    Jacking up the RCZ query

    Hi guys, I need to jack up my RCZ so I can get all 4 wheels off, albeit one at a time - I'm fixing some rust that's developing on the wheel hubs. Thing is, I've read some horror stories about the jacking points on the RCZ and how they're basically not fit for purpose, so I was wondering if...

    Has anyone ever repaired and resprayed their alloys themselves?

    Hi guys, my alloys have a bit of kerbing around the outside (done by the previous owner might I add) and annoyingly, have some odd discoloured patches here and there that don't go away, even when cleaned. I found a video online that actually makes repairing and spraying them yourself look...

    Recommended coolant?

    Hi guys, looking to top up my engine coolant and seeing some conflicting info when I try to get a definitive answer online on which one to put in. I saw that PSA B71 5110 is recommended, however I believe this is blue and the coolant in my car right now is definitely some kind of orangey...

    Are the 19" sortilege alloys diamond cut?

    Hi guys, been struggling to find a definitive answer for this through google or on the forums. Sadly the previous owner of my RCZ has obviously kerbed the alloys on more than one occasion, so I want to get them fixed up. I see from the quotes out there though that getting diamond cut alloys...

    Advice: Any Recommended Tuners/Remappers in Scotland?

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can recommend any tuning/remapping specialists in Scotland? I'm not having much luck finding a garage that will actually respond to me when I contact them. I had initially got a quote through Celtic Tuning and was happy enough, but they have put me in touch...

    Scotland?

    Just curious, any RCZ owners on here based in Scotland? The car really does seem to be very rare north of the border. I'm based in Edinburgh and have owned mine since March '22. In that time I have genuinely seen 3 other RCZs, all facelift versions, only one on the road at the time and the two...

    Insurance recommendations after a remap

    Hi guys, apologies if this isn't the right place to post this... Just wondering if anyone has any insurance recommendations for an RCZ after a remap. Planning on remapping my THP 200 up to 235 in March, but the only quotes I've seen so far have come through moneysupermarket & comparethemarket...

    Rust on the wheel/brake disc

    Hi guys, looking for a wee bit of advice please... My RCZ has a bit of rust on one of the wheels/brake discs. It's the rear right only (all the others are absolutely fine). It's had this since I owned it in March, and isn't getting any worse and also doesn't seem to affect performance in any...

    Front wheelspin in wet weather?

    Hi guys, I drive an RCZ 200 MKI & I'm just curious about the wet weather performance and if what I'm experiencing is normal? I used to drive a 140bhp '08 Civic and even in fairly heavy rain, I could put the foot down quite comfortably in 3rd and not have much in the way of wheelspin. Now I...

    Request: pre-emptive engine car tips

    Hi guys, got my RCZ GT 200 MK1 in March this year and I can't begin to describe how much I'm loving it. However, I have already had a wee engine scare a month or so back when the dreaded 'engine repair' needed light came on. Luckily, this turned out to just be an ignition coil, so wasn't an...

    Alloy repair

    Hi folks, is anyone able to recommend a good alloy repair service in or around the Edinburgh/Fife area? It's reasonably subtle, but I've just noticed the other day that the previous owner of my RCZ has done an almost 360 degree solid scrape around every single wheel. Looks like it's been...

    Lovely black RCZ at Craigleith traffic lights, Edinburgh

    Had my RCZ just over a month, and it's the first time I've seen another one on the road. Lovely black number coming the other way, gave you a wave back 👋😁

    Engine fault - repair needed

    Insert utterly devastated emoji here... Owned my RCZ for less than a month, and it's been a month of unbridled joy and happiness from a car I instantly fell in love with. Sadly, just went to drive home to Edinburgh and 5 mins into the journey my dash beeped and I got an "engine fault - repair...

    Remapping an RCZ 200?

    Probably been asked a million times before, but can't seem to find any threads for the 200, only the 156 and Diesel... Just curious to know if anyone out there has had a stage 1 remap done on a petrol RCZ 200? I've recently got a 2011 with low mileage, but I've heard chat about remaps improving...

    Car wash question...

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a specific thread. Is it safe enough to take an RCZ through a bog-standard machine car wash eg: the one at my local Sainsbury's garage? I've only just had my RCZ delivered yesterday, but it travelled 300 miles to me so I'd definitely...

    Imminent delivery of my RCZ

    Hi folks, just thought I'd say hey. I've got an RCZ 200 GT ordered which is getting delivered on Wed 30th (I was due to pick up last Monday, but I tested positive for f**king Covid). I've been driving a pretty standard 1.8 Civic 5dr '08 since 2012, so to say I'm excited about getting behind...
