Reason for Selling: I have found that I'm the type of enthusiast that really enjoys building cars and driving them for a short time before getting interested in another project. I have since put a deposit down for an 818 (kit car) from factory five racing.
The swap was performed by PTuning in Manassas, VA using Hinson swap parts (subframe, trans mount, torque arm, cooling system, etc.). The torque arm has since been removed and replaced with Samberg differential mount, which is a much better design. The previous owner owned the car for around 8 years and just used the car as a cruiser.
Engine:
-LS1 engine and T-56 6-speed transmission from 2002 firebird
-LS6 intake manifold
-Hinson longtube headers 1 7/8" collectors

-Apexi shotgun style catback – Any rx7 catback exhaust system will fit with the positioning of the hinson headers.
-Setrab 25 row oil cooler in passenger front ducting
-Oil thermostat set for 185*
-Canton 3 qt Accusump with electronic psi regulator – below 35 psi oil pressure the accusump will send oil to the engine and above 40 psi the accusump will regain and maintain pressurized oil reserves. System has a hard switch to turn it off for street driving.

-Rear 17x9.5 with 265/40/17 Dunlop Star Specs with an equal amount of tread left
-No curb rash on the wheels. They're in mint condition and have been sealed inside/out periodically with Klasse AIO to keep them protected.
-No signs of camber wear on tires. Alignment specs were mild for street driving with only -1* camber, 0 toe for prolonged tire life.
Interior:
-Authentic Bride Gias Sport Seats – Has the correct tags and certificates of authenticity. I ordered these from Ravspec.
-Authentic Bride Rails – sliding and adjustable
-Berber floor mats specific to the car – very high quality
-Prosport oil temp, coolant temp, and oil pressure gauges in triple dash pod from prosport.
-Kenwood Headunit with USB and aux port
-5x7 Speakers – Rockford Phosgate
The car has been to Summit Point Main 2x – once in November of 2012 and once at Hyperfest 2013 in June 2013. Both times the car performed beautifully without any off track incidents, temperature issues, or anything else out of the ordinary. Before the car ever went on track the necessary precautions were taken to make sure the car would remain reliable and happy. I am currently in HPDE2, which means I'm still learning how to drive. At this point I don't have the skills or desire to push the car to its limits. See below for modifications specifically made for track driving.
Track Upgrades:
-All fluids were changed before both track days. The improved racing oil pan baffle, accusump, and oil cooler are all recommended modifications before tracking an LS engine. While tracking the car oil pressures have remained constant and oil temps peaked at 220* on an 80* day while running for 25 minute sessions.
FAQ:
Does everything work as it should on the car?
-The only gauge (stock or aftermarket) that doesn’t work is the OEM oil pressure gauge. It probably could be returned to working status. However, I never hunted down why it wasn’t working since I bought the car.
-Yes, the car does have working a/c. Tends to struggle a bit on really hot and humid days. But anytime it’s below 90* the car stays cool.
-The heat does not work. I never had a problem driving the car during winter without heat. Although I wasn’t driving the car in anything other than sunny.
-Power windows, locks, etc. all work.
-Radio feature does not work due to the shaved antenna. I did purchase an antenna designed to be stashed under the dash. However, I haven’t installed it. The rest of the headunit works flawlessly.
The Bad: There is no such thing as a perfect car
-There is an ~1 inch crack in the bottom of the front bumper – it lines up perfectly so is only seen when there is pressure on the front bumper like when you’re washing it.
-The interior plastics around the cockpit (gauge surround, shifter surround etc.) are starting to show some age. Cheapest solution would be to wrap them with a flat black. Or you could have a body shop skim them with filler and then paint them with something glossy.
-There is a small 1" hole in the leather shift boot. A redlinegoods shift boot would solve that problem.
-I've found that the interior passenger door handle is loose. This is common with these cars. An aftermarket replacement from SakeBomb Garage would fix this 100%.
Overall:
-The car is a pleasure to drive. It performs flawlessly on the track (as seen in my video) and rides as it should. The car gets a lot of attention from all sorts of car enthusiasts. The rx7 is a truly timeless design that has been maintained to the highest degree. The car has been stored in a garage without exception since I’ve owned the car and has not been driven in the rain or snow. This car was just a fun nice day car.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
2016 Mazda CX-3 scores 29/35 mpg EPA ratings
Tue, Jun 9 2015Looking for a subcompact crossover that won't cost you too much at the pumps? Your best bet is now the new Mazda CX-3, according to fuel economy figures released by the EPA. Mazda's new baby crossover has been rated by the US government agency at 29 miles per gallon in the city, 35 on the highway, and 31 on the combined cycle. That's in front-drive spec, giving the CX-3 better fuel economy than anything else in its class (at least, that is, with an automatic transmission.) Option it with all-wheel drive and you'll take a slight penalty at 27 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway, and 29 combined. According to Mazda that still "makes it among the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles available in the US." Whichever drivetrain option you go for, the CX-3 packs a 2.0-liter inline-four with direct injection (Skyactiv-G in Mazda-speak) good for 146 horsepower and just as much torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The first examples will begin reaching American showrooms later this summer. Related Video: 2016 Mazda CX-3 Scores Class-Leading[1] EPA Fuel Economy Ratings - New Subcompact Mazda Crossover Has EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy of Up to 35 MPG Highway - IRVINE, Calif., June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The all-new 2016 Mazda CX-3 subcompact crossover utility vehicle has been rated with an EPA-estimated fuel economy as high as 29 mpg city/35 mpg highway[2], which positions CX-3's fuel economy as class-leading1 among all 2015 and 2016 subcompact crossover utility vehicles. As Mazda's first foray into the quickly burgeoning subcompact crossover class of vehicles, CX-3 provides those seeking a purposeful, stylish and sporty vehicle option that bucks convention. CX-3 offers standard keyless ignition and backup camera, and is available with features that are unrivalled in its class like Mazda Radar Cruise Control, adaptive LED headlights and Mazda's signature driving experience. Front-wheel-drive models have EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 mpg city/35 mpg highway/31 mpg combined, while models equipped with Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV AWD have EPA-estimated fuel economy of 27 mpg city/32 mpg highway/29 mpg combined. That makes it among the most-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles available in the U.S. "SKYACTIV Technology means we don't have to compromise when it comes to performance, efficiency and fun-to-drive dynamics," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations.
Honda, Nissan and Mazda recalling 3 million vehicles for airbag inflators
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Three million more vehicles can be added to the worldwide tally to be repaired for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata. Honda, Nissan, and Mazda have all issued recalls to replace the bad part, including about 1.2 million of them in North America. NHTSA has been investigating all three companies, plus Chrysler and Toyota, for potentially affected vehicles.
Honda is recalling roughly 1.02 million Civic, CR-V, Odyssey and Element models In North America, built between April 2000 and October 2002. Mazda needs to repair 14,794 units of the RX-8 and Mazda6, and Nissan has 228,000 vehicles in North America to be fixed.
Chrysler is also starting what it calls a "regional field action" to replace the inflators in the 2006 Dodge Charger, according to a company spokesperson. The company says that it has not yet found the problem in any of its vehicles, but it's being done "out of an abundance of caution." The final number of Chargers affected will be announced later this week.
