New build RX8 racecar for SCCA, NASA, etc.

Year: 2004
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $16000
Mileage: 0
Color: black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): WI

Our team has built race / championship winning cars for professional and club racing series, and just built this RX8 for SCCA class T4, but it can also be raced in NASA, used for track days, theoretically on the street too since it does have a clean title. We started with a street RX8, not salvage, with few options so the car can be very light. The interior was gutted and an SCCA approved cage installed as well as:
*new engine (reman from a Mazda dealer) w/ new bolt-ons, aftermarket pulleys
*new racing clutch / flywheel
*new racing radiator so the temps stay down, AC removed, temp sensors and gauges added
*new aftermarket shocks and springs, suspension gone through
*new brake rotors, Carbotech pads, SS lines and Castrol SRF fluid
*Sparco halo seat (possibly included), window net, fire bottle
*lightweight Enkei Racing rims w/ Hoosier tires
*stock manifold or aftermarket header, catless racepipe

These are the basics but for more info / pics IM, email or post here but please don't waste my time or yours. I'm asking $16,000 OBO for the car and assorted spares, thanks for looking.

Like I said those are the basics, I have more info for potential buyers. The car is built to the constraints of the class rules thus the choice of parts/mods. The suspension is KYB/Mazdaspeed (also have some Road Magnets) and the car handles ridiculously well. I added water and oil temp/pressure gauges. Besides the stock manifold I also have the header, GarageLine I think, and the racepipe is OBX; the system has been modified a bit for better fitment. More pics are coming once I get to the shop; also I forgot to mention I replaced the calipers, and the car is eligible in other SCCA classes like STL.

You can't see all of the cage bars in the pics but I can take more detailed ones as necessary. The passenger seat is still installed to make weight for T4 racing.

The minimum weight for the car in the class I race is 3,300lbs including driver; to make weight I must add about 300lbs of ballast so without that and driver the car weighs around 2,800 with fluids. It could be lighter too by removing more of the interior (passenger seat, windows, etc.). Yes the ABS still works as it should; the brakes are amazing on the RX8 and I've had no issues with them.

I'm assuming you mean the front lip along the bottom of the bumper; sorry but no I don't want to sell that.

I'll be racing this car soon in the SCCA National Championship Runoffs so it is completely gone through and ready to race. It's available right off the track, and I can include a track day with driver instuction at historic Road America if the buyer desires.
