Just purchased this vehicle a few weeks back from a private seller in Maryland. I've been trying to get the vehicle registered in California, however due to the LS1 Conversion and California's emission laws I've run into some obstacles. Unfortunately I don't have the time or patience to deal with the headache. The previous owner had no problem registering the car in Maryland so I am optimistic it can be registered in another state, or perhaps here in California if your willing to jump through hoops. Due to my limited knowledge on the subject, the vehicle is being sold as-is with no guarantees regarding emission or registration compliance.

With that aside let me tell you more about this Uniquely Astounding RX-7.

This is a 1990 RX7 Roadster which has been professionally transplanted with an LS1 engine and T56 Six Speed manual transmission. The transplant was done in January 2009 by KDR Performance in New Tripoli, PA. The shop was later renamed ‘Speed One’. The chassis currently has 49,980 original miles on it while the Engine and Transmission have just under 40,000 miles. The engine, transmission and ECU are from a 2004 Pontiac GTO / 5.7L. As you will see from the photos no expense was spared on this conversion. Receipts have been passed down from the previous owner and will be included with the sale.

All factory gauges including the tachometer, speedometer and odometer have been integrated as part of the conversion and fully calibrated. The air conditioner and heater work flawlessly. The soft-top is in excellent condition and features a true rear-glass panel with defroster. All windows on the vehicle have been professionally tinted and show no signs of fading or fogging. The stereo has been upgraded with a Single-Din Pioneer CD Player along with upgraded speakers throughout. The stereo system runs off an auxiliary amplifier which is concealed under the rear cargo divider along with a red-top OPTIMA Battery. The factory head-rest speakers have also been integrated into the stereo system. Please note that the headrest volume controller built into the center console has been disconnected as everything is controlled from the head-unit. The power widows, stereo antenna and side mirrors all work flawlessly. The interior of the vehicle is in impeccable shape with only minor signs of wear on the driver’s seat. The carpets are in great shape and show little signs of wear.

The exterior of the vehicle is in excellent condition. The paint shines bright and shows no signs of swirl marks or fading. From my understanding the paint is all original with the exception of the trunk-lid which was repainted by the previous owner when it was de-badged. The vehicle has 17” Polished BBS wheels which have ZERO curb-rash. The tires are Bridgestone Potenzas and are practically new. The Brake Rotors and Pads have been upgraded to Brembo’s however the calipers are original.

Under the hood it has the LS1 Engine equipped with Hinson HSC headers, HSC Cold air intake and Fuel regulator. The exhaust system has been completely upgraded with 3” stainless steel pipes, Magnaflow catalytic converter and Dual Racing Beat exhaust Mufflers with Stainless Steel tips. Not sure if it was ever put on the dyno, but the previous owner estimates around 375rwhp.

The car is equipped with a Viper ESP-800 alarm system. When activated the alarm will lock the doors and roll up the driver and passenger window. The car is turn-key and ready for a new home. I will be including two sets of keys, two alarm remotes, factory manual, car cover and battery tender. The only think not working is the cruise control.

Please note that the vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied. I am still planning to drive the vehicle on occassion so the actual mileage will be slightly higher than noted in the auction description. I will do my best to answer questions and will reach out to the past owner if I don’t have the answers. If you wish to have the vehicle inspected I will gladly assist in bringing the vehicle to a mechanic within a 15-mile radius from San Diego CA 92110.

Good luck bidding!

