FS: 2006 VR 6MT with goodies

FS: 2006 Velocity Red 6MT with goodies, now with PHOTOS
I've got a third baby on the way, so I've got to sell this baby. I can't put three infant seats in the back of my RX-8.
This is a 2006 RX-8 Base 6MT in Velocity Red Mica with quite a list of goodies:
-Magnaflow twin exit exhaust w/ big tips (not sure the size)
-Eibach Pro-Kit springs
-Tokico D-Spec shocks
-JIC-Magic polished aluminum strut tower brace (yes, that thing works!), Engine cover modified to clear the thicker bar
-K&N air filter (drop in)
-Cobb AccessPort with custom MazdaManiac tuning (as in Jeff sat in my car and tuned it)
-Progress Technology front/rear anti-roll bars (hollow front)
-Energy Suspension greaseable anti-roll bar bushings
-Energy Suspension control arm bushings (not installed, new)
-Centerforce lightweight aluminum flywheel and performance clutch
-Extreme Dimensions NT-5 rear wing in OEM VR paint
-Shine Auto Project "Burnout" front lip in OEM VR paint (stored in garage for shows)
-Razo shift **** (340GR ball in black chrome)
-factory speakers replaced with Bazooka Audio door and rear deck speakers (I'm using a sub and box currently, but I have a VR Mica-painted 10" Bazooka tube too, chrome mounts)
-Wiring from battery to trunk for amplifier, concealed
-Mazda iPod adapter, run through center console to cupholder area
-1 set of "Shinka" dark chrome OEM wheels (some curb rash, got these used but straight)
-2 spare OEM silver wheels (in perfect shape with extra tires mounted)
-4 tires are 85% new Dunlop Sports, currently mounted on the Shinka wheels, 225/40-18 ZR (I used 19" wheels for 2 years, these are the original tires which have seen only light use).
-Muteki lightweight lug nuts
-extra sound deadening applied in 3rd doors and trunk floor, DEI Dynamat
All original parts stored in my garage (exhaust, roll bars, shocks and springs, shifter ****, speakers, OEM flywheel and clutch with 85% life remaining). Brakes were replaced with a Wilwood kit at about 11k, and were reinstalled at approximately 32k, at least 85% of pad life remaining front and rear. 95% rotor life remaining. Transmission fluid swapped to Motul synthetic. Throwout and pilot bearings replaced when the Centerforce flywheel and clutch was installed, just because we were in there and we could!
Mileage is 34,070 to date. Engine has never been touched, doesn't need it. this late 06 model received the oil metering flash just 2 weeks after I bought it in August of 2006. Oil changes like clockwork. AccessPort software with oil metering turned up to keep the seals nice and happy. Non-smoker, obsessively-clean person, no window tint. Mazda replaced original headlights due to "delaminating plexiglass", so they look like new too. Non-sunroof car, the lightest one they make. Weighs in well under 3000 lbs! Cloth seats. Goes like a banshee, Magnaflow exhaust burbles just like a good rotary should.
I owe $17,000 on it right now so Best Offer close to that takes the prize. I MUST get a car with room for a 3rd seat in the rear and I'm leaning towards an older Audi A4 Quattro sedan or wagon.

Yes, OEM parts removed from the car are stored in my garage.
No, I'm not selling any more parts. Not the sways, not the front lip, nothing. It all goes as one package.
I just need to get out of this loan in order to get a "baby hauling" machine.
Photos coming soon... hopefully. It's 104 degrees outside right now and it's not yet noon here! I'm waiting until evening now.

BTW-as a note... I blew the speaker in the Bazooka tube (my fault, wired it wrong one day) but most all cheap dual voice coil 10" subs will fit and sound great. Stupid rooking wiring mistake. It sounded and looked fantastic before that.
My car was displayed at the SEMA show in 2007, and at HIN LA in 2008. Three straight years at Sevenstock, including the Mazdatrix display in 2007 and Rotaryspeed Magazine's booth in 2008. Also displayed for Bridgestone Tires at three Formula Drift events in SoCal.

We're looking at it as a back-up vehicle to the "Magic Bus", our 07 Nissan Quest minivan. I just don't want to spend the dough on a 3rd vehicle, though there's one I'm considering getting if the numbers work out right.
03 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T... would certainly have more room for the kiddos!

Traded to John Hine Mazda in Temecula
Hi all,
I've traded my car off to John Hine Mazda in Temecula, CA for a Mazda6 for me and my growing family.
On the trip home I averaged 28.7 miles per gallon. From the 270 hp. 3.7 liter V-6! Evidently Mazda does know how to build something with good fuel economy!
I'll have some stock parts for sale, a couple wheels, the front lip, and the Cobb AccessPort up in the next couple of days on the forum. Time for a garage sale!
Thanks for the support, everyone! It's been fun!
