1993 Mazda Rx-7 Touring Coupe 2-door 1.3l Twin Turbo Rotary on 2040-cars
Forsyth, Georgia, United States

This vehicle would make a great starting platform for someone looking to convert it for racing!
The car was purchased in 1994 by my brother (second owner) and has been in the family ever since. It is mostly stock (see below for exceptions) and has been kept in a garage or carport for most of the last 20 years. It is in very good physical condition for its age and mileage. The car has 120,654 miles on the frame. The engine has somewhere between 50K and 60K. The clutch has about 10,000 miles on it. As far as I know, the car has been in one accident in 2003; it was hit in the right front quarter. There are some minor body alignment issues on the right front corner with the bumper, hood, and headlight, but nothing excessive. There is also a small dent over the passenger door where it was hit by a falling tree branch. There is some paint oxidation on the roof and rear bumper that can probably be polished out. The hood and front bumper are in better shape because they were repainted after the accident. There are minor paint dings in a few places, the largest of which is on the driver's door where someone opened a car door into it. All of these issues should be visible from the photos. The interior of the car is in very good shape. There is some normal wear in the leather of the driver's seat as would be expected from the car's age. The carpet is clean and has been protected by floor mats for the life of the car. The car is equipped with the Bose Acoustic Wave sound system that was created especially for this model car. The subwoofer system in the rear needs an amplifier rebuild. See the photos for details on interior condition. About a year ago, the car was taken to our local Mazda dealer because it would not accelerate. By the time it had been moved a couple of times in the parking lot where it broke down and then put on a tow truck, it had flooded out. The dealer replaced the plugs, wires, and coils to get it started again. At that point, they started trying to troubleshoot the acceleration problem. They replaced the fuel pump with an aftermarket unit and apparently broke the fuel quantity sending unit in the process. The fuel gauge does not currently work, although the low fuel light still comes on at the proper time. The next thing the dealer tried was replacing the catalytic converters, which were supposedly clogged. They couldn't find suitable replacements, so they installed a performance steel downpipe. So the car is now straight-piped from the turbo outlet to the muffler. They spent a couple of months messing with it and could never get it to work. We sent it to a Mazda specialist in Atlanta who replaced the throttle position sensor and then the secondary fuel injectors and finally got the car running again. Less than two thousand miles later, the plastic coolant air separator tank split, causing the car to overheat and shut down just down the street from our driveway. We were able to restart the car after it cooled and move it into the driveway, where we replaced the air separator tank with an aluminum one and replaced the coolant. However, we have not been able to start the car since. It is badly flooded again and will drip oily fuel out the exhaust. We tried removing the plugs and cleaning them, draining the combustion chambers, and reassembling it, but no luck. The car will fire and sputter a little bit, but won't catch and start. Fixing it may be as simple as new plugs, or it may take some more drastic measures. I honestly don't know. We had to replace the car with something more reliable for my son to drive to school, so we are selling the car as-is. This car would be a great project purchase for someone more mechanically inclined than I am who can get it started, tuned up, and maybe converted for racing. It is lightning fast and a lot of fun to drive. In addition to the repairs and modifications above, most of the vacuum lines and check valves have been recently replaced and it has a new alternator and serpentine belt. Buyer will be responsible for taking delivery of the car or having it shipped to your location. It will require transport that can account for the fact that it cannot be started. Thanks for looking! I would love to see this car go to someone who will fix it up and really enjoy it to its full potential. My brother loved driving it, my son loved driving it, and I'm sure you will too! |

Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru expand global Takata recalls by 715k [UPDATE]
Fri, May 22 2015UPDATE: Subaru of America spokesperson Michael McHale tells Autoblog that the company is recalling 78,000 Imprezas from the 2004 and 2005 model years in the US. This is a national expansion of the company's previous regional recall for the Impreza. The Takata airbag inflator recall just keeps growing. The latest expansion encompasses 715,000 vehicles from Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru. Many of the affected models are in Japan. The largest expansion from these three automakers comes from Mitsubishi. According to Reuters, the company is adding 100,000 vehicles in Japan and 412,000 outside of the country without identifying any specific regions. Mazda is issuing safety campaigns for 112,000 vehicles in Japan, and some of these include models that the company produces there for Mitsubishi and Nissan, according to Reuters. In statement to Autoblog (embedded below), Mazda said that it is still evaluating the situation in terms of a possible effect on the US. Finally, Subaru is calling in 91,000 Imprezas in Japan. At this time, it isn't clear whether Mitsubishi's or Subaru's expansions affect the United States, but Autoblog has reached out to them for more information. According to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, exposure to moisture can cause the propellant in these inflators to ignite too quickly and cause these dangerous ruptures. Takata has also been investigating the problem. Related Video: Mazda statement "We are aware of the NHTSA/Takata announcement, and are evaluating the effects of it on Mazda. As soon as we have had a chance to fully evaluate the situation – number of vehicles affected, age of those vehicles, where they're located, etc. – we will be able to share those details."
2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo
Fri, Oct 27 2023The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time).

Will the Mazda2 be offered as a PHEV with a rotary engine range extender?
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.
Martin Benders, managing director of Mazda in Australia, spoke to Motoring about the company's future with hybrids and basically reiterated what the CEO said last year. The Japanese automaker only plans to offer electrified powertrains in places where they can sell in sufficient numbers to be profitable, like Japan.
Mazda has been playing with the rotary range-extender idea for years. In the RE prototype, the engine was exclusively used to charge the lithium-ion batteries when they were running low, and a 100-horsepower electric motor provided all of the propulsion. It gave the little hatch an estimated range of about 250 miles. The company reportedly took inspiration from its Skyactiv engines to make the Wankel have lower friction and a lighter weight.
