Just wanted to share my 2004 RX8 (Manual/6-port). It has 76k miles, but I think the last owner or two was a little hard on it. Looked pretty rough when I got it, and ran even worse.
The car came with a Leg Motorsport front bumper, lip, and side skirts. I paid $3200 for it, knowing that the body panels alone would cost me about that much. I spent around $4000 on new plugs, upgraded coils, plug wires, MAF sensor, new solenoids, intake gaskets, o2 sensors, wheels, tires, coilovers, fuel injectors, and more. Finally got it running better, and then I moved on to cosmetic stuff. I removed every removable body part and sanded and prepped them. I spent 100+ hours prepping and painting everything with Rustoleum(!) turbo and 5-in-1 cans. I will eventually cut and buff the paint to make it look even better. I want to get some nice aftermarket seats soon, but after that I'm focusing on performance mods. I'm hoping to rebuild the engine and do a turbo setup with meth injection so I can run 91 octane pump gas. Look up Faster N' Louder on the socials if you want to follow along.
