2004 Mazda RX-8, 105k miles, tons of mods, rebuilt engine
Year: 2004
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $7000
Mileage: 105000
Color: Green (Nordic Green Mica)
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): TN
The Good:
Rare factory paint color: Nordic Green Mica (only on 2004 models)
Low mileage for the age of the car (105k miles @ 8,750 miles per year avg.)
Overall paint is in great condition
6-speed manual gearbox is a lot of fun
All of the factory options installed: heated seats, bi-xenon HID headlights, sunroof, leather seats
Engine runs strong, starts right up, and has no known mechanical issues
A/C blows cold, and was recently serviced.
Engine was rebuilt with new apex seals, bearings, rotor housings, and motor mounts in 2014. This is a common occurrence with rotary engines, and ultimately will need to be done on every RX-8 after 80,000 miles. Engine runs, pulls strong, and will continue to do so for a long time. Engine was rebuilt by Kevin Landers at Rotary Resurrection. Mileage at time of rebuild was 88,400. Proof of rebuild can be shown upon request. I still have all the original receipts from it.
New struts all around were done last August.
Interior is in 9/10 condition.
Leather seats have some scratches, but the leather is still in great condition with no tears whatsoever.
Leather on steering wheel is in fantastic condition.
A ton of aftermarket parts and modifications including:
TurboXS cat back exhaust (~$650)
Rota G-Force 18 x 9 wheels (~$860)
AEM cold air intake (~$350)
Exedy stage 1 racing clutch (~$350)
Black Halo Racing ignition coils, plugs, and wires (~$550)
Recently resurfaced flywheel (~$40)
6000k LED side marker, parking, and fog lights (~$225)
Red LEDs interior (~$100)
LED turn signals, tail/brake, and reverse lights ($200)
JL Audio 12" subwoofer (~$280)
Kenwood amp and DPU500BT radio (~$400)
Metra double-din dash Kit (~$100)
Infinity speakers (~$400)
Piano black VooDoo shift **** (~$75)
Black fender strakes (~$100)
N3Z1 starter upgrade (~$150)
New Optima Red Top high CCA battery (~$200)
Rebuilt engine w/ new seals, bearings, housings (~$4,500)
Mazda OEM motor mounts (~$300)
Smoked side markers (~$100)
"Evil M" emblem front & rear (~$40)
Factory "Aero" kit (fender flares, front lip, spoiler, side skirts)
Red stitched perforated leather shift boot (~$100)
Almost $5,600 in aftermarket modifications done in the past few years.
The Bad:
Headlight lenses are showing their age, but can be restored
Front bumper has some rock chips, scratches, and some other blemishes
Some minor dents (no larger than a penny) appear around the car, but not much
Radio sometimes cuts in and out when driving, I am 90% sure it is due to a loose wire behind the radio, and could probably be fixed in under an hour with some electrical tape, but I don’t care to mess with it since I do not drive it right now
Tires are worn, and might need replacing in the not-so-distant future
I am sad to see the RX-8 go, but I need to get rid of it since I am graduating college soon. It has served me well for many years, and I hope it will find a well-deserving owner.
