This RX-7 has been my toy for about 10 years, but I don't have the time anymore. It was originally prepared for track racing with the following suspension upgrades: Tokico springs, KYB shocks, energy suspension bushings, and front sway bar, front strut tower brace. It has 16" Rota Formal rims with Falcon Ziex tires with ~75% tred remaining. The 13B engine was originally from a GSL-SE, and has the '89 style upper intake. I'm running two 800cc injectors controlled by a megasquirt ECU - secondaries are not being used at this time - still has decent power. Has a Mindtrain header-back exhaust and an RS-R muffler. Although the car is currently registered and inspected, I consider it a race/project car for the following reasons: 1. It has no emmision controls (although here in Texas it is old enough that it no longer needs emmisions testing). 2. It is roughly tuned: it runs rather rich - especially while warming up. 3. The hood is a custom piece - with the scoop from a Turbo-II car. It was cut out & fiberglassed together. Looks good from the top, not too pretty from under the hood as you can see from the picture.

Overall the car looks great cosmetically, but it's not perfect - there are some small dings here & there. It was re-painted the original "Tender Blue Metallic" color some time ago. Also there is a rust spot on the undercarriage as seen in the picture. There is also a crack on the hood scoop trim as you can see in the picture. The seats are from a late model RX8 & in decent shape. Mounting locations were modified to use the original RX8 hardware. There is no radio - there is a 7" PC screen which I intended to hook up to the megasquirt for real-time viewing of engine parameters but never finished that. You can tune & view it through a laptop and serial cable which I will include in the sale. Some things to keep in mind: This is a GS model which is basically the base model - no power steering(helps build upper body strength), no power windows, no sunroof, but that makes it a very light platform for racing. THE OIL METERING HAS BEEN REMOVED - so you must pre-mix. This is the best way to guarantee the proper lubrication, but you have to remember every time at the pump. I am using a synthetic rotary pre-mix oil. It is quite loud! With the header-back exhaust and RS-R muffler, you will wake the neighbors every time you start it up. The cornering is incredible, but it rides very rough. The AC does not work and the fan/temp controls have been moved to mount oil temp, water temp, and a wideband Air/fuel ratio gauge. The oil & water temp gauges are currently NOT hooked up. If any of these things concern you, then PLEASE DON'T bid. I will include the car cover in the picture with the sale of the car. If you have any questions, please contact me BEFORE you bid. Thanks!

I wanted to add some additional notes: This car also has the limited slip diff from a GSL-SE. Some additional bads: You can see from the picture of the door panel that the vinyl is starting to ripple in some places. When I moved it I noticed some drips of oil from the oil pan - I do have a new oil pan gasket which I will include..

Aussie Mazda MX-5 Miata specs leak suggests power loss

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Mazda's 2016 MX-5 Miata reveal didn't include much in the way of specifications, but the car's debut seems to have blown the lid off of the rumormill, with the latest word out of Australia including fresh claims of curb weight and engine output.
Before delving into the findings from Motoring.com, we're going to take a moment to find a few grains of salt. It's not that we don't trust the Oz publication, it's just that we wouldn't be surprised to learn their car's specifications will vary from that of our eventual North American car.
Of course, we don't expect the footprint of the new ND model to itself to differ much - it will still be the most compact Miata ever - overall length is expected to check in at just over 154 inches - that's about 1.4 inches shorter than the original NA Miata and over 4 inches shorter than today's NC generation, yet it'll ride atop a longer wheelbase and be slightly wider while sitting lower to the ground.

Mazda RX-Vision Concept revives the rotary

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Mazda continues fighting to keep the rotary alive, and with the RX-Vision concept at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, the company unveils its dream for the engine's revival in a curvaceous sports coupe. Before any fans burst with excitement at the prospect, Mazda only "hopes" to have this gorgeous shape available in showrooms someday, for now. The RX-Vision starts with the classic elements of a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe by combining a long, low hood, short rear deck, and a passenger compartment way at the back. From there, Mazda's stylists add the swooping touches of the brand's Kodo design language. The result looks thoroughly modern and still subtly evokes generations of the RX-7 in the sculpted fenders and flowing roofline. Under that shapely hood hides Mazda's next-generation rotary, which the company has dubbed the Skyactiv-R. Unfortunately, details about it are quite scarce at the moment, including the displacement or even the number of rotors the engine uses. Still, Mazda is abundantly clear that development of the mill is very much moving forward. Mazda's designers opt for a retro flair inside with the deeply dished steering wheel and gauges in three pods. The rest is simple and elegant with a minimalist, metal gearshift rising from the center console and leather straps for door pulls. Finishing things off is a clean mix of red and black upholstery with a little carbon fiber for contrast. Expect live shots from Tokyo soon to show how the RX-Vision looks under the lights.

The rotary engine is a symbol of the company's "never-stop-challenging" spirit. RX-VISION represents a vision of the future that Mazda hopes to one day make into reality; a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car with exquisite, KODO design-based proportions only Mazda could envision, and powered by the next-generation SKYACTIV-R rotary engine. Rotary engines feature a unique construction, generating power through the rotational motion of a triangular rotor. Overcoming numerous technical difficulties, Mazda succeeded in commercializing the rotary engine, fitting it in the Cosmo Sport (known as Mazda 110S overseas) in 1967.
