I'm listing my daily driven rx8 for sale. Purchased back in 2020 with the dream of turning into an R3+ build. Now I'm trying to focus on just racing more, and don't need a 3rd Rx8.

Seats are a custom install, the drivers side mounts were removed and installed with a custom built mount. Passenger seat is also custom but the OEM mounting points were left alone. You can put the OEM seat on that side if you like. These seats are Recaro Sportster CS seats in leather with heaters.


Modifications:

• Racing Beat REVi Intake and Duct Combo
• Racing Beat REV8 Exhaust System
• Racing Beat AC and Oil Cooler Screens
• Recaro Sportster CS / Leather w/ Heaters - Driver Side
• Recaro Sportster CS / Leather w/ Heaters - Passenger Side
• Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Tires
• Mazdaspeed Wheels - Made by Rays Engineering 18x8
• Mazdaspeed Strut Tower Braces - Front and Rear (rear not installed yet)
• Philips LED fog lamp bulbs
• Valentine V1 Radar Detector Gen1 - Hardwired

Other changes done to the car but not really a "MOD":

• Mazda Cargo Tray
• Mazda Trunk Cargo Net
• Mazda Rev C ignition coils
• Racing Beat Ignition Wires
• BennettBuilt Gas Cap Holder
• Mazda Cobb **** - In Blue

What I also have but is not included in the sale price above but is at the option of the purchaser:

• Full R3 bumper, front fender plastics, and front bumper air damn. All brand new from Mazda. Bumper is not painted / primer.
• Both R3 side skirts from Mazda, brand new in boxes. From Mazda, painted in the factory color silver 38P - Liquid Silver Metallic
• Large rear spoiler - not color matching but brand new in box, includes struts
• Complete R3 door cards, front and rear. Rear portion of the door cards are 8/10. Front door cards are 7/10.
• R3 Steering Wheel, Brake Handle, Center Console Covers (front and rear / 2 pairs) One set is 9/10, the other is 7/10.
• OEM GT wheels with TPMS Sensors
• Mazdaspeed Brake Pads - Front - brand new

Pros:

• Car starts up hot or cold no problem
• Maintenance is current
• Brand new windshield
• No door dings AT ALL, professionally removed by this guy. He spent about 8 hours on the car.
• Factory Satellite Radio - STILL WORKS.. We (previous owner and I) think someone paid a lifetime membership for it.
• All windows tinted with tint that is nearly 99% clear. Previous owner installed it, couldn't comment on the brand.

Cons:

• Previous owner was rear ended, when they fixed it the drilled the license plate into the bumper. Very annoying.
• Tail lights do fog a bit when it rains
• Part of the roof was repainted by one of the 2 previous owners, it's not bad but it's not great. I'd have it resprayed within the next 5 years or so.
• One of the Mazdaspeed wheels has a small bend, still usable, another the finish isn't perfect.
• Passenger dash does have a crack.

Bump for a stand up guy that does things the right way.

Here is a video walk around of the car after I cleaned it up. I'll be uploading the photos I took later tonight.

Here are issues that I mentioned above on the first post:

Cracked passenger side dash cover:



This wheel I scared from cleaning solution:



This wheel has a slight bend to it. These wheels are surprisingly strong, I was told that it might cause it to crack if I fixed it. So I put on a new tire and it balanced out.


Closeup of the gash that was smoothed down so not to damage the new tire. The tire that was on this wheel had a total blow out at over 80mph.. These cars are badass... was able to safely stop on the side of the freeway.



And the respray a previous owner did that is foggy and I'd suggest redoing at some point. It's not noticeable unless you look for it, and it helps to be inside. It's not the whole roof, just a portion of the rear.

Car still for sale. Any questions feel free to post them here.

Soooo.. the main issue I had that was holding me up with this car was the seat height while wearing a helmet and the sun roof. After this weekend working with my local fabricator we were able to engineer a seat bracket that lowered my seating height so I can fit. Because of that, and because this car IS awesome and I do love it. I'm going to take it off the market. I'm shooting for Laguna Seca in July if anyone is interested on going. Mods I'll attempt to delete this thread, if I can't, please close it.
