What I have for sale or trade possibly is my 1987 RX7 Turbo II two-tone Gold/Brown. I have owned this car for the last 10 years and have been very slowly building it up and fixing anything that needs to be taken car of on it. I purchased the car with about 71,xxx miles on it and it now has just a little over 81,xxx. As you can tell it doesn't get driven to often and that's part of the reason I'm looking to let it go. About 5,000 miles after I bought it the engine suffered a water jacket seal failure and so it began its life of becoming a proper rotary engine with a full rebuild.

I have no doubt that I am forgetting a ton of stuff on this car but that's the important stuff I can thing of. Now about the car as it sits. This car has had many brains and changes over the last few years. After the rebuild I had a RETEK and a different injector setup, then I changed it to a megasquirt system and wasn't happy. Finally I settled on the Power FC, and eliminating the resistor pack and running the newest generation bosch injectors. That has made a world of difference in the driveability of this car.
Now would I recommend this car for the first time RX-7 driver? Oh no, this is not a easy car to drive. For starters there is no power steering, which may not bother too many. The abs system is gone, but I have replaced the lines and put in a new master cylinder to help compensate. The ORC clutch/flywheel combo does tend to make it a little tricky in stop and go traffic, but once your rolling you will fall in love with how quickly this engine runs through the rpm range. We're talking its almost like INDY car fast between revs.
For those of you that do not like the current hood I do still have the original TII hood for it, I also have a second exhaust for it that is a single side exit if you want to be loud and make some noise. I also still have the original wheels for the car. Not to mention a couple of boxes full of misc parts and pieces for the car.

The body of the car is almost perfect, now remember this car is 26 years old and she is beginning to show some age. There are some dents in the current hood from some hail, it has a few paint chips from rocks and stuff along the lower edges of the body. There is a small dent in the passenger side door where my dog decided he could jump in the car through the open window. As for the paint, this was not a factory option, but this car was custom ordered direct from mazda with this paint combination, I have all the original bill of sales and the window sticker for it, as well as the order sheets for the custom two-tone paint job.

The bad stuff

    The AC system holds a charge and it does work, it just doesn't have a belt right now. I was working on making a custom pulley spacer so I could hook the AC belt back up with the cosmo serpentine pulleys but i never got around to it. However, if you need AC, I am including the original pulleys and belts to put everything back how it was.
    Tuning tuning tuning - I have spent most of my time tuning the car for driving. I was never really planning on making it a full throttle monster. I do not know how much power this car can make, 300, 400, 600hp!!! maybe who knows. I did have it on a dyno when I first installed the power FC to get some base tuning done on it. We never took the car past 5k and at that point it was making close to 275HP and about 300Ftlbs. I really see no reason why she can't make close to 400 at the wheels with a good proper tuning.
    The suspension was replaced with a pretty much oem/stockish setup before I bought the car. For the power it had then it was perfect, now it does need some attention. something a little more stiff would be great for it
    Some small plastic interior pieces are missing / broken. Usual stuff the triangle vents in the corners, the demister vents at the front of the windshield, the stereo surround is cracked in the normal place.

Race-inspired Mazda 3, CX-5, and Miata look great with white letter tires

Tue, Jan 14 2020

At the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, a customization show that is kind of like SEMA but definitely not the same, manufacturers promote what is available and explore what's possible. Mazda brought a variety of vehicles to the show, but none more intriguing than the Mazda Motorsports Miata, Mazda3, and CX-5 concepts. The trio has race-inspired graphics, as well as a slew of visual and mechanical changes. The three vehicles have a core pack of changes, then each one has its own signature pieces to create some differentiation. The roadster, hatchback, and crossover have height-adjustable suspensions, upgraded brakes, MazdaSpeed tow hooks, circular number body decals, new wheel nuts, Alcantara steering wheels and shift knobs, special heel plates, MazdaSpeed six-point harnesses, and MazdaSpeed sport seats. The Miata and 3 have Fujitsubo stainless mufflers, while the CX-5 has a slightly different exhaust. The Roadster appropriately has the most involved individual upgrades. It has a body kit with front, side, and rear alterations, and it sits on RAYS ZE40 17x7.5J wheels wrapped in Potenza RE-71R 215 / 45R17 rubber with beautiful white lettering. It also has a Cusco roll bar, a MazdaSpeed rear spoiler, a MazdaSpeed strut bar, and a MazdaSpeed lower arm bar. Inside, the door trim, decoration panel, shift boot, center console lid, and parking brake boot are draped in Alcantara. An aluminum pedal set is adds a final touch of polish. On the Mazda 3 hatchback, the aero kit is specifically noted to be "Signature Style." Mazda also upgraded the strut bar and lower arm bar, and threw on Rays ZE40 18x7.5J wheels in Potenza RE-71R 215 / 45R18 tires, also with white lettering. Black mirror caps, a scuff plate, and a sports pedal set complete the concept. On the CX-5, Mazda made it sportier but also added some crossover-focused features, too.. It has Mazda-styled aero, an Auto Exe sports muffler Rays G25EDGE F1 20x8.5J wheels, Bridgestone ALENZA001 255 / 45R20 tires with white lettering, and a new wheel nut set. It also has a scuff plate, premium floor mats, a premium luggage mat, and sports pedals. For now, these are only concepts, with no word as to whether anything similar could hit Japanese markets, let alone U.S. shores. A Mazda engineer previously said a MazdaSpeed3 wouldn't happen, but the company is reportedly considering a 3 with a 250-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

2016 Mazda6 gets a facelift in LA

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is a busy one for Mazda, as the Japanese brand shows off not only its all-new CX-3, but a facelifted Mazda6 sedan.
The 2016 sedan has been nipped and tucked to better fit in with newer members of the brand's range, including the aforementioned CX-3, as well as the Mazda3 and MX-5 Miata.
The grille's horizontal slats are now trimmed in chrome, while the brand's chrome wing motif on the fascia is larger and more prominent, particularly where it feeds into the headlights.
