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

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.

Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]
Sat, 08 Feb 2014Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.
Mazda MX-5 Miata to spawn coupe, Mazda6 to get quick successive updates
Thu, 28 Aug 2014
Despite the PRHT's availability, some are still yearning for a proper fixed-head coupe.
We are just days away from the official unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, and it's fair to say that the mouths of enthusiasts are watering in anticipation for the latest version of this iconic roadster. Hard facts about the new droptop aren't easy to find, and in the absence of further disclosure from Mazda officials, the rumormill is in full swing, including word that a long-awaited hardtop coupe model will figure into the new generation's plans.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
