I may have missed it but is it seem welded? 8 point cage or 10? If 8 point and not seem welded I may have a few candidates....

Price has just been reduced $1,500! And we just replaced the clutch with a new ACT 4 puck sprung clutch kit including plate, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing and seal.

Eric,

I still have a friend that is very interested. We are looking at three different RX8 racecars. I am kinda just in the middle helping out. Could you send me in the right direction for results sheets by any chance? either on the grand-am site or possibly my laps.

PS: my e-mail is: sblethenatRSTPerformance.com if it bounced back let me know. it gets full fast!

E-mail message
 

Steve, I can't seem to send an e-mail message to the address provided. It seems that it's incomplete. Could you please double check and let me know?

Thank you,



Eric

facebook works, it shows up on my phone like a text message and I see we are now friends :)

Price REDUCED another $500! This is a super clean and complete RX8 race car. Runs in numerous classes in SCCA and NASA.

Check it out.

I love this car Eric! I wish that we could have come through with the other buyer for you as I would have loved to work on it and drive it at some point!

Stephen

Thanks Steve
 

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the help. I was wondering if you knew anyone whou could use a pilot bearing puller and bearing drift for the RX8? I bought both from Mazdatrix when we changed the cluth out and they were a live saver.

I'm asking 95 dollars for the pair and they cost 120.

If you know anyone shopping they're way cool tools and better than the Habor Freight stuff you could source.

Thank you,



Eric

I might actually take that. Let me find out if we have one already?...

Stephen

Did you have these tools?
 

Hi Steve, just checking back. Did you determine if you guys have this pilot bearing puller from Mazdatrix?

Thank you,



Eric

Sent you an email from this site. Looking for pictures please.

Car was sold, pretty sure he still has the tools FS
