2006 Mazda RX8 231
The time has come to part ways with my RX8. It’s a 231 model and has been built over the last 4 years with around 20k put into it. Never skipped a beat, everything is healthy with recent compression test. Always serviced every 2k miles with 10w40 mineral oil and K&N filter. I have built the car as a street car but on the setup you can gear it towards track spec or full on stance car with just some simple alignment changes. It is fully functional in its current form, doesn’t bottom out, rub, scrape etc, and the air cups in the front mean that steep driveways or big speed bumps are not an issue. To be honest I never thought I’d sell the car but I’m realising it’s time to start something new. I have put an extortionate amount of time, money, energy, and care into building this. No corners have been cut and there are no nasty surprises.
The bodywork is not perfect, there are stone chips and blemishes dotted around the car, but you can only really see these if you are looking for them. Unfortunately I never received the history of this car, however I have kept good records of receipts etc over my ownership and everything is still healthy and working well.

Price:
On Blitz: £8,500
On AVS Model T7: £5,500
Could be interested in a swap for something Jap. Interested in projects
