HMC Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi all, decided to move this RX8 on (genuine reason for sale- poss incoming V8 LDV millstone) It's in really superb condition- no dents or scratches at all, a tiny scuff on the rear bumper, that's it! 190bhp version, swift and sounds amazing! Full service history and book pack, 53k, 3 keys, full leather, heated elec seats, parrot thing, lovely to drive. The only issue is it doesn't like to start when hot. Needs at least a 20 minute gap. I've not got involved investigating it. Starts perfectly when cold and when running up to temperature.

Sheefag Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 At that price, you'd buy two so that one's always cold. Serious value, all joking aside. Six-cylinder, beko1987, Pillock and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The Boxing Day sales on here are causing me some panic, that's for sure. Good grief. egg, loserone and richardthestag 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Ah, I look forward to regaling folk in the future about this.

Skizzer Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I guess that means it wasn't you then DW - I was suspecting you'd raided the Retro Japanese petty cash tin and biscuit fund jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I guess that means it wasn't you then DW - I was suspecting you'd raided the Retro Japanese petty cash tin and biscuit fund jar. I was VERY tempted. Would have been a fine way to pay tribute to Kenichi Yamamoto, the Mazda engineer who developed the rotary engine, who died today aged 95.

djoptix Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I guess this probably isn't the Autoshite way, but with a £1000 engine rebuild that would be good value. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1duck Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 If anyone else wants a slightly rougher one for the engine transplant idea mentioned above : : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-RX8-192-PS-2616CC-SPARES-OR-REPAIR-SPORTS-CAR-RACE-TRACK/222745658052?hash=item33dcad02c4:g:Cm4AAOSwJ5tZ1hAN Crazy that a modern car can eat its engine in less than 80,000 miles. I do wonder what the 2 year warranty covers from those engine rebuilders is it limited mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
