2005 RX8 6spd with FD SWAP 13B // 423RWHP
 

OK guys..

This hurts...

Life is changing, cant move on with this car anymore.
Have to part with my baby. Many of you know the hard work, money and time put into the vehicle. Unfortuantely, she must go as I have no time for it anymore.
I would really like to see it go to someone within the community, but at this point, whoever wants one of the baddest rx8s ever built, will take it.

For those who don't know about the vehicle... Mods are listed Below..

I am the ORIGINAL OWNER of this car and have put well over $30,000 into it on top of the $33,000 window sticker. I Understand the rx8 values dropped significantly. The swap today would cost around $18000 to complete for the engine + the other mods and + vehicle. I know'you dont get what you put in' and blah blah blah. With all the options and improvements, I am asking what I feel to be a fairly low price for the vehicle due to the stage in my life. I will consider reasonable offers, but will definitely not consider low-ballers. I dont owe anything on the car, I dont have to sell it, It needs nothing and insurance is cheap. If your truly interested, PM me and I will be more than happy to show you the car. Members on the board have seen it, everything is legitimate. I am doing this out of the will to move on. This decision came to me real fast. I slept on it. and Im prepared to take the hit. Thank you for reading.

Serious inquiries only. Please.

didn't you just get it back???

Man I feel sad.

damn GLWS!

:eek:Damn you selling your 8 that's crazy I guess there something really important that came up.. I can voucher that his 8 is a clean BEAST!!!!!!!! I see his car in person. well GLWS I hope you find a really good home for it..

Maybe if you had some videos of your car you'd sell it faster.. ::yesnod:

most ridiculously awesome 8 on the streets.. Jim, we gotta do a vid and we'll post it up. And i can do better pics than the ones you got there.. hit me up man

^^ Nice

GlWS

Not so sure about that. Have you heard of RGonza? He makes our cars look like a Yugo.

Does the a/c , p/s and all that good stuff still work??

Yes.

Hi, while I sit here at work and daydream, is there any chance you can post up more engine bay pics and possibly a vid of the motor? I need something to work with to make these day dreams more realistic. If it's too much work, it's all good. I understand. I'm not a serious buyer, just another admirer.

Nice car dude, GLWS

Jim is a stand up guy! Sorry to see it leave! I've driven in this car and its set up as nice as it can be!

^ +1 on that!

Thanks for all your help!

I love this car!:biggthump

Very interested in the car pc as well as the dash kit. Your 8 looks awesome. Just wondering what you're asking for the parts.

he's not parting.

Car is sold to me :)

The dude that buys this car will be one lucky mother fucker.. lol GLWS

I will be at the local queens meet here & there with my next project - twin turbo SRT8 Jeep.
Made some great friends with this forum & have gained a lot of useful info using it
I hope to see you guys build some more badass rotaries.

Great! Congrats to both!

This is one of the most unique RX8's I have seen. Amazing work!

Daaammnn.... I live in Melbourne, FL too! firecran, you gotta let me see this!

I know this is completely off topic and I'm sorry you have to sell your ride. But I was thinking about doing a fd swap. I was wondering how much it ran ya? N were their any major issues you ran into when you did the swap?
