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!

Next-gen Mazda2 designed for 'predominantly feminine' appeal
Tue, 26 Nov 2013We can't ever think of a time we've heard anyone accuse the current Mazda2 of being too edgy, which makes reports of a softer design for the next-gen model a little surprising. Autocar reports that when the new 2 debuts next fall, it will have a "softer, more feminine appeal" than the current design.
This description lends a little more credibility to the Japanese magazine image we saw of the car back in July. Aside from Mazda's Kodo-inspired signature face, that picture did reveal softer lines, especially along the side of the car. This softened styling is to appeal to the car's target market, which Mazda's European design chief is reported to have called a "predominantly feminine customer base." Last we heard, though, Mazda might keep the next 2 out of the US due to slow sales.
The 2015 Mazda2 will reportedly ride on a shortened version of the platform used for the CX-5, but Autocar mentions that its platform could also be the basis of a new subcompact crossover - possibly to go up against vehicles like the Buick Encore and the upcoming Honda Fit-based crossover called the Vezel.
2016 Mazda6 gets a facelift in LA
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is a busy one for Mazda, as the Japanese brand shows off not only its all-new CX-3, but a facelifted Mazda6 sedan.
The 2016 sedan has been nipped and tucked to better fit in with newer members of the brand's range, including the aforementioned CX-3, as well as the Mazda3 and MX-5 Miata.
The grille's horizontal slats are now trimmed in chrome, while the brand's chrome wing motif on the fascia is larger and more prominent, particularly where it feeds into the headlights.
Mazda rolls out unlimited mileage warranty in Canada
Fri, 14 Nov 2014Cold weather might be starting to grip parts of Canada, but our neighbors to the north are going to be able to drive their 2015 Mazda cars and utilities from Vancouver to Montreal with a little more peace of mind. That's because Mazda Canada is instituting an unlimited mileage warranty for its new models.
The updated plan starts with all 2015 model year vehicles (even those already sold), and the scheme simply removes that distance limit on everything but the emissions defect coverage. That means that the Mazdas have one year of service adjustments, three years of new vehicle coverage, five years on the powertrain, seven years against corrosion and three years of roadside assistance for as many kilometers as the owner drives.
The change removes at least one, tiny piece of anxiety about buying a new vehicle because it's easy to know when the coverage ends. "By offering our customers an Unlimited Mileage Warranty, we believe it will enhance their ownership experience by alleviating concerns such as kilometre limitations, repair costs and resale value," Kory Koreeda, president of Mazda Canada, in the automaker's announcement.
