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..

Mazda going back to oval grille with next MX-5 Miata
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The original Mazda MX-5 Miata was distinguished by an oval grille - a design trait that gradually evolved into the smiling cat face on the latest model. But Mazda, according to the latest intel, is planning on returning to that oval grille with the new model in the works.
The revised grille will cap a slightly longer form than models past, while still keeping weight down to a minimum. The stretched wheelbase was reportedly adopted in order to meet the requirements of Alfa Romeo, which is jointly developing the new platform together with Mazda for use on a new roadster of its own.
The new Miata is expected to adopt the 1.5-liter Skyactiv four found in the Mazda3, albeit returned to rev higher and deliver more power and torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. The Alfa version, meanwhile, is expected to use a 1.4-liter turbo four with a dual-clutch transmission. Sources anticipate the new MX-5 to debut first, possibly at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show a little less than a year from now.
Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
Half of Chinese car buyers won't shop Japanese over hard feelings
Mon, May 26 2014The hard feelings between China and Japan is no real secret. Besides modern-day disputes, the two countries have had a long-running enmity that dates back to well before the atrocities of World War II. All things considered, then, it shouldn't be a shock that half of Chinese car buyers wouldn't consider a Japanese car. This survey, conducted by Bernstein Research, found that 51 percent of 40,000 Chinese consumers wouldn't even consider a Japanese car – which, again, isn't really surprising, when you consider stories like this. According to Bernstein, the most troubling thing is the location of these sentiments – smaller, growing cities where the population is going to need sets of wheels. We imagine it wouldn't be as big of an issue in traffic-clogged Shanghai or Beijing, but these small cities are going to become a major focus for automakers. "Nationalistic feelings are an impediment. [Japanese] premium brands will struggle," analyst Max Warburton wrote in a research note, according to The Wall Street Journal. Things will improve for Japanese makes, although China will remain a challenge, with Warburton writing, "the one thing that comes out most clearly is that most Chinese really want a German car. While we expect Japanese brands to continue to recover market share this year, ultimately the market will belong to the Germans." There are a few other insights from the study. According to WSJ, Japanese brands are viewed better than Korean brands, and they're seen as more comfortable than the offerings from Germany or the US, despite the fact that everyone in China apparently wants a German car. This is a tough position for the Japanese makes to be in, as there's really not a lot they can do to win favor with Chinese buyers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly as the importance of the PRC continues to increase year after year.
