Car was actually spotted for sale on here in November on a thread about Thurleigh Auction and previous owner was a member on RXOC Facebook page previously I believe.
I've been through over 20 cars over past 25 years and most of them Japanese sports cars and BMWs, including Litchfield Spec C's, Type Rs, S2000, 350z, TVRs, M3s V8s and 6 cylinder, lots of different Subarus etc and done quite a few track build project cars.
Always loved the design, high reving engine and chassis balance of the RX8 and especially like limited number cars, so the R3 fitted the bill perfectly for me. Wanted a small project to do, not going to be a track focused one as my last S2000, but more of weekend toy to keep me busy in my spare time.
The car came with 10 years Mazda main dealer service history and a further 2 years of private history. Immaculate service record, 69k miles and mechanically perfect, oil service done last week by Enjoyable Autos. It has wheel spacers 25mm and 30mm, Eibach lowering springs, Toyo catback exhaust, K&N panel filter and uprated ignition coils (cant tell what brand). Mods to do: swap to 20mm spacers all round, get Simply Dents out to pull out a couple of dings and touch up a few stone chips etc here and there, Satin chrome a few worn interior silver trim pieces, replace back seat base due to cigarette burn, fit AUX bluetooth audio, fit LED side light bulbs and 3m polish headlight glass, check alignment, eventually swop tyres to 235/40/19 MP4S or similar, fit new Mazda emblems, refurb steering wheel maybe, look for a better exhaust system, etc etc
Comments Welcome.. Ricky.
to the forum! Like you, I've had a few different cars over the past 40+ years, including a Ford Escort MkII Mexico, Fiesta XR2 and lots of other boring cars too. I purchased my RX-8 new in 2004 and love the car so much she's stayed with me for 17 years and I've added two RX-7's to the fleet in the meantime
