1979 Mazda Rx-7 Mint 13b Street, Autocross Or Show! No Rust Never Damaged. on 2040-cars
Lake Zurich, Illinois, United States
VERY SPECIAL 1979 RX7 W/BULLETPROOF 13B LASER STRAIGHT I'll do my best to describe this very unique RX7 but I'm sure there are things I will forget to mention...so here goes. The car gets massive attention everywhere it goes! It has won a trophy in import class at every car show i have entered it in (8-10). It is super competitive autocross events. I have won 1 first place but usually finish 2nd or 3rd because the driver is not as great as the car. It is a pleasure to drive down the road smooth and straight. It sounds soooo good with that rotary buzz. The suspension is setup a little hard for optimum handleing. The air conditioning was removed for weight reasons. If you wanted to install it back the parts are readily available on Ebay and all ducts are there. The heat works great. There are aftermarket oil pressure, oil temp, water temp. and air/fuel ratio gauges. All stock gauges and lights work as they should. The interior is perfect with new Mazda Speed seats. New premium windshield.The pics tell the story. The engine was built by Hayes Rotary Engineering at a cost of 4912.00. The header and intake are Racing Beat w/a Delorto Carb. The ignition is a MSD/direct fire w/3 MSD coils. This engine is capable of 10,000 RPM! The 5 speed trans and HP clutch are excellent. The tires are about 5 years old and are 205/45/16 on newer rims, I forgot the brand. The car does not leak a drop of anything and runs at 180 in the hottest weather. The car also has Tokico Lumina shocks all around, adjustable in front. The fronr end is completely new. 1984 SE posi rear end and front struts/brakes. That about covers it. I do not have a video or anymore pics. The car is back on rollers double covered in the garage. I really love this car but just don't get a chance to drive it very much, I have 3 other toy cars and a shifter go kart and I'm a 50 y.o. kid. There is a file full of receipts, pics and manuals. No BS please. Sold as is with no warranty. Car averages 25MPG on regular. The price is superfair and will not be considering offers right away. The car is also listed locally. Thank for looking. |

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars
Tue, May 10 2016Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3
Tue, 25 Feb 2014To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales. Fortunately for Mazda, they're selling well.
These days, the Japanese automaker is building the Mazda3 (known domestically as the Axela) in Japan, China, Thailand and, as of last month, in Mexico. The company's expanded global production capacity has helped Mazda reach four million units of the Mazda3 sold around the world since the first model was introduced over ten and a half years ago.
Over the course of that decade since its introduction in June 2003, Mazda has gone through three generations of Mazda3, the newest model benefiting from the company's Skyactiv technology and even encompassing a hybrid model in the Japanese Domestic Market.
Mazda mulling furniture, designer goods in bid to command higher prices
Wed, 01 Oct 2014Brands like Porsche and Ferrari make a mint every year by selling branded lifestyle goods like shoes, hats and even wilder items. Bugatti takes things to the extremes with things like its $84,000 belt buckle. These products not only make their respective companies some extra money, but they reaffirm their high-end design aspirations to wealthy buyers. However, the next firm possibly dipping its toe into this upscale pool is a bit more mass-market - Mazda.
That's right. The Japanese automaker best known among enthusiasts for its segment-defining Miata and rotary engines is considering its own line of luxury goods in the coming years called Mazda Design. The project is the brainchild of styling boss Ikuo Maeda, and according to Automotive News, he has backing from company CEO Masamichi Kogai. Although the green light isn't quite on yet, Maeda is already brainstorming. "Not only furniture, but I'd like to build a Mazda Design brand. That's my dream," he said to Automotive News.
The possible project is just one aspect of Mazda's move to become a near-premium brand. According to Automotive News, it wants to see higher transaction prices partially by offering more stylish design than its rivals. Launching a line of luxury goods is meant to communicate this new focus to customers.
