HKS Hybrid Oil Filter with Neodymium Magnet

The filter with integral Neodymium Magnet technology inside

A new concept oil filter which improves oil pressure drop and flow properties by approximately 30% compared to current sports oil filters. Large diameter of “Super Intake Hole” and newly developed low resistance hybrid filter allow low pressure loss. Engine response is alos improved by reducing the stress on the engine.

Most sports oil filters are prerequisite for using the high viscosity oil and therefore filter paper strength is prioritized whilst sacrificing absolute pressure loss properties. HKS Hybrid Sports Oil Filter has readdressed filter strength and overall structure to provide the oil flow that the engine requires and pursue HKS’ ideals in what is required from a sports oil filter.

Comma 15w40 Mineral Oil 5l

Comma 15w40 Mineral Oil

This is the standard stuff that we normally use on our services, offering a higher viscosity than the recommended oil, 15w40 will help protect the inside of your engine better especially the stationary gear bearings (a key weak point on the RX-8 when using 5w30)

This oil is supplied in a 5 liter can and should be enough for a oil change plug 1-1.5 liters spare for top ups.

We recommend 3000-6000mile (or 6 months) oil changes to keep your oil as clean as possible.

Larger quantities are available please contact us for pricing

Standard RX-8 Air Filter

This is a standard replacement air filter for your RX-8′s air filter box

OE spec this item should be replaced every 3 years according to the Mazda Service plan.
Why not look at our K&N Filter as a possible alternative.

You may also need to change this if you have overfilled your oil and it has contaminated your original air filter

High Flow RX-8 Panel Filter by K&N

This drop in in air filter from K&N is designed to last the lifetime of your car.

It will never need replacing, unlike the standard air intake filters, and will only need washing and re-oiling (every 50’000miles maximum). For what is roughly double the price of a normal Air filter you can get better air flow and a reusable filter.

The other upside to this is that if your unlucky enough to overfill your oil (on early cars) it would have been blown up in to your intake and contaminate your air filter with oil, Possibly leading to some of the following symptoms:

  • Rough Idle
  • Smoke from exhaust
  • Stalling
  • MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor contamination

An excellent addition to any service plan. Ask about the K&N panel filter when you book your next service

Magnecor Electrosport 80 HT Leads for RX-8

Magnecor Leads – Original equipment replacement. Designed to improve original ignition system performance on street vehicles using electronic engine management systems.

We have seen many RX-8′s exhibiting problems due to the standard Mazda HT leads failing mainly due to the boot not sealing around the spark plug correctly leading to corrosion of the plugs connector and in some cases the tip actually braking clean off of the spark plug.

We have also Witnessed first hand the poor insulation properties of many replacement “OEM spec” Ht leads available on the market in some cases we have witnessed sparks grounding to the chassis or engine before reaching the spark plug.

Magnecor HT leads will eliminate the issue above!

MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor HT Lead Set for RX-8 (Special Intro Offer)

Normal Price £64.99
Special Introductory Price normally £69.99

Made to order right here at Essex Rotary using all MSD Components.

The MSD 8.5 mm Super Conductor wire is the performance wire engineered from the inside out, the 8.5mm offers everything you have ever wanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 In. length of Super Conductor wire there is only 40 to 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire. To accomplish this, MSD use a copper alloy conductor due to it’s great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss of spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight, that there is over 40 Ft. of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective electro magnetic interference (EMI) choke.

  • Copper alloy conductor has a resistance value of less than 50 ohms per foot for superior spark
  • Ferro-magnetic impregnated core creates an effective EMI choke
  • Forty feet of conductor is wound into a single foot of wire for high EMI suppression
  • Conductor core features Dupont Kevlar material for increased tensile strength
  • Durable outer sleeve is a proprietary compound for resistance to high heat or abrasion
  • Stainless steel terminals feature dual crimp tabs to grip wire conductor and outer jacket separately

These MSD HT Leads are made to order right here at Essex Rotary HQ, from genuine MSD components. Available in Red or Black cable options (select your preferred color fron the drop down menu before hitting the “add to cart” button.

Custom lengths and configurations available upon request.

