FS: 2004 GT Lightning Yellow RX-8 w/MS kit, $13,500 or more with optional stuff

***Herblenny*** · 06-10-2008, 05:17 PM

For Sale: 2004 GT Lightning Yellow RX-8 w/MS kit.

Its rare Lightning Yellow with GT package: Dual oil coolers, power leather seat, 5 disc changer, bose premium sound, sunroof, all the options minus the Navi....

Car currently has 108K miles on it but the engine was replace about 2 years ago and has about 20K miles on it.

Since purchasing the car a year ago, I've replaced all the fluids, recently troubleshooted ignition issues and starting issues, replaced all the brake fluid, brake pad, transmission and diff fluid, etc. I've also put new battery and all the small dings have been taken out.

I've also added front and rear AUTOEXE strut braces.

Car has OEM (not replica) Mazdaspeed front bumper and side skirts (Over $2000 option).

As is above, I would like to get what I owe to the bank..... $13,500.

I don't really need to sell it but one less car at the house wouldn't hurt!

For $14,000 I'll throw in not yet installed Mazdaspeed dual canister catback and I'll leave the HKS twin power ignition amp (both valued over $1000).

For $14,300 I'll throw all above plus Spare black base seats (pair, which I bought just in case I was going to track this car).

For $15,250 I'll throw all above plus SSR Comps with tires (18x8s and 18x9s 235/40F and 245/40R)

And for $15,750 I'll throw ALL above plus the rear bumper below... Its brand new never been painted..

If you have any other questions, please shoot me a PM.

OH,... If you need reference, I should have tons.. I organize Deals Gap Rotary Rally (www.DealsGapRotaryRally.com) and also the owner of Rotary Car Club.com (www.RotaryCarClub.com).

Thanks!

I'm not buying anything... Just going to finish up the 7s and not have car payments

***Herblenny*** · 06-10-2008, 05:44 PM

Also, For $16,500. I'll throw in all above plus the spare core engine (short block) I have and all the accessories and junk I have for the 8.

By the way, I'm not selling anything separate unless I sell the car by itself... AND Prices above are FIRM!!

djmtsu · 06-10-2008, 06:24 PM

I should have bought an older BMW instead of the new Mazda3, but its too late now.

Bump for a sweet RX-8.

***Herblenny*** · 06-11-2008, 11:15 AM

Well, I shouldn't of gotten rid of the Acura... Should of driven that thing til it died

I also forgot to mention that this is a 6 SPEED with upgraded clutch.

I also bought a used Exedy clutch as a spare..

For $17,000 - I'll throw in my spare 6SP tranny. Pretty much at 17K, you'll have a spare complete drive train to go with this car... I think its a deal

Again, Price are firm. If I don't sell it, I don't sell it

Just saw this Phil, I can't believe you've finally listed it. I wish I had the cash laying around at the moment but the wife will leave me if she even sees me entertaining the idea. If you could afford to take the hit I'd just keep it, gutt it out and make it a dedicated track car. I think you'd enjoy it far more in that capacity than a dedicatd daily beater. Course its hard to eat 13+k just for a once in a while toy.

***Herblenny*** · 06-12-2008, 02:34 PM

Well, I bought it for daily and when I tracked it, I loved it!!! Then I had issues with coils and dirty TB made me want to kill myself as troubleshooting those two problems took me months!!!

If I don't sell it, I think I'm just going to paid if off and get my spare engine built or put a 13B REW in it! I have several of those laying around

SLOASFK · 06-12-2008, 07:19 PM

Hey Phil, got any shots of the interior? Black/red leather? It's a beautiful car...

and I do need a new DD...hmmm...

***Herblenny*** · 06-13-2008, 08:28 AM

Interior is all black... But I bought a black and red steering wheel (not installed) and the 40th anni floormats (also not installed). I'll try to take some pics.

$100T2 · 06-19-2008, 10:06 PM

Phil, that's gorgeous. If I wanted an 8, I'd have to get that from you.

Thanks!

Here are the latest pics with some Forgelines. Just replaced the front tires so that it would fit better with the 8.

With Forgelines, it would be extra

***Herblenny*** · 06-23-2008, 08:36 AM

My wife likes the new wheels and we've decided we are going to keep the car
