    Make: Mazda
    Model: RX8 231
    Year: 2003
    Current mileage: 52,744
    Tax: June 12
    Test: Jan 13
    Price: £2,500
    Location: Luton, Bedfordshire

    Brief description:
    Full dealer service history up to 36,000 miles. I bought the car at 40,000 in December 2010 and immediately did an oil change. Another oil and filter change at 48,000. I only use the Mazda Dexelia oil, and used a HKS magnetic filter on the last change. Used genuine Mazda before that.
    Oil cooler hoses changed by Milcars Mazda in Watford under warranty in January 2011.
    GReddy larger capacity baffled oil pan and HKS Hi Power cat-back fitted in March 2011.
    Car is running on Prodrive GC-07c in satin black 18x8.5 et44 with 245/40 18 on the front.
    Work Emotion CR-Kai in gloss black 18x8.5 et30 with 245/40 18 on the rear.
    Absolutely no curbing at all on the rims, they are immaculate.
    I have a set of 4 of the Prodrives, but one is buckled. This can be included if wanted. I also have the original wheels, but they are in terrible shape, straight, but curbed and the paint has peeled from cheap hand car wash dickheads using harsh chemicals. :no:
    I'll chuck these in for £20 if wanted.
    There is a genuine Nardi Gara steering wheel and HKB boss bought from :dw: that I'd like to keep, so the car will come with the standard steering wheel. The Nardi is bright blue so chances are you won't want it anyway.

    Bad bits:
    4 small chips in the windscreen, these have been here since before I owned the car.
    Rear left lamp has some condensation in it, apparently a common thing.
    Some light scratches on the O/S, can be seen in the pictures.
    Notchy change from 1st to 2nd when it's cold, absolutely fine when warm.

    Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask via PM.

    Sunday evening bump.
    Next car I have my eyes on is Shaiz's Cefiro, as insurance for me on the Top Secret FC3S is a joke unfortunately. Bit of a bummer as I'm in love with that yellow paint job and Bomex kit.

    Just as a heads up, although I would obviously cut a better deal for a straight sale, I would take your RX-8 as a p/x for my Cef.

    As the car has been in my garage the condensation has cleared out of the rear lamp now.

    Throw some drifty PX my way, preferably something insurance won't rape me on like an S14a :D
