This 1985 Mazda RX7 GS is a very well preserved car, mechanically perfect and an excellent driver. I am owner number 3 and the car fax supports the mileage of 100,7XX.

The car came to me from a collector car dealer in Boise Idaho and was in well preserved shape. A new radio is the only modifications from stock I’ve noticed and the original stereo, equalizer and cassette come with the car. Here is the list of work beyond oil and filters performed during my ownership:

  • ·      Oil pressure sensor weeping removed and replaced
  • ·      Speedometer cable gaskets at transmission weeping, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Differential drain / fill plug gaskets weeping, removed, replaced refilled with fresh fluid.
  • ·      Transmission exterior shift boot torn, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Tires rotated, balanced, new valve stems installed and raised white letters turned inside.
  • ·      Small dent on top of drivers side front fender repaired by paint free dent removal.
  • ·      Door seals leaking, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Hood support retainer clip missing, replaced.
  • ·      Rear hatch supports weak, replaced.
  • ·      Front wheel bearings loose, preloads reset.
  • ·      Front Shocks worn, replaced with KYB units.
  • ·      Interior shift boot and plastic surround cracked, removed and replaced with new old stock.
  • ·      Clutch chattering when hot, replaced clutch including new friction disk, pressure plate, pilot bearing and release bearing. Flywheel resurfaced at this time, transmission drained and refilled with new gear oil.
  • ·      Air conditioning leaking freon, main hoses removed and replaced. Fresh charge of R12 refrigerant. Blows 38F at the center vent in 75F ambient temperature.
  • ·      Oil injection system tested and shown to be at factory specifications.

There are receipts to document all of this. Every system on the car works, as it should. Currently it wears Idaho plates but on 3/6/14 the car easily passed a California smog inspection, which is good for change of ownership within 60 days.

I find nothing that would make me doubt this is original paint and see no evidence of rust. Ocean Blue Metallic, code L-6, which appears to be a fairly rare one-year only color. There are small chips in the clear coat located on the plastic rear bumpers edge, see pictures.

The grey cloth interior looks incredible, no rips tears or stains. The dash is 100% crack free and all the glass has the original Mazda stamps. Headliner is in great shape with no discoloration or sagging.

I have tried to describe this car as honestly as I can. This RX has been enjoyed and that means the occasional chip and some wear marks but short of a frame off restoration or a museum piece I doubt you can find a cleaner example.

Feel free to contact me, Bill 760-809-9746, with any questions or to view the car. Pre--purchase inspections will be facilitated in the North San Diego County area at your expense only. 

Finally the legal stuff:

·      The car is sold “As is” with no implied or expressed warranty.

·      Seller will help to facilitate shipping but only at buyer’s sole expense.

·      $500.00 due from winning bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction’s end.

·      Balance only via certified check, cash in person or wire transfer within 7 days of auction ending. PayPal will not be accepted for the balance unless seller agrees in advance and buyer pays all associated fees.

Mazda Miata livery design contest in Forza Horizon 2

Sun, Dec 7 2014

If you're into video games, creativity, the Mazda MX-5 Miata and South by Southwest, then there's a contest in Forza Horizon 2 you'll want to know about. Called the Livery Design Contest, your job is to head to Xbox Live sometime before midnight on January 4, 2015 and design a paint job for the 1994 Miata in the game. A panel of judges will evaluate designs for originality, aesthetic design and technical proficiency, and settle on up to five semifinalists who will regroup in the next round, which is public voting. Come January 26, the public can begin voting on its favorite design until February 12, to narrow the semifinal pool down to two. Those two will be flown to South by Southwest in Austin, TX – which happens from March 13-22 – and one of them will be crowned the winner. Said winner will lumber away from the event with $3,500 worth of prizes, including a 55-inch curved-screen television, and their livery will be free to all of the minions playing Forza Horizon 2. There's also a Mazda hub on Xbox Live for everyone to take an in-depth look at the 2016 Miata, if you just like to watch, in which case you may also want to see the related videos joining the press release below.
