Hello,
Unfortunately it has come time to part with my Rx8. Here's some background on why I'm selling the car.
About a month ago (just a week before I had scheduled a clutch replacement) I was coming off a freeway off ramp and the clutch wouldn't disengage. I was able to pull to the side of the road as the car stalled. In the weeks leading up to this event I had felt the clutch slipping if I accelerated rapidly and had scheduled a clutch replacement.
I had my car towed to Mazda of Riverside the next morning for them to take a look at it. One of the techs recommended we do a compression test before dropping the transmission as it wouldn't make sense to put a new clutch on a car that would soon need a new engine. Unfortunately one of the rotors showed low compression readings. I'll attach the compression printout.
While I've really enjoyed owning and working on this car it's come time to part ways. If I had garage space I'd probably keep the RX8, but I only have space for my daily driver....
Vehicle Information:
Mileage: 124,000 miles (original engine)
Manual Transmission sport model
VIN: JM1FE173X50142560
Here's a history of the vehicle:
-Purchased from original owner in 2011 at about 50,000 miles
-Original owner had regular service at Mazda dealer (I have all the original records including window sticker)
-After purchase I took over all regular maintenance (Castrol 5w-20 oil change every 3,000 miles, Redline MT-90 transmission, etc.)
-Car was always garaged: kept it in the parking structure during college at Cal Poly Pomona, moved out to LA were it spent nights in my apartment complex parking garage and days in the garage at work
The GOOD:
-Cllean exterior, always garaged (as mentioned above) just minor nicks that are normal for a car with over 120,000 miles. A good portion of the car was recently repainted after I scraped a pillar in my parking structure. All paint was done at a AAA recommended shop, Ben Clymer's and carries a warranty.
-Interior is clean as well, the seats have no rips or stains, just minor scratches on some of the console plastic
-New interstate battery installed, less than 3 months old
-Replaced radiator and coolant reservoir
