I originally bought this 93 RX7 in October of 2012 with the intention of working on it over time to turn it into a track car, but as life would have it I have had little free time and haven’t touched it since I bought the car.

I bought the car from its previous owner in Northern California with a 120k on the chassis and (an unconfirmed) 50k on the powertrain. I test drove the car and found that it drove well and looked nice in person so I bought it and had it shipped to Phoenix, Arizona (where I live and where the car is located now). Since the shipping company dropped off the car it wasnt running, but it turned out to be a loose ground on the starter motor which has since been fixed. I have not driven the car in over a year, but it starts up and settles down into a nice idle after a minute or so.

I am not sure what engine swap kit was used or what donor car the LS1 was harvested from. The car has a clean car fax with no accidents.

Here is a list of known issues:

1. The body is in overall good condition, but there are paint chips along both front fenderwells (see pictuers), as well as a couple poorly repaired scratches on the driver’s side fender. Also, the driver’s side headlight cover is a different shade of red than the rest of the car. Driver's side exterior door handle doesn't open the door when it is locked, which is a well known issue with the FD chassis RX7. Also, fuel door sometimes sticks.

2. Electrical: this is the one area where I think the car needs the most attention. Just from looking under the dash, the wiring isn’t labeled and the connections were done with taps and splices. The car would really benefit from a new harness (as can be purchased from Jordan Innovations). The car currently has no radio or A/C. During my test drive, the speedo was not working as car needs dakota digital signal converter.

3. The interior panels are in good condition. The original seats are not included; instead there are momo seats and steering wheel, as well as a roll bar which has been bolted in. I have the interior panels stored and bagged, and these will be included with the car (I removed these interior panels to inspect the condition of the body of the car).

4. Suspension: car is on D-1 drift spec coilovers with no apparent issues

5. Wheels/tires: XXR 527’s are brand new, tires are Falken RT-615’s with >50% treadlife left

6. The car currently is running, but hasn't been driven in over a year.

My honest estimation is that with some attention to the electrical system and TLC to the details, this car can be a very nice LS swapped RX7. I am not in a rush to sell nor do I need to sell, but it makes little sense to hold on to the car when it is just gathering dust.

Please note the following:
-I will not be replying to any offers of cars in trade; I am looking only for an outright sale.
-I have the clear title in hand. I will sign title over to the new owner once car is paid for in full.
-Buyers who have demonstrated the ability to afford the car through a cash statement or pre-qualified loan letter are welcome to inspect the car in person in Phoenix, AZ.
-Buyer to arrange and pay for the cost of shipping.

Mazda2 with extended-range hybrid rotary tech shown

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

Every story dealing with a new rotary engine from Mazda lands in a different place on the matrix of possibilities between "Coming soon!" and "Never gonna happen!" In 2011 it was speculated that the rotary engineering program would be shut down with the demise of the RX-8, in 2012 the program was still alive and taking lessons from the SkyActiv engines, in August 2013 a Mazda insider said a rotary engine called 16X would be here in two years, in November the CEO said the only way we'd ever get a new rotary is if Mazda could sell 100,000 of them per year. Meaning that, for the moment, you can forget about it.
And yet, last month Mazda was putting journalists in a Mazda2 RE Range Extender, an electric car using a 0.33-liter rotary to power its lithium-ion batteries when the charge runs down. With a 75-kilowatt, 100-horsepower electric motor turning the front wheels, the Wankel generator and its 2.6-gallon gas tank living under the trunk double the range of the electric-only Mazda2 to 250 miles.
There's been talk of using a rotary to assist an alt-fuel vehicle for at least seven years, with Mazda pairing an electric motor with a rotary that ran on gas and hydrogen in a Mazda5 in 2007. Since then, almost all of those stories debating its return or demise also spoke of the oddball motor's advantages, such as compact size and ability to run on various fuels, as an aid in an unconventional powertrain.

Fiat version of Mazda MX-5 Miata to be called 124 Spider

Fri, Mar 6 2015

Fiat has a definite use for its recent US trademark on the 124 Spider name, and it's something that should make many performance fans quite happy. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed to Auto Express that the Italian brand's future roadster would bear the classic name. Auto Express reportedly asked Marchionne directly about the convertible at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The CEO said: "Do we want to do it now?" After another executive verified the name, Marchionne responded: "There you go – a world class premiere right in this room!" Autoblog reached out to Fiat Brand communications boss in the US Ariel Gavilan for more information, and he verified the story. Gavilan said that brand head Olivier Francois confirmed the 124 Spider name to international media during a briefing in Geneva. FCA isn't going quite so far as officially confirming that the 124 Spider shares a platform with the latest Mazda MX-5 Miata, but that's almost a certainty. The two automakers jointly developed the chassis, and the original plan was for it to underpin an Alfa Romeo. However, Marchionne didn't want an Alfa assembled outside of Italy. Fiat even hinted at this possible change as far back as the corporation's five-year plan last summer. Insiders tell Auto Express that the 124 Spider reportedly carries retro-inspired style, and hopefully, that means the roadster evokes the look of the original 124 Sport Spider (pictured above) by Pininfarina. Fiat allegedly is also aiming for a weight less than 2,205 pounds, and the engine range is likely comprised of versions of the brand's 1.4-liter turbo. The mill already pumps out 160 horsepower and 183 pound-feet of torque in the Fiat 500 Abarth in the US. According to Auto Express, Fiat and Mazda have an agreement to launch the Miata in 2015 and the 124 Spider in 2016. A hotter Abarth version could come along eventually, too. Related Video:
