Here is my 1979 Mazda RX-7. This is a collectors car since it was the first year it was made. The value will only go up over the years. It has the 12A Rotary Engine and 5 speed transmission. It was built buy an old racer guy a few years ago to race in a local rally car event but he never raced it. It has a roll cage in it and it sounds really mean.
Here are all the modifications that have been done to it. If you don't know what they are please google them and they'll come right up.
-Upgraded to the 1985 5 speed transmission
-Nikki Carburetor stripped (all the solenoids and diaphragms removed)
-Upgraded Intake manifold ported and polished
-Upgraded to the 1985 distributor with CDI electronic ignition (eliminated the points setup)
-2.5" Custom Exhaust from motor to tail pipe. It's pretty loud and raspy
-6 point roll cage
-OMP Eliminated (which means you have to PREMIX GAS but it's safer and better and not a lot 100:1)
-Rat's Nest Removed
-Fuel Regulator
-Rally Lights
-Hood Pins
-Fire Extinguisher
Other things that have been done recently:
-Fresh Oil
-Fresh Coolant
-New Spark Plugs
-New Cap and Rotor
-New Spark Plug Wires
-New Battery
-New Alternator
-New Fuel Filter
It has more power than stock and sounds really mean because of the modifications. The only draw back to the mods is that it's a little hard to start when it's cold out but after its running for a minute it purrs and runs perfect. It shifts through all 5 gears and reverse great, the clutch feels great with lots of grab. Everything works including the pop up headlights, hatch release, rear defrost, windows, signals, horn, lights, It has a pop-up moon roof that is removable too. This is a quick,light, nimble fun little car to drive.
The interior is in very good shape. There's one rip in the driver seat and that's it. The body is in good shape too. It has a couple small bumps and bruises but nothing major. All the glass is in good shape. It's very nice and clean for it's age. I don't see any rust anywhere. If you want me to take pictures of a particular area please email me.
It has 53K miles on the speedo and I'm told those are original miles.

2020 Toyota Yaris hatchback is basically the Mazda2 hatchback
Mon, Apr 1 2019The Toyota Yaris line in the U.S. has been really weird, what with the hatchback coming from Toyota, and the sedan coming from Mazda a rebadged Mazda2. For 2020, the Toyota Yaris line is still weird, but at least its consistent as the hatchback is also a rebadged Mazda2. And as far as styling is concerned, that's all there is to say. The front bumper is the the same angry catfish face as the Yaris sedan, and everything rearward comes from the Mazda2 that's available overseas and in Puerto Rico. The interior is the same as the Mazda2, and very similar to the Mazda CX-3. The switch to the Mazda platform has added 0.3 cubic-feet to the cargo space over the old Toyota version. Under the hood is the familiar 1.5-liter inline-four making 106 horsepower. Disappointingly, the only transmission available will be a six-speed automatic, whereas the current sedan is available with a six-speed manual transmission. But having six speeds is a massive improvement over the outgoing Yaris's ancient four-speed automatic. Fuel economy hasn't been announced, but expect it to get close to the Toyota Yaris sedan's 32 mpg in the city and 40 on the highway. This will be another improvement over the old Yaris hatch's 30 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. Unlike the sedan, the new Yaris hatch will only be offered in LE and XLE trims, leaving out the base-level L. Every version of the car gets alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, fog lights, keyless entry with push-button start, automatic emergency braking and an infotainment system with seven-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Moving up to XLE adds leatherette upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, automatic climate control and automatic LED headlights. Pricing and availability haven't been announced, but it will likely go on sale later this year with a starting price around $17,000 like the Yaris LE sedan.
Mazda going back to oval grille with next MX-5 Miata
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The original Mazda MX-5 Miata was distinguished by an oval grille - a design trait that gradually evolved into the smiling cat face on the latest model. But Mazda, according to the latest intel, is planning on returning to that oval grille with the new model in the works.
The revised grille will cap a slightly longer form than models past, while still keeping weight down to a minimum. The stretched wheelbase was reportedly adopted in order to meet the requirements of Alfa Romeo, which is jointly developing the new platform together with Mazda for use on a new roadster of its own.
The new Miata is expected to adopt the 1.5-liter Skyactiv four found in the Mazda3, albeit returned to rev higher and deliver more power and torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. The Alfa version, meanwhile, is expected to use a 1.4-liter turbo four with a dual-clutch transmission. Sources anticipate the new MX-5 to debut first, possibly at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show a little less than a year from now.
2019 Mazda CX-3 crossover updated with a tad more power and refinement
Wed, Mar 28 2018NEW YORK — Mazda's smallest vehicle, the CX-3 subcompact crossover, is getting a refresh for the 2019 model year. Visually, you'd be hard-pressed to tell what changed, and that's because not much did. The grille now has slats that are grouped in pairs, and the rear taillights have been redesigned. But there are a number of changes aside from visuals that separate this model from the 2018. Under the hood is still a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. It picks up two more horsepower and pound-feet of torque for totals of 148 for each, though Mazda says that it also picks up torque across more of the rev band and gets better fuel economy. Mazda didn't have official mileage numbers, though. The CX-3 will also now come with the G-Vectoring Control system that helps improve turn-in by reducing torque and shifting weight forward. The steering and suspension have been slightly retuned, and the tires developed to better absorb bumps. Deeper inside the CX-3, several changes should make the driving experience more calm and refined. These include thicker door panels and rear door glass to make things quieter. The seats are now wider with redesigned foam cushions for greater comfort. A new integrated armrest in the center console and one in the rear seats with cup holders help the same cause. Mazda will also add faux suede trim to the cabins of CX-3s for a more premium feel. Pricing hasn't been announced for the new CX-3, but the little crossover will go on sale in late spring. So expect pricing to come soon. Fuel economy numbers will likely be available soon, too. Related Video:
