That's just over 12k a year. Car came from South Carolina and was his daily driver.
I take it compression is an issue with these cars then? I will try and get one at some point, more if someone is interested, going to drive it in the mean time as it is a fun little setup.
I will split it up for the right price, just trying to get enough for a T56 out of the deal.

thing is that if this is an original engine ... it has suffered from insufficient OMP rates for an unknown period of time. 04 rx8's ran a poor engine map that was updated more than once in the ensuing years.
When you say some lady owned it, it is somewhat less than likely that she took it to a dealer to get the map refllashed.
HOWEVER
This may also be a replacement which would make the miles on the motor MUCH less than what is on the odometer. It also makes it MUCH more likely that it is running on the updated maps.
If I were you, I would take it to the dealer and try to find out if the engine was rebuilt and If and when the updated were done.
this will ensure you get top dollar
Seeing as it has 90k (from an 04), I am leaning towards the motor NOT being original. I could be wrong tho
take it to the dealer or talk to RotaryRessurection ... there are other ways to tell if the engine is not original, but you'll need to talk to dealer to see if you are running updated maps....
Otherwise, people are not sure what they are getting. Personally, I would go for this instead, even if I were local, due to lower miles https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/04-6port-block-engine-harness-214399/
all things taken into account ... your pricing is not Outrageous ... you will just have to wait a couple months most likely

Well toss me offers guys, I picked up a LS1 /w T56 that I want to swap in... It will come out the night someone sends me money for the swap or engine or trans.
It has a faded sticker under the hood for some Mazda recall or something I forget what it said.
If anyone wants to take it for a ride they are more then welcome too, car drives great... I can provide a VIN if you want to run it with Mazda.
