1988 Rx7 Convertible With A 10ae T2 Conversion on 2040-cars
Cibolo, Texas, United States
|
This is not a real 10th Anniversary (10AE) Turbo 2, this project is the car that Mazda should have made, complete it and you will have the first.
The donor car was a 1988 10AE Turbo II
The recipient car is a 1988 Convertible, white with black interior(from 89 convertible). (the most ideal recipient!)
All 10AE specific items used in this conversion include the following:
•Turbo Engine, ECU, Harness, and components
•Turbo Tranny and Driveshaft
•Turbo rear end, Axles, and Hubs
•Turbo Cluster
•10AE/Canadian Headlight Switch (for headlight washer button)
•Headlight washers and reservoir
•10AE Horn button
•10AE Badging
•10AE Wheels
•Door panels
•Front and Rear Bumper Covers
•Side molding
modified parts
•Stock convertible taillights painted white
•Have original 10 AE wing but it will need to be modified to be used on a convertible
•convertible seats are retained(turbo seats available if you want them instead but still need to be redone), but they will be done in leather like that in the Coupe, instead of the perforated leather that comes on the convertible seats
I started with a white 1988 Convertible Rx-7, I used this car as a daily driver for 3 years. I removed the NA 13B engine, Transmission and suspension and installed a good used S4 T2 Engine. From a 10AE T2 donor car I used the Front bumper with the Headlight washer system, front fenders with 10AE badges, 10AE Rims, complete suspension, transmission, and rear end. Black interior combination of 10AE and 1989 convertible Rx7 all black, including good 10AE steering wheel. Car is 75% completed. The engine is running and has been completely wired in.
What needs work. The Convertible top works mechanism and motors good but vinyl has small tears and will need replaced. needs radio surround, needs 10AE specific shifter. Seats need to be recovered, Standard convertible seats or T2 your choice I have both. Needs complete exhaust. Will need tires ones on car are good for shipping only.
I was building this as I would think that Mazda would have had they produced a convertible version of the 10AE. Sold as is, this is a running car will need some parts(exhaust, tires) but could be licensed and on the street in a few days or the projected completed by you in less than one week.
I realize this is a unfinished project but the hard work has been done, even at the buy it now price I am losing money. My loss is your gain.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
2014 Mazda6: June 2013
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The 2014 Mazda6 is our most recent addition to the Autoblog long-term fleet, and we spent the month of June getting to know our Soul Red tester, generally enjoying the honeymoon phase of this twelve-month relationship. During June, the Mazda6 spent the majority of its time with director of photography Drew Phillips, who in addition to putting together this pretty gallery of our rakish long-term car, had a lot to say about it as a daily driver.
You see, not too long before Mazda delivered our long-term 6, Drew bought a 2014 CX-5 crossover to support his growing family. The CX-5 was the first vehicle to use Mazda's full suite of Skyactiv technologies, and we've generally enjoyed the good-to-drive CUV. A lot of that CX-5 goodness lies beneath the more shapely lines of this sleek Mazda6 sedan, so it's only fitting that Drew had a lot of comparisons between Mazda's two housemates during his month behind the wheel.
Reminder: Come hang out with Autoblog and the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on Tuesday, May 19
Fri, May 15 2015Do you love chilidogs, French fries, meeting new friends, and the world's most popular convertible? Do you live in Southeast Michigan? Do you like lists of questions? If you answered "yes" to any but the last of those, we'd like to invite you to a little get-together we're hosting next week. Driving impressions are still under embargo for the US-spec 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, but somehow we've conned convinced company PR reps to show the car to you, Joe Public Autoblog Reader. We're enthused about telling you more about the ND Miata, but before we do we'd love to share a Coke and talk about cars. Here's the skinny. A group of Autobloggers will be hanging out at the Athens Coney Island, in Royal Oak, MI, next Tuesday, May 19. We'll have the car on display from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and we'd love to see you. If you're a Miata owner, we'd also love to for you to bring your car along for the party. The more convertibles the better (just be prepared to have your picture taken). Go ahead and set your navi for Athens – 32657 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, MI 48073 – and we'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday. Mazda Geeks unite. Related Video:
