 I am going to try and sell my 1990 RX7 Convertible N/A 5 speed. The car is overall in good shape, it has normal wear for being 23 years old, meaning really small dings or other marks here or there still. Still looks very sharp though, and the interior is very clean. The top has a really small tear on each side right after the doors where the top folds. The tears are not really noticeable and not really a problem because of where they are it does not let water or anything in.  117,819 miles. Never driven in winter, and there is no rust problem under the car.
The car can be started and run for testing, but it cannot be driven. The main issue is that the coolant system is over pressurized, so a little after it hits operating temp the coolant will be forced out the overflow tank. It does not over heat, but you can hear the coolant boil in the system. From what I think, exhaust gases are getting into the coolant. I am not really an expert and only really work on motorcycles, so I am out of my league working on a rotary engine.
The upper rad hose, rad cap, thermostat, are all new. The compression on both rotors is good. The convertible top is in good condition, along with the top's motors, and everything else like windows and heat and air conditioning work as they should. I used to have an after market stereo in there so the stock one is in now but not connected up. It works, but the headrest speakers will have to be reconnected to the assembly. 5 speed shifts well, no slipping. Title is clear, though I cant seem to find it but I have the registration. If title is needed I can get a duplicate.
Two other small problems are that the oil pressure gauge reads 0, but that is not the case. Probably needs a new sensor because I tried cleaning the wire. The trunk hydraulics that keep it open are going, so you need to hold the trunk open sometimes.
It has after market mufflers (duel) and a custom pipe from the cat back. It is not loud, but it is a nice low refined sound.
I was planning on having it fixed but am going to be moving out of state within a a year, so I do not have the money to fix it, and cant really take it with me. Looking for $2,000 obo. Any other questions just ask and I will try and answer. Thank You for looking.

25th Anniversary Edition Mazda MX-5 Miata sells out in 10 minutes

Wed, 21 May 2014

Looking to buy one of the limited-edition 25th Anniversary Mazda MX-5 Miata roadsters? Well, you're too late. According to Mazda, all 100 examples of the darling two-seater have sold out - and it only took 10 minutes.
On Tuesday, Mazda opened its pre-order site for the limited-run Miata, and had intended to keep the site running until May 31, or until 250 customers were registered, whichever came first. Just 10 minutes later, 250 people had signed up. Now, Mazda will contact those folks, and the first 100 that are verified will be given the opportunity to pre-order the unique MX-5. "Upon verification of purchase intent and transmission selection, the customer's information will then be forwarded to the dealership of their choosing to finalize the transaction," Mazda said in a press release.
The 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition models will arrive at dealers this summer, retailing for $32,205 with the six-speed manual, or $32,655 for those desiring the automatic transmission. Based on the PRHT (Power Retractable Hard Top) model, the limited-edition Miata adds Bilstein shocks, a Soul Red metallic paint job (the same found on the gorgeous Mazda6) with a contrasting black roof, gunmetal wheels and an off-white leather interior. Special badging will be found inside the car, and buyers will also be treated to a custom-crafted Tourneau watch and a display winder box.

Remember that diesel Mazda has been promising? It's coming in the CX-5

Wed, Nov 16 2016

Mazda has been talking about bringing a diesel to the US since the current Mazda 6 debuted. It's been delayed, delayed some more, and then seemingly forgotten, but now comes word that the diesel four-cylinder will arrive here in the second half of 2017. It's just coming in the CX-5 first, not the 6 sedan. The diesel in question is Mazda's Skyactiv-D 2.2-liter four, which makes 173 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque in other models. Putting it in a small crossover makes some sense, especially considering the recent announcement of a diesel Chevy Equinox. It's good news for choice and another sign that the diesel scandal brewhaha's effect on diesel decisions is blowing over. If it works in the CX-5, we may see this option spread throughout the Mazda lineup. Now if only someone could make a case for that rotary...

2019 Mazda Miata officially announced with 181 horsepower

Wed, Jun 20 2018

It turns out the rumors and leaks are true. The 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata will indeed get a slight performance increase. This fall, the car's naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four will make 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. That's a 26 horsepower and 3 pound-feet bump over the 2018 model. It may not sound like a lot on paper, but consider the fact that it's a nearly 17 percent increase in power in a car that weighs just 2,332 lbs. When the current ND generation debuted a few years back, the Miata actually took a slight hit to power. It was offset by a sizable weight loss program, but it didn't stop people from making a fuss. These days, it's not often that a newer model actually loses power compared to the outgoing car. The new car now makes roughly the same power as the old turbocharged Mazdaspeed MX-5 from 2004. Peak power for the 2019 model comes at 7,000 rpm while peak torque arrives at 4,000 rpm. That's 1,000 more and 600 fewer revs respectively. The Miata's redline is now 7,500 rpm, up from 6,800. It should make the car feel more lively through the rev range and should drop the car's 0-60 mph time back under 7 seconds. The 2019 model only weighs 7-pounds more than the outgoing model, so it's essentially a non-issue. In order to get the extra juice, Mazda engineers did some significant work to the engine's internals. Piston mass has been reduced 27 grams while the connecting rods are down 41 grams. The exhaust system and inner exhaust manifold have been modified to reduce pumping losses by 30 percent. The intake and fuel injectors have been changed, too. A new dual-mass flywheel replaces the single-mass unit. This should help better manage engine vibrations and responsiveness. Lastly, the final drive ratio has been increased from 3.454 to 3.583. Other gear ratios remain unchanged. There are other minor but welcome changes for 2019. The steering wheel now telescopes, a boon for drivers with long legs. The doors are easier to open and feature revised door stops. The cupholders and seat levers have both been updated. Finally, there are new 17-inch wheels and a new brown canvas soft top. How all these changes will affect the car remain to be seen. While many people have been clamoring for more power, some of us here at Autoblog feel the Miata may lose some of its current character with such a significant shift in power and torque. Either way, we're as excited as ever to get behind the wheel. Related Video:
