1986 Mazda RX-7 GXL 1.3 liter N/A rotary engine with only 19k original miles. Never driven in the snow. Stored in a Kentucky barn from 1988-2013. It has been totally mechanically restored. Body and interior are as found and untouched. Interior is like a time capsule , looks as new. Body is really nice. No rust at all. There are some paint blemishes caused by sap from the barn beams where it was stored. Mostly on the roof but there are some on the door and rear bumper/hatch. I left the body alone so the original condition could be observed. You can repaint if you like or drive as is. I have put over 3000 miles on the car since mechanical restoration. It drives great. Everything works except the A/C which I did not trouble shoot but would expect needs a recharge at a minimum. Suspension has original adjustable shocks/struts. 

List of reconditioned parts:

Fluids: engine oil change, manual transmission fluid, rear differential fluid, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, power steering fluid changed. All top quality fluids used, synthetic where applicable. 

Rubber parts: all vacuum hoses replaced with silicone hoses, upper and lower radiator hoses, rubber gas lines, misc. coolant hoses.

Gaskets: Upper manifold gaskets, intake plenum gaskets, thermostat and gasket, numerous others. 

Rubber shifter bushings, spark plugs, spark plug wires, air cleaner, oil injector rebuilt, new brake master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder bleed and fill, airbox plenum rebuilt, fuel injectors rebuilt and flow tested, fuel pump and both fuel filters replaced, the list is endless!

4 Goodyear tires with 80% tread installed. Brakes and rotors are original and barely worn!

All new wipers front and rear, new battery and horn relay. 

Engine was boroscoped and apex seals are as new. Cylinder bores are like new and clean. Car runs and starts great. Even in cold weather. Drives like new. 

I drove the car up until October last year and it was stored in a heated garage until now. Too many toys so something must go. Hard to find another in this great of shape. 

I've probably forgotten a few dozen things. Email with questions. Car can be driven anywhere. 

No trades, cash only, please only serious inquires. Thanks for looking. Winter storage for a small fee is available if you need it. Same year running parts car also available for additional fee. 

Bid with confidence. My feedback is excellent. Deposit is refundable if I misrepresented the car.

    Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016

    Mon, Aug 15 2016

    Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

    Mazda recalling 88k vehicles for ECU glitch

    Fri, 04 Apr 2014

    Need a break from news about the General Motors ignition switch recall? This Mazda recall should serve as a nice change of pace. It involves 88,000 cars across the globe, and focuses on the brand's three most recent (and important) models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.
    The issue rests with Mazda's new i-ELOOP regenerative braking system. Apparently there's a problem with the ECU program that monitors whether a capacitor in the regen system is working. Acceleration is affected, and in severe cases, the engine could stall. There have been no mention of accidents or injuries due to the issue, and the glitch itself can be cured by an ECU reflash.
    As i-ELOOP is a fairly new system for Mazda, particularly in the US, the total number of affected models is rather low, with just 6,500 US cars affected. Europe is hit hardest, with 38,000 models while Mazda's home market of Japan adds 27,600 cars and crossovers. Affected models were built between October 2012 and January 2014.

    This is what a 1,200-hp twin-turbo 4-rotor looks like in a Miata

    Fri, Dec 12 2014

    We've seen the diminutive Mazda MX-5 Miata swallow plenty of big engines, but New Zealand drifting ace "Mad Mike" Whiddett is roaring into where-no-man-has-gone-before territory. Wanting to replace his 515-horsepower "MADBUL" RX-7 and its twin-turbocharged, three-rotor 20B engine, his new ride is an NC-series Miata with four rotors and twin Garrett turbochargers courtesy of Pulse Performance Race Engineering. It is called "RADBUL," and expected power at standard boost is 1,200 hp, but the builders at Pulse Performance think it will get up to 1,500 hp at full boost. And yes, that exhaust exits through the hood. Four-rotor engines are actually popular - builds are detailed on forums like this one from 2007 and this one from 2008, this UK company or this Canadian company will sell you one complete - but they're usually being prepped for an RX-7. Mad Mike's choice of a Miata for this enterprise makes this about as extreme as you can get, short of throwing it into a Mazda R360. You can watch Mad Mike tell the story of the build in the video, and check out the first and second installments about the build on the Red Bull site.
