Maryland junkyard rx8's?

im looking for any rx8s sitting in junkyards near maryland or surrounding states (5 hours is probably the limit).

im looking for 3 rx8 rotors (that means i need two cars) and i dont mind pulling apart engines to get to them.

anyone know of any?

I really doubt there would be any rx-8s in a junkyard. Considering that the parts are so expensive, if it's in a junkyard, someone would have sold the parts by now.

Sure, on ebay. I've only see them being parted out. A week or two ago there were a huge number of rx-8 taillights on ebay. It's probably hard to find any late model cars in junkyards, but especially difficult to find late model foreign cars. No harm trying though.

Check out www.pullapart.com. They have five locations in the south and are trying to open one of these in my neighborhood in Philadelphia but some members of the neighborhood are fighting them tooth and nail. They have one in Charlotte, NC...not sure if you'd be willing to drive that far but I thought I'd let you know about it. You can register the car you are looking for parts for and when one comes in they'll notify you.

Chances are if there is an rx8 in a junkyard, it is probably silver. This means that any parts taken off of that car are probably cursed or tainted by the curse. Good luck to you sir. We have a ton of junkyards here in Jersey, in and around the newark area. Ive gotten many a junkyard part from them. If I can find the phone number and remember, ill pm you with it and you can call up them up and see if there have been any recent deposits. Be wary of crashed silver eights though

this curse is insane! i first read about it yesterday on the forums and lo and behold...today i saw a silver 8 going down the highway on a flatbed with the front end all mangled up.

definately let me know if you know of an 8 in a junkyard. ill make the drive to new jersey if theres a pretty decent one that hasnt been stripped too bad. im looking mostly for engine components, even if they are banged up a little.
