Well guys, its time to part with the rx8. Its been great being here for the past 7 years or so. Thanks for everything

This car runs perfectly, and has been adult owned, and meticulously maintained its whole life by someone who knows the right way to take care of a rotary engine. The basics:
2005 white water pearl RX-8 GT
A/T
84,879 miles
Leather Interior,Sunroof,Power everything, Bose Soundsystem (with 10" sub), aftermarket Navigation/DVD/Sat. system integrated to stock steering wheel controls

The engine was replaced by Mazda at approximately 26,000 miles right after I purchased the car. It had a small compression issue after the last owner, so they went ahead and replaced the full core, putting only about 55k on the engine currently. The 8 year, 100k Mazda warranty STILL covers the car until the end of this year for any engine issues. Now for the upgrades

Injen Intake System
Revi air duct to feed air
Shine Autobahn vented side skirts
Evo-R front lip mounted on stock bumper
Kenstyle Rear Bumper, with custom Lebren LED rotary brake light
Authentic KEI Office eyelids,
PRC INGS +1 Rear Spoiler
custom di-noc CF interior kit
AVIC-D3 Head Unit (Navigation, DVD, Sat., CD, etc)
Prosport Evo digital gauges (Volt,Oil temp, Pressure)
Custom stainless Catback exhaust with titanium 3.5" tips
Drilled and slotted rotors front and back
MB Motoring Concave Wheels, painted Sepang BMW Bronze
+ 30 9.5 wide Nitto Tires, plenty of tread left
2" lowered, KONI Yellow shocks and Eibach Springs (new, 5000k ago)
Custom LED halo tail lights (one of a kind), sprayed Red with reverse light cutouts
2012 Nissan GTR hood vents, installed into hood
High Flow Midpipe
Lightweight pulleys
8000k hid

There is so much to list for this car. All maintenance has been done on this car over the years, and documented with receipts. Spark Plus/Coils/Battery/Oil/Motor Mounts are ALL new within the last 6,000 miles.
This car does have a High Flow Cat pipe on it, so it DOES throw a Check Engine Light every so often. It will come and go, but for inspection purposes you may want to get an OEM pipe, or buy a Cobb Accessport. I can point you in the right direction for that. This car drives amazing, and has a great deep tone to the exhaust.
I think I have priced this car fair, with all the money I have put into the car over the years. Feel free to email or PM with any questions (ddarcangel@yahoo.com)

Ill throw in the autobahn bumper I had on the car before, check my album for more pics. These are the most recent below
Sorry no part outs. Car is located in Northern Virginia, about 30 minutes west of DC

You have A/T on the 5th line? Looks like M/T in the picture?

Great looking car, good luck with the sale.

..there might be in a few weeks. So far no bites, I hate to keep dropping the price down. Sometimes customizing hurts a car like these I guess. Its up on ebay now though so I'll see how that goes first.

Yup, its an A/T

The car is awesome, someone will certainly be interested. Modded cars are harder to find a home for but when the right guy comes around that can appreciate all the cash and work into it I'm sure you won't have a problem selling. I paid a little extra for my 2nd 8 which was highly modified and well maintained like yours. The AT is probably hurting it more than the mods

No matter what personality differences are around this forum, this place has saved me THOUSANDS of dollars by allowing me figure out issues with the car on my own. Thanks a lot guys, good luck with your rx8s!!!! Maybe ill be back in the future
