Just picked up a 2004 Rx8 6spd in Winning Blue Metallic with a possible blown motor. Low RPM knocking indicates it has bad stationary gear bearings. Not sure if it will be just replacing those or a full rebuild is in order, but either way, this should be a fun build.

Car is extremely clean, and after i get my hands on it tomorrow, the real fun will begin. I plan i doing a full cut and polish to it, and potentially doing some interior work as I do upholstery work as a side job. Im sure i will have posts and pictures to follow of some of the work i do.
