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.

2018 L.A. Auto Show: 5-plus takeaways on Jeep, Honda, Porsche and more

Thu, Nov 29 2018

The 2018 L.A. Auto Show is making a strong case that auto shows aren't dead. Carmakers are ladling out sports cars and SUVs featuring serious style and performance in Los Angeles, and it's a feast for the senses. We're talking the new Porsche 911, the long-awaited Jeep Gladiator and the stylish Mazda3. It's the best car show with the most important reveals since the 2018 Detroit Auto Show kicked off the year. Here are some quick reactions: The 2019 Jeep Gladiator is a rock star When the story went live on Autoblog, our traffic went straight up. I've literally never seen the graph go straight up. So yeah, you guys seem to like it. I do, too. It's everything I want in a vehicle, including enough of a retro feel that it satisfies my cravings for an old Cherokee XJ. It's more capable and likely more expensive than I originally anticipated, but Jeep is going to have to expand its Toledo factory to keep up with demand. Don't be fooled by whatever the politicians say when that happens. It's because people like Jeeps and pickups, and this is the hero sandwich of all of that. I'd likely go with the 3.6-liter and a manual transmission if I were buying a Gladiator, but the diesel is compelling, too. Gladiator is a great name, drenched in history. I like it better than Scrambler, which never felt right to me. Only issue: It's a little over-the-top. Imagine this conversation: "So, ready to go to Panera?" "Sure, let's take the Gladiator." I mean, it's a bit much to refer to your personal vehicle as the Gladiator. Unless Russell Crowe is driving it. Then it's fine. The 2020 Porsche 911 is conservatively brilliant Every time I drive a 718 Cayman, Jaguar F-Type or another 911 challenger, I wonder if the 911 may be over the hill. It's not. And it likely never will be. This latest generation, dubbed 992 in Porsche-speak, stayed the course. The back takes some Mission E stylings that give the 911 a more modern feel. The flat six gets a little more power. The digital-heavy interior looks futuristic and slick. But overall, it's a blocking-and-tackling update that should satisfy the purists and maybe draw in a few new Porsche fans. It's the right time for the 2019 Honda Passport This slots between the Honda CR-V and the Honda Pilot. That's serious segmentation, but it's another crossover, and it's undoubtedly what the people want.

2014 Mazda6 i-Eloop to net 40 mpg hwy, 28 mpg city

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

Even before Mazda unveiled the 2014 Mazda6, it had introduced its innovative, non-hybrid i-Eloop (Intelligent Energy Loop) brake regeneration system. This technology converts kinetic energy into usable electricity using the alternator, a DC/DC converter and a capacitor mounted just behind the front fascia. During deceleration, the alternator captures energy that is then stored in the capacitor, which can later be used to directly power electric devices like climate control and audio systems. When i-Eloop power is used, it reduces the load on the engine and helps to conserve fuel.
Now available on the Mazda6, i-Eloop is only available on the $29,695 Grand Touring trim level as a part of the $2,080 GT Technology Package, meaning that buyers desiring i-Eloop will have to spend at least $31,775 (not including destination). The added price of this technology should be worth it for those looking for optimal fuel economy as the i-Eloop, combined with the package's active grille shutters, will bump the sedan's fuel economy numbers up to 28 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg highway - both are improvements of 2 mpg over the standard Mazda6 Grand Touring. The GT Technology Package also includes a Sport mode, lane departure warning, high beam control, radar cruise control and forward obstruction warning - the latter two technologies are currently offered in a $900 package that is being discontinued.
i-Eloop will eventually be offered on other Mazda products including the 2014 Mazda3. Scroll down for the official press release on the Mazda6's fuel-saving i-Eloop technology.
