CONS

  • Windshield Crack
  • A/C Blows, but not Cold.  Likely needs recharging as it has never been done in 20 years.
  • Original paint.  Looks great but as the standard rock chips, 2-3 small door dings (its an aluminum car) and the mirrors/spoilers fade if not polished regularly (a common problem for the red RX7s)

This car is awesome!  Always garage kept, 1 family owership, NEVER raced, and NEVER wrecked!  It is super fast and turns heads everywhere it goes.  "What kind of car is that?" & "Is that a Ferrari?" are a few of the comments I get.  Nobody who knows what this car is capable of won't even look at you at a red light!  If you know anything about Japanese sports cars, this is THE car to own.  Not even Supras, Sklyines, and NSXs can compare to this car.

So what makes the R1 a better buy than any other RX7?

  1. It is the stripped down race version of the RX7.  No fancy stereo system or sunroof to add weight.  Who needs that crap in a race car???
  2. It came from the factory with a functional front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, and aluminum hood.  Again, strip the weight and get some downforce for high speeds.  Ask anyone who has taken a Touring Edition to 120+ MPH, it gets really squirrelly!  The R1 sticks to the ground like rubber shoe soles on ahot Texas summ day!
  3. Rarity, rarity, rarity!  Only 1177 Red R1's built, 1665 total.  Less than half are on the road today.  And maybe 25% of those are not ragged out, torn up, or non-functionally modded out (riced out).  This is one of them!
  4. It is the fastest production car built in 1993.  Truest 50/50 weight ratio around, suspension to handle the harshest road race courses, and so much power that it could melt you into the seat when you mash the pedal.

This car is a MUST-HAVE for any serious collector!

**There is an interesting story attached to this car. My father bought it brand new in 1994.  The story is that THIS car was used by magazines to test drive. Now, I was never able to find any supporting documents, but if you look at the history of the car, it has an odd anamoly. The date of manufacture is 10/11/1993, which make this one of the last (if not THE last) R1's to roll off the assembly line. The next entry after production shows this car at auction somewhere in the Pacific Southwest. My father purchased the car from Fred Haas Mazda in Houston, TX in mid-1994.    Now, I cannot confirm nor deny any of what I have just disclosed other than what the report says.  My father passed away 10 years ago so the facts of what the story is went with him.**

Xcar tries to figure out what makes the Miata so great

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Over the past 25 years and 3 model generations, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has shown that you don't have to be the best to be a massive success. The little, Japanese roadster has never been the absolute peak of automotive performance, but it's precise handling, good reliability and frugal running costs have helped make it a star. Autoblog recently tried to give you the experience of driving one on video, and now Xcar Films has made its own in an attempt to show what makes this droptop an icon.
As Xcar puts it, the Miata isn't the world's best sports car, but it is the world's favorite. When they were originally designing the roadster, Mazda's engineers took everything that made British droptops from the '60s great, and junked all of the stuff that made them a terror to own. The result was a car that would start up everyday with no fuss and get drivers wherever they needed to go with a huge grin on their face.
The fourth-generation Miata is imminently on the way for its September 3 unveiling, and the very early rumors indicate that Mazda doesn't plan to rock the boat too much with the latest one. It supposedly rides on a longer wheelbase and wider track but with the weight trimmed by over 200 pounds. Check out Xcar's video for a primer on MX-5 history and why the automotive world loves this little roadster.

Mazda pits 2016 MX-5 Miata against the original

Fri, Jun 19 2015

Mazda has toiled admirably to keep the latest MX-5 Miata true to the spirit of the original. But just how close did the team come? To find out, the Japanese automaker brought two bookending examples of its iconic roadster down to a racetrack in Spain and put them in the hands of a couple of endurance racing drivers – Jade Paveley in the original, Owen Mildenhall in the new model. Whichever crossed the finish line first at the end of one lap would win. And because 25 years of progress wouldn't exactly make it a fair match, they gave the original a four-second head start. Watch the video above to see how it went down. Related Video:

Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?

Tue, Jun 30 2015

After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.
