CA 2004 RX8 Auto Turbo

8Club,

Want to sell a black on red 2004 turbo (auto) with 50k+ miles on it for $7000. I do not have the title. I have one parking spot and am trying to buy an electric car to replace this one. This car is also not registered and won't pass smog. The list of parts are shown below.

The Turblown unit has a couple thousand miles on it or less with Cobb tuned by Jeff at Mazda Maniac. It runs good although has hot start flooding issue. Car makes 250rwp @7-8psi eyeballing the boost gauge.

The price of the Turbo kit and accessories alone is worth more than the entire car.

Pros:
-100 rwp more than stock
-Plenty of room for 300+rwp (tranny limiting)
-As quiet as stock at idle and cruise, no droning at all
-Premixing may eliminate the issue with current pre 2009 Rotary design
-Faster than a 6spd

Cons:
-Transmission slow to shift and annoying (recommend Level10) or go manual.
-Runs hotter than stock in stop and go and I can feel the water vapor (steam) coming out of the overflow during spirited driving in 90 degree heat.
-Won't pass visual
-Loud (from wastegate) at WOT which is a little F&F for my tastes
-You have to premix
-Faster than a six speed but still slower than a minivan

No accidents

The total sum = $12,200 parts + 11,000 car, NOT including installation costs, shipping fees, taxes and vehicle shipping. This may run an additional ~$4,000. So total costs for me have been ~$26,000.

Car is in downtown CA. local pickup only. Will get pictures of actual car if requested. There are no surprises on this car, no accidents except some typical light scratches on the front bumper and a few minor door dings.
