Up for sale is my 1991 Mazda RX7 Turbo II that I used as a track car. As you can tell from the VIN, this was not originally a Turbo car, but was a 1991 N/A Coupe. The original Turbo donor car was wrecked, and this chassis was the recipient. Everything was swapped off the Turbo car onto this car. So the most important pieces everyone will ask about is the rear diff and the suspension, and yes, it is all S5 Turbo drive train, suspension, everything.
Here is what I have done to the car:
So, everyone always has a story to tell of why they are selling their RX7, here is mine. I took this car to the Harris Hill Raceway track days every once in a while when I lived in Texas. My wife who is in the Air Force got orders to North Bay Ontario Canada, so I had the car shipped (along with 3 of my other RX7's) to Pennsylvania where her parents live. On our way up here to Canada, we stayed in Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks, and I would take the car out on the mountain roads. The last day I drove it, I ran it out of gas, had my wife bring me a 5 gallon jug of gas on the side of the road, and drove it back to where we stored it. (it ran fine). After getting settled here in Canada, we went back down for Christmas, and while there, I started all the cars to let them run a bit, but this one gave me problems. It would start and idle, but as soon as you touch the throttle, it bogs and dies. I brought it up here with me to Canada to work on it, and as far as I have gotten with it is make sure the fuel pump and relays are working. I suspect that the fuel lines, fuel filter, or injectors have junk in them from letting the tank run empty. As my other project (Supercharged 13B powered 1989 GTUs) has taken precedence, I simply do not have the time or motivation to work on this one, as I don't have tracks around me to run it anyway. If you have any questions, please let me know. I can take pictures of whatever you need. It would only let me post 24 pictures, but I have pictures of the lights on, and I have a picture of the fuel pump, as well as pictures of all three VIN numbers that match (door, firewall, VIN plate) Title is a Texas title, and I have the import papers from when I brought it across the border. I have a video of it on the track spitting flames if anyone wants to see that. I can tow this to the Toronto area and everywhere in between there and North Bay. If shipped anywhere else in Canada, I can assist with loading. I am also going back down to Pennsylvania mid July, so I can take it down to PA and if you live in the states, you can estimate your shipping from there. |

2014 Mazda6: June 2013
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The 2014 Mazda6 is our most recent addition to the Autoblog long-term fleet, and we spent the month of June getting to know our Soul Red tester, generally enjoying the honeymoon phase of this twelve-month relationship. During June, the Mazda6 spent the majority of its time with director of photography Drew Phillips, who in addition to putting together this pretty gallery of our rakish long-term car, had a lot to say about it as a daily driver.
You see, not too long before Mazda delivered our long-term 6, Drew bought a 2014 CX-5 crossover to support his growing family. The CX-5 was the first vehicle to use Mazda's full suite of Skyactiv technologies, and we've generally enjoyed the good-to-drive CUV. A lot of that CX-5 goodness lies beneath the more shapely lines of this sleek Mazda6 sedan, so it's only fitting that Drew had a lot of comparisons between Mazda's two housemates during his month behind the wheel.
2014 Mazda6: July/August 2013
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Our newest long-termer - the Soul Red 2014 Mazda6 seen here - arrived in my driveway at the end of June. Without hesitation, I immediately put it to work as a daily driver, carpool bus and family vacation sled, and it accomplished all of those tasks with aplomb. Now, more than 4,000 miles down the road, I am left convinced that Mazda's latest midsize sedan is one of the best in its segment.
During the past 60 days, I have subjected the Mazda6 to scorching travel across Southwestern deserts, wheezing climbs over 8,000-foot-high Sierra Nevada mountain passes and basking in the cool ocean breezes of Malibu. It traveled with four passengers and a full load of luggage from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe, and it braved the bumper-to-bumper freeway congestion on a weekday trip down to San Diego. It accomplished everything that was asked of while hardly skipping a beat - it has only required a regular sip of unleaded fuel to keep it moving forward.
Recharge Wrap-up: Renault-Nissan hits 250,000 EVs, will the next Toyota Prius be an SUV?
Sat, Jun 27 2015Will the next Toyota Prius be an SUV? Mazda and Toyota recently reached an agreement to share powertrain technologies, which will help Mazda comply with California's tightening ZEV restrictions with a plug-in vehicle. On the flip side, Toyota will have access Mazda's Skyactiv diesel powertrain, which a source tells Motoring will be used in an SUV based on the Toyota Prius (and, as Hybrid Cars suggests, on the Toyota C-HR concept). Interestingly, the collaboration will also give Mazda access to Toyota's fuel cell technology, which could mean more hydrogen powered cars on the road and the subsequent expansion of hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Could it also make way for a long-awaited hydrogen powered rotary-engine sports car from Mazda? Read more at Motoring. Samsung SDI unveiled two new lithium-ion stationary batteries at Intersolar Europe. In doing so, Samsung throws its hat in the ring with the likes of automakers Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, using knowledge from electric vehicle batteries in the arena of home solar energy storage. In addition to its 3.6-kWh battery, its new 5.5-kWh and 8.0-kWh batteries offer storage solutions at a larger, more practical scale for solar customers. Called the All-in-One, the battery system, borrowed from electric vehicles, is made up of a photovoltaic inverter, battery PCS and lithium-ion battery, and promises efficiency, compactness, fast installation and an affordable price.

The quarter-millionth EV was a white Renault Zoe sold to a French computer engineer from Bordeaux named Yves Nivelle. While he credits a government program offering a ˆ10,000 rebate for EV buyers trading in an older diesel vehicle for helping him make the decision to pull the trigger on the new Zoe, "I have to say, I was convinced the first time I drove the car. It's a real pleasure to drive and it feels good to do my part for the environment," says Nivelle. The Alliance had sold around 31,600 EVs from January to May this year, up 15 percent from the first five months of 2014. See the video above, and read more in the press release below.
