ah, i thought that you said you only had 9k on the chassis not the engine. nevermind then their quote is pretty close.

 

i don't like the new 8's as much as the 1st gen, but to each there own, I am sure they look good fixed up, i just don't like stock at all... but new redesigned engine and r3 with .477s in it will be nice!!!

 

so the r3 plan didnt go through, im stuck between getting another rx8 or getting a 07 mazdaspeed6....im broken up any help guys.

 

get another rx8. you will regret not getting another. i know from experience

 

^+1 get the 8 youll regret getting anything else

 

I feel ya bro. My 8 just got totalled, it is being towed away on friday.

 

So update from the insurance company: after i sent them the documents of when the engine was replaced. They reviewed it and called me back stating that the new engine made the car value go up. Now they will be writing me a check for $13,300. I am much happier with that. So what i plan on doing now is i found a perfect clone of my old car buy that for 10k cash and the rest ill buy me some new coils,accessport,and a metra kit.

 

that is definitely good to hear. you will definitely be glad that you went back with another 8. i did the same thing you are going to do... i just found a near clone of my previous one

 

Looks like you make out pretty nicely!

 

Update?

 

I bought a 04 silver gt with 77k miles, it has a new clutch and aem cold air intake. I have 4k left from the check so I'm looking into mods soon.

 

glad to see that you decided to stick with the rx8

 

I'd hang onto a little bit of that to take care of the car unless you are solid on it's performance. If you really want to go upgrades, you should look at the coils, spark plugs, etc first and foremost.

 

Got any pics of the new one?

 

plus one on change the coils plugs etc then mod away!

 

^+1 You gatta make sure all the little simple things are sound before you go adding all the complicated expensive stuff

 

^ He already said he was replacing the coils

 

^Yea, but thats one of many to check/replace

 

^ True that.

 

Too bad you didnt get that black R3 though, sure looks hawt!

 

Black is good, but blue is better

 

White on black is teh hawtness tho! A white R3 w/ black rim's

 

Grasshopper has much to learn....

 

Just upgrade the coils for god sakes BHR FTW!

 

Dude that R3 looks so sick

Sorry to hear about the accident
