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.

Top Gear recounts the fiery demise of the Mazda Furai

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

This past September we reported on Top Gear's destruction of the Mazda Furai, one of the finest concept cars to ever grace an auto show stage. It turns out that the Furai, which was burned nearly beyond recognition at the hands of the British magazine, was actually destroyed back in 2008, and that the entire thing had been covered up for five long years.
Now, a few months after publishing that heart-wrenching composite of a half-baked Furai (shown above), the lads at TG have published their account of just what resulted in a priceless concept car being transformed into a smoking hulk on a Suffolk runway. Click over to read the full story about just what happened, along with pictures of the Furai before, during and after the inferno.

2014 Mazda6: July/August 2013

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Our newest long-termer - the Soul Red 2014 Mazda6 seen here - arrived in my driveway at the end of June. Without hesitation, I immediately put it to work as a daily driver, carpool bus and family vacation sled, and it accomplished all of those tasks with aplomb. Now, more than 4,000 miles down the road, I am left convinced that Mazda's latest midsize sedan is one of the best in its segment.
During the past 60 days, I have subjected the Mazda6 to scorching travel across Southwestern deserts, wheezing climbs over 8,000-foot-high Sierra Nevada mountain passes and basking in the cool ocean breezes of Malibu. It traveled with four passengers and a full load of luggage from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe, and it braved the bumper-to-bumper freeway congestion on a weekday trip down to San Diego. It accomplished everything that was asked of while hardly skipping a beat - it has only required a regular sip of unleaded fuel to keep it moving forward.

Mazda CX-3 almost ready for LA Show

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The Mazda CX-3 is just days away from its unveiling at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, but elsewhere in the world, the Japanese brand still has the compact crossover disguised for testing. These spy shots aren't too camouflaged though, and when combined with the previous teaser image, they give a pretty clear idea what the new model will look like.
The grille here is well covered, but the photo from the front reveals the similarities to the design sketch. The rear shows a similar horizontally oriented design as the Mazda2, which the CUV is based on. However, the dipping sides around the B-pillar from the teaser don't appear to be on this tester. Even with all the swirls, the vehicle looks fairly attractive.
Mazda is doing a fantastic job of keeping mechanical details about the CX-3 a secret. It's not yet known whether the model is front-wheel-drive only or if all-wheel drive is also an option. The crossover also likely shares the Mazda2's engine, which isn't revealed for North America, yet. The diminutive CUV will compete with a huge crop of new classmates, including the Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, Chevrolet Trax and Honda HR-V. Check out the gallery for the latest glimpses of this Japanese CUV just days ahead of its full debut.
