FS: 2004 RX8 6-speed with new VA safety and emissions insp. $3200
90 picture photo album at: http://www.fototime.com/inv/4EDD977DC840362
This is a black 2004 RX8 with the gray cloth interior. New Virginia safety and emissions inspections. It’s bone stock and runs and drives excellent. Just had the recalls done for airbags, control arms and fuel system. The suspension is tight and the steering wheel is on dead center. No pulling to one side or pedal pulsation when braking. 3 tires excellent, one fair. Engine is strong and transmission is tight but grinds a little going from 3-4 if you shift quickly. If you do it normally, it doesn't grind. Also, it throws a cat conv. code occasionally, turning the Check Engine light on. It still passed emissions by having it inspected between these events. Paint is excellent except faded on rear spoiler and body has a few small dents and scrapes. Interior is very clean with little wear. Price is firm. If you can find one cheaper that doesn’t need another $1,000 or $2,000 in work to pass VA safety or emissions inspections, buy it. Could deliver at low cost. atikovi@email.com

Ok well I guess unlike you other SAME thread about this that it is a manual transmission?
If there is a transmission issue manual transmission are very expensive for both the unit and the labor to install them.
I also am not sure how you pass the emission testing... while the engine check light may have been deactivated by clearing the DTC you cannot clear the counters and also it takes general a few days to clear the monitors and only after the problem that cause the DTCV was corrected. You cannot clear the monitors only reset them. This prevents someone trying to pass an emission test by resetting DTC and resetting the monitors. And if you go into the ECVU and reset the clocks it will show that as well. So again, not sure how you passed the emission test... legally? I will say I am only CA Emission testing qualified and here you connect directly to the OBDII connector which then goes directly to the Air Resources Board.
IF your CAT is falling, they are generally expansive but not as much as the transmission. If it is only the Bank 1 and bank 2 Ho2 incorrectly communicating with the ECU that is a fairly easy resolve. But if you CAT is failing you could either completely burn it out which you will get multiple DTCs and monitors will be in fault status and other issues or it could completely or partial clog which can super heat the exhaust there and create heat in excess of 2000f

1) That post is from 6 years ago so not sure why you're responding now. I sold it back then.
2) Emissions monitors set after driving the car. Some take a mile or two, some may take 50 or 100 miles. As long as the required monitors set before the check engine light comes on, it will pass emissions inspection.