Racing Beat REV8 Twin Tip Cat-back System for R3

The Racing Beat REV8 “Street Legal”, Cat-Back RX-8 Exhaust System (Twin Outlet Tips) is the perfect replacement for your stock exhaust – a durable assembly offering a real horsepower gain over your stock unit. Our RX-8 exhaust system consists of a 304 stainless steel Racing Beat connecting-pipe, muffler canisters, tubing, flanges, and outlet tips. The replacement connecting-pipe is manufactured using 3-inch (OD) tubing and features cast stainless steel flanges for positive exhaust gas sealing.

RacingBeatREV8R3Twin350px

Twin Tips:
The REV8 Exhaust system will certainly stand out from the crowd with its distinctive twin tip outlet design!

A first of its kind offering for the RX-8, these highly polished stainless steel tips offer a welcome change from the standard single tip design and provide a well-balanced look to the rear of the RX-8.

Mirroring the design of the new-for-2009 tail light assembly, the twin tips provide a symmetrical balance from rear facing angles, and maximizes the exhaust openings in the bumper.

(2009+ RX-8 exhaust systems differ with regards to the positioning of the outlet tips and are NOT compatible with earlier 2004-08 RX-8 models, without modification to the Series 1 exhaust shrouds)

Black Halo Racing Ignition Upgrade Kit for RX-8 inc Spark Plugs

GENUINE BHR PARTS ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
The kit that spawned a thousand “D585 Coil Kit” COPIES….!

NGKIridium
This Package Includes a set of Genuine NGK Iridium spark Plugs (as recommended by BHR) at a large discount
SAVE £25.00 Compared to buying BHR Coils and Plugs Separately

3 Colors Available:

  • Red with Red HT Leads
  • Blue with Blue HT Leads
  • Silver with Black Ht Leads

BlackHaloRacingIgnitionKitRX8AllColors300px
It is widely known that the ignition coils on the Mazda RX-8 are weak and suffer from reliability issues, even on unmodified engines, as early as 30,000 miles and weak ignition coils eventually result in failure of the exhaust catalyst and/or long-term engine damage. With forced induction, nitrous oxide use, or any kind of track racing you need to have an ignition system that is more reliable and with higher voltage/current output than the OEM system.

The Black Halo Racing Ignition system is designed for purposes of improving the reliability and drivability of the RX8 as well as a modest but noticeable increase in power. This ignition upgrade is NOT designed to resolve problems with your engine/car as a result of mechanical failure, so please be sure your engine is mechanically in proper operating condition before purchasing..

This ignition system is likely the most popular product ever offered for the Mazda RX-8 and it’s popularity continues to rise…… probably because this is the ONLY ignition system for the Mazda RX-8 which retains over 80% of it’s value in the resale market! Do not be misled by imitation/”copycat” systems other retailers may try to sell you as many of them do not include everything needed for a proper installation.

Typical benefits reported by those whom have purchased this kit are quicker start-ups, better throttle response, more midrange torque, smoother engine sound/operation above 7,000 RPMs, and no more misfires. All this applies to power-adder (nitrous or F/I) applications, as well, and all models of the Mazda RX-8.The Black Halo Racing Ignition System addresses these concerns in a very simple manner. The coil conversion wiring harness allows a true “plug-and-play” installation that doesn’t require you to cut, splice, or otherwise alter any wiring in your RX8. The ignition coils used emit more current and voltage than the RX-8/OEM ignition coils and provide much longer life over the stock and most aftermarket systems. They are used in many racing applications, rival any coil in the aftermarket, and this system renders any additional/external ignition hardware unnecessary. The kit mounts in the exact same location as the OEM coils and fits all models/years of the RX-8. Do not wait until problems arise before making improvements to your ignition system.

The pre-assembled kit contains a baseplate, coil brackets, ignition coils, a plug-and-play conversion harness, and custom-built MSD or Moroso spark plug wires. It also includes a 3-year warranty on all parts, materials, and workmanship.

The shifter is a plug and play application that effectively reduces the stroke by 5mm between gears while also ‘solidly’ engaging the gears, this may not sound like a lot but it makes a big difference.

Shifting will be smoother with the upgraded brass collar compared to the OEM plastic collar and many owners report that they no longer miss gear changes during spirited driving.

This is the same part as used on the RE-Amemiya RX-7 D1GP cars.

Do note these are to fit the 5MT only and will not fit 6 speed MT equipped RX-8.

In Stock and ready for UK dispatch.

KoyoRadLogo

Why not include a set of SFS Performence Radiator hoses with your new cooling upgrade

Suitable for 192 and 231 models with Manual transmission only
