2004 Mazda Rx-8 Manual Custom Parts Used Stick Rx8 Rotary 1.3l N/a Extras Mt on 2040-cars
Leesburg, Florida, United States
|
This is my 2004 Mazda RX-8. I have owned it since 2009 and have loved every minute of it. It is a RWD car powered by a 1.3L Rotary engine. The car is super lightweight and an absolute blast to drive. I have had this car to the track a few times and it has never failed to impress me, revving past many cars with significantly more power due to the low curb rate and the impressive handling. If you've never driven a rotary, you're missing out on the bliss that is 10,000 RPM.
I am getting married in a few months and could use the extra cash to start a family, so I've got to let the toy go. As you can tell by the pictures, the car was in a "in-between" phase. I had just purchased a ton of parts for it before parking it, so many of the parts have very little wear. It seats four people (the back doors are hidden suicide doors) and while it may not look it, I've fit four adults in it. You should see people's faces when they see four people step out of it. Hahaha. A car seat fits comfortably in the back as well. The car has been sitting since Feb (ran and driven every month since) but will probably need a tune-up since it sat for so long. The tires are about half-tread all the way around. The entire ignition system is new, so nothing there will be replaced anytime soon. Tranny and Diff fluids were replaced about three months before it was parked, filled with full-synthetic Redline products (same thing I've always ran in it). Battery is a new Optima Red Top. Been in the car just over a year with storage time, battery has a 3 year warranty. No major damage. A/C is ice cold, transmission shifts smoothly, radio is loud, runs and drives. Because the car doesn't have a catalytic convertor (just a heads up to those with emissions tests), it will shoot fireballs if bounced off the limiter, so be aware if someone's riding your butt and you downshift, you will toast their front-end a bit. ;) The car has a couple of small flaws. The largest (to me) is the secondary fuel rail regulator went out on it right before I parked it, which affects fuel delivery above 6,000 RPM. The car will still reach 9800, but it is missing a chunk of power in that range. The good thing is that's a relatively inexpensive part and the labor isn't particularly tough. Out of everything I've owned, this has been the easiest car to work on. Everything is easy to get to because the motor is tiny. The only other thing mechanically wrong with it is the mail oil seal is leaking. The leak isn't bad (maybe a quart per oil change?) but like any oil leak, it could be fine for years, it could be fine for days. That fix is a little more labor intensive, but the seal itself is cheap. There are a few cracks in the dash, a small hole in the driver seat and the driver's window motor is on its way out. Otherwise, the car is 100% ready to go. Maybe $1,000 to get the car to like-new and if it wasn't for the wedding, that's DEFINITELY what I would be doing. XD Now for the fun stuff, CUSTOM parts! Veilside Replica Bodykit (all duraflex, stronger than fiberglass and flexes like polyurethane) Mazdaspeed Replica Wing EvoR Carbon Fiber Hood (painted black after the evil bright thing in the sky, aka the Florida sun,destroyed my beautiful carbon fiber) VFAD Delete K&N Drop-in Filter BHR Ignition System THMotorsports Midpipe GReddy SP2 Exhaust Racing Beat Solid Motor Mounts TEIN Street Basis adjustable coilovers (They can go down another inch, but the roads here suck) ICW Kamikazes 18x7.5 Walbro 255 LPH Fuel Pump Upgraded Starter (late-model version) VVme HIDs (6k) All interior lights swapped for LEDs (red in the door lights, HID-style LEDs in the vanity and map lights) Carbon Fiber Shift Knob (The original knob is still in the car, if you prefer it) Optima Red Top Battery still under warranty I believe that's it! If I think of anything I'll add to the listing. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions or would like more pictures, I would be more than happy to take more!

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata priced from $24,915
Mon, Mar 30 2015When Ford introduced the 2015 Mustang, it gave us 300 percent more car for about 10 percent more money. Mazda has done even better with the MX-5 Miata: the current roadster starts at $23,970 in Sport trim with a five-speed manual, the smaller, lighter, sharper 2016 model is just under $1,000 more, starting at $24,915 with a six-speed manual. Destination, unchanged, adds $820 to that MSRP. It is divided into the same three tiers of Sport, Club, and Grand Touring but the standard feature set grows, with the departure of that five-speed manual for six-speeders across the board, LED headlights, and extra infotainment functionality. Mazda says it will release more pricing in the future, but so far things just keep looking up for the one of the best little roadsters out there. The press release below has more.

(March 30, 2015) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced that the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata will start at $24,9151 in entry-level Sport trim. Mazda has instilled the latest MX-5 with the pure driving experience that has won worldwide fanfare since the arrival of the first-generation MX-5 in 1989 as a 1990 model. Yet, the fourth-generation MX-5 provides Mazda's latest safety features and technologies and maintains an inflation-adjusted price close to that of the original roadster. The 2016 MX-5 launches this summer and will be available in Sport, Club and Grand Touring trim levels. "As we get closer to the MX-5's summer on-sale date, we're seeing a surge in interest and excitement from enthusiasts and journalists," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. "Already, early MX-5 reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and we expect the momentum that MX-5 has garnered to continue to build as drivers get behind the wheel of our fourth-generation sports car." Infused with SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY and KODO-Soul of Motion design, the 2016 MX-5 is smaller, lighter and more aggressive than its predecessor, with the base MX-5 Sport expected to outperform the sportiest previous road-going variants. However, even with its focus on delivering maximum driving enjoyment, the 2016 MX-5 boasts more creature comforts and a more functional interior than the vehicle it replaces.
Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership
Mon, May 11 2015Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.

Mazda RX-3 restomod makes Leno scream, us cheer
Tue, Aug 25 2015The Mazda RX-3 Savanna was the rotary-engined version of the Mazda 808 Grand Familia. Sold in the US from 1971 to 1978, the little Japanese fastback earned a reputation as an excellent racecar, winning events all over the world. A racing connection is how a fantastic 1973 restomod example owned by Savant Young made its way to Jay Leno's Garage. Young said that when he was a boy his uncle used to street race an RX-3, and Young liked how the RX-3 sounded and the fact that a tiny import could go up against and beat big V8s of the time. Leno admitted that he has no connection to the RX-3, saying it's not the kind of car he typically likes. But he liked Young's custom update so much that when he saw the coupe sitting outside the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, he waited for the owner to show up. Young's changes over the 15 years he's owned the car include dropping in the rotary engine and running gear from the second-generation Mazda RX-7, bridge-ported and methane injected. At 15 pounds of boost he says it's putting out about 400 horsepower. The rear end comes from a Toyota Hilux half-ton pickup, to help put all that power down in a car that weighs maybe 2,100 pounds. The color is taken from the Lamborghini palette. Disc brakes all around, 14-inchers up front, control the velocity. Nothing controls the gas mileage, said to be "maybe 12 mpg." And nothing could stop Leno from whooping it up during the driver. Check out the fun in the video above.
