Hey!  Up for sale is what most consider to be one of the few real sports cars.  This 1995 Mazda Rx7 is a true example, with only minor improvements made. 66,4xx miles.  As a silver 95 base, it is one of six imported in 1995 with those options (see photos for import numbers) and 1 of a mere 500 total imported 95 Rx7’s.  Pair that with a VIN ending in 529, and you may very well be looking at the last FD brought to the US.  Extremely rare, and in incredible condition. 

The interior shows little to no wear. A couple minor blemishes, such as the power mirror control having a loose mounting tab, and the stock shift knob showing wear for an almost 20 year old car.  The previous owner also installed keyless entry, which was a custom job due to there not being a motor in the door to do so.  One was added, and is nice to have! The driver’s floor mat had seen better days, I just haven’t sourced a new one yet.  Currently there is a SakeBomb Garage footrest in the passenger side.  This is a design piece that came from the newer Rx7’s in Japan.  It is easily removable, and may be removed and sold separately depending on final price.  Controlling this car currently is an Apexi Power FC with controller.  There’s not too many great options for mounting the controller, so as you can see in pictures, it props up nicely in the coin holder. This gives you the ability to monitor and tune on the fly, and lets you keep an eye on up to 8 aspects of the motor.  This is also an easy removal, and again, depending on price may be switched back to the stock computer. The original owner’s manual, and all paperwork are intact and accounted for. 

The stock amp died in the head unit, so I did a thorough Kenwood upgrade.  Head unit, followed by speakers front and rear.  Total for the system was over 1k.  Come to find out, the speakers had already been replaced by a previous owner, but with the head unit bad, I had no idea, and continued with my install. Could use a subwoofer at some point, but really, this is a sports car, not a concert hall.  Sound deadener would be a huge improvement, but I drive more with the radio off, and the incredible symphony of the motor more than music playing.    

The exterior has brand new paint, literally completed on 9/19/13.  The paint was neglected, and in need of a refresh.  It is glass smooth, and has an intense mirror finish.  As you can see from the pictures, the fit and finish of every single panel is second to none.  The gaps, and alignment are absolutely spot on.  When the car was in the body shop, I opted for tail lights from a 2001 rx7 straight from Japan, giving it a much more modern appearance, as well as APR carbon fiber mirrors.  All bulbs on the exterior have been upgraded to high end LED bulbs, as well as the interior dome and rear hatch light.  I modified the stock turn signal relay to accept LED lighting to remove the hyper flash that is common with lower wattage led lighting. Headlights have also been upgraded. All the corner lights as well as the front turn signals are tinted.  I did not, however, tint the stock reflectors, I still have them.  I just bought an aftermarket set to tint.    

The wheels are stock, but have essentially brand new bridgstone potenzas.  The previous owner had about 800 miles on them, and I have about a 1000 miles total since I bought the car.

The engine is relatively stock.  No crazy porting, no running issues whatsoever.  It also has a fresh tune up, including spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, and an oil change.  Essential parts of owning a rotary.  Also, a carbon fiber cooling panel was just added yesterday actually (9/20) to aid in air flow, and improve under hood appearance.  The panel is a very simple piece that essentially just sets in place.  The stock part is available.  The exhaust was upgraded by a previous owner to a Blitz Nur Spec system.  In my opinion, it sounds amazing.  Not whiny or irritating, but deep and aggressive for a rotary.  This is a car you literally can walk out to anytime, and it starts right up, no smoke, no hesitation.

The suspension has been upgraded by Stance brand coil-overs, custom valved by Rishie at AutoRnD.com.  With a many features to give an extremely smooth ride, yet aggressive cornering, this is the best suspension I’ve ever ridden with.  The car underwent a full alignment after install, and there is at the most 700 miles on the system.  I also added Greddy front and rear strut tower bars, giving increased stability and chassis rigidity. They are sharp, but could use a good polishing/powdercoating.

Extras included in the car if the price is right:  a full size binder style factory service manual specific to the 95.  Also have a small “travel” size service manual.  I have the stock radiator cover, as well as the corner lights.  The service manuals may or may not be sold separately, if interested parties step forward, but the car parts will remain with the car.

Payment is due within 7 days.  A $1000.00 dollar deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction, unless other arrangements are made.  I am minutes from the local airport, Billings Logan International (BIL), and can pick you up if you decide to fly in and road trip home.  Can also help in coordinating shipping, just let me know where to get the car and cover gas to the shipping dock. I do have the title in hand, just have to get a sign off from the local credit union when the note is paid.  A few minute deal.

Next Mazdaspeed3 could look this good

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Mazda showed off its brand-new 2014 Mazda3 at an event in New York City earlier this week, and we have to say, at first blush, we're pretty impressed. It looks fantastic - like a smaller, hatch'd version of the already sleek Mazda6 sedan that went on sale earlier this year. And with a 200-pound weight reduction, efficient Skyactiv gasoline engines underhood and Mazda's usual focus on driving dynamics above all, we're willing to bet that the new Three will be a pretty decent steer.
Of course, being enthusiasts, we're already setting our sights on the next-generation Mazdaspeed3, rendered here by artist Theo Chin. To our eyes, it's not a very imaginative transformation, but is likely a spot-on rendering for what the next car will look like. And it's really, really hot.
While Mazda hasn't exactly confirmed that the new Speed3 will be coming, sources within the automaker have indicated that a third-generation version of the MS3 is under development. Thing is, the Japanese automaker wants to give the standard Mazda3 some time to grow in the market, so we might not see the new Speed3 until something like 2016, with a possible diesel version to arrive before then.

2014 Mazda Skyactiv Prototype looks ready for Daytona

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

With less than two weeks before the Mazda Skyactiv Prototype makes its race debut at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Japanese Zoom-Zoom brand brought its diesel-powered racer to the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
The red prototype marks Mazda's return to prototype racing, and will campaign the inaugural Tudor United SportsCar Championship using a 2.2-liter, SkyActiv-D diesel engine. With 451 horsepower on tap and 580 pound-feet of torque, the racer should stand up well against a field of gas-powered competitors.
Should the Skyactiv win Daytona, it'll be a coup for Mazda. The racer is running an engine with over 50 percent of its parts drawn from the oft-delayed production Skyactiv-D. Head up top for our full gallery of images of the new Skyactiv Prototype. The 2014 Rolex 24 will be run from January 25 to 26.

44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.
