I have a 1982 Mazda RX7 GS with a rarely seen carbureted 6 port induction 12A rotary engine. The car has 150k miles. The engine was installed in the mid 1990's as a in service replacement imported from Japan. This rare Mazda 6 port induction engine was never offered in the U.S.A. as a factory RX7 option. The mileage on the engine is unknown but my research from the past 2 owners (including the owner that installed the engine) reveals that it was not driven much since installation. There are no fluid leaks, does not smoke and has great compression, 130+ in both rotors. The average costs to overhaul a 12a rotary engine is around $3,000.00, much of a RX7's value is the condition of the engine and this one is in great shape. I have put about 2500 miles on this car with no major issues.

The known problems are the trip meter when reset will only run up to 10 miles and stops. The rear window defroster does not work, the tabs on the glass for the electrical connections have come off. The A/C blows cool but could use a can of Freon (R12). The manual windows roll up and down ok but need a little help to align correctly when reaching the top. The center console lid hinge is broken, I leave the lid off and use the open space for drinks etc since the car has no factory cup holders. The (outer) door window seals need to be replaced. The door seals are a bit rough but the car seals up well, I have noticed no water leaks to the interior during a hard rain. The dash has cracks in the area above the speedometer. The clutch may be getting a bit thin as it engages near the top of the travel and the car sometimes shutters when taking off from a stop but it shifts normally through all gears with no slippage. The seats are in good condition with a little tearing only on the side vinyl of the drivers seat. I have new black and red seat covers that are included with the sale. The car has a very nice aftermarket Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo. As you can see from the pictures the interior IMHO is in way above average condition for a 32 year old car.

I have replaced both rear wheel brake cylinders, installed new idler arm bushings and a new windshield. Performed tune up with new plugs, wires, cap & rotor. With the exception of the clutch issues the car starts easily & runs and drives great, the transmission (synchros) and rear end run smooth and quiet. The body has a few bumps and bruises with a few spots of light surface rust,  nothing serious or structural.  The left rear quarter panel needs some finish detail work before painting. Please review all the pictures in detail as they are part of the description.

This car is not a pristine museum piece but all things considered has been a nice daily driver for me.   If you are serious about getting a good 1st generation RX7 daily driver then you must take a close look at this one.  Please email with any questions.  The reason I am selling is that I have too many cars, about a dozen total and 6 are RX7's.  Others I may be selling in the future are a 1985 GSL-SE with 82K original miles,  a 1983 S car with some GS options and 123k original miles and last but not least a near perfect time capsule 1983 GSL survivor car with only 45k original miles that has been stored indoors all it's life with only 2 owners, I am the 2nd.  Thanks for looking and hope to find this car a good new home soon.

Please take a good look and ask all questions as the sale will be final.

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
