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. 


EXCELLENT LOW RESERVE PRICE!!! far below the amount of parts added to the car and the kbb

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot.  CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.

Bauer Catfish is a Miata-based trackstar in the making [w/videos]

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

We're not trying to make a joke here. The creation you see above really is called the Bauer Catfish, and while the name is about as attractive as your average bottom feeder, the car itself is built on a sexy notion. Take the mechanical bits of one 1990-2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata, add in a tube chassis for as little weight as possible, complete with some custom body work and go forth. Bauer says the finished product weighs in at just 1,550 pounds, and the company will be happy to pull the stock four-cylinder to drop in a healthy General Motors LS V8.
The pre-production prototype shown above competed in last year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, finished the race and earned a spot on the podium in the "anything goes for sports racers" ESR class. Very cool.
If you're looking for a dedicated track car, it may not get any better than this for the money. Expect to pay around $13,900 depending on options, plus the cost of your donor Miata. That's a good sight cheaper than a used Chevy Corvette Z06 and likely to be quite a bit more fun. After you're done watching it in action in the brief videos below, check it out over at Bauer Ltd.

Will Mazda sell diesel hybrids in Japan in 2016?

Thu, Aug 14 2014

Could the "Zoom Zoom" automaker start making hybrids that go "glug glug glug"? Mazda, known for its fuel-efficient Skyactiv engine line, will be the first Japanese automaker to make a diesel-hybrid vehicle for Japan and Europe. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Mazda may start making its oil-burning hybrids as soon as 2016, and the powertrain may reach fuel efficiency levels of as much as 95 miles per gallon (one the more lenient Japanese driving cycle). That'd make such a vehicle line about 30 percent more fuel-efficient than standard diesels and about eight percent more fuel efficient that the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid (known as the Aqua in Japan). Mazda has been dismissive of hybrid and electric powertrains, instead focusing on Skyactiv technology to maximize fuel efficiency from conventional gas-powered engines. Diesel powertrains account for about half of the light-duty vehicles sold in Europe each year, while Japan's diesel sales of 76,000 vehicles last year were about three times as many as were sold there in 2012. In January, Mazda said that it would delay the introduction of its Skyactiv-D diesel engine from what was to be a spring 2014 debut. The reason was to fine-tune the engine's performance/fuel economy balance. Mazda representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the diesel hybrids.
