2004 RX-8 TURBO - Blown Seal
Year: 2004
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $8500
Mileage: 92000
Color: Brilliant Black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): TX
I've got a 2004 RX-8 w/ manual transmission, 92k miles. The motor is blown, has a bad seal on the rear rotor. Surprisingly, the car runs, but I wouldn't drive it far. I have a TON ($12k +) of money sunk into this car.
Parts:
-Precision Turbo 62mm air-cooled, dual ball-bearing
-Greddy Type R Blow-off valve
-Greddy Profec-B II Boost Controller
-Tial 44mm external Waste Gate
-Exotic Speed midpipe
-Custom catback exhaust with Magnaflow Mufflers
-Custom Oil catch can and winshield washer reservoir
-Cobb AcessPort for tuning with custom tune from Secret Services
-Enkie ZR-1 18x8 wheels not a scratch on them, tires have at least 80% on them
-Pioneer DVD touch screen with Ipod adapter
-AEM Boost Gauge and Oil Press.
-Wide-band AFR gauge (I forget the brand)
-Walbro fuel pump
-Yellow P2 injectors (780cc I believe)
-Tanabe GF210 lowering springs
-tinted windows
-factory navigation!
-2 tone black and brown leather interior
-Brand new Red Top Optima battery ($300)
I have also put brand new coils on with MSD spark plug wires about 200 miles ago. I also had the rear trunk badges shaved off except the "RX8" was moved to the center and sprayed black. Very clean look.
This car just needs a new motor and front bumper (hit a traffic cone that was left in the middle of the highway).
Was putting down about 300rwhp when I dynoed it. Torque at 265 ft/lb at this weight, the car is fast. All on stock internal motor. I was beating new Camaro SS, Dodge Viper SRT-10 truck, Mustang GTs, etc.
I have a baby on the way and need another car now. No time or money to fix this. My loss is your gain.
