1984 Mazda RX-7 GS When you think of 80s Performance Imports what comes to mind ? This car is at the top of the list and in case you havent noticed they are getting much harder to find, esp this nice and this original ! Up for auction a nice clean unmolested First GEN RX7 the car that changed the look for Mazda for people to take notice and say "yeah, I could drive that !!" this is a 1 owner car, was originally bought new outta Santa Cruz CA and owned by an older woman since day 1. Been well kept and maintained its whole life and what Id call a nice unmolested survivor. Soon after it left CA it came to AZ where its was garage kept most of its life. Typical Az sun damage and zero rust on the body or floors, RX7s like this are getting harder to find these days. Most of the paint looks original, if it had any spot jobs its hard to tell. Some areas are more faded then others. For a daily driver its fine, but if you want a restored car, obviously youll want to paint it. There is no bondo or previous damage we know of on the car or signs of accidents. Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and GREAT FEEDBACK. Ive been driving the car around now for the last week almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs great every time and is a blast to drive. Had receipts from original owner showing all the oil changes and repairs it needed since 84. Nice history tracked over its whole life. Car even comes with the original window sticker and misc pamphlets given to the owner when new. DRIVETRAIN: Original 12A Rotory runs great with plenty of power in every gear. ALL stock - un molested just the way Mazda built it. Whenever something broke or wore out it was repaired and kept on the road. Under the hood looks almost like when it was new. Mild oil leaks under the car but they are small. Shocks do feel a little worn out and soft but the brakes and rest of the car feel better then a car this old. Not sure where its suppose to idle out, but to me it idles a little lower then normal, but mostly when its cold. Plugs, cap and rotor are new. Fires up fine whether its hot or cold. Power of the little rotary motor is just like it should be and transmission feels great. Cruise control not working due to a broken vacuum nipple off the canister under the hood. Runs great, the gas in the tank may be 6m old from not being driven much lately, so I think once whats in there is run out and fresh 91 is put in it, it will only run even better. INTERIOR: Doesnt look like a car that is almost 30 yrs old thanks to being in the garage most of its life. Check out the Pics, which show how nice the car still is. Its always been taken care of and kept clean and shows little wear. The worst spot, the dr side door panel by the window which would be a really easy fix if you wanted to. The top of the passenger side door panel is also showing its age. Sunroof I think may even be a pop out, not sure. Everything works best I can tell inside the car. Even the original factory stereo etc works well and the dash was never cut up or trashed. Glass is all great around, may be one chip in the windshield. AC all connected and worked last summer, but now it is blowing warm not cold. SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rims Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you looked hard. Steering feels a little vague, may be some worn parts up front, no surprise. Im sure the shocks are old, the ride is a little mushy and bouncy. Tires decent, and should get you by for another yr. The great thing about taking apart a rust free car like this when it comes time to work on it, you have less hassles with broken bolts etc making the future repairs and maintenance that much easier. Brake feel great too. BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings. The 2 worst spots : LF Fender and RR wheel well (see pics) Trunk struts work well, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy car to restore back to original. Honestly, if you buffed the paint out and just drove it you could keep the car still 100% original and in most cases thats way better then just tossing new paint on a car to be pretty.

Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced
Fri, 04 Jan 2013Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.
Jay Leno celebrates Mazda Miata's 25th birthday
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Ask a car enthusiast what the best driver's car on the road is, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata is very likely to come up rather quickly. Unjustly saddled with a reputation as a "chick's car," the Miata has been, over its three generations, one of the finest driving instruments ever built - it's light, agile and rear-wheel drive with direct, snappy steering, an engine that revels in being revved and a precise, smooth-shifting transmission. The fact that it's ridiculously affordable and reliable is simply a bonus.
It should come as no surprise then, that a car with these traits has endured for 25 years, a milestone reached only by some of the most famous nameplates in the auto industry - Corvette, Mustang, F-150, SL, M3 and so on. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Jay Leno spent some time with the little roadster that could, while also chatting with two of the Mazda employees that were central to the MX-5's arrival on the world's automotive scene, Bob Hall and Tom Matano.
Take a look below for the latest video from Jay Leno's Garage on the excellent Mazda MX-5 Miata.
First 2014 Mazda3 ad appears
Sat, 29 Jun 2013If we judge by your comments on our recent announcement post about the new Mazad3, you Autoblog readers approve, pretty wholeheartedly, about the redesign efforts happening over at Mazda. Pressed for an opinion, we'd be forced to admit that we find the new 3 quite fetching our own selves.
To add fuel to the fast-burning fire then, Mazda has gone ahead and dropped a 15-second pseudo commercial on YouTube, showing a very rendered Mazda3 in a very rendered driving environment. The short spot is really just slightly more dynamic than the images of the car, but there is a spot of mystery to it, as well.
Right at the start of the video, an interior shot of the car shows a transparent display screen of some kind, rising from the top of the 3's dash. An interesting choice, considering Mazda has bestowed an actual center-mounted display in on the hatchback's dash-top - albeit one that doesn't look like a clear piece of glass. Take a look below, and while you're there, check out a just-released official video of the Mazda3's reveal in New York.
