1991 Mazda Rx-7 Base Coupe 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1991 RX-7 Coupe. I am the third owner and have owned the car since 2003.
The good: The car is from Florida so the body has only a few small (dime size) spots of rust, except the lower window trim. Has never been in an accident. Suspension still tight, motor pulls strong, brakes are great, interior is in decent shape. Car is stock except for factory replacement 4 piston brakes on the front and a Miata shift knob (still have original). Power windows, wipers, and seat belts work. Seat belts are only 2 years old. Comes with two sets of tires, currently wearing the winter set. It has always been run on 2 cycle premix. All gauges work, but digital clock has the cold solder issue (common). The bad: The front rotor has an o-ring leak on the exhaust side. Although the car runs normally, it leaks exhaust into the cooling system. After about 20-30 minutes of driving without a stop, the low water buzzer can go off because the exhaust has forced the coolant out. You can stop, dump the coolant into the radiator and keep going, though. If you're not driving it long distances, you wouldn't notice a problem at all. CD/radio has mostly stopped working. Power antenna is broken and is in the up position. The mufflers are rusted through. Fuel injectors leak when it's cold so sometimes it smokes on start up. Transmission is notchy before it is warmed up and shifter feels a little loose. Has A/C hardware, but it hasn't had freon in years. Body has some small dents. The ugly: The paint is mostly faded away. The passenger door was repainted after a broken window and it has cracked (see picture). The hood has been resprayed with primer, but there is rust creeping back under it. The driver's seat has two tears in it. The speedo/tach console surround has broken from its mount. Above the speedo console the vinyl dash is cratered. The rubber trim on the hatch is pulling up on the driver's side (see picture). Summary: The car could use new paint and the engine will likely need to be overhauled/replaced eventually. Buyer to arrange for pickup/delivery. Deposit due within 48 hours, full payment with cash or cashier's check on pickup. |

50 engineers kept the rotary alive at Mazda for 8 years
Fri, Oct 30 2015The Mazda RX-Vision concept is one of the standouts at this year's Tokyo Motor Show thanks to a drop-dead gorgeous design and a revival of the Wankel engine. The fact that the rotary is still in development at Mazda is thanks to a dedicated group of 50 engineers. According to Automotive News, their dream for the last eight years has been to bring this storied engine design back to the street. It won't be easy. Because of its design, the rotary suffers from poor fuel economy and high emissions. Making the challenge even harder, Mazda reportedly only gives them a small budget, but they continue to chip away at the problem. "These 50 engineers want to develop the rotary engine, therefore they joined Mazda," company research and development boss Kiyoshi Fujiwara told AN. "If I stop the rotary engine, probably they want to leave." For the Skyactiv-R under the RX-Vision's svelte hood, the team reportedly started from the 16X rotary project. Dating back to 2007, that 1.6-liter engine was supposed to improve torque and fuel economy thanks in part to direct injection. After additional development, insiders even suggested that the engineers might have finally solved the powerplant's issues. However, Mazda never put the mill into production, and the RX-8 remains the company's last Wankel-powered model to be offered in showrooms. "We have a dream that one day, this design with a rotary engine will achieve a level that customers will accept," CEO Masamichi Kogai said to AN. Mazda is quite clear that the RX-Vision might never go on sale without a suitable rotary. Although if it does see production, the coupe would likely use a stiffened version of the Miata's chassis, AN reports. Before anyone can place an order, these 50 determined engineers still have a lot of work ahead of them. Related Video:
Electric Miata smokes Tesla Model S at the track
Wed, Jul 9 2014Yes, folks, you read that headline right. A souped up battery-electric version of a Mazda Miata took down a Tesla Model S on a quarter-mile drag strip. And it wasn't even close. Road Test TV was kind enough to post a video of a forest-green Miata (and its very stoked driver) doing a quarter-mile run in a rather brisk 9.27 seconds, beating the Model S sedan by a whopping 3.5 seconds in the process. And the Mazda crossed the finish line moving at 142 miles per hour, or 40 miles per hour faster than the Tesla was going when it finished the race. It's a good thing for the Tesla owner that they weren't racing for pink slips. Granted, the comparison is probably an unfair one because the Tesla was a stock, production vehicle (the P85 Performance model, but still), whereas who knows how the Miata was juiced up and how much cash it took to do the job. It's sort of like putting, say, an automotive writer against Usain Bolt because we ate the same breakfast and share 99 percent of our DNA. Still, the video does lend a certain credence to the idea that a battery-electric, super-light, rear-wheel-drive Miata would be a lot of fun, or at least a heck of lot more fun than any other Mazda out there. We're just sayin'. Check out the 100-second video below, and remember not to blink. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
