1985 Mazda RX-7 RX7 GSL-SE

This is originally a California car and is just out of storage. It was stored in an enclosed trailer in California for eight years before I purchased the car. The car retains all of its original paint and original equipment (the only thing that isn't original to the car is the radio). It has been well cared for and maintained.  The car runs, drives and stops perfectly. The tires are in excellent shape with lots of tread left. There are two sun roofs, one glass and one that is the body color of the car.

The car drives smoothly, brakes straight and accelerates like it should. On the freeway, the car tracks straight, true and smooth. The engine does not and has not ever exhibited any of the flooding problems that so many others experience with the 13B fuel injected engine. The engine runs well and has plenty of power and revs smoothly. The engine starts immediately, and there is no smoke from the engine either on start up or while driving.

The air conditioning blows cold, the heater blows hot, the cruise control works and the clock keeps time. The electric windows work, but are a little slow going up. Since there is an aftermarket radio, the center console four-way speaker control is not connected. The electric antenna does not raise up, but I have a brand new replacement electric antenna still in the box that will be included with the sale of the car.

Overall the exterior of the car is in excellent condition. There are some rock chips on the nose and a couple of door dings, things that you would expect for a car that is 30 years old, but overall, the paint is all original and in really good condition, as can be seen the pictures. The flat black window trim could probably use a repaint, but it is just wind-worn and I’ll leave that up to the new owner to repaint or leave as is. I wanted to leave it as original as possible for the new owner. All the glass is in good shape and there are no cracks. There is one small rock chip in the windshield on the passenger side that is not very noticeable. The interior is in very good condition. The only flaw is the steering wheel. The top of the steering wheel looks as if someone chewed off the top of it. As mentioned earlier, the only non-stock item in the interior is the radio. The carpets are in very good condition, having been protected by aftermarket floor mats. The seat upholstery is in excellent condition. The seats travel easily in their tracks and the seat back adjustments work as they should.

Included with the car is a front nose “Bra” in like new condition (not installed) and louvers for the rear hatch (also not installed).

I have a clear Washington state title in my name. The car is available for viewing by appointment and I encourage you to do so.

Down payment to be made by Paypal. Balance of the sale amount to to be paid by cashier's check within 7 days of the auction end.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, including shipping arrangements and costs. I will assist with the shipping on my end to the best of my ability. I will store the car for up to two weeks after the end of the auction to allow for time to arrange shipping.

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000

Tue, 07 May 2013

There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
