    Mazda RX8 231 Velocity Red.

    ###price drop###
    6spd gearbox, Satnav, Amazing bose stereo, BC racing BR fully adjustable coilovers, 18" et20 Rota grid alloys with decent tyres 5-6mm, Powerflow manifold back exhaust including a de-cat(cat available), 10months MOT, 64000 miles, Mazda factory aero kit, none of the common hot start problems and makes good power with decent compression. Tinted rear windows, wind deflectors, rear parking sensors, recent brake pads all round and front calipers rebuilt 4k ago, New coil packs, plugs and leads 4k ago, recent oil change inc filters. Sump and oil lines replaced(common faults), Recent A/C regas, Factory fitted HID's, interior lighting changed for LED's
    Wheels and suspension are worth £1400-1500 second hand and are pretty much new.


    It is a shame to sell it as its a real head turner but needs must. Looks lovely, sounds lovely and goes well plus cheap to insure for what you get. Ive not driven anything this balanced handling wise plus it actually fits 2 child seats and adults in together! It makes the sx feel like a tractor in the corners.

    Needs a rear wheel bearing which i have ready to fit(passed MOT), CD player doesn't play CD's but it has an SD card slot anyway so never bothered me. Bit of rust on rear arches and boot by 3rd brake light which is common for these. Engine light is on because of the Decat. Exhaust surround is a little melted but cheap to replace (£20), a small chip was picked up as an advisory on the MOT. I has had some paint in places in the past.









    looking for £2300 ono

    Think of it as a £1000 car with £1500 worth of bits that you could sell on.

    This is a great looking car which goes very well. Surprised it hasn't sold yet mate. Pictures don't make it look as hard as it is in the flesh.

    I know the reputation preceeds them. Not the quickest car in a straight line but amazing in the corners.

    Yeah its a very good twisty road basher and its fun as even 40+ so your not breaking the speed limit but still getting a shift on the twist stuff other powerfuller cars struggle with.

    Maybe its the rust putting people off or the engine horror stories. Ultimately if you don't look after the oil they fail. Thats half of the trouble i think people just drive them and dont check the level often enough. I am seriously thinking i might keep it as a winter hack now. Trouble is i need to pay for a zafira gearbox/clutch replacement
