OBO: Turbocharged 2004 RX-8 Touring
sold
|
:sadwavey:
Bye 9k Hope you find a good home for this. If I had the money and the time I'd love to fly down and drive it up here and make it my summer only 8, while I keep the other for the winter. Though I think I'd scrape the shit out of the bumper and skirts on my driveway, so it's probably for the best. |
I have not gotten any serious interest. I'm moving and don't really want to take it but if I don't get a fair price I will keep it and swap it.
|
Damn man, sad to see you go but this is one of the cleanest cars for sure.
|
It's time man, 600WHP awaits :)
Oh and I got the sending unit to fix the temp sensor today. |
Damn, hope this car finds a good home. Reasonable price too...
|
any potential buyers will have to undergo an extensive background check and car history to weed out ricers fucking up one of the nicest builds
|
Yeah man, I have received some pretty dumb inquires so far.

Clean 8.
Have always loved your car. GLWS bro. |
Where in texas is this located |
Never really talked to you but always admired your car. Sad to see you go, but totally understand. Good luck with the sale.
|
If you don't mind my asking, since everyone else seems to already know, why are you selling and what do you plan to do next once sold?

I think the only hope is that we can see a resurgence of interest as prices drop into the "cheap platform that you're willing to break" ranges. Unfortunately, cheap and RX8s don't seem to have ever gone together. Where they did, it wasn't ever really a good pairing. That'll also mean a massive influx of people who are going to do bad builds, possibly driving the long time crowd away from the social side of things. |

I'm also building a house right now, should be done in September so bring the car on up here and I'll "store" it for you for free!
Heck if he brings up here to store I would consider buying it from him. The cost of bringing it up here is pretty high. It is a sweet ride but it could be too low for the Alberta potholes. |
Hmmm. Rebuild my engine or go down and buy this car. Difficult decisions.... at the same time if your actually selling your car for 9k Im worried about putting any money into mine :/

Given how your current build turned out, seeing that swap would be very interesting... Unless you go to the dark side and put an Isuzu V6 in it. :yelrotflm |

Seems like a pretty easy decision to me..... lets all be honest, $9k for this car and all the parts you are getting with it is a steal, if I lived in the US this car would already be mine. You would spend double or triple that trying to replicate this on your own car..... I'm probably 9K deep into mine and that's without the price of the car, a rebuilt engine from one of the most reputable builders there are and a non-upgraded turbo. |

A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that car (and money), whomever gets it is one lucky sob. |
Yeah man it is disheartening for sure and if I do sell, I can't ever look back because I don't want to see my car posted up plastidipped, a GT wing on the back, and an LED light bar mounted in front of the intercooler, :lol:.
It was a lot of blood sweat and tears, but I made some lifelong friends that have moved on to other like platforms so the fun continues. Oh and I replaced the oil temp gauge sending unit with a new one so it's working fine now. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...58e275f2da.jpg |

With a child coming in the very near future, I plan on jumping over to the boosted German side with an S5 or RS5 Sportback. Given the massive performance jump and practicality, I'm not sure if there's a reason to keep the RX-8 around other than for sentimental values. Good luck with the sale. I hope your end of the stick isn't shorter than it already is with your posted price. |
Thanks man, the sentimental value is the only reason I have been hanging on to it, and the car deserves to loved again.
|
Don't do it!! :(
|
Sad to see you go. Posters like you helped me build the confidence to buy an RX-8. GLWS! |
|
how soon are you trying to get rid of it btw? I'm 100% down to buy it early september (only free time I have between summer work and uni to fly down) if the compression is half decent.
|
I apologize if this isn’t my place, but posting a test result would be prudent, 9K.

It sells when it sells. First one to come up with the cash gets it. |
|

|
I can get some WOT pulls as well when I get time.

idk why but i thought you had the ugly red/black interior
|
Nah, I have never been a fan of that interior either. This is an interior from a 2010 GT, the stock interior was cloth, which I prefer actually.

Can't beat heated seats when it's single digits. Any nibbles yet? I had an electrician at work interested, but he said he'd have to sell his WB first. |
Oh I like the heated seats, the seats in mine are heated, I just don't like the color scheme and poor quality leather of the 2 tone S1 seats. No serious bites yet.
|
Bump.
|
is it still for sale ?
|
Yep.

does it fixable ? I live in PA, here you wont pass inspection with those |
can send me your ph# in pm ? really interested!
|
Steering rack needs to be replaced, as stated in the OP, I have a new rack for it and the EPS computer, harness, and noise filter for the electric power steering has been replaced.
This car isn't passing inspection anywhere they do a readiness or sniffer test. |
