I bought my dream car 07 RX8 Grand Touring for approx $33k and I've put some mods in to protect the durability of lets say $2k.
I put the BHR Yukon coils and fuel pump in at 23k miles and Bilstein b12 kit at 35k miles while it's at 37k total mileage.
That was after track days found misfire which could kill engine and the stock weak shocks which had different height measurements
People said to weaker spring shocks but answer was better air shocks for 24 inch all around.
So I was able to fix car and use 1/2 ounce per gal premix oil to further save engine.
My yearly hold cost is approx $1000/year taxes and insurance all these years so it's a drag, but I could get what 8K maybe and besides Imma crippled and can store tools in it next to my daily 2014 BMW X1.
At 73, I coud go any year but might have 20 left.
I've never had to repair anything except the defective 6 speed auto trans I found 14 years ago at track day.
Yes, It's the dreaded 6sped auto which you'll tell me is ****, but I can connect battery after 3 months storage and drive on road for 10o+ miles and get 25 to 27 mpg if no AC on.
My dream of fixing this car from listening to RX8 club is priceless.
I'd rather give to some excited relative than someone come find my worth like at a garage sale.

 

Does anyone know if the RX-8 05 model on the right side takes one or two engine mounts?

 

Hey, i'm tryin to find the location of the crank shaft position sensor on a s2 i also have a s1 but noticed there not in the same spot do you know where its at thank you.

 

How do i get out of the car without getting static shocked???? Ahhhh

 

Do you have cloth seats? It's usually static charge from your clothes rubbing on the synthetic fabric. Can happen in any car and it's worse if your clothes are also synthetics. You can grab the roof, A pillar or some other metal part of the car before stepping out to discharge

 

Yes. I don't have any interest in leather seats. Maybe there's a racing seat that sits a little bit lower and doesn't cause static buildup.
