one side. Either way nice video, I learned what that weird thing that attaches to the arm is.
MUCH AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS BROTHER!!!!!!
Nice! I might get some new suspension components at some point after my rebuild, that side of the car looks like it needs some new parts T_T... Been a while since you uploaded, happy to see u back. As for me, I'm running on fumes here, engine decided it was time to go... still drive-able, but it's not happy, running on ~80 PSI rear but ~50 PSI or lower on front :( hot starts are officially an issue. Question: So, the RX-8 has camber from factory... if you take it to a wheel alignment, the guys at the shop should know to adjust accordingly, no? As in, leave the factory camber settings, whatever degree they are.
Ohh dear.... i hope i have some cash aside for a rebuild. Already searched for the nearest rebuild place and got a quote? The guys that align the wheels should get all the parameters they need from the software they're using and set up things to factory standards, or to custom settings if a customer chooses so (Drift setup).
@@Drivenbymadness Yeah I have been in contact w/ my local rotary shop for years now; I know how much it will cost me, but the budget is FAR from there right now; hoping the car will last me until I have enough for it, if not, I'mma have to spend money on intermediate steps (like getting a beater) which I hate doing... It's gonna cost me a pretty penny cause I'mma need new rotor housings and such :/ she's a weird one though... turned on in -30C weather this week as the polar vortex hit us. She still spits flames and pulls as if she's fresh out of the factory.
@@Snoopi25 nice! She's a fighter then 💪 a beater is not that bad of an idea in the long run. I myself got a scooter as a daily, and in winter I struggle a bit, and nostly us the rx8, but from april til oktober, its the best vehicle to use and I wouldn't want to drive any other 👌 saves me cca 100€ on fuel every month + I get free parking anywhere. Bit you kinda have to have a city that allows this lifestyle. If you have to travel a lot, especially on highways, then a beater is a better choice.
@@Drivenbymadness nope, I drive every day to a train station and then take the train to school, but once a week I need to drive to school because of late night classes... I drive 25 miles on the highway one way go and 25 on my way back. I go through 1/4 tank on that day lol (granted, I let it rip as soon as I hit the highway, doing 1st or 2nd gear all the way to 4th, and since I have low compression, my engine efficiency isn't as high anymore either, so MPGs suffer)
I also want to buy them. Good video 👍
Thanks man 😄 they are great value for money, hardrace is a bit expensive, but quality is the top one you can get 👌
I miss your content bro
Thank you so much man 😄 don't worry, im back now fully loaded 👌
Love this! thank you for doing this
Thanks man, i'm glad you liked it
until is nice and snug ! :D
I'm just missing the Scotty Kilmer "Uhhh" at the eng xD ua-cam.com/video/5bIpXvHNQbQ/v-deo.html
Hi driven to madness, love your vids, can u help, have a throttle body error which I have now changed for a new one ( throttle body ) but now she revs at 2.500 and stays there and will not rev higher, it pops ( exhaust noise ) a lot also, check for leaks, engine good, just had rebuild, all good, lost for what to do, please anyone or driven to madness, any ideas? Enlightened.
Great vid man, been refering to it for quite a time. Do you know what kind of a greese they used to prevent new allignment bolts to rust?
Do you need the oem adjusters if its adjustable?
Great vid! Were any of the ball joints stuck? I'm trying to remove the same part but the issue I'm having is that it is stuck on the hub. I noticed the bolt on the ball joint has an allen head bolt, did you have to do anything with it to get the control arm off?
Is there any weight difference between the two parts ?
resuming.
Go to a pro shop and ask then to do it!
Minor quibble, on the offset cam bolts the lines should be facing down...you installed yours upside down.
I'm still reeling over the Aux install, still have no AC or display or radio.
I got free control arms courtesy of Mazda recall which went perfectly with my yellowspeed adjustable coil overs
Happy to hear your recall went well :D As far as the AUX thing, have you checked the pins on the radio behind the plastic cover (the ones i mention in the Aux video). If they are not propperly pressed against the metal sheet the things you mentioned will never work.
I just fitted adjustable rear camber on a MPS3 and it's from MS.
Nice 👌
What was the total repair time without the video editing? Also when I get on the highway, I hear this sound ba dump ba dump ba dump, after every bump. I asked my mechanic to look at the sway bar parts to see if they are loose and caroded. What are your thoughts?
Around 4 hours just work in the garage. I also have that noise, its especially loud when you go iver soed bumps or when the rear side of the car goes up. I need to dig into it, I always say I have to, but forget.
@@Drivenbymadness I found the rear suspension parts need new support. Bushings etc... but the front now is terrible when it comes to bumps. Ideas?
Isn't there a recall for this?
Mine had a recall for the steering wheel airbag
Hey bro I hope you can help me :) I have my rx8 and it has an agency alarm but I lost my control so I do not know how to turn it off, but the good thing that it turns on, I would like to hear your comment please ;)
You mean alarm siren? Never worked with alarms, but they should have a power source. If you lost the remote, just find the wire that powers the siren and unplug it. No more alarm, but no more noisy siren that goes on all day and night 😄
Driven By Madness thanks for your answer, I find the answer:)
@@ramzuke You're welcome 😊
Are they noisier than OEM?
Not at all
Can you replace mines for me I don't have the tools
I can't, because i live far far away, but your local mechanic can 😊
@@Drivenbymadness lol true, love your vídeos btw bro...one question though the ball joints thats on the control arm i see that there's an hex key in the middle do i have to loosen it or just remove the nut
For how young you car is, its pretty rusty underneath in comparison to my 20+ year old cars
Before I took it south where I live and have no snow, it was in the north of my country where there's some serious snow and super salty roads. It did most of its damage there. But im planning on fixing up the underside, cause its a disgrace...
Until its nice and snug t shirts please
That and...
"And take it out"
:D
Please don’t do this unless you have extra money to get a alignment
If you install coilovers you must get an alignment and if you replace these arms, you also need an alignment. An alignment is like 30€ so I dont see why you shouldn't get one if you need one...
Driven By Madness here in California they charge 90 usd for a alignment just saying so someone doesn’t complain lol
@@glock1inthetop45 I see, well from the other perspective, you dont do it every day, so its worth the money. I agree that that is quite an amount for an alignment, but without it, the super sporty coilovers are useless.
