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.
Engine / Exhaust
Electronics/Management
Misc stuff
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. |

Road & Track to take Miata on million-mile march
Sat, 11 Jan 2014Road & Track has taken on a Miata project. One hell of a project, if we're honest. You see, the Miata in question, a 1989 example in Mariner Blue, isn't a high-mileage Mazda that the publication intends to fix up, or make race-worthy, or try to flip or give away to a reader or something. No, it's a rather typical well-used NA, with a hefty 325,000 miles on the clock to-date that the staff plans on driving until the six-digit odo reads all zeros again. One million miles or bust (or both, most likely).
Procured for the bargain-basement price of $1,600, complete with seat covers that "really do look like muppet pelts" (according to Zach Bowman) and a bondo-filled love tap on the nose, the NA Miata actually looks like just the sort of fun-machine that a real driving enthusiast would pick up to get some cheap thrills in. The R&T team already has some interesting plans for the Miata, including a potential run up Pikes Peak and loaning it out to readers (or perhaps your author...). Click through to read all about it.
Japanese automakers welcome North American trade deal, fear what's next
Tue, Oct 2 2018TOKYO — Toyota, Nissan and Mazda welcomed on Tuesday the revised North America trade deal that left Japanese automakers unscathed, but they may face a bumpy ride when Washington and Tokyo hold new talks on over $40 billion of annual U.S. auto imports from Japan. The United States and Canada reached an agreement on Sunday to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after Washington had forged a separate trade deal with Mexico in August. The updated deal effectively maintains the auto industry's current footprint in North America, and spares Canada and Mexico from the prospect of U.S. national security tariffs on their vehicles. Mazda, which ships cars to the United States from Mexico and Japan, called the deal a "big step forward". Nissan, which makes the cars it sells in the United States locally as well as in Mexico, Japan and other countries, said it was "encouraged" by the agreement. Toyota, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was "pleased" that a basic deal was reached. Other automakers were not immediately available for comment. While the deal has removed the risk that the disintegration of the pact would have posed to automakers, bigger risks loom large for Japanese firms as a chunk of the roughly 7 million cars they sold in the U.S. last year were shipped from Japan, and a trade deal between Washington and Tokyo has yet to be agreed. The United States and Japan last week agreed to begin fresh trade talks, with U.S. President Donald Trump seeking to address Japan's $69 billion trade surplus, of which nearly two-thirds comes from auto exports. Washington is also investigating the possibility of slapping 25 percent tariffs on auto imports on national security grounds, although it has agreed with Japan to put any new tariffs on hold during the talks. Analysts say the United States may take a tougher stance on auto imports from Japan than from its neighbors. "If Japan requests an exemption from the 25 percent tariffs under consideration, Washington could propose a more strict cap on imports than it agreed to with Mexico and Canada," said Koji Endo, senior analyst at SBI Securities. "That would be a risk." This could be a big blow to Japan, as the United States is a key source of revenue for Japanese automakers including Toyota, Nissan and Honda. The U.S. market accounts for a quarter or more of their annual global vehicle sales, and of their total U.S.
Mazda to reveal MX-5 Miata Club Edition in New York
Thu, Mar 26 2015Mazda is bringing a new version of its latest MX-5 Miata to the New York Auto Show. And while it's giving us very little to go on at the moment, from what we can tell so far, it looks promising. For starters, it's called the Club Edition, which speaks to us of enhanced performance – particularly on the track. For another, the statement below highlights the "maximum driving enjoyment" the existing MX-5 was "designed to deliver," and then proceeds to claim that the Club will "amplify that experience, harking back to the early lightweight sports cars that inspired it, but serving as a beacon for the future as a thoroughly modern, sophisticated package." Hopefully, then, it'll serve as some sort of road-going mid-point between the stock version and the Global Cup racing concept pictured above. We'd expect the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to carry over likely unchanged with its 155 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, but with the potential addition of a stiffened suspension, upgraded rolling stock, revised aero, enhanced cockpit and maybe some excess weight trimmed out – although the new Miata doesn't have much to lose as it is. In any case, we're excited. Related Video: 2016 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA CLUB EDITION TO DEBUT AT NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW - 2016 MX-5 Club represents most aggressive road-going version - IRVINE, Calif., March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready to join the Club? The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club edition, that is. Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) will be introducing the North American-spec MX-5 Club next week at the New York International Auto Show. The MX-5 Club represents the most aggressive road-going iteration of Mazda's fourth-generation flagship roadster. The 2016 MX-5 sheds approximately 150 lbs. from its predecessor through use of lightweight, efficient SKYACTIV®1 TECHNOLOGY, now weighing 2,332 lbs. when equipped with the standard SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission (2,381 lbs. with the six-speed automatic). Powering all North American models will be a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV engine, rated at 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Shorter than the first-generation MX-5 that initially graced U.S. shores in 1989, yet wider than the outgoing model and with its engine lower and farther back in its chassis, the 2016 MX-5 is designed to deliver maximum driving enjoyment.
