Cheapest R I’ve seen in Oz was in Canberra a couple of years ago for $22k. Reckon the $45k SA one (although low ks and presents well) is overpriced.

So, I bought some Sortilege rims before I even bought the car as I really disliked the Mk2 rims in photos. I’d planned to recondition them and paint them in a slightly lighter satin grey. Now I’ve had the car for a while, the mk2 wheels have grown on me! Haha. Did a quick test fit, don’t know...

Just completed a 3000km road trip with the family. She got pretty filthy, but performed beautifully. Covered quite a lot of windy roads, the grip from the Conti Sport 7s is insane. Few little jobs on the to do list. Some occasional small knocks over little bumps, possibly strut tops, and need...

Yep, changed the front first, but the grip differential was so great I ended up doing the rears also.

Changed some near new Kuhmo tyres over on mine for Conti SportContact7s. Makes such a huge difference to grip levels. I say it’s worth it. Can always swap them over to your 200hp one 😏

In my experience tyre brand will make much more of a difference than 6.5mm of extra sidewall.

Lotus have double wishbone suspension on all corners, a super stiff extruded aluminium chassis and is engineered around a specific platform. You can’t expect the same from a mainstream model based on hatchback architecture. That said, I dont find the RCZ harsh in any way. It’s quite compliant...

Hey all. Though I may as well continue my old thread. I’m back in an RCZ! This time a Nera Black 2014 model. Don’t have huge plans, but so far I’ve fitted some ContiSport 7s to the front (amazing grip), and will get some for the rear shortly. I’ve given the interior a really good detail /...

I had a bit more of a look yesterday, heater matrix seems fine (both pipes hot, no signs of major leak) and both heater flap actuators (passenger and driver side) seem to be operating when heat is adjusted. I haven't found anything online about a flap reset with extensive searching, but that...

Thanks mate, hoping it’s just the little motor on the side, but guess we’ll see. Seems to be losing a slight amount of coolant, but leaning towards this being nothing to do with the heater matrix.

Thanks mate, the AC seems to blow very cold, so don't think there's an issue with it. I'm also aware the previous owner replaced the compressor a year or two ago. I did a bit more investigating this morning: - Passenger side: Everything seems to be working perfectly - ie it's freezing cold...

Does anyone know about heater matrix failure symptoms? Is blowing very hot air on one side definitely something that could negate this as an option?

Thanks heaps mate. I have those blanking ends on my list to check as I know the previous owner has recently replaced the Media System. Hoping I can get to them with minimal panel removal. That said, heat is definitely coming out of the vents, and not only the footwell vent (face level also)...

Congrats mate.

Hey all, Picked up my (second) RCZ recently. Loving it, other than one strange issue. (Ive done extensive searching, but haven’t managed to come up with anything definitive) Issue Basically, really hot heat is pumping into the cabin, no matter what the temp is set on (even on low). Weirdly...
