Non Running - Lots Of Parts on 2040-cars
Grove, Oklahoma, United States
I am putting a 1987 RX7 TII up for sale as a project or for parts. The car has a lot invested in it, but is no longer something I am interested in. I can get car to start by putting a little fuel into the chamber and the tuning shop had it running off starting fluid - has spark and compression but no fuel. Oil has been
Non-original motor, rebuilt over a year ago, compression seems and has been stated to me as ok. New Parts: Walbro 255 fuel pump, Haltech Sprint RE programmable ECU, Clutch, Clutch Master and Slave cylinders, Resurfaced flywheel, Aeromotive 13129 Fuel pressure regulator and gauge, Motor mounts, Starter, Radiator, Remanufactured 550cc Fuel injectors. New Parts Internal: Apex, Side, and Corner Seals from Atkins. Soft seals and O-rings. Engine is complete, alternator only accessory hooked up, AC in box, smog pump gone, car does not have power steering (from factory I believe). Extra Parts: Spare 5 speed Turbo transmission - unknown condition New passenger area carpet in box - black NXS turbo timer Spare stock Turbo - needs rebuilt AC compressor - unhooked - unknown condition Car had a suspension kit on it from Suspension Techniques when I bought it. It was behind some guys house where it had sat for at least 3 years, the owner pulled the motor and sold it for scrap. Replacement motor bought out of a parts car, checked vin was a 87 or 88 turbo 2. Rebuilt using parts ordered through Atkins including new 2mm Apex seals. Car was previously in Arizona, now Oklahoma, no rust issues. Body fairly strait with peeling paint and a few dents (passenger headlight cover). Car has been professionally fitted with a Haltech sprint RE - has not been tuned. Shop also fabbed block off plates (OMP still attached though). Rats nest still attached because I still have the hard fuel lines hooked up. Lots of people say fuel issues and I choose not to believe them; so a quick list of things I have tried or corrected. Had original low impedance injectors cleaned, wiped out bottom of tank, corrected fuel lines that were hooked up wrong, replaced fuel pressure regulator (fpr), replaced stock FPR replacement with Areomotive and made sure to get gauge, checked grounds, leads, fuses, and resistance on fuel injectors, bought high impedance fuel injectors. Rechecked that injectors enabled in haltech. Good pressure in the fuel rails and seems like injectors are getting ground signal that the haltech does. Known faults: No Fuel Cracked front windshield Driver seat poor to fair, passenger seat bad Car has dents and the clear is peeling (exterior is rough looking with the clear coming off and was so far down the to do list to worry about, I make no promises about it except that I have been under it and around it plenty and haven't seen rust - flaking or holes) Harness for gauge cluster needs rewiring (in passenger compartment even with gauges on the firewall) guage cluster bezel broken plastic pieces surrounding steering column missing No carpet for hatch compartment Tires hold air but are too small Master cylinder for brakes needs replacing and brakes bled - E-brake only one working at the moment Included odometer is a replacement and does not reflect actual miles which are unknown Has some wires that need cleaning up, the hoses for the intercooler need replaced, and a small list of other things that I was saving till after I got it running. I would be better off parting it out, but space and time are better reserved for other things right now. I have tried to put 100% about the car on here but easier thought than done. I will be happy to answer any questions about the car, but if I need to be with the car it will have to wait till the weekend. Oklahoma Title clear and in my name. Car is black tagged through next month - June 2014. The first three pictures are from this month, the others are 6 months or older. Car is As-is, and all misc parts related to the car will go with it. |

Will the new Mazda Miata be available with multiple engines?
Mon, 01 Sep 2014At this point, the countdown until the launch of the all-new, fourth-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata can be measured in hours until its September 3 unveiling as easily as it can in days. With the debut of such a highly anticipated model so close, the rumors about the new sports car are starting to boil over.
We recently heard that the new Miata would likely get a 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder with a six-speed manual, plus a decent drop in weight compared to the current gen. There's even the rumored possibility of a fastback coupe version sometime in the future.
Now, Australia's GoAuto is adding another dollop of speculation into the mix with the claim that there could be "potentially more engine options," according to Mazda Australia managing director Martin Benders to the website. The more potent option would still be the 2.0-liter Skyactiv with a power bump from its current 167 hp to closer to 200 ponies. The other possible powerplant option would be a 1.5-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder taken from the upcoming Mazda2 replacement. This version would also ditch some of the MX-5's more premium features to cut the weight and the price slightly.
Mazda starts production of new MX-5 Miata in Japan
Thu, Mar 5 2015We often regard a new model as having arrived when its manufacturer reveals it for the first time. But you might argue that nothing is official until actual production gets underway. And that's just what's happened now with the new Mazda MX-5. The fourth-generation Miata was unveiled a few months ago, and now the first examples have begun to roll off the assembly line at Mazda's Ujina plant in Hiroshima. The first ones are set to stay in Japan, where the new roadster is being introduced initially. Deliveries are set to launch in June. After that, we can expect the new MX-5 to proliferate to markets around the world, including our own. To date Mazda has sold more than 950,000 of its little roadsters, making it the best-selling two-seat sports car in the world. It shouldn't be long, then, before the new model tips it past the million-unit mark. 2015/03/05 Mazda Starts Production of All-new Mazda MX-5 HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda Motor Corporation today began production of the all-new Mazda MX-5 two-seater lightweight sports car (known as Mazda Roadster in Japan) at Ujina Plant No.1 in Hiroshima. The first models produced are destined for the Japanese market. Sales of the all-new MX-5 will begin in Japan around June this year and interested buyers can make an appointment for pre-sale discussions through a dedicated website from noon on Friday, March 20. Following sales start in Japan, the MX-5 will be progressively rolled out to overseas markets. The MX-5 is an iconic model representing Mazda's vehicle engineering philosophy: the pursuit of driving pleasure. With production exceeding 950,000 units as of the end of January 2015, the MX-5 continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the world's best-selling two-seater sports car. In order to respond to ever increasing demands for safety features and environmental performance while maintaining the element of fun that has always defined the model, development of the fourth generation MX-5 was carried out under the motto "innovate in order to preserve". In addition to incorporating SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and KODO-Soul of Motion design, development focused on enhancing the senses and sensations through which people enjoy cars. Moving forward, Mazda will continue to enrich the lives of its customers through a variety of touch points including the production of high-quality vehicles, and become a brand that maintains a special bond with its customers.

Mazda still has a team working on rotary engines
Sun, Sep 20 2015The flame still burns within Mazda to stage a rotary engine revival. Before you start getting excited, it's way too soon to start saving money for the fabled, next-gen RX-7 or RX-8. Still, company boss Masamichi Kogai confirmed to Autocar that the Japanese automaker has an engineering team dedicated to improving the Wankel. This development group has the hard task of trying to make the rotary stack up to modern internal combustion engines in terms of emissions and fuel-economy standards. Neither factor were ever exactly Wankel's strong suits. Kogai described them as working "very enthusiastically" to Autocar. The boss didn't discuss any future RX-vehicles or the size of the team, however, a report from last year indicated that there were 30 engineers in partnership with universities to update the engine's design. After problems keeping up with emissions and fuel economy, Mazda built it's last rotary for an RX-8 in June 2012. Since then, there have been intermittent rumors of a return. One possible solution was a design called the 16X that was supposed to offer more torque and better fuel economy. Another possibility was a small-displacement unit as a range-extender in an electric Mazda2. Rumors of a new RX-7 have been heard for years. In 2013, Kogai clearly said that it wasn't happening. When asked again last year, he reiterated the same point.
