History
The car trophied (5th) at Nationals this year, and was in 2nd by .032 after day 1 in the capable hands of Mr. Doug Rowse. The revalved Koni's worked very well on the HPT surface. The car was also among the lighter BS cars, coming in under 2810 on the HPT Scale.

Locally the car has performed quite well, paxing in the 990-980 range as consistently as it's drivers can put it there. As long as you are not running Hoosiers you can expect great tire longevity, 710's will last upwards of 120 runs pretty consistently on the FIR lot, making for a very economical open class car. There is no need to trailer to events or put a hitch on the car, there is room for wheels, co-driver, and luggage for any event.

My first car was a '79 Rx7.(By the door a late '78) My interest in cars growing up was based around rotaries, I helped crew for an ITA ( B ) class rx7 and came home from being born in a rotary powered vehicle, so of course the Rx8 was the logical choice for my first new car, so you can fairly assume that this car has been well maintained and cared for. The car (and OZ wheels) get washed after and before each event, no scouring or baked on bug spots, and MAYBE 1-2 rock chips on the front bumper cover from freeway driving. Regular fluid changes, NEVER thrashed the engine when cold, proper engine break in procedure followed.

$16,500 OBO takes it all.

Feel free to give me a call at ANY time or email (work firewall blocks rx8club) with any questions. Thanks-

I posted this in your sccaforums thread, and I'll mention it here as well. If you're willing to sell the OZ Ultraleggera's let me know what you'd like for them. My co-driver (moxnix) and I would be interested in picking up a used set.

Congrats - I hope things work out.

Would this pending sale be for the car in autocross trim or back-to-stock trim? i.e. would this sale include the OZ Ultraleggera's?
