back in town from a long trip to Japan and China.
well... even though Japan is my home country, being away for so long (about 9 years since last time I went back) I felt I'm back home when I landed in Chicago....
so... what did I miss??
any events/meets coming up??
can't wait to hop into my 8 today... 3 weeks of no driving kills me...

Anyone interested in this stuff? Would rather sell local to offer a better deal to everyone involved..
- BHR ignition kit with black MSD ignition wires
- HKS Hi-Power cat-back exhaust with adjustable tip
- Silver Enkei RPF1 wheels with or without Hankook RS3 tires, 17x9 +35 and 255/40-17 (lots of tread, need to measure the exact depth)
Everything has about ~6 months of usage and ~7,000 miles. Light wear is obviously present but I take extremely good care of everything I own.
No rush to sell, but accepting offers. Have been super busy but will get some nice pictures in the coming days.

Open to reasonable offers. I know that new prices were around the following, and I did purchase everything brand new:
- BHR kit ~ $500
- HKS exhaust ~ $400
- Enkei wheels and Hankook tires ~ $1,500 from Tire Rack
I don't see these items sell second hand enough on the forums to know what a good ballpark price is. I know I'll have a much better audience for the wheels/tires with the Evo or S2000 crowd.

^ That place is shady as ****.
I looked at an 8 there when i was shopping. 2nd gear would grind at anything higher than 5k. They claimed it was a new clutch and i wasn't pushing it in all the way. Whatever clutch they put in was super light and wouldn't have held up to much driving to start with. I believe they got into some fraud trouble for a bit there as well. Just a heads up is all.

No matter which one you choose, make sure to get a compression test done. If they don't have a rotary compression tester, schedule an appt. with the closest mazda dealership. It will be worth your ~$100 in the long run.
FWIW: I paid 13300 out the door for my 05 with 64k on it in May of 2009. It's 2 years later, dont pay any more than 10k for an 04 or 05 unless it has less than 50k on the clock.
Oh and welcome
sorry forgot my manners there for a minute.

Just got my 8 back from Sweeney today. Shifting felt a little rough to begin with, but seemed to mellow out as the parts got used to moving again. We'll see how it holds up tomorrow, but no more kicking out of 4th :D
Probably grabbing a few beers this Saturday and throwing on the oil cooler screens (which means bending a lotta fins). Still contemplating spraying them black beforehand. Or I could just let them get dirty on their own.
Welcome Robo!

They had some legal problems where a lot of cars were seized. Drugs or something.

I have no idea who this dealer is and the price is way out of whack, but it looks pretty cool.

Kings will come down. There's not a huge demand for 8's. Kings does have good service though so that might be worth a few extra bucks. I bought 3 cars from them and had 4 serviced by them.
Welcome by the way.

I JUST looked at that car right when you posted this lol. I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to try and get them down to like 9,000 out the Door at Kings Mazda. Or should I talk lower?
This seems like a really fair price:

Robo,
That's a fair price on the 04, but walk away if a compression test isn't good since it's over 100k.
You may have seen (or heard) my 8 driving by your work. I just moved from Mariemont, so i drove past every morning and every evening. I still drive by in the evenings depending on which route i take to get home.

kytten: my 18x9's fit with tires (tightly) side by side in the back seats. Take some garbage bags and wrap the new wheels first.

I'd love to see it lowered too. And tinted. I'll save up some money during the winter and then we'll see what I want to do to it come Springtime. Once I get that work done, I'm thinking another meet is in order. :D
