Non Running - Lots Of Parts on 2040-cars

Year:1987 Mileage:999999 Color: is rough looking with the clear coming off and was so far down the to do list to worry about

Grove, Oklahoma, United States

Grove, Oklahoma, United States

I am putting a 1987 RX7 TII up for sale as a project or for parts.  The car has a lot invested in it, but is no longer something I am interested in.  I can get car to start by putting a little fuel into the chamber and the tuning shop had it running off starting fluid - has spark and compression but no fuel.  Oil has been 

Non-original motor, rebuilt over a year ago, compression seems and has been stated to me as ok.   

New Parts: Walbro 255 fuel pump, Haltech Sprint RE programmable ECU, Clutch, Clutch Master and Slave cylinders, Resurfaced flywheel, Aeromotive 13129 Fuel pressure regulator and gauge, Motor mounts, Starter, Radiator, Remanufactured 550cc Fuel injectors.   

New Parts Internal: Apex, Side, and Corner Seals from Atkins.  Soft seals and O-rings.  Engine is complete, alternator only accessory hooked up, AC in box, smog pump gone, car does not have power steering (from factory I believe).

Extra Parts:
Spare 5 speed Turbo transmission - unknown condition
New passenger area carpet in box - black
NXS turbo timer
Spare stock Turbo - needs rebuilt
AC compressor - unhooked - unknown condition

Car had a suspension kit on it from Suspension Techniques when I bought it. 
 It was behind some guys house where it had sat for at least 3 years, the owner pulled the motor and sold it for scrap.  Replacement motor bought out of a parts car, checked vin was a 87 or 88 turbo 2.  Rebuilt using parts ordered through Atkins including new 2mm Apex seals.  Car was previously in Arizona, now Oklahoma, no rust issues.  Body fairly strait with peeling paint and a few dents (passenger headlight cover).

Car has been professionally fitted with a Haltech sprint RE - has not been tuned.  Shop also fabbed block off plates (OMP still attached though).  Rats nest still attached because I still have the hard fuel lines hooked up.

Lots of people say fuel issues and I choose not to believe them; so a quick list of things I have tried or corrected.  Had original low impedance injectors cleaned, wiped out bottom of tank, corrected fuel lines that were hooked up wrong, replaced fuel pressure regulator (fpr), replaced stock FPR replacement with Areomotive and made sure to get gauge, checked grounds, leads, fuses, and resistance on fuel injectors, bought high impedance fuel injectors.  Rechecked that injectors enabled in haltech.  Good pressure in the fuel rails and seems like injectors are getting ground signal that the haltech does.

Known faults:
No Fuel
Cracked front windshield
Driver seat poor to fair, passenger seat bad
Car has dents and the clear is peeling (exterior is rough looking with the clear coming off and was so far down the to do list to worry about, I make no promises about it except that I have been under it and around it plenty and haven't seen rust - flaking or holes)
Harness for gauge cluster needs rewiring (in passenger compartment even with gauges on the firewall)
guage cluster bezel broken
plastic pieces surrounding steering column missing
No carpet for hatch compartment
Tires hold air but are too small
Master cylinder for brakes needs replacing and brakes bled - E-brake only one working at the moment
Included odometer is a replacement and does not reflect actual miles which are unknown
Has some wires that need cleaning up, the hoses for the intercooler need replaced, and a small list of other things that I was saving till after I got it running.

I would be better off parting it out, but space and time are better reserved for other things right now.  I have tried to put 100% about the car on here but easier thought than done.  I will be happy to answer any questions about the car, but if I need to be with the car it will have to wait till the weekend.  Oklahoma Title clear and in my name.  Car is black tagged through next month - June 2014.  

The first three pictures are from this month, the others are 6 months or older.

Car is As-is, and all misc parts related to the car will go with it.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata has arrived

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The highly anticipated fourth-generation (ND) model made its official debut in Monterey, CA this evening, and while details are slim (as in, we have practically none), there's one big thing to talk about: less weight.
Yes, Mazda has confirmed that the new Miata sheds some 220 pounds over the model it replaces, and is "the most compact of any generation MX-5 so far." For those keeping track, that means the new MX-5 should weigh in somewhere around 2,200 pounds.
Mazda's Kodo design language is obvious here, with a seriously wide and low demeanor, and a mix of flowing lines and sharp angles. We don't have any powertrain details to report as of this writing, but Mazda says the full suite of Skyactiv technologies are onboard, and the motto in creating this car was "Innovate in order to preserve."

Graffiti artist Banksy turns Mazda Protege into warfare commentary

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

British street artist Banksy, who currently resides in New York City for its high pedestrian traffic and plentiful hiding spots, recently took his stencils and spray cans to a truck trailer and an old Mazda to make a commentary about war, according to a video report by Newsy.
Part of the canvas, a late-1990s Mazda Protege, is a sub-$3,000 used car at best, but we're sure having Banksy's art sprayed onto it has greatly increased its value, as it did to a piece at a Former Packard plant in Detroit a few years ago. The same goes for the trailer, which looks like it would be right at home attached to a U-Haul rental truck.
The graffito, painted in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was accompanied by a link to some disturbing audio from a controversial 2007 military video leaked by Wikileaks in 2010. Head on below to watch the video report, and be sure to visit Banksy's website if you want to see the painting with the audio (listener discretion advised).
