1995 Mazda Rx-7 Base Coupe 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Billings, Montana, United States
|
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 Come to find out, the speakers had already been replaced by a previous owner, but with the head unit bad, I had no idea, and continued with my install.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. |

Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
Fiat 124 caught entirely undisguised
Mon, Sep 28 2015Dear automakers, please continue making these kind of mistakes. Thanks to what we're guessing is some lax security, the all-new, Mazda MX-5 Miata-based Fiat 124 was spotted taking part in a photo shoot near Santa Barbara, CA. The images show what we'd consider a fairly simple rebadging job. The 124 gets new front and rear clips that not only harken back to the original 124 (not to mention other Fiat roadsters, like the Barchetta), but also serves to distance this droptop from the rest of the company's US range. The similarities between the 124 and the car it's based on are even more obvious in the cabin. This is an MX-5 interior with Fiat's big, red badge on the tiller. That means the same quality materials and knob-dial infotainment system that have been so well received in the Miata. It's under the hood, though, where the Fiat really differs from its Japanese cousin. According to our spy, the vehicle shown here features some kind of two-pedal setup – probably the six-speed Euro twin-clutch used in the 500L and Dodge Dart. Don't worry, though, a six-speed stick will also be on offer. Regardless of transmission, we can expect a 180-horsepower version of the 1.4-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder offered in the 500 Abarth. And if that's not enough good news, a dedicated Abarth model will likely arrive after launch, which our spies claim will use the 1.75-liter turbo and DCT from the Alfa Romeo 4C. While this represents a good look at the new 124, we'll probably be waiting until the LA Auto Show in November for the official look. Stay tuned.
Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]
Sat, 08 Feb 2014Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.
