2004 Rx8, Red, M/T, 142K, $1000, San Diego
 

2004 RX8 for Sale. Red. M/T
142214K miles
33,500 on new Atkins engine.

Car starts and runs perfectly until it reaches temperature, then it cuts out as if there is a kill switch. Does not act like it is purely compression, but for the sake of this sale assume it is. I don't have the time or space to figure it out anymore, so I am letting it go. I think it could be a great deal for the right person.

History:
At about 98K the weak 2004 transmission was replaced with a 2006 (we were told under 60K).
At the same time installed a new clutch from Good-Win Racing.
1 61-0247 Stock Replacement RX8 Clutch Kit-Complete $299.00

New engine was installed in January 2016. Mileage was 108700 at time of install.
It was a new Atkins rebuild of an engine that only 17,000 miles on it.

Current new parts:
Installed Black Halo coils, wires and new plugs to see if they would solve the problem. They didn't. The car has been started with them and brought up to temperature 4 or 5 times with them installed. It has not been driven with them at all.
Black Halo Racing Performance Spark Plug Wires for OEM Coils × 1, $60.00
Black Halo Racing Globally-Compliant Performance Ignition Coil, Four Coils Only, $399.00
New fuel pump (new in box): Delphi FG1250 Fuel Module, $172 from Amazon. (Grasping at straws to see if maybe the fuel pump was cutting out. Never installed)
KYB 551115 Gas-a-Just Gas Strut: $143.20 for 2 (new in box)
KYB 551116 Gas-a-Just Gas Strut: $182 for 2(new in box)
Mazda Shop Manual.

The Bad:
Cat is gutted.
Needs new windshield (February storm blew over basketball hoop and the rim landed square in the middle of the windshield. Didn't leave a scratch on the car.)

Cost of included new parts alone is over $950. Asking $1000 for everything.

Feel free to ask any questions.
