1980 Mazda Rx-7 Gs 2+2 13b Swap on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
I have for sale my 1980 Mazda RX-7 with SA22C VIN code.
Engine: N/A 4-port 13B built with 12A irons and GSL-SE housings. Engine has a large-streetport, is dowel-pinned on the hot side, has RA Super Seals and rotors are race-toleranced for high RPM use (spark cut-off set at 10,000 RPM). Was built by the folks at Kilo Racing in Saint Cloud, FL. Compression is good at about 100PSI on each face of each rotor. The OMP is still hooked up and functional, but I also premix a small amount of TCW-3 2-stroke oil to supplement that just to be safe. Engine has approx. 22,000 miles on the build. Has twin MSD boxes and MSD Blaster coil packs with Magnecor EFI shielded racing wires. Plugs are brand-spanking-new NGK BR8EQ-14's. Is fed through a Racing Beat intake manifold topped off with a Holley 600 (Not RB) and Moroso low-pro air cleaner. The exhaust exits through an RB header collected into a 2.5 in pipe that runs to a no-name gutted muffler. The Carb has been rebuilt and retuned, new spark plugs (as stated above), new fuel filter, new Mallory FPR, new distributor cap and rotor, and is midway through and oil change. I have the old parts on hand as proof. My car has had the A/C removed, and twin belts run to the pulley and water pump/radiator fan. The fan does it's job excellently! Never seen the temp gauge go above half way. Drivetrain/Suspension: Driveshaft is welded on both ends and car has original non-LSD axle. The transmission was rebuilt at Kilo Racing at the same time the engine was built. The exhaust rubs the axle so you can hear clunks now and then. Engine mounts are in superb condition. Discs and drums are in good condition as well. The car is lowered 1 in from factory height and sits on stock wheels wrapped in Kumho Solus KR21's 185/70-13 section tires. Front suspension has RB sway bar. Interior: All original black vinyl and is worn for it's age. Seats have tears along the inner seams like every other older vehicle. The headliner is missing and a few knobs and other small trim pieces. My car also has rear seats. Not sure if they are factory or not. Exterior: Body was resprayed 7 years ago the factory Stardust Blue color. There is some bubbling along the spoiler, driver side corner corner of the the rear glass, and in front of the windshield. Haven't seen them grow since I've had the car and are still small enough to take care of easily. The car also has a body-colored sunroof that has it's vinyl interior panel in place. Goes up and down with no problems and doesn't leak a bit. Windows need help going up and down, and also don't leak. All of the glass on the car is original. All the exterior lighting works except the turn signals. They didn't work when I bought the car, so I used hand signals and simply got so used to doing that I never bothered to check out why they don't work. Reason For Selling: I've used my RX-7 as a daily driver for the last 7 months out of necessity and at 9-10 MPG, my wallet is perpetually thin, and as a college student it gets hard to feed the beast and make payments for courses. As my daily, I take maintenance VERY SERIOUSLY with this car and it has rewarded me with superb reliability. I never have to worry if she'll start in the morning. If you're looking for a d.d. RX-7 or a base for restoration, this is a perfect starter. Also, again, since it's my daily, the mileage will obviously increase over time. I'm close to 78K on the chassis and 23K on the engine. Next oil change is due at 79K. I've put a good amount of money and time into parts and labor (other's and my own) to make sure she runs for many more miles. I've had my time with the car, enjoyed it, loved it, and now I'm ready to let it go. Clean title, registered antique, call or text (321) 527-6824. Thanks for looking! |

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
Mazda Raceway gets first new MX-5 Cup as pace car
Sun, Aug 16 2015Mazda's motorsports department officially finished the first example of its new MX-5 Cup racer. But while the rest of the fleet will be used in the Global MX-5 Cup championship, this initial unit has been designated for another purpose. It's been dedicated to serve as the new pace car for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Based on the latest ND-generation MX-5, the Cup racer was previewed in racing spec this past November ahead of its debut at the SEMA show. Though we've still yet to see the final spec sheet, it clearly benefits from key upgrades to the rolling stock, not to mention the added roll cage, racing buckets, and more. The pace car also features emergency lighting and a livery designed by Mazda and applied by Sticky Fingers Design out of Huntington Beach, CA. The beefed-up little roadster will join a cadre of pace cars used at the legendary Northern California circuit. Other pace cars in the fleet include a Mazda6, RX-8, CX-5, and the previous Miata. The season is winding to a close at Laguna Seca, with the Pirelli World Challenge finale and Mazda Road to Indy still set to take to the track next month.

(August 13, 2015) – Mazda Motorsports used the annual car-fest known as the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion to roll out the first production 2016 Mazda MX-5 Cup race car. This particular vehicle is guaranteed to lead races as it will be the newest pace car in the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca fleet of Mazda safety vehicles. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Cup race car follows a 26-year history of the MX-5 Miata in motorsports. The first race cars to be sold to customers will be used in the 2016 Global MX-5 Cup, known in the U.S. as the Battery Tender Mazda MX-5 Cup. With the 2016 racing season still many months away, placing the first production race car into pace car duty allows Mazda to gather additional durability data while showcasing it in front of one of the most influential motorsports crowds of the year. "For Mazda, this weekend is the perfect blend of past, present, and future," noted John Doonan, director of motorsports for Mazda North American Operations. "We are celebrating our motorsports heritage on the track with our vintage race cars.
Did Mazda designer Derek Jenkins leave to head up a 'Stealth Project?'
Sat, Jul 25 2015Not long after Derek Jenkins officially gave the 2016 MX-5 Miata to the buying world, he's left the Mazda building. Jalopnik reported that the head of design for Mazda North America changed the current job description on his LinkedIn profile to "Stealth Project." Mazda backed up the discovery with this reply to Jalop's inquiry: Derek left Mazda last Friday. He left on great terms in order to work on a new endeavor. We wish him the best of luck. He will be missed, but we are sure that he will do great things in the next chapter of his career. That "last Friday" would be July 17. Emphasizing the "stealth" bit in his new position, as far as we can tell, Jenkins still hasn't publicly answered any question about what he's doing. Every automaker has secrets, but traditional automakers usually make a hubbub about hiring big-name designers, especially one with Jenkins' resume. For his new employer to go all Ghost Recon with all information, well that's the kind of mystery this summer needs. The obvious culprit would be a certain fruit-named company in a certain Cupertino, CA office park. If that ends up being the case, Jenkins would be the second chief designer at Mazda NA to go electric: he replaced Franz von Holzhausen in the position after von Holzhausen went to Tesla. Various other Apple Project Titan hires have made the news, though. For all we know, Jenkins' project might not be automotive. So let's just go ahead and cue the speculation. We're looking forward to whatever he's got coming, and to whoever gets nominated to keep the full head of Zoom-Zoom going at Mazda NA.
