 1983 Mazda RX7 GSL.  Near perfect deep black paint over rust free/bondo free Florida body.  Body has 159k (and may go up slightly as I still drive the car a few times per week); 12a motor has roughly 58k on full Atkins Rotary rebuild.  Suspension is all new (Racing Beat springs and urethane bushings) and car drives super.  4-wheel discs; limited slip rear.  Power windows, power brakes, sunroof with steel panel and rare glass panel, 5-speed manual trans, cruise (works) and JVC Arsenal am/fm/cd/mp3/bluetooth player.  New Racing beat cat back exhaust (cat is deleted) and car is still really quiet.  Everything is 100% and car is a pleasure to drive anywhere... for an older RX7, it corners like it's on rails even with the 13" tires.  Selling as I need a larger car for more seating - must be sold, so if you're looking for a fully sorted first gen RX7, this is definitely worth looking at!

Motor fully rebuilt aprx 58k miles ago by Atkins - runs 100% with stock Nikki carb
Rat's nest removed due to failed solenoids (car starts/runs perfect and returns 21mpg all day with daily driving  - pushes close to 30mpg on the highway)
New K&N drop in air filter
New driveshaft
New Racing Beat springs
New Racing Beat cat back exhaust
New cat delete mid pipe with resonator
New Racing Beat urethane suspension bushings throughout
New dual alternator pulley (air pump deleted)
New rotary aviation adapter for injecting 2 cycle oil from separate oil storage tank into the motor for better lubrication - easily removed/disabled to return to stock
2nd Gen fuse block installed under hood to do away with the problematic fusible links

Cosmetic issues - the original dash was covered with a replacement dashpad cover.  It's starting to wrinkle a bit.  Carpet in rear cargo area is faded from sun exposure.  One area of the paint has odd crazing (which was even in the original paint before the car was stripped and repainted - so slight it's impossible for me to photograph - it's above the gas door and hasn't ever been noticed by anyone but me).  Body plastic pieces (@ rear bumper ends) are starting to age warp a little.  Car originally had A/C but was removed long before I acquired it.

Car draws incredible attention wherever it goes - ALWAYS drawing complements on the quality of the paint and regarding the overall condition of the car.

All prospective bidders are encouraged to call me with questions or to schedule a viewing of the car.  If anyone would be interested in having a local Mazda dealer look at it for condition verification, feel free to call me between 9am and 10pm EST @ 716.250.8439.  Additional photos of specific areas available on request.  Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping issues.

Once again, this car must be sold, so feel free to make reasonable offers!

2015 Mazda2 revealed ahead of Paris debut [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Small cars may be big business, but the world's automakers don't seem to be in any particular rush to keep them fresh. The new Smart Fortwo unveiled yesterday replaces a model that's already been around for seven years, and based on a structure dating back to the late '90s. The new Opel Corsa revealed just last week replaces a model that had been around for eight years. And the Mazda2 has been on the market in its current form for seven years now, but not for much longer because Mazda has finally revealed its successor.
Set to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this October, the new Mazda2 follows the stylistic lead of the Hazumi concept remarkably close, from the sharply creased front end right down to the wheel design - bringing the supermini hatchback in line with the KODO design language that characterizes its bigger siblings: the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.
Although details released thus far are rather limited, and power will vary from one market to another, engine options center around a 1.5-liter four in both gasoline and diesel versions, joining the manual and automatic transmissions and the chassis itself under Mazda's Skyactiv technology umbrella. We wouldn't expect the diesel version to make it across the Pacific (or across the border from the plant that will build it alongside a new Toyota hatch in Mexico), but rumors have surfaced of a potential rotary hybrid. The new 2 will also include the company's MZD connectivity suite and i-Activsense safety technology.

Mazda2 production fires up in Mexico

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Mazda has officially kicked off production of the next-generation Mazda2 at the company's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. Alongside the auto assembly plant, operations have also commenced at the facility's engine machining factory.
"With the start of production of the all-new Mazda2, operations underway at the engine machining plant, and an increase in our annual production capacity, we now have an even stronger production framework capable of supplying global markets with Skyactiv products of the same high quality level as those made in Japan," Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation's President Keishi Egawa said in a statement. "At the same time, we are pleased to be able to make a contribution to Mexico's further economic growth."
MMVO joins Mazda's Hofu Plant in Japan and the Auto Alliance factory in Thailand, which commenced Mazda2 production in July and September, respectively.

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Mazda Miata with just 27 original miles

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Some cars have low mileage, and others have close to no miles at all. This 1990 Mazda Miata, currently listed on eBay Motors and located in Kingman, Arizona, falls into the latter category with only 27 miles on the odometer, according to the seller. But we have to wonder: how did one of the best-driving, most influential sports cars of the past two decades sit without being driven for 24 years? Consider it the seller's loss on this one.
The seller says he bought the car with 20 miles on it, and explains 6.9 miles were added when the car was towed home on a car dolly. It was never registered. Furthermore, the seller says the car didn't come with a set of keys, so he had to have a set made. Though the paint is clean and shiny, the Miata didn't escape minor cosmetic damage over the years, with scratches on the hood, the trunk and the factory hardtop that is included with the car. The front, right fender has a small dent as well, which can be seen in a picture. The seller says the car was stored in a building with windows, so the paint is faded a bit in some places. It's missing its antenna and the battery, and the only non-original parts on the car are the windshield wipers. The clear-title car comes with all paperwork, according to the seller, but, besides the owners manual, he didn't specify what other documentation would be included.
With bidding currently at $10,300 and the reserve not met, this Miata definitely isn't the deal of the century, and we have to question where the value is in this one. The way we see it, it's hard to justify the money if it can't be driven as-is (come on, no battery?), has questionable history, isn't rare and sat in storage for its whole existence. The "weather cracked" tires are probably just the first rubber parts on the car that need to be replaced before it can be driven, but at least the spark plugs were removed and the cylinders were filled with Marvel Mystery Oil prior to storage, which helps to prevent rust and corrosion from forming in the engine.
