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..

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary Edition goes bold

Thu, Feb 7 2019

For a car with a mischievous grin and penchant for fun, the MX-5 Miata's color palette is on the drab side, but thankfully the 30th Anniversary Edition gets a vivid hue called Racing Orange. Mazda says it "evokes the breaking dawn of an exciting new day," and that it's partly inspired by the bright yellow of the Miata Club Racer concept from 1989. That's all well and good, but it looks to us more like the orange from the 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B race car. Whatever the reason, we dig the color. It will be important that the new owners like it, too, because the color is everywhere. It's on the brake calipers, door sills, air vents, stitching and piping. Everything else is a black or charcoal color, including the gorgeous Rays forged aluminum wheels, exclusive to this model, and the Alcantara trim on the dash, doors and seats. All versions of the special Miata come with Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, Bose sound system and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The manual models add a limited-slip differential, Bilstein shocks and a front shock tower brace. Mazda isn't making many of these special Miatas, with just 3,000 of the soft top and RF combined for the world. The U.S. will get only 500. Customers can order one now at a special configuration website, and they had better bring plenty of cash. The manual soft top starts at $35,915, and the manual RF starts at $38,515. Adding an automatic ups the price by $499 on the soft top and $400 on the RF. Related Video:

Mazda3 officially unveiled

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Mazda has officially pulled the sheets off of its 2014 Mazda3. The all-new compact boasts a wheelbase that's a full 2.4 inches longer than the outgoing model, yet the hatchback is a nearly two inches shorter from stem to stern. The machine is also lower and wider than before, which should give occupants plenty of space indoors. The driver gets treated to a new human-machine interface that features a new Active Driving Display for information like vehicle speed and navigation instructions conveniently in the line of sight. Likewise, the vehicle's infotainment system has received a complete rebuild.
Outside, the new Mazda3 makes full use of the company's KODO design language, and to our eyes, the result is one of the most attractive entries in the segment. Jump under the hood, and buyers can expect to find a Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, though no fuel economy estimates are available. For those looking for a bit more thrust, Mazda also offers a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline mill with 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque. So far there's no word on the diesel engine available to our friends in Europe.
Both engines can be mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic and feature the automaker's i-ELOOP brake energy regeneration systems. The recaptured energy is stored in a capacitor and used to power the vehicle's various electrical systems.
