This person has already performed the best mod one can do to improve a Mazda RX8.....remove the engine. $1000 for the whole thing including the blown engine. Rotary fans are probably going to flame me to hell for this!
Could be a decent base for a fun project. $2500 for an LS swap kit and build up a budget LS engine. https://oppositelock.kinja.com/speed...und-1125469009
2004 Mazda Rx8 Pulled Engine - $1,000 (New Westminster) https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc...220710206.html 
2004 Rx8 6spd manual, no engine, catalytic converter, radiator and coolant resevoir. Looking to sell entire car. I'd consider a trade for a snowmobile in some capacity.
The good
-120k ish kms, clean title non rebuild or salvage.
-6 spd manual
-Cruise control and volume control on steering wheel.
-Trans and clutch are in good condition
-Spare full size tire/rim
-No rust, been garage kept while I've had her
The bad
-No engine, Apex seals went and I don't have the money or time to fix her up, you're welcome to the parts
-Small amount of mold on seatbelts
-Paint cracking on very front of bumper
-Driver side sun shade is falling apart

Since the RX8 is so much more work to rebuild than an RX7 it seems like there's lots of swap kits out there for whatever brand or budget you prefer. I always liked the idea of a 1UZ in one. Quote:

That said I fucking love the 996 front end, rear end, and side profile. The only thing that really sucks is the centre dash.

rx8 seems like a practical compromise if you can't have a 2nd car
not convinced it's worth swapping a piston motor in though

RX8 is a good chassis for a swap. I'd probably do a K20 or Ecotec, since they're re cheap and troll-ey. Quote:

mine still looks new at 217k kms.
997 buttons peeled off 17kms from the dealership
Plus they come from the era of full dial pad shitty nav screens. 
Cheating  by showing the 996 GT3 console delete interior (easy mod for 996 owners)

The downers I found with the 996 interior (at least the 996.1) was:
No glove box
No cup holders (I've seen a 996 turbo that had one)
The rubber coating they put on buttons doesn't seem to hold up.
Otherwise, the lack of screens certainly makes it more timeless.

Ported heads the compression ratio was lowered to 10.5:1 the motor was built for a turbo setup. The head was completely done as well. valve springs, valve grind and almost every single accsessory was replaced around the motor as well. The car was in the shop from January 4th 2020 till may 23rd 2020. genuine 19" bbs csl wheels with 275/35r19 and 235/40r19 Potenza RE71R's purchased 3 months ago never tracked.

junkyard harlequin - cool
if it was a real one (they made about 250 for north america) it would be worth some money, even if poor shape

-Mark | Weird post to get failed on. Of all the contentious things I post, pretty sure posting 997 > 996 except for the price is the closest thing to a universal truth on the planet?

2004 BMW E46 M3 - $24,500 (cloth seats) 
For sale is my 2004 E46 M3 6MT coupe with very rare M texture interior. BC car, sold new in Victoria, subframe reinforcement has been done using reddish motorsports plates ( better then turner plates ). Driveshaft guibo replaced. Car is equipped with some performance upgrades that are all less than 2 years old.
18x10 Et25 Apex Arc8 wheels with sticky 200tw tires 75% remaining
ISC N1 track coilovers, 32 way dampening adjustability with camber plates
Turner motorsports solid subframe bushings
ECS tuning silicone intake elbow
K&N drop in panel filter
Stoptech stainless brake lines with stoptech street pads on all 4 corners
Custom 3 inch single exhaust with magnaflow muffler, sounds amazing and weighs almost 100lbs less then oem
This car is amazing to drive and is a true driver’s car. Clean title. Runs and drives great. Only issue is valve cover gasket is starting to wheap but that is a cheap fix. Rare and desirable car in very rare spec so do not bother low balling me because it’s not going to happen. Only way I will consider trade or partial trade is if it benefits me financially.
Seems reasonably priced. | Did anyone check out this car? Looks like there was a price drop, surprised it hasn't sold yet.

Also define very particular to owner's taste?
The pictures look good-ish. Car doesn't look like it's been detailed in awhile.
I don't have a bone in this fight because I don't have 25k to drop on a car like that, nor do I have an extra indoor parking spot.

Hear me out: to all the Johnny Trans out there this one's for you. At face value an AP1 with 91k kms + a veilside kit for 20K sounds not too bad in the current market when ones with double the KMs are asking more and in worse cosmetic shape. Car looks fairly clean and either a repaint or oem bumpers with more track spec wheels could bring this s2000 from 2002 to 2020 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...1885040432420/ | |
