This RX-7 has been my toy for about 10 years, but I don't have the time anymore. It was originally prepared for track racing with the following suspension upgrades: Tokico springs, KYB shocks, energy suspension bushings, and front sway bar, front strut tower brace. It has 16" Rota Formal rims with Falcon Ziex tires with ~75% tred remaining. The 13B engine was originally from a GSL-SE, and has the '89 style upper intake. I'm running two 800cc injectors controlled by a megasquirt ECU - secondaries are not being used at this time - still has decent power. Has a Mindtrain header-back exhaust and an RS-R muffler. Although the car is currently registered and inspected, I consider it a race/project car for the following reasons: 1. It has no emmision controls (although here in Texas it is old enough that it no longer needs emmisions testing). 2. It is roughly tuned: it runs rather rich - especially while warming up. 3. The hood is a custom piece - with the scoop from a Turbo-II car. It was cut out & fiberglassed together. Looks good from the top, not too pretty from under the hood as you can see from the picture.
Overall the car looks great cosmetically, but it's not perfect - there are some small dings here & there. It was re-painted the original "Tender Blue Metallic" color some time ago. Also there is a rust spot on the undercarriage as seen in the picture. There is also a crack on the hood scoop trim as you can see in the picture. The seats are from a late model RX8 & in decent shape. Mounting locations were modified to use the original RX8 hardware. There is no radio - there is a 7" PC screen which I intended to hook up to the megasquirt for real-time viewing of engine parameters but never finished that. You can tune & view it through a laptop and serial cable which I will include in the sale. Some things to keep in mind: This is a GS model which is basically the base model - no power steering(helps build upper body strength), no power windows, no sunroof, but that makes it a very light platform for racing. THE OIL METERING HAS BEEN REMOVED - so you must pre-mix. This is the best way to guarantee the proper lubrication, but you have to remember every time at the pump. I am using a synthetic rotary pre-mix oil. It is quite loud! With the header-back exhaust and RS-R muffler, you will wake the neighbors every time you start it up. The cornering is incredible, but it rides very rough. The AC does not work and the fan/temp controls have been moved to mount oil temp, water temp, and a wideband Air/fuel ratio gauge. The oil & water temp gauges are currently NOT hooked up. If any of these things concern you, then PLEASE DON'T bid. I will include the car cover in the picture with the sale of the car. If you have any questions, please contact me BEFORE you bid. Thanks!

I wanted to add some additional notes: This car also has the limited slip diff from a GSL-SE. Some additional bads: You can see from the picture of the door panel that the vinyl is starting to ripple in some places. When I moved it I noticed some drips of oil from the oil pan - I do have a new oil pan gasket which I will include..

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata shows off perfect 50/50 weight balance
Thu, May 28 2015When I attended the first drive event for the Japanese-spec 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in Spain earlier this year, I was blown away – and not just by the car. I was blown away by the charts and graphs Mazda's engineers brought along, showing how every little facet of the ND Miata was finely tuned for pure driving perfection. It's like rocket science. Only cooler. One of the most important parts of the Miata package is its weight distribution. The 2,332-pound roadster must achieve a perfect 50/50 balance, with a driver inside. That's not easy. But it has to be done. Only the best for the Miata. In this video, Mazda shows off the Miata's balance by putting it on an aluminum balance beam, to see if the car stays perfectly centered. You can probably guess the outcome, but watching it all take place is super cool, especially with commentary by Mazda engineer Dave Coleman and MX-5 program manager Rod McLaughlin. How does the 50/50 balance help the Miata's handling out on the road? You'll have to wait until the embargo on driving impressions for the US-spec car lifts. We'll have the full scoop at 3:01 AM Eastern on Monday, June 1. In the meantime, get a sneak preview of the new Miata in the video below. Autoblog readers got a closer look at the 2016 MX-5 at our Cars & Coneys meet-up, and as you can see, the excitement for this car is definitely real.

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.
