So someone in the local drifting community apparently picked up this rough RX-8 for $2500 in running condition and it's now a drift missile. Who says it doesn't work? It's amazingly balanced!

And how did he score the "rough" rx-8 for 2500? Is the whole passenger's side missing or somethin cause it doesn't look either rough or missle-status to me, looks pretty boss actually. lol

 

Thats Gleb.

 

Beautiful pics as always Leon!
srsly though, thing looks clean. It not have a motor or something?

 

You sure it was Gleb? He was driving some Skyline GT-S also.

 

The other side does have a couple bigger dents in it. I'm sure it was a savage titled of some kind. I really don't know what the deal was, but I heard it was ridiculously cheap.

 

If it was a dark blue GT-S it was Gleb. Kid sure has a lot of car.

 

Looks like the whole front end has been replaced. You can see the front door and guard are a different colour to the rest, they also dont line up perfectly. IMO Who cares, I think it looks great for a track car.

 

You can buy it now 2!

$8500.00 for that? There is a mint 05 Shinka for sale here with an authentic mazdaspeed kit for sale for $10,000.00.

 

You were close

From the seller's Craigslist ad

The car does have a salvage title and a dent that runs along the passenger side but drives completely straight and runs awesome. the Exhaust alone costs about $1100. everything works except for the seatbelts. they locked up and I haven't gotten new ones yet.

 

2500 its worth it for sure. pretty rough ride though..

 

qp is bad

 

Great pics Leon

 

I think this is the guy who trolled a bit in the aggressive fit thread, haha.

$8500 is a little steep for a salvage title without working seatbelts
