Two very minor dents, neither of which have chipped the original paint."

 I am selling my 1993 Mazda RX7 that is in incredible shape.  Pictures nor words will do this car justice.  The chassis has ~100K miles and the body is 100% original with incredible original paint.  The body has two very minor dings from a door or similar over the years but neither has chipped the paint.  There is one spot about the size of golf ball on the rear bumper cover where the clear coat has faded (and only in this one spot).   Interior is in perfect shape and everything works.  Sound system is a Kenwood head unit with sub and amp.  Very nice quality sound throughout the car.  Absolutely nothing is flawed inside the car. All doors, deck and hood open and close easily and solidly.  Not a spec of rust anywhere on the car.  Bilstein shocks and lowering springs (done right) all the way around the car.  Larger cross drilled and vented rotors with Mazda racing calipers at all four corners.  Light weight SSR wheels all the way around with Yokohama rubber.  The rear tires should be replaced as they are worn.  (honestly, this car will spin the tires under moderate acceleration in 2nd gear, no burnouts have ever been done since I have owned the car).

Engine modified and rebuilt 13K miles ago with over $13K of receipts. Some of the modifications are as follows:

  • Apexi ECU and Power Commander Programmer (if you don't know what this is, you really need to check it out)
  • Greddy Profec Spec S electronic boost controller (set to 12 psi and easily capable of 17 psi without an effort) to control peak boost and ramp rate of the boost
  • Stock Twin Turbos upgraded to a single GT35R turbo
  • Greddy BOV
  • Greddy aluminum induction tube
  • Ported and polished throttle body
  • Street ported rotor housings
  • Ported and polished oil passages
  • Large Nippondenso injectors
  • All vacuum lines replaced / minimized
  • Twin oil coolers
  • Huge air to air inter-cooler
  • HKS ignition
  • Racing Beat Exhaust
  • 4.30:1 gears

Enough of the parts info....  Here is what you really want to know:  This thing is ridiculously fast.  This is NOT a car for a kid or even a young adult.  I've drag raced in the NMRA for years and this street car has more rolling power and acceleration than my 10.31 second Mustang.  The kicker is this car handles like a road course car.  It was actually built and owned by the previous local president of the RX7 club who also had his own rotary performance distribution store.  This car was his show car but was built to run and not just shine.  The car pumps 420hp to the tires as it is right now.  Turn up the boost and it is just plain uncontrollable and dangerous.  It is the most fun car I have EVER owned and I don't really want to sell it but I know I will either kill myself in the car or get my license taken away so I am trying to do the responsible thing and sell the car before its too late (one way or another).

The absolute only things wrong with the car is a very tiny chip in the windshield and it has the typical 5th gear grind when engaging 5th gear (however 5th is only used at 70+ and there is no hesitation, just a small grind the second it is going in)

Everywhere I go, this car gets a ton of attention.  Non-stop compliments are a given.  Embarrassing Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros and even motorcycles at will is a given as well.  This car has a slightly better power to weight ratio as a crotch rocket bike.  The ONLY challenge is getting the tires to stay planted.  It was not a cliche' when I said it will light up the tires at the top of 2nd when the boost is at full bore.

Now for the rules:

This car is my pride and joy, I welcome anyone to come look at the car but no one will be allowed to drive the car until cash in hand.

Local pick up only.

The car CAN be driven anywhere, it does not get hot.

I will not ship the car but I will help you get the car picked up if you do the shipping logistics details.

$500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal at the time of auction end, pick up and full payment CASH within 7 days.

Please do not waste my time if you can't afford the car.

Please call me for additional details @ 317.379.1749

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

2014 Mazda CX-5 with 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Back in October, we compared the relative merits of two new and very good small crossovers: the 2013 Ford Escape and 2013 Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 we tested then had Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine under its hood, and it managed to just edge out the EcoBoosted Ford despite being down by some 23 horsepower and 34 pound-feet of torque. Had it been available, the 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine that we recently had the opportunity to try out in the 2014 Mazda CX-5, it may have made that comparison even easier to call in the Japanese CUV's favor.
Clearly, if you're in the market for a reasonably sized crossover, the CX-5 should, at the very least, be on your test-drive list. The new engine offering will let buyers opt for a stronger powerplant, with 184 hp and 185 lb-ft on tap. On our second day in Austin's Hill Country - the first was spent quick-spinning the 2014 Mazda6 i Sport, you'll recall - we covered a couple of hundred miles and put the new CX-5 through its paces; here's what we turned up.

2014 Mazda3

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Almost by definition, affordable compact cars aren't supposed to be fun. Sure, hot hatches get our blood pumping, but not long ago, the terms "compact car" and "economy car" could safely be used interchangeably. A key exception for the last decade has been the Mazda3, a car that has consistently delivered more dynamic thrills and tactile feedback than its contemporaries. Competitors have picked up their game significantly in recent years, however, leaving the Mazda3 wanting in several areas, including overall refinement, in-car technology and cabin appointments, so Mazda went back to the drawing board to create this all-new third-gen model for 2014.
Including this redesigned 2014 model, Mazda's recent crop of new products have targeted North America's hottest non-truck segments - compact car, midsize sedan and compact crossover/SUV. Yet it might be fair to call this launch the most important of them all, as the 3 remains the Japanese marque's best-selling vehicle. While America's pool of compact hatchbacks isn't exactly deep, the 2014 Mazda3 still has a challenging road ahead of it competing against two-box compacts that include the popular Ford Focus and recent additions like the all-new Kia Forte and the still-new Hyundai Elantra GT.

Watch a high-speed chase from a motorcycle-mounted officer's point of view

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

Riding a motorcycle through high traffic can be a stressful experience. And we don't even want to imagine what it's like to have to actually pursue someone on a motorcycle. Fortunately, we don't have to. Officer Troy Gurley of the Florence, Alabama police force recently attempted to stop a vehicle for traffic violations. The driver, 24-year-old Justin Sanders, figured he could use his Mazda3 to outrun the bike cop. Turns out, not so much.
Gurley pursued Sanders for nearly five minutes as the Mazda driver ran stop signs, swerved through traffic and raced through residential neighborhoods, but the perpetrator couldn't shake the tenacious and experienced rider. Other units soon joined the pursuit, and Sanders thought it best to leave the protection of his car to attempt to flee on foot. From there, it didn't take officers long to apprehend him. You can watch the video below for yourself.
