Thanks for stopping by: Please note that this car was sold on Ebay 5 days ago and the 0 feedback winning bidder did not submit deposit or payment. The vehicle had over 20 bids and sold for a no reserve price of $2175.00. Quite a bit lower than I would have expected, as it's a great car. Please do not bid if you have 0 or negative feedback. I have a deposit on my new car and I'm forced to do a quick sale AT NO RESERVE.

Your currently viewing my 2004 R2 Mazda rx8. Car regularly serviced and maintained by Pettit Racing in South Florida. The items below have been done to the car in the last year. Too many to list, but here's a summary of the extras we have put on. All original Pettit Racing parts. It's been my daily driver and I'm offering it up for sale to buy newer one.

Brand new obx racing midpipe just installed.

Brand new red top optima battery.

All natural power tuning kit from Pettit racing.

NGK racing new spark plugs and coils just replaced.

EXEDY Racing Rally clutch with new clutch slave cylinder installed three months ago

New aftermarket alloy rims plastidipped black.

the interior is in very nice condition. cloth interior with no tears.

there are a few things that need attention. I'm buying a newer one, need to sell and I'd rather not put the money in, so anyone that wants to own a great car for a unbelievable price - this is it.

Here's what should be done.

It has a small leak of coolant - the radiator should be replaced. (these engines are designed to run rich and the radiator should be replaced ASAP to protect the engine) It runs and drives fine, however I wouldn't chance it by not replacing it soon.
 
recommend new tires ASAP. The paint has some fading on top from the Florida sun. not something that has to be fixed unless you want to. 

needs a new MAF sensor ($200) - cold starts are fine and will idle fine at 1400 rpm but once it gets warm the idle slowly will go down and you sometimes must give it a bit of gas to keep at idle at stop. this just started happening and I can drive it fine, but I would fix it soon.

Lastly,  there is a dent in the front right passenger fender. it's definitely more than just cosmetic but as you can tell from the pics - it's not that visible from the distance. If you want closer pics of that let me know. 

I want to be very upfront with the problems the car has, so you know exactly what your getting in to. I'm not a used car dealer as this is a personal vehicle. I have been selling on Ebay for over a decade with 100% FB. My Ebay reputation is more important to me than this sale. So please serious inquiries only.  

I get lots of compliments on the looks of the car and the sound of the midpipe. it's really a unique looking car that runs good is fast and fun to drive! Also good on gas. For the few hundred you may end up putting in this car, I promise you will have a very unique car that looks great and stands out. You just cannot find a car this cool, unique and fast for under 3k.

Electric Miata smokes Tesla Model S at the track

Wed, Jul 9 2014

Yes, folks, you read that headline right. A souped up battery-electric version of a Mazda Miata took down a Tesla Model S on a quarter-mile drag strip. And it wasn't even close. Road Test TV was kind enough to post a video of a forest-green Miata (and its very stoked driver) doing a quarter-mile run in a rather brisk 9.27 seconds, beating the Model S sedan by a whopping 3.5 seconds in the process. And the Mazda crossed the finish line moving at 142 miles per hour, or 40 miles per hour faster than the Tesla was going when it finished the race. It's a good thing for the Tesla owner that they weren't racing for pink slips. Granted, the comparison is probably an unfair one because the Tesla was a stock, production vehicle (the P85 Performance model, but still), whereas who knows how the Miata was juiced up and how much cash it took to do the job. It's sort of like putting, say, an automotive writer against Usain Bolt because we ate the same breakfast and share 99 percent of our DNA. Still, the video does lend a certain credence to the idea that a battery-electric, super-light, rear-wheel-drive Miata would be a lot of fun, or at least a heck of lot more fun than any other Mazda out there. We're just sayin'. Check out the 100-second video below, and remember not to blink. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
