Up for sale is my 1991 Mazda RX7 Turbo II that I used as a track car. As you can tell from the VIN, this was not originally a Turbo car, but was a 1991 N/A Coupe. The original Turbo donor car was wrecked, and this chassis was the recipient. Everything was swapped off the Turbo car onto this car. So the most important pieces everyone will ask about is the rear diff and the suspension, and yes, it is all S5 Turbo drive train, suspension, everything.

Here is what I have done to the car:

  • Manual Steering Rack
  • KYB Adjustable Shocks
  • Eibach Springs
  • 5mm Front Floating Wheel Spacer
  • 20mm Rear Bolt On Wheel Spacer
  • Earls Braided Brake Lines
  • 3" Down Pipe (I think it might be Racing Beat)
  • 3" Exhaust (brand unknown, it is all bolt on though, so it is RX7 specific, has a removable silencer)
  • HKS Blow Off Valve
  • HKS Top Mount Intercooler
  • HKS Air Intake
  • Samco Radiator Hoses
  • Koyo Radiator
  • Turbo Inlet is all new couplers
  • Intercooler Inlet is all new couplers
  • Intake coupler out of intercooler is a genuine HKS coupler

  • RTEK Stage 2.0 N370 ECU- Programmable Fuel and Timing Maps- Currently Configured for 550 Primary and 720 Secondary Injectors: Data-logging/Tuning Cable and Palm Zire 71 Also Included (not pictured)
  • Wideband Controller Installed and Wired to RTEK for Data-logging.
  • Interior Removed, All Stock Wiring Still Present.
  • Recaro Drivers Seat Installed
  • Shifter Has All New Bushings and Gaskets
  • Clutch is a Stage 2 Exedy
  • Racing Beat Lightweight Flywheel
  • Walbro Fuel Pump (Hot Side Is Wired Directly To Battery with Large Gauge Wire and Turned On Via Relay)
  • Hankook Evo V12 Tires 225/50/16
  • S4 N/A Gauge Cluster Wired In (I like the brighter orange of the S4, but I do not have a S5 cluster to put back in it)
  • Probably forgetting other stuff
So, everyone always has a story to tell of why they are selling their RX7, here is mine.

I took this car to the Harris Hill Raceway track days every once in a while when I lived in Texas. My wife who is in the Air Force got orders to North Bay Ontario Canada, so I had the car shipped (along with 3 of my other RX7's) to Pennsylvania where her parents live. On our way up here to Canada, we stayed in Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks, and I would take the car out on the mountain roads. The last day I drove it, I ran it out of gas, had my wife bring me a 5 gallon jug of gas on the side of the road, and drove it back to where we stored it. (it ran fine). After getting settled here in Canada, we went back down for Christmas, and while there, I started all the cars to let them run a bit, but this one gave me problems. It would start and idle, but as soon as you touch the throttle, it bogs and dies. I brought it up here with me to Canada to work on it, and as far as I have gotten with it is make sure the fuel pump and relays are working. I suspect that the fuel lines, fuel filter, or injectors have junk in them from letting the tank run empty. As my other project (Supercharged 13B powered 1989 GTUs) has taken precedence, I simply do not have the time or motivation to work on this one, as I don't have tracks around me to run it anyway. 

If you have any questions, please let me know. I can take pictures of whatever you need. It would only let me post 24 pictures, but I have pictures of the lights on, and I have a picture of the fuel pump, as well as pictures of all three VIN numbers that match (door, firewall, VIN plate) Title is a Texas title, and I have the import papers from when I brought it across the border. I have a video of it on the track spitting flames if anyone wants to see that.

I can tow this to the Toronto area and everywhere in between there and North Bay. If shipped anywhere else in Canada, I can assist with loading. I am also going back down to Pennsylvania mid July, so I can take it down to PA and if you live in the states, you can estimate your shipping from there.

2020 Mazda3 hatchback starts at $24,620, a $100 increase

Wed, Aug 28 2019

Car and Driver got the scoop on some 2020 Mazda3 pricing, and anyone waiting for the new model year had better bring more money. The Mazda3 sedan goes up by $500 to $21,500. After the $920 destination charge, that's a total of $22,420. On the sedan, however, the extra dosh pays for extra equipment. Every sedan trim gets Mazda's i-Activsense driver assistance tech, meaning adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and lane-departure warning. The i-Activsense suite had been an option the sedan's entry-level trims. The Mazda3 sedan in Select guise, one step above the entry-level model, increases $100 to $23,620. Starting price for the front-wheel drive 2020-model-year hatchback comes in at $24,620 after destination. C/D says that's a $1,020 bump, but we believe that figure is an error. Based on the fact that Mazda's U.S. pricing rounds off to the nearest hundred and destination is $920, it seems more likely the $24,620 price includes destination. In that case, the 2020 Mazda3 hatch only goes up by $100. The five-door models don't get any more equipment, but Mazda say's there's a new finish for the wheels on the top-tier Premium trim. All other trims hold steady. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a square 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque remains the sole engine option, a six-speed automatic is the standard transmission on all trims, the hatchback in Premium form offering a six-speed manual option. Buyers of the entry-level sedan are stuck with front-wheel drive, while every other trim offers all-wheel drive for $1,400. The sedans should hit dealerships this month, and the hatchbacks will roll in come September.

Remember that diesel Mazda has been promising? It's coming in the CX-5

Wed, Nov 16 2016

Mazda has been talking about bringing a diesel to the US since the current Mazda 6 debuted. It's been delayed, delayed some more, and then seemingly forgotten, but now comes word that the diesel four-cylinder will arrive here in the second half of 2017. It's just coming in the CX-5 first, not the 6 sedan. The diesel in question is Mazda's Skyactiv-D 2.2-liter four, which makes 173 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque in other models. Putting it in a small crossover makes some sense, especially considering the recent announcement of a diesel Chevy Equinox. It's good news for choice and another sign that the diesel scandal brewhaha's effect on diesel decisions is blowing over. If it works in the CX-5, we may see this option spread throughout the Mazda lineup. Now if only someone could make a case for that rotary...

Translogic 182: CXC Motion Pro II Racing Simulator

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Translogic gets some seat time in the CXC Motion Pro II to test if the high fidelity racing simulator can impact our host's real-life track times. Host Jonathon Buckley hits the track at Auto Club Speedway of California in a 2015 BMW M4 to put down a baseline lap time before his virtual training session in the Motion Pro II. After learning the lines of the track in a simulated setting, Jonathon returns to the track to put his skills to the test. "We designed it, originally, as a professional training tool for race car drivers," says CXC Simulation's founder and president Chris Considine. "Make it authentic. Make it real." The Motion Pro II boasts "thousands of cars and track models," ranging from street cars, to rally and off-road vehicles. Will this hyper realistic racing simulator help Jonathon improve his lap time?