Flyin' Miata's 525-hp V8-powered ND finally hits the streets

Fri, Jul 29 2016

Flyin' Miata, in its valiant quest to turn Mazda's roadsters into small, Japanese Corvettes, has finally finished its first V8-powered ND Miata. The company has been slowly teasing us with images and videos for months, but it wasn't until this week that the car finally made it to the streets. As soon as the current ND generation Miata was released, Flyin' Miata started the work to shoehorn a GM LS3 under the hood. The company has a history of building brutish, V8-powered Miatas. It sells everything from minor parts to full V8 conversion kits. For those with the cash that prefer to avoid the hassle, Flyin' Miata will sell you a complete, turn-key car. The price hasn't been finalized, but customers should expect to pay about $50,000 plus the cost of the MX-5. The new car has a worked-over LS3 that sends 525 horsepower to the rear wheels through a Tremec T56 transmission. Flyin' Miata says the rear differential comes from a V8 Camaro. Other new bits include exhaust, suspension, brakes, and a roll cage. Flyin' Miata tells us that the V8-swapped ND will weigh 2,592 lbs, a little more than 200 lbs more than the porkiest stock Miata. Despite twice as many cylinders and more than three times the displacement of the stock four banger, the LS3 V8 is a relatively small and lightweight engine. The finished car has a 53:47 front to rear weight distribution. Final touches are being finished, but cars and kits should be available soon. This article has been updated with some info straight from Flyin' Miata. Thanks, Keith! Related Video: News Source: Road & Track, Flyin' Miata Mazda Convertible Performance flyin miata

2016 April Fools' Day: Morgan digs at Tesla, Mini's scissor doors, more

Fri, Apr 1 2016

Every year automakers go out of their way to come up with gags for April Fools' Day. Sometimes the jokes fall flat, but occasionally a company really nails it with an idea that we'd actually love to see. Rather than scouring the Web for all of these stunts, you can find some of our favorites right here. Morgan MOGrod The Morgan Motor Company's MOGrod is one of our favorite April Fools' jokes so far this year because it's a car we wish could be real. The company says on Twitter that the retro hot rod uses a 3.7-liter Ford V6, and there are already 250,000 preorders, which is a play on the huge number of reservations for the Tesla Model 3. Morgan took the joke even further by sketching a landspeed record version for the Bonneville Salt Flats. Mini Scissor Doors The people at Mini apparently have a lot of free time because the company has two gags this year. The first is the scissor door option. The idea cleverly plays on the myriad ways customers can customize their Mini, but this solution doesn't look like anyone could easily enter the car due to the way these doors open. Mini Hipster Hatch There's also the Hipster Mini, which is a much funnier idea. This fictional hatchback would be perfect for fashionable Millennials thanks to features like Instagram-filter windows and a fixed-gear drivetrain, which limits the top speed to 25 miles per hour. The interior uses stonewash denim upholstery and packs a twin-deck cassette player. Skoda Dog Umbrella People love dogs, and owners know that a wet canine can be a mess. Skoda is ready to tackle this problem with an umbrella for your mutt. Made from unobtainium, the gadget hides in the door when not in use, but when raindrops start falling, people can keep their pup dry. Skoda Snowman Skoda's Facebook page also teases us with a very cool vehicle. The Snowman is a 396-horsepower plug-in hybrid snow machine. With its tracks, the company's newest model would never have to worry about getting stuck in the winter. Opel Adam C Sure, electricity and hydrogen are cleaner forms of fuel than gasoline or diesel, but Opel has a way to make your car even more environmentally friendly – muscle power. Wind up the crank at the rear for 15 minutes, and the Opel Adam C is good for 125 miles. GM's European division also claims that owners get a great workout because a full winding session burns 400 calories. You wouldn't feel guilty about picking up that pizza after cranking up this hatchback.

Mazdaspeed2 supermini hot hatch under consideration

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Though the Ford Fiesta ST and Fiat 500 Abarth (and arguably the Mini Cooper S) may stand pretty much alone in the North American market, in overseas markets, supermini hot hatches are a big deal. Unfortunately, challengers like the Volkswagen Polo GTI, Seat Ibiza Cupra and Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo never make it to our showrooms, but word has it that there's soon to be a new entry on the market.
That would be the Mazdaspeed2, which would be badged in certain markets as the Mazda2 MPS. Speaking with Australian site CarAdvice.com.au at the launch of the Mazda2 on which it would be based, the Japanese automaker's global sales chief and the hatchback's deputy product manager hinted that such a product is definitely being discussed, even if it hasn't yet been approved.
This wouldn't be the first time such a notion were entertained, as Mazda has shown numerous performance concepts based on the previous Mazda2/Demio over the years, but none have come to fruition.
