1987 Mazda RX-7 with 350 V8 engine and 700R4
Automatic Transmission and lots more… I love this car! But, my wife says that it is time for it to go. I do not have time to really enjoy the car anymore. And my wife wants her garage back. I have approx. $30,000 in mechanical upgrades and body work in this car. The “House of Color” paint job with bodywork alone cost $10,000. This car was created with a lot of sweat, money and ingenuity. The only thing that was not fixed or replaced on the car is the gas tank! This car basically has a 1992 Pontiac Trans-am drive train in it. Here are the main specifications for the car. 1. 350
V8 Engine – Was installed using a Granny’s Speed Shop engine cradle kit. a. Slightly,
lifted CAM – I do not remember the specifications for the CAM 2. Howell EFI Multi-Port Fuel Injection and Ignition System - a. Uses
an Edlebrock multi-port intake manifold, throttle body, harness, TPI ECM, with
HEI GM distributor and coil. This kit allows the engine to run in closed loop
mode. This kit alone cost $2,100.00 b.
AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs (Installed last summer.) c.
All new Spark Plug wires d.
Wired the “Service Engine Soon” Indicator to the Mazda’s original
“system” dumb light on the dash. (This is for looks. I wanted the interior of
the car to look original. This is an example of some of the extra details that
were taken with making this a sweet car!) 3. Electrical System - a. 100
Amp on wire Chevy Alternator. b.
Sealed Battery - Located behind rear speaker tower. c.
All of the unnecessary Mazda wires were removed from the car. Only the
wires needed to run the car were left in place. This makes for a clean looking
installation. d.
The electronics was calibrated so that all the sensors and gauges work
on the car just like factory. (The only exception is the speedometer. The
speedometer is still approximately 5-miles per hour fast at 60MPH.) 4. Cooling System - a.
22”x19”x3” Aluminum Radiator equal to a 5-row radiator rated for 480HP
(Purchased from Granny’s Speed Shop.) b.
I had a custom air dam built for the front end of the car by a
professional hot rod shop. This allows for proper airflow and keeps the car
from over-heating. c.
New high performance cooling fan that turns on when the car reaches
proper temp and when the air conditioner is turned on. 5. Drive Train - a. 700R4
Chevy Automatic Transmission mounted using a Granny’s Speed Shop transmission

Speed Shop power steering pump bracket. This power steering pump can be
manually calibrated using the onboard stepper motor to control the sensitivity
of the steering. b.
New Original Mazda Power Steering Rack and Pinion 8. Air Conditioning - a. Original
Mazda Air Conditioning – The air conditioning control system was modified
electronically so that the A/C demand button would work just like factory with
a Chevy 350 engine. The original Mazda computer used to control this.
Everything in the A/C has essentially been gone through. All of the A/C lines
and switches are brand new. 9. Exhaust System – a.
Corvette Center Dump manifolds. I chose to go with manifolds because
cast iron would keep the engine compartment cooler. I also thought that
Corvette knew what they were doing when the designed there exhaust systems. b.
Magna-Flow High Performance Dual Exhaust system c.
Two new high flow catalytic convertors in series for emissions 10. Brakes
– a. New
four piston Mazda RX-7 Calibers for better stopping power b.

Webasto Electronic Sunroof f.
Rear Round Tail Lights that were reconditioned and clear coated so

the car - a.

such a fashion that it allows your hand to naturally rest on it. b.
All of the gauges work just like they came from the factory. c.

storage in the back. This is rare – Most RX-7’s did not have rear seats!
You get the option of having it or leaving the car a two seater! d.
Everything works electronically except for the clock. The clock on the
dash needs to be fixed. e.
If anything needs work on the car it is the seats. The seats do have a
couple of tears in them. It will cost approx. $300 to reupholster them. 13. Extras
– a. Power
Windows that can be either controlled by the remote or by the buttons in the

with custom ramps that will allow you to raise the car up without scratching
the paint. 14. This car passes emissions in
the state of Colorado. This car is essentially brand new! This car has been for the most part fully restored. It will be almost impossible to find another RX-7 in this kind of condition.

2016 Mazda CX-3 First Drive
Fri, May 1 2015If there's any doubt in your mind about the importance of B-segment crossovers, consider this: our review of the 2016 Mazda CX-3 arrives on your screen less than 24 hours after our first test of the 2016 Honda HR-V. Both of these vehicles are hugely important entries for their respective automakers. And while they take a similar shape and will compete head to head, the truth is, they're very different products. The HR-V is a knockout because of its excellent packaging and added versatility over Honda's own Fit and Civic. It's a wholly competent product, and we imagine it'll be one of, if not the best-selling vehicle in the class. In terms of being desirable for customers, it checks all the necessary boxes: frugal, functional, efficient, and affordable. Mazda takes a similar approach, but focuses instead on its key strength of offering cars that are great to drive, and look damn good. What's more, the CX-3 won't have to share showroom space as the HR-V does with the Fit – the all-new Mazda2 isn't slated for the US right now. Instead, the new CUV will serve as an entry point into the brand. Because of this, Mazda is betting big on the CX-3. That all starts with a product that's appealing to the eye. Design director Derek Jenkins says Mazda "didn't want to do the funky route" with its compact CUV – a nudge to the Nissan Juke and Fiat 500X, right there. Instead, the CX-3 uses the Kodo design language that Mazda has perfected since its production debut on the CX-5 in 2012. Across the board, the company's products look incredible, and the CX-3 is right at home amongst Mazda's latest beauties. Notice the long hood with a flowing character line that runs over the front fender and down the body side, chiseled off at the end with tight rear proportions and a small overhang. Huge arches draw focus to the premium 18-inch wheels found on our Grand Touring CX-3, but swallow up the 16-inch rollers used on lesser models. The glass area is kept to a minimum, but visibility from inside is still quite good. Details like the LED accents in the head- and taillamps look premium and aggressive. From all angles, this is an attractive crossover. It's a bold, dynamic entry in a class filled with cutesy, oddball, and bland designs. Underneath the CX-3 is the Skyactiv chassis found in the new Mazda2. At 168.3 inches long, 69.6 inches wide, and 60.7 inches tall, the CX-3 is smaller than the Mazda3 in every dimension except height.
Mazda specs new MX-5 Miata with accessories

Or at least some of 'em, anyway.
