Only 67k original miles!
This car is in great shape. I’ve never seen a cleaner interior on a car this age. No rust, engine pulls strong all the way to redline, it’s a true survivor. I am the 3rd owner. My girlfriend (2nd owner) purchased it from the original owner in May of 2011 with 42k miles. Title transferred to me in October of 2012. I have been using it as a daily driver since, and have used that experience to fix/repair/correct everything that could go wrong on a car of this age. I have the original paperwork from the sale to the original owner in 1985, as well as the original warranty paperwork (remember when there was a separate warranty for rust-proofing and cruise control?). When purchased from original owner in 2011, the seller disclosed the following work that had been done to the car: -Catless exhaust (Mazda) -Rat-Nest removal -Air pump removal -Repainted in 1995 (due to fading)
After purchase, we performed the following:
-Brake master cylinder rebuild -Sport springs from ReSpeed -New OEM brass radiator -New Fuel Pump
In the last 6 months, I have had the following done at the Mazda Dealer. All parts are OEM:
-New (less than 1k miles) Toyo Proxes -Pioneer entertainment system (CD, DVD, Bluetooth, etc) -Alternator -Water Pump -Starter -Pulleys (racing) and belts -Distributer Cap - Spark Plugs and Wires -Window Regulator -Wipers -Tie Rods - Ball Joints -Control Arms -Sway Bar links -All steering bushings -AC Re-charge -Alignment -Oil Cooler O-Ring
Some of the pictures are newer than others. The most recent have: Toyo Proxes tires and new radio. As you can see, I’ve put about $4,500 into it in the past 3 months to get it where it is now. And where it is now is awesome. If I were to keep it, I would likely finish off with fixing the few minor things that remain, which are:
-Repaint the SS trim, as it’s starting to chip/fade. Common to all RX-7 FBs, as they painted over Stainless Steel….. -Slight play in steering wheel. Again, common with FBs. I’d likely do a rack-pinion conversion if I were to keep it. -Re-Stretch the vinyl on the door panels. It’s not all that bad, but since the rest of the interior is in like-new condition, it sticks out to me (I’m picky). -Gas gauge: It works, but it registers 1/4 tank low. So when you fill the tank it shows 3/4 of a tank, and when it shows empty you’ve really got 1/4 tank left. Never really cared enough to fix that.
This car is not perfect, but it is very nice. There are a few minor scratches (mainly on the rear by the hatch latch from putting stuff in and out) as well as a rock chip or two and some barely noticeable tiny dings. Minimal, but I like to disclose these things. Absolutely NO RUST. And did I mention it drives great? Oil pressure is good, never even comes close to overheating, great engine response. I’ve had many cars in my life (BMWs, Corvettes, Porsches, etc) and never been complimented as much as when I drive this RX-7. It really is a looker, and a great car. Sale will include Mazda RX-7 car cover, as well as the original rubber pieces for the side and rear of the car (personally I think it looks better without them). Original Floor Mats in great shape, as well as aftermarket rubber floor mats. I’ll also throw in whatever extra bits I have laying around (spark plugs, Service Manual, etc) I welcome in-person inspections. I can also refer you to the service manager at Mazda that has performed all recent service. Clear title, no liens. Prefer local pickup, but can assist with shipping (at buyer’s expense) if needed. Any questions, just ask! |

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Has Arrived
Thu, Sep 4 2014Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The highly anticipated fourth-generation (ND) model made its official debut in Monterey, CA this evening, and while details are slim (as in, we have practically none), there's one big thing to talk about: less weight. Yes, Mazda has confirmed that the new Miata sheds some 220 pounds over the model it replaces, and is "the most compact of any generation MX-5 so far." For those keeping track, that means the new MX-5 should weigh in somewhere around 2,200 pounds. Mazda's Kodo design language is obvious here, with a seriously wide and low demeanor, and a mix of flowing lines and sharp angles. We don't have any powertrain details to report as of this writing, but Mazda says the full suite of Skyactiv technologies are onboard, and the motto in creating this car was "Innovate in order to preserve." Click the image above to see the new MX-5 Miata in high resolution, click below for the press release, and stay tuned to this space for more details as they break. UPDATE: Want more Miata details? Please check out our in-depth firsthand report from the Miata's reveal event by clicking here and see the first-ever rolling footage of the car in our brief video here. Mazda Unveils All-New Mazda MX-5 HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda Motor Corporation today celebrated the unveiling of the fourth generation Mazda MX-5 (known as Roadster in Japan) together with fans at events held simultaneously in Japan, USA and Spain. The all-new MX-5, which adopts both SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and Mazda's KODO-Soul of Motion design language, will be rolled out to global markets starting in 2015. The MX-5 is an iconic model representing Mazda's vehicle-engineering philosophy-the pursuit of driving pleasure. "Innovate in order to preserve" was the motto for the fourth generation, as the development team searched for innovations that go beyond simple evolution. Environmental and safety demands are much more stringent than they were when the first generation MX-5 was introduced 25 years ago, but the fourth generation stays true to the model's original aim of offering the pure driving fun that only a lightweight sports car can. It achieves this through the adoption of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and refinement of its appeal to the senses and sensations through which people enjoy cars. The design of the all-new MX-5 reveals another layer to Mazda's KODO design language.
Mazda goes on engineer hiring binge as recovery picks up speed
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Japan's larger automakers - companies like Toyota, Honda and Nissan - have tremendous engineering talent at their disposal. That's largely because, selling as many cars as they do, they've got more revenues to tap into. Logic might dictate, then, that smaller automakers like Mazda, which no longer has the deep pockets afforded to it by its former partnership with Ford, might have less of a budget and workforce for engineering. But Mazda has been raking in record profits, and it plans on cashing those revenues in by hiring a substantial new pool of engineers.
According to Automotive News, Mazda is preparing to hire as many as 185 new engineers over the next two years - almost four times as many as the 50 engineers it previously targeted. Many of those engineers will be put to work developing the second-generation, Skyactiv 2 technologies that are on the drawing board while the first round of Skyactiv features are still being rolled out.
The boost in recruitment is enabled by a positive fiscal year that ended last March, marking the first profits Mazda had logged in four years. Sources anticipate that the fiscal year culminating at the end of this month will mark the company's most profitable yet, netting over a billion dollars to eclipse the fiscal year that ended in 2008 when it recorded $872.5 million in profits.
Mazda Furai concept designer talks about his car's passing
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Last week, there was mourning at the Autoblog offices as word trickled in that the Mazda Furai concept - one of the coolest, best-looking showcars to grace an auto show stage since the wild and crazy 1960s -had been killed. It was killed on the track with the folks from Top Gear in attendance. We're sure the gods of driving would have wanted it to die on a circuit, but that doesn't make its fiery passing any easier to deal with.
The Furai is the rare concept car that had a lasting appeal with enthusiasts, partly because it was a real, functioning racecar, complete with a wacky three-rotor Wankel engine and cutting-edge Nagare design. Now that it's gone, though, Road & Track's Mallory McMorrow, who was an intern at Mazda Design when the Furai was being styled in 2007, has published an interview with one of the men who penned the Mazda showcar's striking exterior, Carlos Salaff. It's a great piece on the emotional connection between a designer and his creation, and one you should take the time to read. Click on over to R&T for the full story.
