 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.

Buy a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, get a free day of driving school

Fri, Aug 19 2016

We know the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Fiat 124 Spider are basically the same car underneath. As we pointed out in our first drive of the 124 Spider, the two cater to different drivers, so it can be tough to choose a favorite. FCA has made deciding between the two sports cars a little harder, as it will offer Abarth owners a free day of high-performance driving instruction with their cars. Anyone buying or leasing a new Fiat 124 Spider Abarth or a Fiat 500 Abarth will get a free, one-day class at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix. Bundling driving school with brand-new performance cars isn't unheard of – Dodge and Bondurant recently announced a similar program for the Viper – but it is quite rare for vehicles priced below $30,000. The free session will include instructor-led skid, autocross, slalom, and team rally cross activities, in addition to hot laps. While the one-day course is included for free, travel, food, and hotel expenses aren't covered. Fiat-less people can also join in on the fun buy purchasing the Abarth experience separately. Bondurant one-day classes cost at least a grand, which makes the Fiat price of $0 a good deal as long as you can get yourself there relatively cheaply. But is this enough for drivers to choose the 124 Spider Abarth over an MX-5 Club? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2020 Mazda3 gets five-star overall rating from NHTSA

Mon, Mar 2 2020

Mazda is adding another figurative piece of silverware for its heralded Mazda3, this time in the form of a five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The designation applies to both the hatchback and four-door sedan, and front- or all-wheel-drive versions. Mazda’s entry-level compact, which underwent a dramatic redesign for 2019, notched five-star ratings across the board: frontal crash, side crash and rollover crash tests. The Mazda3 has also been named Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, with top scores on all crash tests and ease of use of the LATCH child-seat system, but an acceptable rating for its headlights as the only slight ding. Mazda opted to make its i-Activsense safety technology system standard on the 3 for 2020. It covers NHTSAÂ’s recommendations of having forward collision warning, lane departure warning, crash imminent braking and dynamic brake support, and it adds features like blind-spot monitoring, driver attention alert, automatic on-off LED headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The fourth-generation car also got a stiffer body with a 10-fold increase in high-strength steel and a revamped suspension. Mazda sold 50,741 examples of the Mazda3 last year, which made it the automakerÂ’s No. 2 nameplate, though well behind the CX-5, which moved 154,545 units. Sales in January were off 45.7% from the prior year, when the new version wasnÂ’t yet on sale, suggesting that despite its distinctive looks and accolades from the motoring press, the Mazda3 is fighting an uphill battle against crossover-dom.

Miata driver pulls off hilariously diabolical move in fender-to-fender racing

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Racing is all about finding the little advantages over competitors that allow you to get ahead. Sometimes those are legitimate means - like being able to take advantage of a better line through a corner - and other times drivers get a little more creative for a leg up over opponents. Sometimes things might even go a little too far. Case in point: just watch the opening of this Mazda MX-5 Cup race from Silverstone in the UK.
According to the YouTube description, we're riding with James Rogers in this video, and he appears to be pretty talented behind the wheel. Rogers has a great start from fifth that has him in third within just a few corners. He starts stalking the top two drivers, who are already having a fantastic race themselves, but then we see that the person in second is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to win. Just watch the video, and you'll see what we mean. Bravo (?) to that racer for some very quick, albeit fiendish, thinking.
