Year: 2005
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $10500
Mileage: 62500
Color: Velocity Red Mica
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): CA
I used to be very active here and learned a great deal from RX8 Club and also made a great deal of friends here. My mother recently lost her struggle with breast cancer and I decided to take her Lexus SC400 and sell the RX8
. I've always been a meticulous owner and more importantly - a rotary enthusiast!Here's a little bit of information about the car:
2005 Mazda RX8
Touring
6 Speed Manual
Velocity Red Mica Exterior
Cloth Gray Interior
Mileage: 62,xxx miles
- Engine replaced by Tustin Mazda at 53,xxx miles due to low compression
- Factory Catalytic Converter replaced by Mazda of Orange at 41,xxx miles due to the failing catalyst material
- Motor mounts replaced by Mazda of Orange at 35,xxx miles due to material fatigue failure
- Brake rotors, pads, and fluids have all been upgraded and replaced at 60,000 miles
- Transmission fluid (Idemitsu 75W90) replaced at 60,000 miles
- Differential fluid (Idemitsu 75W90) replaced at 60,000 miles
- New NGK spark plugs from BHR replaced at 60,000 miles
- New Factory coils replaced at 60,000 miles
- Royal Purple 10W40 oil change at 60,000 miles
- Idemitsu Rotary Premix with every fill up (4 oz per fill up)
- Oil change intervals at 4,000 miles
- NO CELs and the car runs to 9k rpm without ANY hesitation!
- Car has been recently detailed and ready for a new home!
I have a couple of nice, tasteful modifications done to the car:
- Removed VFAD (Still have all the components if you want to revert back)
- Progress Technology Adjustable Front & Rear Sway Bars
- Energy Suspension Front Sway Bar Mounting Bracket
- NEW Centric E-Coated Rotors
- NEW Stoptech Street Performance Brake Pads
- EXTRA Set of OEM Rotors bedded in with the Carbotechs
- EXTRA Set of Carbotech XP10 (Fronts) with 60% life and XP8 (Rears) with 70% life
- Custom Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines and Stainless Steel Braided Clutch Line
- Joyfast Yokohama 430g Shift **** with Joyfast Yokohama Shift Extender (Worked great with the AFE SS!) - the perfect weight!
- NEW Motul RBF600 Fluid Swap for Brakes and Clutch
- Greddy Spectrum Elite Catback Exhaust
- Used set of 17" Volk Racing AV3 Forged Wheels (Needs to be refinished) with Dunlop tires (60% tread depth) will be provided with the deal
- 17x8.5 (Front) and 17x9.5 (Rear)
- OEM set of 18" Wheels with Nitto NT555 tires (80% tread depth)
I'm sure I'm forgetting some other things, but that's most of it.
Asking $10,500 OBO. The vehicle still has the engine warranty until 100,000 miles. I have all the paperwork for the recent services including the most recent engine swap by Tustin Mazda.
If you're interested, please call me at (714) 323-2333 if you have any questions. I don't come on RX8 Club as often so calling me would be the best way to reach me.
Here's a few photos of the car:

Sad to hear that you are selling your rx8! Good luck with sale. Are you planning to part out any of the aftermarket parts down the road? I'll n interested in the burnout lip if you are!
