I bought this car for my mid life crisis car to replace the 1993 Rx7 I had back when they were new.  

This car  is fun to drive but my being older means it kills my back getting in and out of the car and I can't get comfortable, so I will stick to my antique cars for my mid life crisis instead .  Some things just are not as much fun the second time around ( like marrying your ex wife again ) and put this up for sale.

1993 Mazda Rx7.

In the past year the following have been done;

1. tune up- new platinum plugs, new wires, new coil packs
2. New front and rear cross drilled and slotted brake rotors and pads
3. New Optima battery relocated to the bin behind the driver's seat
4. New aluminum race quality heavy duty radiator + twin fans
5. New aluminum race quality large turbo intercooler
6. New silicone cooling and vacuum hoses
7. New aluminum race quality coolant air tank
8. New APEXi air intake system
9. complete flush and fill of all lubricants and replacing with synthetic fluids
10. New 145 degree thermostat and gasket and water pump
11. New belts
12.  New rear strut bar
13.  New struts
14. New turn signal / drive lamp assemblies


The following need attention:
1. Fuel filler door pops open ( have it temporarily stuck closed so it doesn't open when driving ) and it works as is but it is not a permanent fix
2. Prior owner was in the middle of changing the interior from tan to black, so the carpets,headliner , and back bins are still tan ( which you can leave or change to black to match the rest if you like ). I just left it since
    it didn't bother me.
3. Odometer just blinked out 2 weeks ago, was at approx. 85,500 - I just bought a replacement dash cluster with a working odo if you want to replace it- it is included
4. black plastic on some inside surfaces such as doors and console needs to be refinished, covered or painted-
5. there are some very minor parking lot dings on the body ( see pictures )

Prior owner did the following.
1. new sound system with amp, head, speakers etc
2. 17 inch rims with matched set of ZR rated Cooper tires - still at least 50 % left
3. they tinted the windows which helps here in Florida
4. upgraded tail light assemblies
5. front air splitter
6. a pillar gauges


Since this is now a 21 year old used car, it is sold as is, where is, with no warranties.  Wow, 21 years - now I feel even older.  Email if you want to see or drive the car

Updated Mazda3 hits US roads this year

Thu, Jul 14 2016

Mazda released an updated variant of its Mazda3 that will go on sale in Japan today and later this year in the US. The compact vehicle benefits from Mazda's G-Vectoring Control (GVC) that provides integrated control of the vehicle's engine, chassis, transmission, and body. The result, from our own experience, results in a car that's more enjoyable to drive. GVC is the first feature in a series of new Skyactiv Vehicle Dynamics technologies. Mazda is developing them to provide drivers with greater feel and a more enjoyable experience. "Mazda is striving to become an irreplaceable presence in the lives of our customers, to create a special bond with them and to be a 'one-and-only' brand they will chose again and again," Mazda's CEO Masamichi Kogai said in a statement. Other than the new feature, the 2017 Mazda3 goes mostly unchanged with the front end gaining slimmer turn signals and fog lights. The current-gen lineup, claims Mazda, is centered around Jinba Ittai – a term the automaker uses to signify oneness between car and driver – that started with the launch of the Mazda CX-5. The updated Mazda3 will go on sale later this year in the US, but the automaker did not announce an official date.

2014 Mazda3 Sedan

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

We're not going to beat around the bush: for the kind of person who willfully chooses to take longer, windier and more scenic routes to get to Point B, the 2014 Mazda3 is the new compact car measuring stick by which others will be judged. That doesn't, of course, make it the right choice for every buyer.
We'll spend the next thousand words or so explaining the whys and hows that make our opening statement a fact, but for now, suffice it to say that Mazda has engineered its latest crop of vehicles - namely the CX-5, Mazda6 and its smaller sibling and subject of this test, the Mazda3 - from the ground up. Absolutely everything about the Mazda3 is refined for 2014, from its chassis to its engines and everything in between, and it was done in a completely new and holistic way. Every component, subcomponent and stamping required to bolt and weld together an automobile was rethought to ensure the Mazda3 has what it takes to compete with such established benchmarks as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus.

Evo blasts around in a Spa 24H-winning Mazda RX-7

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Think 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.
