SOLD thanks for playing

Selling my beloved 2005 Titanium Gray Mazda RX8 6 speed manual transmission with 43xxx miles. I love her to death, but I feel it's time for me to move on.

The Bad:

* The fuel pump gave out, so I swapped in a Walbro 255, and she's good as new
* Front bumper is dented slightly due to a 5 mph fender bender in the snow
* Minor scratches and dents from daily driving
* One wheel has a dent in it from hitting a pothole, but holds air no problem
* Air pump is on it's way out, and I had it unplugged because I ran catless

The Goods:

* Super healthy engine
* Brand new fuel pump, which can support way more fuel flow (a must if you want to boost)
* Realignment and rebalanced wheels
* Only minor dents, not even visible
* No major mechanical issues
* Clean car fax
* Changed Coils, Wires and plugs just a few months ago
* Changed oil religiously every 3000 miles at valvoline with part synthetic 5w20
* ALWAYS used premium gas
* I babied this car, never dropped clutch/launched etc, and never tracked

Mods:

* AEM True Cold Air Intake
* Tanabe GF210 Lowering Springs
* Buschur Mini Battery + Custom Bracket (to clear up space for a turbo kit, and it cranks better than stock)
* Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit
* Seibon TSI Matte Finish Hood (very rare)
* EvoR Carbon Fiber Matte Finish Front Lip
* O.Z. Ultraleggeras 18x8 +45
* Matte Black Roof Overlay
* Agency Power Catback Exhaust
* Nexen 3000 tires with 60% life left

Would you be willing to part with the corners? i can either trade you my frosted white ones from Rotary FX or we can do cash and i could send you my OEM stock ones as part of it. After i got the white i realized that with all the black outs i want to do id much rather have the tinted ones.

But on a side note im sorry ot see this happen... but i mean with no futureyour life goes nowhere so i mean i guess you do what you have to do. And then later on you can come back and join us again. Maybe with an R3 ;-]

 

duuuuude good luck with the sale..

 

sorry to see this......
are u not partin the tanabes? i'll take them

 

Sux dude. I hope you don't leave the scene

 

thanks guys, but i'll definitely still hang around. rx8club is family

 

when your done school and ready to get a new 8, use your will power to not buy the GT3 across the road.
Good luck on the sale! AEM CAI = CD's RX8? I would like it if you change your mind.

 

Wow dude no way!!!! Ive seen your 8 come along way from that first Queens meet i went to.
Somebody will be getting a great car

 

thanks so much dennis

 

Hey if u part out ur bhr wires I'd be interested. Lmk a price and miles. Is the the bhr ignition kit or just plug wires

 

aww man, I hate to see this... Don't leave me Ghost...

 

Bro I cant believe your selling your car. This is a sad day........

 

taking the bus to school now? =x whats the next move?

 

not parting yet. don't ask me till i put up the thread..

yeah it's sad.. but i won't leave the scene. you guys can't get rid of me that easily

next step is uncertain right now.. but you guys will be the first to know

 

wow, so what is the story about the engine? do you even sell the engine?
steven

 

engine was shot. only the housing was reusable. it's for sale

 

can i have the evo r lip ... dibs........

 

He's not parting out - he's selling the car as a whole for now so back off with the 'dibs' crap until he sets up his 'F/S PART OUT' thread.


Good luck with the sale gh8st. Really sorry to see you go...hope you find yourself back in another one soon.

 

thanks atilla vultures everywhere... haha

 

Damn, bump for a fellow Korean

 

^Bump for good guy on a sad day =,[

 

how does the 8 affect you concentrating on your future???

 

it's a money pit. i want to get something more reliable, and much less gas consuming. not to mention, lower insurance rates...

 

Eh even though it sucks that is the truth...

sad to c people let the 8 go still..

 

I just texted you.... I don't think you should do it. If you do a really careful look at the math with good estimations, getting another car will save you SOME money, but not very much. Especially with the shitty low resale value... Insurance is mostly about where you're located and your personal stats and driving record, not what car you drive. I pay $1200 for the year and live the same place you do. Not cheap, but not crazy either, and a corolla would still cost me $800...
Heh...if you just stop modding the damn car you still have a REALLY sick car.....I forget that until I drive other cars, it's easy to foget how nice the whole experience is.... Mod for reliability rather than performance. It's not a money pit if you don't throw money into it!

Yeah it eats gas and that adds up. Figure very roughly $1000 a year more in gas than with some econobox. But figure the immediate losses on the car.....I'm pretty sure if you do a long-term cost analysis it will take many years for you to break even by getting a cheaper car.
True when I hear "engine blown" I think major expenses....but I thought you got a second engine? Havn't you already paid the heavy expenses in non-refundable fashion?

If I can get through med school with my 8 and not be spending *too* much money on it, you can definitely do school and work and still enjoy your car too. I think you should reconsider selling, I'm more than willing to sit down and help you plan **** out more if that would help at all, rather than see an enthusiastic rx8 guy jump ship....

I'm not being grumpy cause I think you're making a bad decision, it's just a shame, you've put so much work into the car and the community, I hate to see it go.

Good luck and lets catch up some time either way.....
