What I have for sale or trade possibly is my 1987 RX7 Turbo II two-tone Gold/Brown. I have owned this car for the last 10 years and have been very slowly building it up and fixing anything that needs to be taken car of on it. I purchased the car with about 71,xxx miles on it and it now has just a little over 81,xxx. As you can tell it doesn't get driven to often and that's part of the reason I'm looking to let it go. About 5,000 miles after I bought it the engine suffered a water jacket seal failure and so it began its life of becoming a proper rotary engine with a full rebuild.

    I have no doubt that I am forgetting a ton of stuff on this car but that's the important stuff I can thing of. Now about the car as it sits. This car has had many brains and changes over the last few years. After the rebuild I had a RETEK and a different injector setup, then I changed it to a megasquirt system and wasn't happy. Finally I settled on the Power FC, and eliminating the resistor pack and running the newest generation bosch injectors. That has made a world of difference in the driveability of this car.
Now would I recommend this car for the first time RX-7 driver? Oh no, this is not a easy car to drive. For starters there is no power steering, which may not bother too many. The abs system is gone, but I have replaced the lines and put in a new master cylinder to help compensate. The ORC clutch/flywheel combo does tend to make it a little tricky in stop and go traffic, but once your rolling you will fall in love with how quickly this engine runs through the rpm range. We're talking its almost like INDY car fast between revs.
For those of you that do not like the current hood I do still have the original TII hood for it, I also have a second exhaust for it that is a single side exit if you want to be loud and make some noise. I also still have the original wheels for the car. Not to mention a couple of boxes full of misc parts and pieces for the car.

    The body of the car is almost perfect, now remember this car is 26 years old and she is beginning to show some age. There are some dents in the current hood from some hail, it has a few paint chips from rocks and stuff along the lower edges of the body. There is a small dent in the passenger side door where my dog decided he could jump in the car through the open window. As for the paint, this was not a factory option, but this car was custom ordered direct from mazda with this paint combination, I have all the original bill of sales and the window sticker for it, as well as the order sheets for the custom two-tone paint job.

The bad stuff

    The AC system holds a charge and it does work, it just doesn't have a belt right now. I was working on making a custom pulley spacer so I could hook the AC belt back up with the cosmo serpentine pulleys but i never got around to it. However, if you need AC, I am including the original pulleys and belts to put everything back how it was.
    Tuning tuning tuning - I have spent most of my time tuning the car for driving. I was never really planning on making it a full throttle monster. I do not know how much power this car can make, 300, 400, 600hp!!! maybe who knows. I did have it on a dyno when I first installed the power FC to get some base tuning done on it. We never took the car past 5k and at that point it was making close to 275HP and about 300Ftlbs. I really see no reason why she can't make close to 400 at the wheels with a good proper tuning.
    The suspension was replaced with a pretty much oem/stockish setup before I bought the car. For the power it had then it was perfect, now it does need some attention. something a little more stiff would be great for it
    Some small plastic interior pieces are missing / broken. Usual stuff the triangle vents in the corners, the demister vents at the front of the windshield, the stereo surround is cracked in the normal place.

Mazda2 sedan debuting in Thailand this month?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Mazda is reportedly set to introduce a Mazda2 with a four-door sedan body. Unlike the upcoming CX-3, which is debuting at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show and is almost certain to be sold in North America, this other version's chance here are a bit more mysterious.
According to The Bangkok Post, the Mazda2 sedan will make its word debut at the Thailand International Motor Expo on November 28, and the traditional five-door hatch will be there as well. Both body styles will be built in Thailand with diesel engines and will be the first vehicles to adhere to the country's eco-car rules for oil-burners with a SkyActiv 1.5-liter diesel that will make 105 horsepower.
At this time, there's no indication whether the new sedan might also be sold in the US, but we're not holding our breath - remember, the previous Mazda2 sedan never made it Stateside, either.

Mazda5 will officially die this year

Thu, Aug 6 2015

We knew it was coming, but it just became a lot more official. Mazda is going to kill the closest thing to a driver-oriented people-mover when it phases out the Mazda5 MPV for model year 2016. The news was presented quietly and unremarkably, with Mazda giving its compact minivan a single-line obituary as part of an announcement recapping changes to the brand's lineup for 2016: "There are no plans at this time to bring a replacement Mazda5 to the US market beyond the 2015 model year." Despite being a critical favorite for its fun-to-drive nature and seven-seat capacity, the 5 never really resonated with consumers, representing a small percentage of Mazda's total sales. In its best sales year, 2008, only about 22,000 were sold, representing only about eight percent of the brand's sales that year. That percentage was even smaller in recent years, as the 5's sales fell into the low ten-thousands. In other Mazda news, the brand is making a number of small, subtle changes to its lineup. Almost all of them constitute new ore removed options and are available for your perusal in the attached press release. Scroll down for a look. 2016 MAZDA LINEUP: WHAT'S NEW Having launched two refreshed and two all-new models for the 2016 model year, Mazda North American Operations is keeping busy with broadening its award-winning lineup of cars and crossovers. For the 2016 model year, Mazda is keen to maintain its leadership in providing unmatched KODO—Soul of Motion design and excellent driving dynamics and democratizing advanced safety technologies like Mazda Radar Cruise Control and Smart Brake Support into even its smallest, most affordable vehicles. Mazda6 and CX-5 return for 2016 with new styling elements, interior amenities and refinement. Mazda CX-3 enters the North American market in a new, hot segment, and MX-5 Miata continues its mission to provide unadulterated driving thrills to the masses. Last but not least, Mazda3 has been repackaged for 2016. Below is a list of what's new and different with Mazda's 2016 lineup.
