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!

2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk
Fri, 02 May 2014Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.
44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above
Mon, 16 Jun 2014We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.
RC car drift video brings Fast and Furious style in 1:10 scale
Mon, Apr 13 2015Taking a cue from Lexus' 2015 Super Bowl ad Let's Play, Falken Tire is proving that RC cars can drift just as well, if not better, than their full-size counterparts. However, to make things four times as exciting, this clip eschews a single hopped-up model hanging its tail out in favor of a quartet of them sliding around together. Starring 1:10 RC versions of popular drift machines like the Nissan S15 Silvia, Mazda FD-chassis RX-7 and Initial D star Toyota Corolla AE86, these cars also get a suite of blinking LEDs to lend some extra color to all of the tire spinning. Plus, the use of well-positioned cameras and a scale model environment almost makes this group look like they're at work in the real world.
