Rx8 I bought from kyallroad jeremy with my car dolly.  Currently no battery, have never heard it run.  Rough around most of the edges but the seats are sweet.  6 speed.  Parts car?  Before i put in battery and start diagnosis, does anyone want it for $500?  

loc:  valley city ohio.

Love these and tempted to find one in the rust free south but I drive very short commute (ok presently none at all) and I'm afraid I'd kill it. Remanufactured Renesis costs how much again?

Started right up.  110k.  It revs to redline at light throttle but if you put your foot down hard it cuts out.  Hot restart was pretty quick so there's lots of hope.  
 

going to let it cool down and do ecm learn reset procedure i found.  It's still $500 for a grm member right now but if i make it run nice the price shall adjust accordingly.

I've been trying my best to be like Ranger50 and just ignore this.

it has a small bubbly area behind LR wheel otherwise is very solid.  it was down by cincy originally it appears so nowhere near the salt we get.  

title is signed and ready to go.  it'll drive onto a trailer just fine.  bring a battery because i've borrowed the one from the wartburg to start it.  will relearn the computer tomorrow and see what's up.  radio works but speakers suck.  oil pressure gauge running is above halfway.  cooling fans kicked on.  moved it back and forth, clutch feels good.

AWESOME news!

 

I was literally just asking permission from SWMBO and clicking in here to show her the pic...  Dodged a bullet.

 

Did Ranger50 get it?

GRM is the only place I know that people are happy to not buy the car or to buy the car.

reash1019 came Saturday or sunday and looked and was thinking about it.  I think the fact that i got it running made him stop thinking

Wasn't there another car that got traded around the GRM community a few years back?  Endlessly swapping hands as each had hopes of turning it into something awesome.

Bon voyage RX-8, good luck to you and your new owner!

In reply to KyAllroad (Jeremy) (Forum Supporter) :


adam handed it to me because he didn't want to leave it in the car.  I put it in my pocket.  A week later i pulled it out and said something like "i better put this somewhere safe"

 

the issue is i was not expecting to sell it, so finding it eventually would have worked fine.  But i got on a liquidation kick and john is liquidating his infiniti collection to me, so make room and whatnot.
