Nate Please use the photobucket link below to see more pictures and video since I couldn't put them all on eBay. Pictures and videos taken October 2013 (its been in storage since): http://s1333.photobucket.com/user/mtnrolfes/library/1993%20RX-7%20R1%20For%20Sale Older video: http://www.spike.com/video-clips/4k4uza/southeast-route-of-tail-of-the-dragon History: I purchased it in the fall of 2000 from a seller in Tennessee. Within a year, the engine blew (tip seal) at the track, around 92k miles. Over the following winter the engine was rebuilt… The intake was ported, lightweight flywheel installed, new stock turbos, racing beat exhaust, custom air intake, Power FC fuel computer and commander installed. The Power FC was tuned by Steve Kan (www.kantuning.com). My goal for the rebuild was to make it rock solid, reliable, and fast. From 2001-2005 I put approximately 25k miles on the vehicle and the new engine taking it to few different tracks and on road trips. There is also a bullet cam installed on the front lip and wired up through the glove box with RCA inputs. Its been in storage since 2005 basically because I had kids and don’t really have time for it. I start it 2x a year and drive it for couple hours, and it always cranks right up and does not smoke. I have always changed the oil every 2000 miles and the engine and turbos are both very strong. I am including a lot of extras which I collected over the years….extra set of stock turbos and other miscellaneous parts and useful tools and other goodies. Exterior: The exterior
is in good shape. No dents, dings,
etc. Paint is chipped in a couple places and has been touched up with touch up paint. I have a custom cut headlight cover
intake to feed cold air into the engine intake, but I still have the original
headlight cover in case you want to switch back. The taillights have been modified for ’99
spec (http://www.rotaryaddicts.com/?page_id=446). Interior: The interior is in fair shape. The seats are actually leather seats from a touring series (not the original Cloth R1 seats). The power window switch on the passenger side doesn’t work, but it can be rolled down from the driver side switch which has both. Under the
Hood: I’ve focused all my energy, time, and resources on the under-hood aspect of the car so it would be as fast and reliable as possible. It is extremely reliable and engine is rebuilt very strong (when Steve Kan was tuning it he remarked at how well it pulled at high speeds). I can’t possibly sell the car at a price to get back the investment I’ve put into these performance parts, so my loss is your gain. The parts listed below are all installed on the car. In total over $5000 worth of upgrades. Please note, the air conditioning and power steering has been removed. It can be reinstalled, but I preferred the steering feel (more responsive, and the car is already so light you don't even notice the missing p/s except for slightly heavier efforts at parking lot speeds) and the stock A/C system was terrible anyway. Removing both of these lightened the car and gave the engine more power and made it more reliable.

Fiat 124 spied with top down
Sun, Sep 27 2015With fall officially here, the days are rapidly running out for much of the country to put the top down and enjoy a convertible. Fiat apparently wants to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts, given these fresh spy shots of the 124 Spider testing with the roof down. In terms of styling, these photos show the droptop with an extremely similar look to the ones from July. The roadster still appears to have rounded headlights and a wide grille up front, which the kidney-shaped cladding does nothing to hide. The hood bulge continues to be there, too, and so is the spiderweb-pattern camouflage. However, these new shots let us check out the roll hoops that are visible with the top out of the way, and we even get to see the manual roof in operation. Also, note there are now dual exhausts at the rear, rather than the quad tips from before. Underneath all this camo and cladding, we know that the 124 Spider shares underpinnings with the new Mazda MX-5 Miata. The engine remains a mystery, but competing rumors suggest the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the current 500 Abarth or the 1.7-liter turbo four from the Alfa Romeo 4C. Thankfully, an answer might not be too far away because the roadster is mooted to debut this year, possibly at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. With the latest Miata receiving high praise from critics, the motoring world soon gets to find out whether Fiat can find any room for improvement. Related Video:
World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
Weekly Recap: Diesel scandal continues to fuel VW's woes
Sat, Oct 3 2015Volkswagen's woes continued this week when it was delisted from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and stripped of awards. Senators are also lining up to advocate for criminal and civil action against the automaker, and its consumer reputation is in tatters. Put simply, it's been another rough period for VW. Despite this, the company eked out a sales gain of less than one percent in September, though that was well behind the overall market's performance. Sister brand Audi, which sells a diesel A3, was less affected, posting a 16-percent gain in September. Revelations that Volkswagen rigged millions of diesel-powered cars around the world didn't surface until September 18, so the full sales impact of the ongoing scandal won't likely be felt until October. Meanwhile, VW's image continues to take a beating, and an AutoPacific survey found only one in 14 vehicle owners have a positive opinion of the company. Before the scandal broke, three-quarters of respondents had a positive view of VW. The survey also found 64 percent don't trust Volkswagen, though the same number believe other companies are or may also be using cheating devices to pass emissions tests. "The reputation of diesels has been severely damaged, at least for the short term," Ed Kim, AutoPacific's vice president of industry analysis, said in a statement. Despite the lingering malaise, experts believe VW will recover, just as Toyota and General Motors eventually emerged from their own high-profile controversies. "Consumers have proven through numerous recalls that they are resilient and quickly return to their buying habits," Kim said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Mazda to reveal sports car concept in Tokyo Mazda will bring a curvy sports car concept to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The automaker is being especially coy with the details, only releasing the dark teaser shot that you see to the right and a cryptic statement that suggests the concept "condense[s] Mazda's entire history of sports-car development into a single model." Immediately, speculation abounded this is an RX-7 and RX-8 successor, though Mazda didn't specify what engine the concept will have. Reportedly, the company is still working on rotary engines. Mazda will have a Cosmo Sport 110S on its stand in Tokyo, which pioneered rotary technology in 1967. Read into that what you will.
