Up for sale is my Wifes 91 RX-7.

Mileage is around 98k. 

Bought this one last year for my wife, fixed it up a little but she's moving on to a different car this year and I have too many other toys, so time to make room in the garage.

Here's the story with the car. Bought this from a old lady in NJ last year who owned the car for about 12 years and put on about 9k in mileage for the 12 years she owned it. She basically used it for a summer car as she is a realtor and took it out when she went to property showings in the summer time.

Reason she sold it was that her husband bought her a white one with lower mileage. This car was neglected for about 2-3 years due to the fact that she now had the newer white one in her garage and this one was parked outside to be exposed to the elements.

I have added pictures of when I bought the car from her. It's pretty much in the same shape with a ton of cleaning done and a few upgraded listed below.

Top is ripped on both sides, not severely, but it will need a new top at some point. The pictures of how the top is ripped is about the same on both sides.

Paint on exterior is faded and peeling on both doors. This is due to the car being outside in the summer time from the previous owner.

Little fender bender and home fix on the drivers side rear where the bumper is mounted to the rear quarter. It can be fixed at the body shop and does not require any welding. (bought it this way)

I've done two oil changed since I bought it. One when I got the car home and another when the car was about 1,000 mile into the oil change.

Spark plugs and wires (NGK) were replaced last year spring when I gave the car a small tune up.

TII Hood was painted with rattle can paint, and it needs some body work to get in line, so this is not a perfect hood, the scoop fin is in great condition with no stress cracks on the fiberglass.

Suspension has been upgraded to Tokico blues on Racing Beat Dropping Springs all the way around. This is brand new from last year spring and has less than 3k miles on the suspension.

Tires in the rear are brand new and basically been driven on for about 2000 miles as that is all we drove it last year summer...Front tires have about 85% tread left on it. so they are semi brand new also..

Stock mufflers and Y pipe have been scrapped. I have upgraded to a Racing Beat Cat back. The 5th and 6 port actuators are still working and all the OEM catalytic converters are still on the car and in good condition.

Interior is in decent shape, no big damages, The leather seats have some cracks and there is a split separation on the driver side seat. Overall I'd give the seats a 7 out of 10. I have seen worse as this is not my first convertible.

I do have the original radio with OEM CD player for the car and it will come with it. I upgraded to something that has Aux in and USB for comfort...

Power antenna will need to be replaced. I have the replacement OEM used antenna to come with the car.

The TII hood will come with the car and the original aluminum hood also. Buyer's responsibility to transport the spare hood.

Air filter was replaced last year spring also.

BBS wheels come with the OEM Key for the center caps.

No idiot lights on the car, everything works and runs as it should. Heat, Defrosters, AC even works. Car passed NYS safety inspection without any issues.

Engine bay is bone stock with NO modifications whatsoever which is the way I wanted to keep it for my wife.

Clutch will need to be bled. It's not mandatory... but It needs to be done, feels a little too squishy for my taste and I've driven too many rx-7's already to know what they should feel like.

 There is a clear NY title under my name with NO liens.

Feds investigating Mazda CX-9 over suspension problems

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2007-2008 Mazda CX-9 because the lower ball joint in the front suspension can potentially separate while driving. An estimated 54,000 examples of the crossover might be affected. The investigation was prompted by six complaints of this happening on the road. Because the complaints are coming more rapidly as of late, NHTSA thinks the issue could be getting worse. The problem also appears to be more prevalent in states that use salt on their roads in the winter. None of the failures caused any injuries, and all but one happened at 20 miles per hour or slower. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "assess the scope, frequency, and safety consequence" of a potential problem and can sometimes lead to recalls.

SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received six (6) complaints (VOQs) alleging incidents of front suspension LBJ separation in MY 2007 through 2008 Mazda CX-9 vehicles. The reports appear to show an increasing trend. One of the separations allegedly occurred at 40 mph and the other 5 incidents occurred at speeds between 0 and 20 mph. The first VOQ was received in October 2013, followed by 2 reports in late 2014 and 3 reports in the first 5 months of 2015. Four of the VOQs are from states using high volumes of road salts (?salt states?) which, for purposes of this investigation, include: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The other VOQs were from northern Virginia, which borders the ?salt state? region, and South Carolina. ODI also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles. A preliminary investigation is being opened to assess the scope, frequency, and safety consequence of the alleged defect. The six VOQs associated with this investigation are: 10717510, 10714469, 10695142, 10668978, 10640541, and 10546535.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
