1985 Mazda Rx7 Gsl-se on 2040-cars
Antioch, California, United States
I am selling a white 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE. This model has limited-slip differential and four wheel disc brakes with the more popular 4x114.3 bolt pattern and more robust wheel bearings.
It has a REBUILT 1.3L 13B EGI engine. Runs great! Doesn't flood, never overheats, great oil pressure, good voltage etc. All the smog equipment is present and functional. Will pass smog. I've driven it to Los Angeles and back with no issues. Gets 23mpg highway. After the break in, converted to Idemitsu Full Synthetic Rotary Engine Oil, K&N air and oil filters, always used Zerex G-05 coolant with distilled water also. Major Repairs/Upgrades:
Small issues:
Exterior: I'd rate the condition of the body as a 7 out of 10. It is straight with no major dents. The worst damage it has is from previous owner not knowing where to properly place the jack stands. However, the alignment specs on this car are spot on, which is a great sign that there was no major accident damage. The vent between the wipers in front of the windshield is a bit bent. Being that it is a California car there are some spots of surface rust by the bumpers, headlights, sunroof hinges, etc. I took pictures of all the noticeable spots of rust. Paint is in fair condition. Interior: Probably a 5 out of 10. All the buttons/switches work, but the seats are torn, the carpet is worn in some spots, and a lot of the plastic trim is broken off, etc. The heater works good. Original stereo wasn't working and I haven't gotten around to putting in a new one yet. The speakers I'm sure are old and probably bad. |

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
Mazda: Penn & Teller
Mon, Feb 2 2015Mazda turned to magic to highlight its refreshed CX-5, bringing in Las Vegas staples Penn and Teller to saw the CUV in half. The glitzy spot has a very Sin City feel to it, although considering some of the ads we've seen tonight, it's short on shock value, humor and heart-tugging imagery. Have a look, though, and let us know what you think.
Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
