Paint is rough, but no rust anywhere. "Air Bag" light has recently come on. Two extra set of factory wheels used for race tires. Car needs larger wheels and tires to handle the power this car makes. I will bring the car to Tweakit in Smyrna Tn for serious buyers to inspect.

Car was being turned into an SCCA ASP car, but due to the economy there is no longer money in the budget for this.

Dean, you are making this tempting! Guys, this car is strong!!! Somebody buy it so I don't and have to explain to my wife.

I'll trade you a slightly modded RX8 with a blown engine and some cash for it. Dan seen it...it's a nice 8.

Sorry, but like I said there is no money in the budget for a project any more. I'm trying to get back to just a daily driver, all these cars just nickle-n-dime'ing me to death.

lilring · 08-06-2010, 06:25 PM

would you be intersted in trading for a stock rx8? with a few other details

dinosaur · 08-09-2010, 09:21 AM

not really, I have three cars now and can barely afford one. It just needs to find a good home. thanks for the interest though.

dinosaur · 08-09-2010, 09:27 AM

I forgot to mention, the car does have full interior, including the rear divider. It is black/charcoal cloth. It has never been in an accident, except for the cones at the autocross and one walnut that hit the hood. Clear coat is pealing off the read bumper cover. Think of the body as your blank canvas to create your own masterpiece. Stock front bumper cover with spec 2000 lower lip.

I'll get some more detailed pics and post them soon.

dinosaur · 10-23-2010, 05:50 PM

I'm adding some pictures. I haven't caught up with Dan for the compression test but it's coming.

dinosaur · 10-23-2010, 05:52 PM

a few more exterior shots, bad spots included.

dinosaur · 10-23-2010, 06:01 PM

interior shots showing vacuum at idle. I have the rear shock tower covers, they are off to facilitate shock adjustment.

dinosaur · 10-23-2010, 06:05 PM
