See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Extremely nice car inside and out. Two very minor dents, neither of which have chipped the original paint."

I am selling my 1993 Mazda RX7 that is in incredible shape. Pictures nor words will do this car justice. The chassis has ~100K miles and the body is 100% original with incredible original paint. The body has two very minor dings from a door or similar over the years but neither has chipped the paint. There is one spot about the size of golf ball on the rear bumper cover where the clear coat has faded (and only in this one spot). Interior is in perfect shape and everything works. Sound system is a Kenwood head unit with sub and amp. Very nice quality sound throughout the car. Absolutely nothing is flawed inside the car. All doors, deck and hood open and close easily and solidly. Not a spec of rust anywhere on the car. Bilstein shocks and lowering springs (done right) all the way around the car. Larger cross drilled and vented rotors with Mazda racing calipers at all four corners. Light weight SSR wheels all the way around with Yokohama rubber. The rear tires should be replaced as they are worn. (honestly, this car will spin the tires under moderate acceleration in 2nd gear, no burnouts have ever been done since I have owned the car).

Engine modified and rebuilt 13K miles ago with over $13K of receipts. Some of the modifications are as follows:

Apexi ECU and Power Commander Programmer (if you don't know what this is, you really need to check it out)
Greddy Profec Spec S electronic boost controller (set to 12 psi and easily capable of 17 psi without an effort) to control peak boost and ramp rate of the boost
Stock Twin Turbos upgraded to a single GT35R turbo
Greddy BOV
Greddy aluminum induction tube
Ported and polished throttle body
Street ported rotor housings
Ported and polished oil passages
Large Nippondenso injectors
All vacuum lines replaced / minimized
Twin oil coolers
Huge air to air inter-cooler
HKS ignition
Racing Beat Exhaust
4.30:1 gears

Enough of the parts info.... Here is what you really want to know: This thing is ridiculously fast. This is NOT a car for a kid or even a young adult. I've drag raced in the NMRA for years and this street car has more rolling power and acceleration than my 10.31 second Mustang. The kicker is this car handles like a road course car. It was actually built and owned by the previous local president of the RX7 club who also had his own rotary performance distribution store. This car was his show car but was built to run and not just shine. The car pumps 420hp to the tires as it is right now. Turn up the boost and it is just plain uncontrollable and dangerous. It is the most fun car I have EVER owned and I don't really want to sell it but I know I will either kill myself in the car or get my license taken away so I am trying to do the responsible thing and sell the car before its too late (one way or another).

The absolute only things wrong with the car is a very tiny chip in the windshield and it has the typical 5th gear grind when engaging 5th gear (however 5th is only used at 70+ and there is no hesitation, just a small grind the second it is going in)

Everywhere I go, this car gets a ton of attention. Non-stop compliments are a given. Embarrassing Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros and even motorcycles at will is a given as well. This car has a slightly better power to weight ratio as a crotch rocket bike. The ONLY challenge is getting the tires to stay planted. It was not a cliche' when I said it will light up the tires at the top of 2nd when the boost is at full bore.

Now for the rules:

This car is my pride and joy, I welcome anyone to come look at the car but no one will be allowed to drive the car until cash in hand.

Local pick up only.

The car CAN be driven anywhere, it does not get hot.

I will not ship the car but I will help you get the car picked up if you do the shipping logistics details.

$500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal at the time of auction end, pick up and full payment CASH within 7 days.

Please do not waste my time if you can't afford the car.

Please call me for additional details @ 317.379.1749

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Electric Miata smokes Tesla Model S at the track

Wed, Jul 9 2014

Yes, folks, you read that headline right. A souped up battery-electric version of a Mazda Miata took down a Tesla Model S on a quarter-mile drag strip. And it wasn't even close. Road Test TV was kind enough to post a video of a forest-green Miata (and its very stoked driver) doing a quarter-mile run in a rather brisk 9.27 seconds, beating the Model S sedan by a whopping 3.5 seconds in the process. And the Mazda crossed the finish line moving at 142 miles per hour, or 40 miles per hour faster than the Tesla was going when it finished the race. It's a good thing for the Tesla owner that they weren't racing for pink slips. Granted, the comparison is probably an unfair one because the Tesla was a stock, production vehicle (the P85 Performance model, but still), whereas who knows how the Miata was juiced up and how much cash it took to do the job. It's sort of like putting, say, an automotive writer against Usain Bolt because we ate the same breakfast and share 99 percent of our DNA. Still, the video does lend a certain credence to the idea that a battery-electric, super-light, rear-wheel-drive Miata would be a lot of fun, or at least a heck of lot more fun than any other Mazda out there. We're just sayin'. Check out the 100-second video below, and remember not to blink. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe

Tue, Mar 8 2016

This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:
