What happens when you have 20 8's to turn into racing cars???
 

A lot of used (0 Kms) spares....
;)

Heh thats great!

I dont supose you have a nav systen in the pile you wanna sell me cheap :D

Sweet Jebus, how much is shipping to NYC from Italy?

I think it costs too much (shipping overseas).
Soon we'll put a sort of "udsed not used spares list and price" on our website.

Gutted 8s. Couldn't you just sell them back to Mazda? Too bad there's no ebay in Italy.

you ever seen that movie national treasure??? this would almost fall into that category

Do you think you could have make those pictures any bigger?? I have having to scroll left to right!

Just curious, how much does the average gutted out RX-8 weigh now?

EBays in Italy exist since a lot!!!!!!!!
But.....i don't know why...everything is still here.
I think in 2005 our we'll find the way to put everything on sale.
We have tons of rims, navigs, seats, AC, doorpanels, clutches, radios, dashes...
:)

Nice Q.:
Now the car is about 1130 Kg.
Bout we'll be ablo to save 15Kg more with the new rims (magnesium alloy), new dash (with telemetry).

The my'04 racing car has about 255hp with 98 ron fuel.
The my'05 will have about 16-18hp more at the same rev (more torque), a new rear LSD, new flywheel, new ECU mapping, new DSC mapping.
The car complies the FIA grp.N rules.

We're still working on the supercharged version.

Ciao

Just a scan from a national newspaper....

No frills but the car is 500lbs lighter without the new rims!!! Just imagine.. :eek:

Thanks for posting hfalex, you submit interesting threads...

;)

Id love to have the tan seats in my rex. ID buy them for 200 bux lol. that and spare seats. why wouldnt you want new seats 10 years later. like a brand new interior.

WOW!!! You send me a few of the headlights and I'll name my next child "hfalex". :D :D

How is that pronounce?

Let me know when you psot that website info on parts/prices. I have a friend in Naples you could ship to and I seriously want a nav screen/housing setup. DOnt care if there's no actual nav receiver but if I can ge that too, it would be AWESOME.

I could go for those leather seats :D

I think lots of us would be interested in your spares. I could do with an 18" wheel to replace the one that got scuffed going through the car wash. Very interesting and entertaining pictures to post. Thanks.

Thank hfalex! ~500 lbs of savings huh? Nice to know!

Not that it matters now, but why didn't you guys just buy base models to begin with?

You guys could benefit from a large USA group buy :D

yeh im with the idea of a group buy... im with everyone on the new seat idea and i like Benedick need a new wheel but dont wanna pay mazdas price... mines a lil more than scuffed :(

Put it all in a container....send it to me....and I'll sell it for you :D

I want leather seats too, I'm going cloth right now.. :(

Hey guys for sure all theese spares have to be sold, but i'm here on this forum just to spend some time talking about the '8 and i'm not sure it is correct to place an advice here.
I'm not even a sales man...you know what i mean.
What i can do now is talking to whom is working on this and tell him to place the spares list and price ASAP, but on the Astra website.
Last but not least...since today we're closed for XMas holydays...even if at east 2 guys will be @ Astra always.
:)

Prices.......
 

Lots of interesting stuff on the Astra racing site -

Here is there 'costs' for the street racing parts they used....

S

I can set up a group buy on the seats if you guys want as I am interested in a set, I have a RECV company that can get a pretty cheap price on a crate from .it to us, only bad part is the distro when it gets here... I'm in Miami, FL.

If the price isnt too bad, put me on the list for a complete set of black leather seats and perhaps the trim panels as well. If we can get them to Miama, I am sure an extra shipping charge can get them from there to our door. ;)

If anyone does want to set up a Group Buy on any of this stuff, please get with me.

And hfalex, I too enjoy your posts. If you would like to use RX8Club.com as a conduit to sell all these "spares" please PM me and we'll get you set up as a vendor. :)

This is a first pic of what we're going to present on jan.
A RX8 Sport cup replica.
It's a RX8 full optinal, with racing engine (260hp), adjustable set-up (dampers and sway bars), carbon fibre rear wing and front bumper, inconel Xost, racing gearbox and rear diff...
Every car will be built choosing the color of the interiors and a silver plate numbered near the gearstick.
;)

exactly :cool:

Nice, can I just trade my car in on that? I too am interested in seats and nav...

If i was one of your sponser and saw how our money was going to extra cars that are being gutted/sold for parts... I would cut you off instantly.

Seeing how I am not a sponser, and a regular 8 owner... When will you be posting the parts that are for sale?

Outta curiosity wat freq range are ur radio stations in Italy ?

Getting the nav would be nice - but I'm not sure if that is a realistic project. I remember posts here on the forum that retrofitting the navigation system would be a major pain because there is quite a bit that needs to be replaced. Some major cable harnesses? :confused:
If that's not the case and installing the nav could be done without spending 1000 bucks for labor, I'd be interested too - does anyone know for sure what is involved?

BigOLundh: what do you mean exactly?

Zavhan: from 86 to 108

Nice thread. Very interesting information.
I think the nav system is one part most people will try to get...

Hfalex, I'm currently looking for a replacement of the left rear bumper guard and fastener(s). PM me about the price in € if you have one to sell. Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in a nav tray.

How much just for the dash mechanism in the nav systems??I don't want the nav.Just the screen and the mechanism and off course the remote in the panel to open it....:) Shipped in small distance,Greece???

We are some guys here in GREECE that would love a lot of your parts

where exactly in ITALY are you?? maybe we can arrange a 3 days vacations :)

i 'd love to have the nav mechanism ( just the screen and the remote)

Hey guys, i just posted some curious pics.... i'm not a sales man!!!!

About theese spares.
The best thing i guess is a group buy, both for europeans but especially for people overseas.
:)

Where can we find prices for the things we want from the "used parts"?

soon.

Too late - from this day on you're the RX-8 club ace spare parts sales manager. ;)

I just need the Nav Dash panel. I don't need the whole Nav system.

As you can see we are lot out of there wanting the nav dash mechanism...So we are waiting for some prices...Keep us informed Alex.. :)

Ok...but please hold on a while 'cause of the Xmas holydays... ;)
