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  Come to find out, the speakers had already been replaced by a previous owner, but with the head unit bad, I had no idea, and continued with my install.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.

Mazda replaces owner's crashed 2016 Miata with brand new car

Fri, Jul 24 2015

The first shipment of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miatas are finally here. Imagine the jubilant sensation of being among the 1,000 people to pick up the limited Launch Edition, only to feel eviscerated when the new roadster crashes hardly a mile away from the dealer. While it must be an absolutely horrendous experience, Mazda North American Operations is making things right for one forlorn couple. In what was surely among the first recorded crashes of the 2016 Miata in the US, a husband and wife recently went to pick up their new Launch Edition, but they were rear-ended almost as soon as they left the dealer. According to Jalopnik, the hit also caused the roadster to slam into the car in front and might have bent the frame. To make a bad situation even worse, the wife also needed to be taken to the hospital to be checked out. Mazda is coming to the couple's aid with a generous gift. Knowing that it's utterly unfair for the new owners not to enjoy some top-down driving while the summer lasts, the company is actually sending the pair another Launch Edition to replace their crashed example. According to a Facebook post by the dealer (below), the car should be available sometime next month. Hopefully, the couple can enjoy thousands of miles of roadster driving with this one. After hearing about one of our customers getting rear-ended just minutes after picking up their new Miata, Mazda is sending out a replacement next month! #LongLiveTheRoadster Posted by Tom Bush Mazda on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 Related Video:

Mazda RX-Vision Concept revives the rotary

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Mazda continues fighting to keep the rotary alive, and with the RX-Vision concept at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, the company unveils its dream for the engine's revival in a curvaceous sports coupe. Before any fans burst with excitement at the prospect, Mazda only "hopes" to have this gorgeous shape available in showrooms someday, for now. The RX-Vision starts with the classic elements of a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe by combining a long, low hood, short rear deck, and a passenger compartment way at the back. From there, Mazda's stylists add the swooping touches of the brand's Kodo design language. The result looks thoroughly modern and still subtly evokes generations of the RX-7 in the sculpted fenders and flowing roofline. Under that shapely hood hides Mazda's next-generation rotary, which the company has dubbed the Skyactiv-R. Unfortunately, details about it are quite scarce at the moment, including the displacement or even the number of rotors the engine uses. Still, Mazda is abundantly clear that development of the mill is very much moving forward. Mazda's designers opt for a retro flair inside with the deeply dished steering wheel and gauges in three pods. The rest is simple and elegant with a minimalist, metal gearshift rising from the center console and leather straps for door pulls. Finishing things off is a clean mix of red and black upholstery with a little carbon fiber for contrast. Expect live shots from Tokyo soon to show how the RX-Vision looks under the lights.

The rotary engine is a symbol of the company's "never-stop-challenging" spirit. RX-VISION represents a vision of the future that Mazda hopes to one day make into reality; a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car with exquisite, KODO design-based proportions only Mazda could envision, and powered by the next-generation SKYACTIV-R rotary engine. Rotary engines feature a unique construction, generating power through the rotational motion of a triangular rotor. Overcoming numerous technical difficulties, Mazda succeeded in commercializing the rotary engine, fitting it in the Cosmo Sport (known as Mazda 110S overseas) in 1967.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
