1991 Mazda Rx-7 Convertible Convertible 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars

Year:1991 Mileage:98000 Color: is faded and peeling on both doors
Location:

Up for sale is my Wifes 91 RX-7.

Mileage is around 98k. 

Bought this one last year for my wife, fixed it up a little but she's moving on to a different car this year and I have too many other toys, so time to make room in the garage.

Here's the story with the car. Bought this from a old lady in NJ last year who owned the car for about 12 years and put on about 9k in mileage for the 12 years she owned it. She basically used it for a summer car as she is a realtor and took it out when she went to property showings in the summer time.

Reason she sold it was that her husband bought her a white one with lower mileage. This car was neglected for about 2-3 years due to the fact that she now had the newer white one in her garage and this one was parked outside to be exposed to the elements.

I have added pictures of when I bought the car from her. It's pretty much in the same shape with a ton of cleaning done and a few upgraded listed below.

Top is ripped on both sides, not severely, but it will need a new top at some point. The pictures of how the top is ripped is about the same on both sides.

Paint on exterior is faded and peeling on both doors. This is due to the car being outside in the summer time from the previous owner.

Little fender bender and home fix on the drivers side rear where the bumper is mounted to the rear quarter. It can be fixed at the body shop and does not require any welding. (bought it this way)

I've done two oil changed since I bought it. One when I got the car home and another when the car was about 1,000 mile into the oil change.

Spark plugs and wires (NGK) were replaced last year spring when I gave the car a small tune up.

TII Hood was painted with rattle can paint, and it needs some body work to get in line, so this is not a perfect hood, the scoop fin is in great condition with no stress cracks on the fiberglass.

Suspension has been upgraded to Tokico blues on Racing Beat Dropping Springs all the way around. This is brand new from last year spring and has less than 3k miles on the suspension.

Tires in the rear are brand new and basically been driven on for about 2000 miles as that is all we drove it last year summer...Front tires have about 85% tread left on it. so they are semi brand new also..

Stock mufflers and Y pipe have been scrapped. I have upgraded to a Racing Beat Cat back. The 5th and 6 port actuators are still working and all the OEM catalytic converters are still on the car and in good condition.

Interior is in decent shape, no big damages, The leather seats have some cracks and there is a split separation on the driver side seat. Overall I'd give the seats a 7 out of 10. I have seen worse as this is not my first convertible.

I do have the original radio with OEM CD player for the car and it will come with it. I upgraded to something that has Aux in and USB for comfort...

Power antenna will need to be replaced. I have the replacement OEM used antenna to come with the car.

The TII hood will come with the car and the original aluminum hood also. Buyer's responsibility to transport the spare hood.

Air filter was replaced last year spring also.

BBS wheels come with the OEM Key for the center caps.

No idiot lights on the car, everything works and runs as it should. Heat, Defrosters, AC even works. Car passed NYS safety inspection without any issues.

Engine bay is bone stock with NO modifications whatsoever which is the way I wanted to keep it for my wife.

Clutch will need to be bled. It's not mandatory... but It needs to be done, feels a little too squishy for my taste and I've driven too many rx-7's already to know what they should feel like.

 There is a clear NY title under my name with NO liens.

Mazda delays US launch of Skyactiv-D engine

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

Japanese automakers haven't lead the charge towards diesel power in the same way as, say, the Germans have. But Mazda is out to change that. It has been following Audi's lead on the racetrack with oil-burning racecars right here in America, and will soon translate that excitement to the road by introducing its Skyactiv-D engine in North America. It just won't happen as soon as we expected.
Mazda announced today that, while its diesel engine meets current emissions requirements, the company has decided once again to push back an introduction originally slated to kick off in the Spring. According to the brief statement below, Mazda wants to take more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance."
In other words, the Zoom-Zoom brand apparently thinks its diesel engine doesn't deliver the zoom-zoom American drivers would expect, so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Details to follow closer to launch, whenever that will ultimately take place.

Red Bull RX-7 goes drift crazy on New Zealand's Crown Range

Tue, 07 May 2013

For the first time ever, the Crown Range, New Zealand's highest paved road, was closed off for the drifting pleasure of one man. That man is Mad Mike Whiddett, and the machine he's piloting is a heavily modified Mazda RX-7 sponsored by the energy-rich crew from Red Bull and powered by a 750-horsepower quad-rotor engine. There will be smoke. Lots and lots of smoke.
Mad Mike hits speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour over the course of the road's six and a half miles, which boasts 47 individual corners at over 3,500 feet of elevation. Scroll down for all kinds of fire-belching, tire-squealing and smoke-inducing action. Or, as Mad Mike himself puts it, "A dream turned into reality."
