CAa Re-listed due to local buying not coming through.

This is a very nice, low mileage 1985 GSL-SE.  1985 is the last year for the highly sought after GSL-SE. Top of the line in the RX7 lineup! Only options available for GSL-SE were leather seats and power steering. This car features the power steering option. The SE's are quickly becoming collectors items especially low mileage, rust free  original ones such as this car. Central Texas car for most of its life, and correspondingly free from major rust. Car was repainted its original color by the first owner. Only modifications is window tinting. Car retains its original suspension & drivetrain. Car drives very well. heat blows hot. Great oil pressure. All guages and systems work. Drives very nicely.  A/C works and blows cold.


Runs well. Recent work I have done to this car is:
1) replace radiator, water pump, 
2) all drive belts
3)rebuild Power Steering pump
4)add  header and exhaust manifold gasket
5)New oil metering pump gaskets
6) new vacuum hoses for Intake
7) new upper and lower intake manifold gaskets
8) new fuel rail pulsation dampner and fuel pressure regulator
9) installed cleaned injectors and rubber o rings/grommets
10) new master cyl for brakes
11) drivers side rear tail light replaced.
12) throttle body removed and thoroughly cleaned. TPS adjusted to spec.
13) New fuel pump and fuel filter and renovated fuel tank
14) Bosch Starter is not very old but it is not "brand" new.
15) New rear brake caliper on drivers side.

Things not 100% or modified:
1) The original SE seats were replaced by perfect original non-SE seats due to a rip in the seat. 
2) Original radio  and original power antenna work. Speakers are matching set of 4 Blaupunkt and work.
3) Front tries need replacing. They hold air but tread is low and age of tires is old. Rear have good deep tread but older.
4) AC holding the charge but could use a can of freon. Still original R-12 in system.
7) small ding in lip of passenger side front fender
8) small crease in drivers side front fender just forward of tire in lower front section of fender. (where fender joins lower front valance area)
9) small dent in the underside  driver side floor board
10) original muffler has broken tip and is loud. Recommend replacing the original muffler.

This was basically a 1 owner car before I got it. The fellow I purchased it from bought it from the original owner but it sat for approx 5 years inside storage before I purchased it. Car still has its original manuals and even the salesman's business card! Purchased new in WACO, TX.

2014 Mazda3 2.0L Hatchback officially rated at 40 mpg highway

Thu, 11 Jul 2013


The Environmental Protection Agency has spoken, and these are the miles per gallon numbers it has officially bestowed on the 2014 five-door Mazda3 hatchback with the SkyActiv-G 2.0-liter engine: 29 city, 40 highway, 33 combined when fitted with the six-speed manual; 30 city, 40 highway and 33 combined when equipped with the six-speed automatic.
Those numbers exactly match the fuel economy targets that Mazda had set for the car when optioned with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. For comparison to other cars in the segment, the EPA numbers for the 2013 Honda Civic sedan are 28 city, 39 highway, 32 combined when its 140-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with the five-speed automatic. The Hyundai Elantra GT gets 27 city, 37 highway and 30 combined according to the EPA when its 148-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The numbers for the 2014 Ford Focus aren't out yet.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

Mazda Raceway gets first new MX-5 Cup as pace car

Sun, Aug 16 2015

Mazda'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. Related Video: MAZDA RACEWAY IS READY TO PACE THE FUTURE MONTEREY, Calif. (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.
