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.

Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

A 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.

Feds investigating Mazda CX-9 over suspension problems

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2007-2008 Mazda CX-9 because the lower ball joint in the front suspension can potentially separate while driving. An estimated 54,000 examples of the crossover might be affected. The investigation was prompted by six complaints of this happening on the road. Because the complaints are coming more rapidly as of late, NHTSA thinks the issue could be getting worse. The problem also appears to be more prevalent in states that use salt on their roads in the winter. None of the failures caused any injuries, and all but one happened at 20 miles per hour or slower. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "assess the scope, frequency, and safety consequence" of a potential problem and can sometimes lead to recalls.

SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received six (6) complaints (VOQs) alleging incidents of front suspension LBJ separation in MY 2007 through 2008 Mazda CX-9 vehicles. The reports appear to show an increasing trend. One of the separations allegedly occurred at 40 mph and the other 5 incidents occurred at speeds between 0 and 20 mph. The first VOQ was received in October 2013, followed by 2 reports in late 2014 and 3 reports in the first 5 months of 2015. Four of the VOQs are from states using high volumes of road salts (?salt states?) which, for purposes of this investigation, include: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The other VOQs were from northern Virginia, which borders the ?salt state? region, and South Carolina. ODI also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles. A preliminary investigation is being opened to assess the scope, frequency, and safety consequence of the alleged defect. The six VOQs associated with this investigation are: 10717510, 10714469, 10695142, 10668978, 10640541, and 10546535.

2015 Mazda3 interior spied for the first time

Wed, 08 May 2013

In terms of exterior appearance, not much has changed from the last time we spotted the next-generation Mazda3 out testing. Oh, sure - we can see plenty of details that clearly show the new Kodo design influence (that front end reminds us a whole lot of the sleek new Mazda6), but these latest round of spy shots don't really show us anything we haven't seen before. Oh, wait, yes they do - the interior.
Feast your eyes on the Mazda3's insides, showing a vastly reworked interior that also takes cues from the automaker's most recently refreshed products. We can see that there's a simple, clean center stack with a slim row of heating and cooling functions, and up top there's a large, presumably touchscreen display, with redundant controls found just aft of the shifter.
We expect that the 2015 Mazda3 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, packing both petrol and diesel engines. A sedan variant is also in the works, and should debut shortly after the hatchback.
