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.

Mazda6 GX Grand-Am racer goes where no diesel sedan has gone before
Sat, 26 Jan 2013There has never been a four-door diesel sedan in the Grand-Am series, until now: The blunt, bewinged grille of the Mazda6 GX has blown right through that wall. It's said that racing improves the breed, but usually the breed has gone on sale when the racing begins. One of the unusual aspects of the Mazda6 GX, on the other hand, is that while the diesel won't go on sale to the public until later this year, it will already have tasted racing blood by the end of the day. That kind of reversal is more likely found with super coupes like the Lexus LFA and Honda NSX.
Mazda has taken class wins at Daytona's 24-hour race a whopping 23 times since 1975, most recently in 2010 with the RX-8 in the GT class. This year the Hiroshima company decided to show off its SkyActiv technology, then turned things up to eleven by opting for its SkyActiv-D instead of the more conventional SkyActiv-G gas engine to run in the new GX class. It will be joined by competitors like the Lotus Evora and Porsche Cayman in the class, nevertheless, at 2.4 liters, it's the smallest engine on the grid.
Time has not been a friend, either - Mazda said that the first five SkyActiv-D engines off the production line went to Speed Source in Coral Springs, Florida, the company that preps Mazda's race vehicles. Still, race driver Jonathan Baumarito on the #70 car said that although the engine's been on the dyno since February of last year, it's only been in the car for about a month and there have been only a couple of test days.
2016 Mazda2 gets EPA-rated 43 mpg highway
Fri, Apr 10 2015To paraphrase the famous quote from astronaut Neil Armstrong, that's one small step for man and one giant leap for the Mazda2. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has weighed in on the new Mazda2 version, and says it gets a fuel-economy rating of 33 miles per gallon city and 43 mpg highway with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stick-shift gas-mileage figures are 31 city and 42 highway, which are still substantially better than the 29/35 rating from the most recent iteration of the model. That's about a 15-percent jump in fuel economy, people. More importantly, the Mazda2 beats out competitors such as the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio Eco and even the Honda Fit in terms of fuel efficiency, which is pretty good company. The Mazda2 boasts a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. But it is the upgrade to six-speed transmissions in both manual and automatic versions that seem to be making the biggest difference in the ratings. Mazda started unveiling details about the next-generation Mazda2 last year, and last fall began production of the model at Mazda's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. At that time, the Japanese automaker had already sold more than 2.4 million Mazda2 vehicles since the model's introduction in 1996. Related Video:
This is what a 1,200-hp twin-turbo 4-rotor looks like in a Miata
Fri, Dec 12 2014We've seen the diminutive Mazda MX-5 Miata swallow plenty of big engines, but New Zealand drifting ace "Mad Mike" Whiddett is roaring into where-no-man-has-gone-before territory. Wanting to replace his 515-horsepower "MADBUL" RX-7 and its twin-turbocharged, three-rotor 20B engine, his new ride is an NC-series Miata with four rotors and twin Garrett turbochargers courtesy of Pulse Performance Race Engineering. It is called "RADBUL," and expected power at standard boost is 1,200 hp, but the builders at Pulse Performance think it will get up to 1,500 hp at full boost. And yes, that exhaust exits through the hood. Four-rotor engines are actually popular - builds are detailed on forums like this one from 2007 and this one from 2008, this UK company or this Canadian company will sell you one complete - but they're usually being prepped for an RX-7. Mad Mike's choice of a Miata for this enterprise makes this about as extreme as you can get, short of throwing it into a Mazda R360. You can watch Mad Mike tell the story of the build in the video, and check out the first and second installments about the build on the Red Bull site.
