Up for sale is my 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL with 133k on it. It is neither a showroom vehicle nor a basket case. You’ll get a garaged car that’s a daily driver you can enjoy and work on along the way. It is in good as is condition, being fun and reliable. Surprisingly it gets much attention from different generations of people. Mark my words, these collectible vehicles are getting closer to having their day in the sun.

Here are the pros…

There are no major rust issues with the car; the paint is average with some clearcoat fading in some areas (see pics).                             

It has a newer CD player with a phone jack for your Smartphone. It also has Sirius satellite radio. I do have the original factory radio cassette with equalizer included.

Has the removable sunroof, power windows, power mirrors (driver side doesn’t work), and cruise control.

Recent service includes the front/rear brakes, front rotors, and brake fluid flushed.

Other repairs in my ownership are: all belts replaced, changed spark plugs, master cylinder replaced, thermostat replaced, igniter replaced, and newer battery.

Here are the cons…

Air conditioning doesn’t work (never looked into, may be a leak that needs sealing and perhaps an opportunity to convert to 134a coolant). Heat does work.

Power steering doesn’t function due to a leak. I’ve already replaced the pump (But I have no issues with driving).

There is a surface scrape on the very front corner of the right quarter panel and bumper (see pics). HOWEVER, I have a car bra (never used) that will cover the scrapes if you don’t want to initially paint. It will come with the car. I have also a new unused, unpainted bumper cover and all used replacement parts (light covers, rubber molding) to repair the scraped area should you repair and paint down the road. It includes a shop manual (a reproduced edition).

A $500.00 deposit via PayPal is required to hold the vehicle and the balance is due upon pick up with a certified check only. Car will be for sale locally in Cincinnati, Ohio. Feel free to contact me with questions.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.

Mazda recalls 1.37 million older vehicles for ignition switch short [UPDATE]

Fri, Oct 23 2015

UPDATE: Mazda has confirmed to Autoblog that NHTSA's figures and list of effected models are accurate. Mazda is recalling 1,368,500 older vehicles in the US that date as far back as the late '80s because a potential short circuit in the ignition switch could cause a fire. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the models include: 1990-1995 323 1993-1998 626 1993-1995 929 1989-1998 MPV 1993-1997 MX-6 1992-1993 MX-3 1990-1998 Protege Mazda reports that over time the grease around the switch's contact points can carbonize and become conductive, which can eventually lead to a short circuit. In some cases this results in smoke, but it could also lead to a fire. According to company spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to Autoblog, there're no accidents, injuries, or fires in the US. Once the vehicle is running, the potential fault also doesn't affect drivability. Documents from NHTSA (as a PDF), indicate there was a fire in one of these vehicles in Japan in 2002 that could have been linked to this issue. The recall should begin in December. In its announcement of the issue below, Mazda reports 1.2 million vehicles affected and includes the 1990-1996 323/Protege. Autoblog has reached out to the company to understand the discrepancy.

In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat. CONSEQUENCE: If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8715J.
