For sale is your new 2004 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring Package.
The color is velocity red and it's loaded with power everything, leather, sunroof, and heated seats.
It has a NEW Mazda reman engine with a 12 month, 12K mile warranty from Mazda. The warranty started 04/30/13 so you there is 8 months left! The new motor has about 3000 miles on it. I am a former mechanic and installed the motor myself. I also installed a brand new Exedy HD clutch. Its the same as the OEM clutch just with a little more durability.
Common Problems With RX-8's that ARE REPAIRED on this car:
1. The Engine. RX-8's are excellent cars, but the motors are notorious for losing compression. 600 miles after I purchased this car, the engine lost compression. A new motor from Mazda is $2001 plus about $2000 in labor for the installation. According to the warranty records this is this RX-8's third motor, the first one made it to 27K and the second to 96K. If you are looking at other RX-8's that seem ok, even if they are from a dealer (mine was), be very careful. Its likely it was traded in or sold because the motor is loosing compression which can only be truly tested at a Mazda dealer. You will start to notice the motor takes a crank or so longer to start when the motor is hot. 600 miles later it begins to stall and won't start at all when the motor is warm. DON'T BUY AN RX-8 WITHOUT A WARRANTY unless you can afford another $4,000 for an engine replacement. This car has a new motor with excellent compression, and if taken care of, it should last another 50-100K miles.
Since the motor was installed it has been running pre-mix oil(2-stroke) to help lubricate the engine. First generation RX-8s only have four oil injectors instead of six on the second generation. I have been using Shell Nautilus. Other first gen motors not running pre-mix will end up failing pre-maturely. Its only a matter of time.
2. The ignition system. Most RX-8's have issues with the ignition coils going bad. This car has brand new coils and wires.
3. The emissions system. Other RX-8's have issues blowing through catalytic converters. This car has a new cat that was covered under warranty and is good to go. Dealer price on a new cat is $1200.
4. The clutch pedal. The RX-8 was designed with a poor clutch assembly. The metal will literally snap off and leave you stranded with no way to disengage the clutch. This car had the clutch pedal removed and professionally welded.
The Bad:
1. There are some hail dings on the hood. It is noticeable in the right light.
2. The body overall is not perfect. There are a few door dings, and a scrape on the rear bumper. I would give the body a 7/10.
3. The clutch does squawk a little while its engaging, this in no way effects performance, its just the surfaces mating.

Other than that the car drives like new. There is no rust because they car is originally from Washington and they use beet juice on the roads, not salt. Other RX-8's in the north may seem like they have no rust but just wait a year or two.
Sounds like RX-8's are a problem car, why would you want one?
RX-8's are amazing cars with the best handling in its class. The motor is powerful yet extremely smooth. I bought it because it was the closest thing to a roadster that would still fit a car seat in the back. Unfortunately we don't use it enough to justify keeping it as a fourth vehicle.

Next Mazdaspeed3 could go naturally aspirated?
Fri, 12 Jul 2013The new Mazda3 is a stunner, both aesthetically and from a driving perspective. As with all good things, though, there's always room for improvement. That's where the wizards from Mazdaspeed come in. Mazda's in-house tuner has been tweaking and turbocharging the five-door Mazda3 since 2007, with impressive results.
We've shown you renderings of what the third-generation Mazdaspeed3 could look like, and for the most part your response was quite positive. Now, AutoExpress has come out with details of just what might be under that long hood. According to our friends across the pond, the new Mazda3 MPS (that's what the Speed3 is called in Her Majesty's auto industry) will be arriving with a new, high-revving, naturally aspirated engine. Wait, what?
Yes, if the rumors are to be believed, the next Mazdaspeed3 will ditch its turbocharger. According to an anonymous engineer, the new MS3 will arrive in December (this is for the UK market, mind you) with a 200-horsepower, naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter mill is based on the Skyactiv engine in the new 3, and should be capable of a sub-seven-second run to 62 miles per hour.
Oliver Jarvis in a Mazda takes pole in star-studded Rolex 24 at Daytona
Fri, Jan 25 2019DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Oliver Jarvis broke a 26-year-old record at Daytona International Speedway in putting the Mazda DPi from Team Joest on the pole for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Jarvis went to the top of the scoring chart early in Thursday's qualifying session with a lap at 1 minute, 33.685 seconds. It broke the mark by two-tenths of a second set by P.J. Jones in 1993 in a GTP-class Toyota. The Englishman spoiled a strong run by Team Penske, which qualified second and third for the twice-round-the-clock endurance race that begins Saturday. Ricky Taylor earned the second spot in Penske's Acura ARX-05, while teammate Juan Pablo Montoya was third in his first time qualifying the sports car for the organization. Team Joest wound up first and fourth on the starting grid with Jonathan Bomarito putting its second car on the second row. Felipe Nasr had the fastest Cadillac DPi-V.R in fifth for Action Express Racing. Nasr is the reigning IMSA champion and led the way for four more Cadillacs in qualifying. Jordan Taylor was sixth for Wayne Taylor Racing, ahead of Juncos Racing's Agustin Canapino, then Tristan Vautier and Stephen Simpson for JDC-Miller Motorsports. James Allen in an Oreca 07 Gibson for DragonSpeed won the LMP2 pole. In the GT Le Mans class, Nick Tandy put a Porsche on the pole as four different manufacturers qualified in the first two rows. IMSA GTLM champion Jan Magnussen of Corvette Racing was second, Ryan Briscoe in a Ford GT for Chip Ganassi Racing was third and followed by Davide Rigon in Risi Competizione's Ferrari 488. Marcos Gomes gave Via Italia's Ferrari 488 the pole in the GT Daytona class. Related Video:
Mazda plans a new crossover for 2021
Sat, Nov 25 2017If Mazda is going to increase sales, it's going to need more crossovers. According to company CEO Masamichi Kogai, a new crossover that won't cannibalize sales of the CX-3, CX-5, and CX-9 is coming in 2021, to be built at the new U.S. factory Mazda is building in partnership with Toyota. The plant will be able to build 150,000 vehicles per year, and that full capacity will be reserved for the new CUV. With 112,235 units sold, Mazda's best-selling vehicle in the United States last year was, not surprisingly, the CX-5. With that in mind, it seems a safe bet that the new crossover will be a replacement for the discontinued CX-7 to slot above the CX-5 and below the CX-9. Kogai told Automotive News that the vehicle will be designed for America and built exclusively in the States. "We are actually going to introduce a totally new and different type of SUV," said Kogai. We don't know exactly what that means, but we hope the new model line follows Mazda's tradition of crossovers that are more fun to drive than their main competitors. Related Video:
