When is the last time you saw this iconic sports car on the road?! I was pretty excited to find this very special 1979 Mazda RX7. The gal I bought it from had owned the car since new, but when family matters (kids) got in the way, she parked the car around 1994. There it stayed garaged for 20 years until she decided to part with it. The car is completely stock and unmodified. Still sporting it's shiny mostly original paint and black vinyl interior in excellent shape. This is a highly optioned car, fitted with sunroof, AC and auto transmission. 1979 is the first year of the RX7, and the only year in it's pure form. From 1980 RX7 received numerous revisions to the body and mechanical systems. This is an unmolested car without any modifications whatsoever. The body is very straight and 100% rust free. It appears the passenger side fender was repainted at some point. Sunroof can be opened, or removed completely. Original storage pouch and wind deflector are present. New hatch struts. Windshield has a crack down low. Interior is perfect with the only flaw being 2 tears in the vinyl seats. Dash is perfect. All electrical system is in working order, including AC. Engine starts right up and has plenty of power, it smokes a bit upon cold startup, but clears up after a minute of driving. According to the research I've done this is quite normal for older rotaries, and does not pose a problem. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, and really is quite sporty! Original alloy wheels with a matching spare in the trunk. Tires are older, but have full tread and hold air just fine. Braking system has new master cylinder, brake pads and flushed with new fluid. Radiator has new hoses, coolant system flush and new fluid. Pressure tested and in good order. Car always holds good temperature regardless of driving condition. New alternator, all belts, spark plugs and a fresh oil change. In short, this is a very original survivor, that is road ready and can be enjoyed as-is, or restored to full glory. My intent was to have the windshield replaced (quoted $150) and have the car painted, but plans have changed and I must concentrate on other projects. I hope this deserving car gets to a true enthusiast who will fully appreciate it. I have clear title in my name, and can arrange shipping anywhere in US if needed at buyer's expense. Thank you

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata first engine shot revealed
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We've dug deep for just about every scrap of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata info available out of the car's California reveal celebration, but powertrain particulars have been especially hard to come by. While we still don't have engine specifications, the folks over at Autoweek have scored a nice scoop - the first underhood photos of one of the display cars.
In the image above, the ND-generation Miata is clearly shown to be powered by a Skyactiv inline four-cylinder, as expected, but its displacement remains unclear. The engine is most likely either the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine offered in low-end Mazda3 and CX-5 models or the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G found in those same vehicles' upper trims. In those iterations, the 2.0-liter generates 155 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque, while the larger-displacement engine nets out at 184 hp and 185 lb-ft. There is no sign of a turbocharger, a feature rumored to be fitted to at least one test mule. There has also been previous rumors of a 1.5-liter Skyactiv engine, possibly for overseas markets.
The 2.0-liter strikes us as the most likely scenario, particularly as Mazda has worked diligently to save every gram in the new car, dropping a pledged 100 kilograms (220 pounds) over the current model, even while adding content. It's entirely possible that the alleged turbo car was, in fact, a mule for the Miata's Alfa Romeo sister car, which is expected to have a wholly different powertrain. Or it could simply be a second engine option for an eventual Mazdaspeed variant, perhaps.
100k Mazda6 sedans recalled over tire-monitoring systems
Wed, Nov 26 2014A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is, as you might have guessed, designed to monitor the air pressure in the tires, and alert the driver if pressure drops. But a problem found in the Mazda6 could keep the system from doing its job. According to the recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the TPMS in the Mazda6 might not recognize a loss in tire pressure if all the tires slowly deflate at the same time. Under-inflated tires, it goes without saying, could increase the risk of a crash. As a result, Mazda is recalling 99,711 examples of the 2014-2015 Mazda6 to have the system's software updated. RECALL Subject : Tire Pressure Monitoring System/FMVSS 138 Report Receipt Date: OCT 27, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V675000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 99,711 Manufacturer: Mazda North American Operations SUMMARY: Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, to October 10, 2014. If the pressures of four of the tires on an affected vehicle gradually drop at the same time, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not warn the driver of the drop in pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System." CONSEQUENCE: A vehicle that is driven with under inflated tires may experience a sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
