I've got a 2004 RX-8 w/ manual transmission, 92k miles. The motor is blown, has a bad seal on the rear rotor. Surprisingly, the car runs, but I wouldn't drive it far. I have a TON ($12k +) of money sunk into this car.

Parts:
-Precision Turbo 62mm air-cooled, dual ball-bearing
-Greddy Type R Blow-off valve
-Greddy Profec-B II Boost Controller
-Tial 44mm external Waste Gate
-Exotic Speed midpipe
-Custom catback exhaust with Magnaflow Mufflers
-Custom Oil catch can and winshield washer reservoir
-Cobb AcessPort for tuning with custom tune from Secret Services
-Enkie ZR-1 18x8 wheels not a scratch on them, tires have at least 80% on them
-Pioneer DVD touch screen with Ipod adapter
-AEM Boost Gauge and Oil Press.
-Wide-band AFR gauge (I forget the brand)
-Walbro fuel pump
-Yellow P2 injectors (780cc I believe)
-Tanabe GF210 lowering springs
-tinted windows
-factory navigation!
-2 tone black and brown leather interior
-Brand new Red Top Optima battery ($300)

I have also put brand new coils on with MSD spark plug wires about 200 miles ago. I also had the rear trunk badges shaved off except the "RX8" was moved to the center and sprayed black. Very clean look.

This car just needs a new motor and front bumper (hit a traffic cone that was left in the middle of the highway).

Was putting down about 300rwhp when I dynoed it. Torque at 265 ft/lb at this weight, the car is fast. All on stock internal motor. I was beating new Camaro SS, Dodge Viper SRT-10 truck, Mustang GTs, etc.

I have a baby on the way and need another car now. No time or money to fix this. My loss is your gain.

 

I based my pricing on what I have seen some other cars go for. I've seen completely stock RX8s with blown motors go for close to $5000, so that made me think mine was worth way more with all the goodies I've put on it. Has the 2-tone black and brown leather interior. Will post pics upon request. Also has the factory navigation!!!! This is very cool to have 2 screens on top of one another.

 

Forgot to mention that the turbo has only 2k miles on it! Yellow P2 injectors, tinted windows, Tanabe GF210 lowering springs. Car has it all. Ran awesome until the motor died. My fault for running too much boost. I will probably remove the turbo kit and sell separately if I don't get some interest soon.

 

One thing man, that is not a Greddy Type R BOV, it looks like the RZ.

 

You may be right. I don't know what the difference is b/w the 2. I do know that this one came with the blue anodized cone, bu they had to grind it down to put the recirc pipe on.

 

Really clean looking car! I wish I was closer I already have an engine I could put in it

Stephen,

Where are you located? We can always ship it. I can take a video of it this weekend so you can see everything in more detail. Let me know.

 

Bump.

If I don't get any interest soon, I may take the turbo off and sell separately. Or I may change my mind altogether and just keep the car and work on it when I have time. Grab this awesome car before I change my mind!

 

Honestly if you have a bike to drive daily just save about 1500, get a solid used motor, swap it out and get your tune straight from the get go. Then save a bit more and get a reliable daily and you are good.

 

I am located in new hampshire. I did talk to my wife and she said that we will have to wait until spring before I can start looking for another car. It seems like a really great car and I really wish that you were closer so I could look at it in person with her and maybe convince her if you have the ability to do the video I would post that up here, it may help with the sale...

Good luck with the sale its a sharp car!

I'm local. Would you maybe want to "trade" some of your parts for my 88 FC with a good 13b?

Sorry, but I need cash right now and a vehicle with four doors. I appreciate the interest.

 

I just tried calling you and got an error message. I e-mailed you at the address above with my phone number.

 

BUMP. Need this gone. Just bought a house.

 

Aaaaand bump.

 

Still for sale, rotary friends!

 

I saw your other thread with a few prices on different parts... Maybe you could PM on a price without the turbo.

Figured I would post this rather than PM you just so you get a FREE BUMP I really do like this car and I am still trying to talk the wife into it... I just wish we didn't live sooooo far apart! (I'm in NH)

I appreciate the bump. My problem is that I still have a lot to do at the new house and I work offshore a lot so I don't really have any free time to pull out the turbo. There's a good chance I'll just keep the car if I don't get any good offers soon. I was hoping someone would grab this by now. Got so much attention at car shows. Thanks again, Stephen.

 

Got any interior pics?

 

I'm working offshore and this is all I got. I'll put better pics up when I get back in 2 days.
