OK guys..

This hurts...

Life is changing, cant move on with this car anymore.
Have to part with my baby. Many of you know the hard work, money and time put into the vehicle. Unfortuantely, she must go as I have no time for it anymore.
I would really like to see it go to someone within the community, but at this point, whoever wants one of the baddest rx8s ever built, will take it.

For those who don't know about the vehicle... Mods are listed Below..

2005 Wwp 6sp GT. Only 37,XXX miles! Motor swapped at 32,500.
Every option under the sun. 13B-REW block with RX8 front cover, All rx8 harness & electronics. Interceptor EMS. Single turbo conversion w/ Front mount intercooler. Xcessive Lower intake manifold with J-Spec Upper Intake Manifold & Greddy elbow. Rx8 throttle Body. Engine makes over 500HP at 20psi. RA SuperBlack Apex seals. Rear End has about 5,000 miles on it (blew under original motor/ wheelhop). Cooling Mist Methanol system. Mazdaspeed Flywheel, RP Short Shifter, AUTHENTIC Mazdaspeed Front Bumper & Sideskirts (AUTHENTIC). ACT 6 Puck SprungClutch. Mazsport Ignition system, CarPC with XP & Nav- touchscreen, Optima battery, Mazsport trio canister, HID Fog, U.K. Piano Black Dash Kit & Shinka steering wheel controls. Authentic Mazda Illuminated shift ****.19" Staggered Axis Matrix wheels are included with sale! Only 5k on the T1R tires. . Autometer Nexus Gauges, BLITZ Dual SBCR Boost Controller (phenomenol), JIC Tracbars, Buddy Club Volt Stabilizer, Moroso Dual solenoid Anti roll kit (brake line lock), Mazdaspeed Sway Bars. Mazsport Midpipe. Original Cat Converter will be included. Vehicle has 35% tints all around a 50% complete windshield tint.
I am the ORIGINAL OWNER of this car and have put well over $30,000 into it on top of the $33,000 window sticker. I Understand the rx8 values dropped significantly. The swap today would cost around $18000 to complete for the engine + the other mods and + vehicle. I know'you dont get what you put in' and blah blah blah. With all the options and improvements, I am asking what I feel to be a fairly low price for the vehicle due to the stage in my life. I will consider reasonable offers, but will definitely not consider low-ballers. I dont owe anything on the car, I dont have to sell it, It needs nothing and insurance is cheap. If your truly interested, PM me and I will be more than happy to show you the car. Members on the board have seen it, everything is legitimate. I am doing this out of the will to move on. This decision came to me real fast. I slept on it. and Im prepared to take the hit. Thank you for reading.

Serious inquiries only. Please.

Not so sure about that. Have you heard of RGonza? He makes our cars look like a Yugo.

Hi, while I sit here at work and daydream, is there any chance you can post up more engine bay pics and possibly a vid of the motor? I need something to work with to make these day dreams more realistic. If it's too much work, it's all good. I understand. I'm not a serious buyer, just another admirer.

Nice car dude, GLWS

Very interested in the car pc as well as the dash kit. Your 8 looks awesome. Just wondering what you're asking for the parts.

I know this is completely off topic and I'm sorry you have to sell your ride. But I was thinking about doing a fd swap. I was wondering how much it ran ya? N were their any major issues you ran into when you did the swap?
