1993 Mazda Rx-7 Touring Coupe 2-door 1.3l Twin Turbo Rotary on 2040-cars
Forsyth, Georgia, United States

This vehicle would make a great starting platform for someone looking to convert it for racing!
The car was purchased in 1994 by my brother (second owner) and has been in the family ever since. It is mostly stock (see below for exceptions) and has been kept in a garage or carport for most of the last 20 years. It is in very good physical condition for its age and mileage. The car has 120,654 miles on the frame. The engine has somewhere between 50K and 60K. The clutch has about 10,000 miles on it. As far as I know, the car has been in one accident in 2003; it was hit in the right front quarter. There are some minor body alignment issues on the right front corner with the bumper, hood, and headlight, but nothing excessive. There is also a small dent over the passenger door where it was hit by a falling tree branch. There is some paint oxidation on the roof and rear bumper that can probably be polished out. The hood and front bumper are in better shape because they were repainted after the accident. There are minor paint dings in a few places, the largest of which is on the driver's door where someone opened a car door into it. All of these issues should be visible from the photos. The interior of the car is in very good shape. There is some normal wear in the leather of the driver's seat as would be expected from the car's age. The carpet is clean and has been protected by floor mats for the life of the car. The car is equipped with the Bose Acoustic Wave sound system that was created especially for this model car. The subwoofer system in the rear needs an amplifier rebuild. See the photos for details on interior condition. About a year ago, the car was taken to our local Mazda dealer because it would not accelerate. By the time it had been moved a couple of times in the parking lot where it broke down and then put on a tow truck, it had flooded out. The dealer replaced the plugs, wires, and coils to get it started again. At that point, they started trying to troubleshoot the acceleration problem. They replaced the fuel pump with an aftermarket unit and apparently broke the fuel quantity sending unit in the process. The fuel gauge does not currently work, although the low fuel light still comes on at the proper time. The next thing the dealer tried was replacing the catalytic converters, which were supposedly clogged. They couldn't find suitable replacements, so they installed a performance steel downpipe. So the car is now straight-piped from the turbo outlet to the muffler. They spent a couple of months messing with it and could never get it to work. We sent it to a Mazda specialist in Atlanta who replaced the throttle position sensor and then the secondary fuel injectors and finally got the car running again. Less than two thousand miles later, the plastic coolant air separator tank split, causing the car to overheat and shut down just down the street from our driveway. We were able to restart the car after it cooled and move it into the driveway, where we replaced the air separator tank with an aluminum one and replaced the coolant. However, we have not been able to start the car since. It is badly flooded again and will drip oily fuel out the exhaust. We tried removing the plugs and cleaning them, draining the combustion chambers, and reassembling it, but no luck. The car will fire and sputter a little bit, but won't catch and start. Fixing it may be as simple as new plugs, or it may take some more drastic measures. I honestly don't know. We had to replace the car with something more reliable for my son to drive to school, so we are selling the car as-is. This car would be a great project purchase for someone more mechanically inclined than I am who can get it started, tuned up, and maybe converted for racing. It is lightning fast and a lot of fun to drive. In addition to the repairs and modifications above, most of the vacuum lines and check valves have been recently replaced and it has a new alternator and serpentine belt. Buyer will be responsible for taking delivery of the car or having it shipped to your location. It will require transport that can account for the fact that it cannot be started. Thanks for looking! I would love to see this car go to someone who will fix it up and really enjoy it to its full potential. My brother loved driving it, my son loved driving it, and I'm sure you will too! |

Mazda books first yearly profit in half-decade, NA still a drag
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda has posted its first annual profit in five years. The company made $364.3 million in the last fiscal year, following a $1.14 billion loss the year prior. Operating profit also jumped up by $91.3 million to $572.8 million, thanks in part to a revenue increase of 8 percent to $23.42 billion.
But the news isn't all rays of sunshine. North America continues to be a problem for Mazda where the automaker posted yet another loss. The manufacturer lost $519.1 million last year, up from $427.8 million the year prior. While the launch of the CX-5 helped see US sales increase by 2 percent to 273,000 vehicles, the region as a whole bought up 372,000 units. Mazda had predicted closer to 380,000 units.
Even so, Mazda says it should have North America back in the black by next year, with the company forecasting a sales increase of 11 percent to 415,000 units in the region. That's thanks in part to a boost from the redesigned Mazda6 sedan.
Mazda pits 2016 MX-5 Miata against the original
Fri, Jun 19 2015Mazda 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:
Will the Mazda2 be offered as a PHEV with a rotary engine range extender?
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.
Martin Benders, managing director of Mazda in Australia, spoke to Motoring about the company's future with hybrids and basically reiterated what the CEO said last year. The Japanese automaker only plans to offer electrified powertrains in places where they can sell in sufficient numbers to be profitable, like Japan.
Mazda has been playing with the rotary range-extender idea for years. In the RE prototype, the engine was exclusively used to charge the lithium-ion batteries when they were running low, and a 100-horsepower electric motor provided all of the propulsion. It gave the little hatch an estimated range of about 250 miles. The company reportedly took inspiration from its Skyactiv engines to make the Wankel have lower friction and a lighter weight.
