Up for auction my extremely clean 1993 mazda rx7. I have owned this car for about 2 years and it has been a joy. The turbos boost properly and car drives great. I put about 12,000 miles on it since I have owned it. New motor and turbos installed at 100k back in 1999 have the almost 10,000 dollar receipt to prove it. The mechanics of the car are unmolested-no aftermarket bolt ons. I do have a stainless steel HKS downpipe that goes with the car, just couldnt bring myself to install it. I did install some cosmetic add ons though. They include R1 lip spoiler, JDM Kouki tailights, JDM Nardi Torino Leather steering wheel, JDM center armrest pad which replaces the ashtray , JDM stainless steel kick plates, smoked front blinkers and rx8 18 inch rims with tires that have about 800 miles on them. Also put a glass sunroof in it from a 1994 which still has the black out panel insert that you can't find anymore. I have a delphi boost guage in steering column which matches factory guages perfectly. Laser cut plastic floor mats to protect the original ones. I upgraded the bose stereo system with new speakers and a clarion CX501 stereo with blue tooth. Bose wave tube still installed and functional. I still have the original rims with good tires I will let go with the car. I have changed the oil myself. Installed new spark plugs wires and fuel filter. I have also installed cross drilled rotors with ceramic pads front and rear. I beleive the car has had a repaint in its life because there is no clear pealing off-which is common in these. There is a weird spot on left front corner on roof that looks like sap had got on it. Have to get close to notice it but its there. I was also told I need rear pillow ball bushings it makes a kind of popping noise in rear while breaking. It looks like to me there is slight oil seep out of the right rear corner of the oil pan. I have a lift in my garage thats how I noticed this. Also the interior is in excellent shape but the drivers seat needs some attention. Feel free to ask any questions I am sure I left some stuff out. I believe I have a very reasonable reserve based on the mileage of the car. It's a very nice looking daily driver but not perfect.    500 dollar deposit in paypal upon auction close.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is truly a four-season sports car

Wed, Feb 10 2016

For all intents and purposes, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is a product of California. I know it says Hiroshima on the shipping container, but the car belongs to the Golden State as it was dreamt up in Irvine and honed its driving skills on the roads near Santa Barbara. And logic would dictate the Miata would be useless in any situation other than direct sunlight. That's what drivers from other states would think, anyway. It's the time of year when those of us from the west coast fly out to places where it's snowy and icy and everyone laughs at us because the cold and white stuff essentially shuts us down. Make fun of Californians driving in the rain or freaking out when the outside temperature dips below 55 degrees. What can we say, we're just out of our element. Perhaps, then, it's surprising the Miata handles snow a lot better than I do. I found this out when Mazda sent me to Crested Butte, CO, for a little fun on a frozen track. Yes, there was a lot of sideways action, but it had more to do with the two California residents inside than with the car. The company really invited journalists to Colorado to get an idea of how its all-wheel-drive crossovers perform when things get snowy and icy. But the real show was watching how we navigated the autocross course they set up for the rear-drive Miatas that Mazda brought along. The Miata had a good heater, but it was my laughter caused by immense admiration that kept me from freezing my fingers off. Armed with a set of Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires, the Miata performs just about how you'd expect it to – if you're light on the gas and quick with the steering and have a good amount of patience in you. It all works well if you're a pro driver, less so if you're not a frequent track visitor, regardless of the weather. But fortunately we were using the fourth-generation Miata, which has to be the most forgiving sports car ever. On pavement, it behaves like a compact hatchback. Put it in sixth and it's relaxed and compliant, with a ride that doesn't beat you up and an engine that knows when you just want to get where you need to go. Provoke it, however, and it rewards you with predictable responses from the controls. It does the same thing on ice, if you have a firm grasp on how a car responds to the frozen stuff. Starts are tricky, even in second gear, if you underestimate the power from the 2.0-liter four.

Mazda has no plans for an RX-9, despite ongoing rotary development

Wed, Dec 7 2016

We know Mazda is capable of making wonderful cars in any form or bodystyle. It also likes to tease enthusiasts with promising concepts like the stunning RX-Vision. In news that's sure to raise the ire of enthusiasts around the world, it seems the automaker has no plans to follow through with a production version of that beautiful, Soul Red coupe. In fact, it doesn't look like Mazda is interested in building any sports car that would slot above the Miata. In an interview with Automotive News, Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai responded with a simple "No" when asked if Mazda has plans for a larger sports car entry. Kogai was asked if Mazda has any plans for a production rotary. He said that the 1.5- and 2.0-liter engines in the Miata are more exhilarating. That's a debatable and subjective argument that thousands of rotary owners both past and present would likely disagree with. It's more likely that despite ongoing development of the Wankel, Mazda is still struggling to meet emissions standards. Despite the advantages of a rotary (high power-to-weight ratio, compact size, rev-happy nature), it's not very fuel efficient and struggles with emissions testing. Also, despite the prestige and attention a halo sports coupe could potentially bring, Mazda is a small, independent automaker that needs to focus on mass appeal. Creating an all-new design with a unique engine isn't cheap. Badging a non-rotary car as an RX would be sacrilege, so don't expect an RX anything anytime in the near future. Current RX owners should take a moment to lament. Their car probably needs another quart of oil anyway. Related Video:

Mazda Recalling Cars Due To Spider Webs In Engines

Sun, Apr 6 2014

It seems that Yellow Sac spiders really, really love Mazda. Three years after Mazda recalled 52,000 Mazda6 sedans over spider webs obstructing the evaporative canister vent lines of 2009 and 2010 Mazda6 models, another recall has been issued for 42,000 more of the models built between 2010 and 2012 and equipped with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. According to the automaker, there have been nine confirmed sightings of spiders in vent lines since the original recall. It seems that covers were applied at the factory to keep the arachnids from entering, but it hasn't quite exterminated the problem. A reflash of the ECU is required that "[changes] the logic behind how the car purges the charcoal canister during normal operation," says Jeremy Barnes, Director, Public Relations & Brand Experience at Mazda North American Operations. So far, Mazda has not recorded any fires, accidents or injuries due to this tangled mess of webs. Recall notices will be mailed out to owners later this month.
