Up for sell is my long time owned Mazda RX-7. I have 6 going for my 7 year of owning this car. This is my first car and my dream car and i wished to kept it for as long a i could but the time has come in my life where more important things need to be done. Im selling this car to buy a house so i hope i can find a buyer who will understand this car and take care of it and love it as much as i have and hope this sacrifice is worth it and could help each other out, with that ill tell you everything about this car that i know and that it has. Im not going to mention prices of whats cost me of doing those things or how much ive invested in the car becuase i just know we all do it for the love of your car and never expect to get it back if you ever sold it. Remember this is a 20 year old car and it is strictly being sold AS IS but im hoping chances are that if your interested in this car you most likely know something about this car and how much it takes to own one so here goes...
Ive tried to keep the car as original as possible, it starts up everytime without problems. The motor is all stock, never went over 3000 miles changed the oil everytime, never has overheated or left me stranded. Ived kept this car mostly on my house with a car cover most of the time and riding it from time to time never not really a daily driver mostly for ocassions only. The body of the car is absolutely straight, no dents or dings or been in a accident. The interior of the car is complete! theres nothing missing or needs to be replaced. It comes with the Original bose system for the RX7 but it needs to be installed (never installed it) and you have to change the cargo lid if you do but its your choice.
Since i bought the car these are the things i have done to it and most recent what the car has on it:
- Lamborghini Red Paint ( About a year and a half old)
- 99 Khouki spoiler
- Side skirts (forgot brand)
- Back skirts mud flaps
- Yellow OEM RX7 Fog Lights
- Original RX7 chrome rims
- Door step skirts (Hard to find)
- Suede Seats
- Custom Cluster Gauge
- 4 Inch HKS High Performance Exhaust (Beautiful Deep Noise)
- Car Alarm
Ok so now its time for the bad things or stuff that needs to be fixed or just to know if you wish to fix or change it:
The car as of right now has NO BOOST. The wastegate of the car needs to be fixed. Its open and i believe is stuck open since you can hear it (my mechanic told me this) since the wastegate is open the air just keeps going out so no boost is builded.I been riding the car for 2 years like that with no problems, no joke, so i dont have any idea of the condition of the turbos but i dont think they shouldnt have anything wrong since they were working fine before that happened but i wish to mention that so in case that dosent fix the boost you might have to give it a diagnose check and see if the turbos are ok.
Theres oil on the bottom of the car thats dirty but the car DOES NOT drop or leek oil its been building up for years that the little bit of oil probably escapes from the seal from time to time. RX7's are known for their oil and how much it uses and burns it. I check it once a week and it hardly reduces oil when i use the car and never goes down when i just have it sitting but you do have to check it once a week becuase its random of how much oil it burns and you never know when you need to add a little bit. Honestly another thing im ganna mention is that i havent check the oil seals in a while so you should probably want to if you feel you need to.
The car runs rich on gas and maybe becuase of the problem with the wastegate perhaps, the car backfires, mostly when you just turn it on and its cold but sometimes from time to time when running.
The suspension is old! i got this car with the same suspensions it has on right now and havent been able to changed it (It hasnt been a problem for me but maybe i got used to it?) its really stiff and not much shock strenght left on it, the car is low (but not too low) so carefull with those bumps!
Ofcourse because of the HKS exhaust the car will NOT pass the smog check, so you know what that means. Please dont tell me i didnt mention this.
The drivers side miror wires needs to be connected again so you can move the miror with the control again.I had to change and buy a new one becuase the old one was broken from the base.
When you make a turn (mostly left turns) the cd players goes off then comes back on, i guess over time the wire or something got loose so needs to be checked. (been too lazy to do that)
Missing the spare tire.
Thats everything i can think of. Thats all the good and bad things it has but honestly it cost money, commitment and time to take care of this car and keep it looking and performing the way it should honestly. Once again this car is 20 years old.
I HOLD THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION IF I SELL THE CAR LOCALLY. CHANCES OF THAT IS LOW BUT I STILL WISH TO KEEP IT, MY APOLOGIES.
Wining buyer is fully responsible for pick up or shipping of this vehicle, i will help all i can from my part if you need something i can do but i will not be the one shipping the car to you or anything.
FOR PAYMENT I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL, BANK TRANSFER OR CASH ONLY!
thank you very much for your interest and for reading all this. I highly appreciate it. Well ill cross my fingers and good luck to everyone.

Evo blasts around in a Spa 24H-winning Mazda RX-7
Mon, Jul 20 2015Think of the Mazda RX-7 today, and your thoughts likely turn to the turbocharged third-generation version of the '90s that's an icon among the tuning and drifting communities. Many years before that swoopy coupe was hanging the tail out, the first model of RX-7 was also quite a track star, though. Evo's Richard Meaden has gotten ahold of a race-prepped version that counts a victory in the 1981 Spa 24 Hours to its name – the first Japanese car to claim that honor – for a fantastic video. With 225 horsepower and weighing around 1,984 pounds, this RX-7 doesn't look like a giant killer on paper. However as Meaden illustrates, the coupe puts those rotary-powered ponies to very good use. Driving it requires constantly keeping things on the boil because the muscle is essentially absent below 7,000 rpm. Once in the sweet spot, things start progressing quickly, though. As a wonderful cap to the wall of noise from the engine, little licks of flame also shoot out of the exhaust on downshifts. Thankfully, Evo's video team captures all of the mechanical noises quite well, and the clip is a treat for those with a good pair of headphones. Despite the race-winning pedigree, Meaden has no problem grabbing the little coupe by the scruff of the neck. He chucks it through the corners to get the tail loose, and the little wisps of smoke from the rear tires prove the original RX-7 knows how to drift too. These early cars definitely worth being remembered in the pantheon of Mazda performance.
Japan plans real-world diesel emissions test after companies fail
Fri, Mar 4 2016Japan's transport ministry plans to start real-world diesel emissions tests after an experiment found four models from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi that produced more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than the nation's rules allow, according to The Japan Times. Regulators there usually only perform emissions checks in the lab. The VW diesel scandal has everyone double-checking their figures. Diesel versions of the Toyota Hiace van, Land Cruiser Prado, and Nissan X-Trail produced up to 10 times more NOx than allowed. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 was up to five times over the limit, The Wall Street Journal reports. There was no evidence of defeat devices in the vehicles. Mazda performed well in the experiment, though. The CX-5 passed with nearly the same results on the road and in the lab. The Demio, better known as the Mazda2, did nearly as well with only slighter higher figures in the real world than in the controlled setting. The experimenters theorized the reason for the excessive emissions was that cold weather caused the engines' software to shut off the exhaust gas recirculation to prevent damage, according to the WSJ. However, this behavior also increased NOx production. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi don't have to worry about punishment from the transport ministry because this check was just an experiment. Their models already passed the mandated lab tests, which was the only requirement, according to The Japan Times. As governments begin greater real-world emissions tests, the results suggests diesels aren't very clean. A recent check in France found models from Ford, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz that didn't perform up to the standards. Regulators in India conducted similar evaluations and ordered VW to recall over 300,000 vehicles. Related Video:
