FS: 04 Mazda RX-8 autox package
Gonna put this here instead of in the classifieds since I'm going to try to sell everything together first.
2004 Mazda RX-8
Base Model w/ DVD Nav System as only option
Sunlight Silver
51,000 miles
Kumho SPT's with only 3k miles on the OEM wheels
one owner
Auto-x goodies:
Koni OTS singles
Racing Beat single exit exhaust
(I have the stock shocks and exhaust as well)
1 extra set of OEM wheels with ~70 run V710's
1 set of Enkei RPM2's (~19.5lbs, 45mm offset) with ~40 run V710's
Full set of McGard spline-drive lugs as well as a full set of OEM lugs
06-07 Auto-x accomplishments in BS:
1 ProSolo win
1 National Tour win
2 ProSolo 2nd's
2 National Tour 2nd's
4th at Pro Finale and 4th overall for 2006 ProSolo season
5th at 2006 nationals
Asking $17,500 for the whole ball of wax
KBB "good" condition private party value is $15,285
The car is really in better condition than "good," but it has been in
an accident. I can provide more details to interested parties, but
the damage was fixed very well (by a Mazda dealer) and has not
affected the "autocrossability" of the car (2 of the 2nd's and another
national trophy not listed above were earned this season since the
accident). Nothing is bent...the car still has the same alignment
capabilities as it had before the accident.
The autox extras make up the other ~$2k between the kbb number and my
asking price.
If you're interested, email bhertwec "at" highpoint "dot" edu

Are you in DS? Could you give us more details on the car you are running now? 3.2 V6, six speed, limited slip (torsen or viscous), etc.?
Are you sure those are 235/35/19's?

It's an 06 base crossfire coupe...they're giving them away right now--I bought it brand new for 18,800 (sticker is 30,200). It is the 3.2L V6 with 6 speed, but it has an open diff (no LSD available).
I'm quite sure they're 235/35R19...I have no idea why they call them 235's...doesn't make all that much sense when you go to the hoosier catalog and read the specs...seems more like a 255 (which is the stock size). Tirerack's site seems to have some sort of bug associated with the size, as sometimes they're there and other times they're not???
OTS Koni's went on it last night and I got it aligned this morning...I'll try it out at a local event Sunday...I'm excited to see what it can do...on paper, it stacks up quite well in DS now that 19" R comps are available.

Looks like the weight is pretty low on that bugger, easily 250lbs less than the E46 330 BMW which has proven to be competitive. Any suspension adjustability in the front end?
Lack of an LSD will be frustrating as hell in Topeka, but it will be interesting to see how you like it after a few events.

No camber adjustment at either end (well, maybe none...there are camber correction bolts for the front end with Chrysler part numbers, but we're still working on factory documentation for their use). My car has -1.1/-1.2 in the front without the bolts. Should have a decent camber curve too.
Actually, I'd be more worried about the open diff at a high-grip place where there's a ton of weight transfer...the diff doesn't matter if neither tire can get any traction ;-)

I dunno, man. Matt Murray had a hell of a time with his ZHP last year. It seemed that every reasonably tight turn was trouble. Comparatively, GJ didn't seem to have nearly as many one-tire-fire troubles at Forbes in '05.

A couple people in my region have picked up RX8's with those type of discounts.......15-16K out the door for base model 06's

Good luck with the Crossfire.

That's a great car for that kind of money......They certainly had high expectations for that car when it came out. It will be interesting to see how it does in the autox arena.

Made me feel like I overpaid for my used 05 with 9K on it.....
Good luck with the Crossfire.

dood, are you hitting the pipe, again? The cheapest I've heard of anyone picking up a base '06 for is right at $20k...the capitalized cost on my lease was $20.8k.
I do know that Glenn bought his '04 for $14k and that's the lowest price I've heard of for a good car with clean title
![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
btw, I don't think the cost difference between Hoosier and Kumho 245's is really significant, even given wear

We'll see how it goes...always have the option of trying a stiffer bar and/or wider rear tires down the road.

That sucks that the Crossfire doesn't have lsd. That seems the biggest reason that it is in DS.
Way off topic, but I wonder how a new G35 sedan 6mt sport with lsd would do in DS?
