1985 Mazda Rx-7 Gs Coupe 2-door 1.1l on 2040-cars
Hampshire, Illinois, United States
For sale is my 1985 Mazda Rx7 GS. I purchased this car 2 years ago. Since then I have put a lot of work and money in it. Engine is a 12a Bridgeport built by Rotary Works in Miami Florida. 140,000 Miles on the chassis and less than 500 miles on the engine. It has a 650 CMF Holley with electric fuel pump, brand new fuel regulator, electric fan, brand new optima battery, spark plug wires, coils, rotors, brand new tires (205-60-13), new brakes,rotors and hub, new headers, racing beat per-silencer, custom dash gauges, racing steering wheel, racing tachometer, racing pedals, new alternator, CD player, Halo lights and much more. This car has no AC and no power steering. The car sounds great and goes super fast. The car has a new paint job, however, not perfect; there are a few minor dents and imperfections, but looks awesome. Inside is clean. The car has a small oil leak at the oil pan and the oil metering pump and I will include the oil pan gasket. Metering pump will need o-rings.This car is a head turner. The reason I am selling the car is because I travel alot thoughout the country and I have no time to enjoy and maintain my car. My loss could be your gain. If my reserve is met I will include the old Bridgeport engine which the housing needs to be resurfaced(rotors are in good shape), stock steering wheel, oil pan, and a brand new stage 3 racing clutch. Bid with confidence reserve will be reasonable. Email me if any questions.

Mazda rolls out unlimited mileage warranty in Canada
Fri, 14 Nov 2014Cold weather might be starting to grip parts of Canada, but our neighbors to the north are going to be able to drive their 2015 Mazda cars and utilities from Vancouver to Montreal with a little more peace of mind. That's because Mazda Canada is instituting an unlimited mileage warranty for its new models.
The updated plan starts with all 2015 model year vehicles (even those already sold), and the scheme simply removes that distance limit on everything but the emissions defect coverage. That means that the Mazdas have one year of service adjustments, three years of new vehicle coverage, five years on the powertrain, seven years against corrosion and three years of roadside assistance for as many kilometers as the owner drives.
The change removes at least one, tiny piece of anxiety about buying a new vehicle because it's easy to know when the coverage ends. "By offering our customers an Unlimited Mileage Warranty, we believe it will enhance their ownership experience by alleviating concerns such as kilometre limitations, repair costs and resale value," Kory Koreeda, president of Mazda Canada, in the automaker's announcement.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?
Thu, 25 Sep 2014People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
