I have owned this amazing car for about 7 years now, unfortunately with a baby on the way and too many cars in the driveway its time to let it go. This car runs perfectly, and has been adult owned, and meticulously maintained its whole life by someone who knows the right way to take care of a rotary engine. The basics:
2005 white water pearl RX-8 GT
A/T. Paddle Shifters on steering wheel, and Tach Mode with the console shifter
84,879 miles
Black Leather Interior (great shape, conditioned every few months),Sunroof,Power everything, Bose Soundsystem (with 10" sub), aftermarket Navigation/DVD/Sat. system integrated to stock steering wheel controls
The 8 year, 100k Mazda warranty STILL covers the car until the end of this year for any engine issues. Now for the upgrades
Injen Intake System
Revi air duct to feed air
Shine Autobahn vented side skirts
Evo-R front lip mounted on stock bumper
Kenstyle Rear Bumper, with custom Lebren LED rotary brake light
Authentic KEI Office eyelids,
PRC INGS +1 Rear Spoiler
custom di-noc CF interior kit
AVIC-D3 Head Unit (Navigation, DVD, Sat., CD, etc)
Prosport Evo digital gauges (Volt,Oil temp, Pressure)
Custom stainless Catback exhaust with titanium 3.5" tips
Drilled and slotted rotors front and back
MB Motoring Concave Wheels, painted Sepang BMW Bronze
+ 30 9.5 wide Nitto Tires, plenty of tread left
1.5" lowered, KONI Yellow shocks and Eibach Springs (new, 5000k ago)
Custom LED halo tail lights (one of a kind), sprayed Red with reverse light cutouts
2012 Nissan GTR hood vents, installed into hood
High Flow Midpipe
Lightweight pulleys
8000k hid headlights
There is so much to list for this car. All maintenance has been done on this car over the years, and documented with receipts. Spark Plus/Coils/Battery/Oil/Motor Mounts are ALL new within the last 6,000 miles. The paint looks great and really shines..there are a few small marks and scrapes here and there as can be expected.
This car does have a High Flow Cat pipe on it, so it DOES throw a Check Engine Light every so often because the OEM cat isnt on there. It will come and go, but for inspection purposes you may want to get a used OEM pipe, or buy a Cobb Accessport to disable the light for this. I can point you in the right direction for that. This car drives amazing, and has a great deep tone to the exhaust when you open it up, without sounding too loud.
*I will also throw in an AutoBahn Rx8 front bumper I had on the car before. This is a 600-800 bumper, it just needs some paint.

Are you the 2016 Mazda Miata?
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Tech nerds are spoiled. Every year, there's a new iPhone that arrives following months and months of breathless speculation and rumormongering. We car folk have a more difficult life, because vehicles with the iPhone's cult-like devotion and following, while plentiful, only receive hefty updates after several years. Case in point, the Mazda MX-5.
There's a new one coming, and much like the iPhone 6, it'll arrive in just a few weeks. So, in lockstep with the tech folk, we're anxiously biding our time and waiting with baited breath for the expected debut date of September 3. Also, like Apple fanboys, we're clamoring over any hint or teaser as to what the next-gen Miata will bring, which is why we're showing you the above image.
That is, allegedly, the new MX-5 hiding under the sheet. Auto Motor und Sport has the image, which according to World Car Fans was released by Mazda. Of course, we've reached out to the Zoom-Zoom brand for verification of its authenticity, and will be sure to update as soon as we hear back.
Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
