its seems that car is exploitated like 50 y.o. madamme working on the street. Hell no! i love seven,but should buy clean one, with no conversions.

 

If you look carefully you can see that one of those gauges monitors the owner's bank account.

 

Lol ^^^

 

If power is the real issue that you want to get rid of the 8, maybe you should be looking at a trade in on a mustang GT, SRT4, or an STI. At least you get the warrenties on those, but buying a 12 year old car that's been obviously pushed real hard is just opening you bank account to your local mech/auto parts store.

If your looking for power, I'd say get the mustang...

 

I agree with rodrigo. Trading for a Mustang GT sounds like your best move since all you seem to care about anymore is power, and trading your RX-8 for a GT probably won't cost you too much since they're relatively inexpensive. I remember reading a post by you where you claimed an EVO was nothing more than an econobox with a turbo. After reading this thread of yours, that car sounds perfect car for you now, except for the fact that you'd have to spend a lot of money on the trade.

At any rate, with a Mustang you won't have to worry about finding specialized mechanics to diagnose problems with your car since you'll have a warranty, unlike the beat up FD. Of course, you're going to lose the nimble agility of the RX-8, the smooth rotary engine that you can rev to 9000 RPM, and the added bonus of driving a car you don't see on the road every ****** 10 minutes. But at least you'll be slaugthering most cars at stop light races just like you want. Why not head down to Ford right now before they close?

 

I hate american cars lol.
But thanx for the advice thou..
If I bought it, I was gonna install A/C , P/S,,maybe ABS.. no big deal
Besides, I believe properly modded FD will be still reliable as opposed to stock FD where it has a BUNCH of problems..
But I think i'll let this one go
I'll get one in the near future I guess as a 2nd car.
I'll just have to see what PTP will come up with !!!

 

I agree with rx8ntexas - I also have a 94-7 and 04-8 and would never consider using the 7 as a daily driver. The 7 furnace does bode well here in the Texas summer and the car is considerably more fragile than the 8.
