Up for sale is Turbocharged Mazda RX-8 with many more upgrades. All work on the vehicle was performed by Synaptic3 Engineering out of Candia, NH and the turbocharger kit was purchased from Turbo-Kits dot com as well as the additional fuel upgrade, Greddy exhaust upgrade and the ball bearing upgrade. This same kit is still listed for sale so you can research it if you like.
Synaptic engineered the car from the ground up and made additional modifications to ensure this car has a long lifetime. All wiring was done meticulously with lead solder and wrapped, the manifold and turbo piping was cut and tig-welded for a better fit, everything has been wrapped for heat insulation and the car went through hours of tuning and driving before it was released. I have over $10,000 in labor invested and around $15,000 in parts that I can think of. No expense was spared when it came to putting this car together.

The interior was originally cloth, but when I purchased the car I had a custom black and tan interior installed through a company the dealership recommended. The custom leather, driver and passenger heated seats and 3-step paint process came to around $1800.00
Extras: I'm including the OEM car cover ($250) and the cobb access port
I purchased the car as the second owner from Wellesley Mazda in Wellesley MA, outside of Boston in 2008 with around 13,000 miles. The turbo kit and other modifications were all installed when the car had around 35,000 miles, so they're still relatively wear-and-tear free.
Care: The vehicle has reasonably low miles for a 2006 and I use it primarily on the highway to get to work and back. This car has never been on a track nor has it been raced. I spent most of my time during the past few years working out of the country and never got to drive it much unfortunately. I've always changed the oil myself at 3000-3500 miles using 5w-20 as recommended with a high performance oil filter. During the winter and heavy pollen season the car was kept under the OEM car cover that I purchased for it ($250), that I will include with the car. I've kept the car clean and waxed it by hand about once every 3 weeks during the summer so the paint is in great condition. Usually, it would be off the road until March when the weather is nicer and the roads are free of sand and salt. I've always let it come up to temperature before calling for boost to save on the bearings and never dumped the clutch or abused it in any way.
Issues: There are no mechanical issues with the car whatsoever. I had it checked out by a mechanic before putting it up last winter and verified that everything was sound. The 'radiator low coolant level' light will come on sometimes while driving, because it is getting a false signal. The T-4 turbo is cooled using water, so when it circulates throughout the system the car signals a low coolant level in the tank because some coolant is being stolen for the turbo. I was told this is normal for water cooled turbos of this kind. As for cosmetics, there is a small dent in the hood and on the roof as well. You should be able to see them in the last pictures and I tried to make them noticeable, but they don't stand out at all.
The title is clear, but I have been hit while stopped at a red light and had to have the taillights, trunk lid and both bumpers replaced because they were dented. The front bumper was a dented and scraped because I was pushed into the car in front of me, but nothing behind it was damaged. All of the parts used were brand new from the factory and were not taken from a junkyard. They were installed and painted by a local bodyshop. All of the damage was strictly cosmetic and nothing under the hood was damaged. I have pictures of the accident and can provide them upon request. All of the pictures taken for this listing were after the accident and repairs.
If there are any questions about the car, please feel free to message me and I will provide my cell number. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. There is no warranty with the car, expressed, written or implied. I have the title in-hand.

Mazda delays US launch of Skyactiv-D engine
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Japanese automakers haven't lead the charge towards diesel power in the same way as, say, the Germans have. But Mazda is out to change that. It has been following Audi's lead on the racetrack with oil-burning racecars right here in America, and will soon translate that excitement to the road by introducing its Skyactiv-D engine in North America. It just won't happen as soon as we expected.
Mazda announced today that, while its diesel engine meets current emissions requirements, the company has decided once again to push back an introduction originally slated to kick off in the Spring. According to the brief statement below, Mazda wants to take more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance."
In other words, the Zoom-Zoom brand apparently thinks its diesel engine doesn't deliver the zoom-zoom American drivers would expect, so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Details to follow closer to launch, whenever that will ultimately take place.
2015 Mazda2 revealed ahead of Paris debut [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Small cars may be big business, but the world's automakers don't seem to be in any particular rush to keep them fresh. The new Smart Fortwo unveiled yesterday replaces a model that's already been around for seven years, and based on a structure dating back to the late '90s. The new Opel Corsa revealed just last week replaces a model that had been around for eight years. And the Mazda2 has been on the market in its current form for seven years now, but not for much longer because Mazda has finally revealed its successor.
Set to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this October, the new Mazda2 follows the stylistic lead of the Hazumi concept remarkably close, from the sharply creased front end right down to the wheel design - bringing the supermini hatchback in line with the KODO design language that characterizes its bigger siblings: the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.
Although details released thus far are rather limited, and power will vary from one market to another, engine options center around a 1.5-liter four in both gasoline and diesel versions, joining the manual and automatic transmissions and the chassis itself under Mazda's Skyactiv technology umbrella. We wouldn't expect the diesel version to make it across the Pacific (or across the border from the plant that will build it alongside a new Toyota hatch in Mexico), but rumors have surfaced of a potential rotary hybrid. The new 2 will also include the company's MZD connectivity suite and i-Activsense safety technology.
Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.
