Description:

Up for sale is a 2004 3-Rotor Conversion RX-8 in Lightning Yellow. I have a clean and clear title in hand. The front fenders, hood and front bumper were painted when the Mazdaspeed bumper was installed for a color match. A clear bra was then installed at Xpel - the leading edge of the hood and fenders were also done. Also included is a spare chrome wheel and the Mazda factory shop manual and car cover. All the factory gauges work as well as the factory steering wheel controls for the stereo.
I purchased the car with an (undisclosed) A-series weak engine and when I discovered this, I purchased a C-series core with brand new housings. The engine was rebuilt 2500 miles ago. I still have the original engine and the 20B housings (re-useable) from the core engine. I have run Idemitsu rotary premix 1-1.5oz. per gallon for break-in. Unfortunately, during dyno-tuning the fuel pump failed, causing the engine to lean out and as a consequence the apex seals sagged. The car is tuned for 12psi and still runs, but the engine requires another rebuild (low compression). It's a sharp car and gets compliments everywhere, but after all the time and expense I'd like to move on. I'm willing to sell the car alone or with the extra engine. Asking $25,000 with both engines, $22,000 without the spare. The 2nd disassembled motor needs one more rotor and full rebuild kit to use. If you have any questions, feel free. Serious inquiries only please. No test drives unless cash is available. Thank you for your interest. Below is the list of parts:

C-Series core with 3 brand new turbo rotor housings. New oil seals, o-rings, side seals, corner seals, competition oil seal springs, 2 mm Rotary Aviation Super Seals, Exedy Twin Disc Clutch.

Hi, the way I interpret the post, since the car is 25k with the extra engine and 22k without your selling the 20b for 3k?

That was a package price to make purchasing the car and spare motor more enticing together. The 20B e-shaft and thick intermediate iron are worth well over $3K alone.

Unfortunately, everything did sell last summer. Best of luck in the search nonetheless.

Rx8 20b

In process of rebuilding spare 20b and also hopefully by summer refresh the motor currently in the car.Definitely needs wider tires and better transmission.Will start posting pics as things progress,slowly but surely.

This is what has me occupied.
