FOR AUCTION
1980 MAZDA RX7
I have for auction a 1980 RX7. The vehicle is not running and was in the early phase of a total rebuild. This is a project car and will require being shipped or hauled to the location of your choice. My son and I had big plans for the little car but family illness has caused us to rethink our involvement in this project.
When we bought this car it had been sitting for years. The young man who owned the car had just had the motor rebuilt and then had a problem with the hydraulic clutch so he parked it. It sat in the same place for years until we bought it. It has good and bad points about it so I thought I would just list them and let the buyer decide. The starting price is $500.00 with no reserve. I have the title in hand. Good Luck!
THE GOOD
The Body shows no evidence of damage or wrecks
The glass is all good the windows roll up & down, the electric rear hatch works
The seats were replaced when the engine was rebuilt and are in very good shape
All of the interior parts are all there but many will need replaced
The engine turns over and there is fire to the plugs (we tried once to get it to start but it would not hit)
The 5 speed shifts without problems sitting still
The wheels are in good shape and would be nice when cleaned up (spare tire and wheel are included)
New water pump still in the box $35
New carpet complete set still in the box $200
New dash board cover still in the box $45
Engine, transmission, drive shaft, rear end untouched since rebuild
Most of the exterior trim mold is intact
Brakes will pump up and hold
The oil cooler and radiator intact, the block was drained when it was parked, I filled the radiator and block no leaks
No floorboard rust
Good Pictures
THE BAD
The tires are showing dry rot
There is some surface rust under the doors but it is not bad
The car has not run in years ( the engine may run if someone knows how to work on rotary engines)
The hydraulic clutch is bad
This is a project car which will require work to bring it up to an acceptable condition
The car will need to be hauled
Again this is a project car
As you can imagine there is NO warranty give or implied. I will be happy to answer any of your questions so ask before you bid.

2014 Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Wagon
Thu, 21 Feb 2013This was sort of a quirky surprise drive opportunity. I've been over here in Italy for a while now, and Mazda Italia contacted me seemingly out of the blue to drive test some version of the Mazda6 with a diesel engine. Supremo. The Mazda6 is a sexy everyday beast and I have been digging their SkyActiv-D engines for a while now. Very spirited units.
My contact phones me the day of, and says he can come by with the car, and then we'll head off to some sort of special spot for dynamics testing and technical conversation. Nice deal, say I.
My guy Ernesto pulls up outside of the house and - lo and behold - it's a dang Mazda6 station wagon with the very most recent 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D motor good for 148 horsepower and healthy 280 pound-feet of torque. The wee four-banger with 14.0:1 compression ratio hauls this 3,260-pound wagon around with the best of them. A decent 0-to-60-mph time of 8.7 seconds, too.
Will the Mazda2 be offered as a PHEV with a rotary engine range extender?
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.
Martin Benders, managing director of Mazda in Australia, spoke to Motoring about the company's future with hybrids and basically reiterated what the CEO said last year. The Japanese automaker only plans to offer electrified powertrains in places where they can sell in sufficient numbers to be profitable, like Japan.
Mazda has been playing with the rotary range-extender idea for years. In the RE prototype, the engine was exclusively used to charge the lithium-ion batteries when they were running low, and a 100-horsepower electric motor provided all of the propulsion. It gave the little hatch an estimated range of about 250 miles. The company reportedly took inspiration from its Skyactiv engines to make the Wankel have lower friction and a lighter weight.
Mazda CX-5 getting mild refresh
Thu, 14 Aug 2014Mazda has found both critical and commercial success with its CX-5 small crossover, and seems to be endeavoring to keep the momentum up with an upcoming refresh. As you can extrapolate from the obvious lack of the usual camouflage, the company isn't reinventing anything in the very near future of the CX-5, but it does seem as thought some tweaks are in the works.
Lighting elements fore and aft appear to have gone under the knife, with the front grille and rear fascia also seemingly to be slightly revised. The side mirrors now look slicker and slightly more upscale with their integrated turn signals, as well.
In all, expect a look that's a touch fresher, without being a radical departure from the existing visage.
