Up for sale is my 1991 RX-7 Coupe. I am the third owner and have owned the car since 2003. 


The good:

The car is from Florida so the body has only a few small (dime size) spots of rust, except the lower window trim. Has never been in an accident. Suspension still tight, motor pulls strong, brakes are great, interior is in decent shape. Car is stock except for factory replacement 4 piston brakes on the front and a Miata shift knob (still have original). Power windows, wipers, and seat belts work. Seat belts are only 2 years old. Comes with two sets of tires, currently wearing the winter set. It has always been run on 2 cycle premix. All gauges work, but digital clock has the cold solder issue (common). 


The bad:

The front rotor has an o-ring leak on the exhaust side. Although the car runs normally, it leaks exhaust into the cooling system. After about 20-30 minutes of driving the low water buzzer can go off because the exhaust has forced the coolant out. You can stop, dump the coolant into the radiator and keep going, though. If you're not driving it long distances, you wouldn't notice a problem at all. CD/radio has mostly stopped working. Power antenna is broken and is in the up position. The mufflers are rusted through. Fuel injectors leak when it's cold so sometimes it smokes on start up. Transmission is notchy before it is warmed up and shifter feels a little loose. Has A/C hardware, but it hasn't had freon in years. Body has some small dents.


The ugly:

The paint is mostly faded away. The passenger door was repainted after a broken window and it has cracked (see picture). The hood has been resprayed with primer, but there is rust creeping back under it. The driver's seat has two tears in it. The speedo/tach console surround has broken from its mount. Above the speedo console the vinyl dash is cratered. The rubber trim on the hatch is pulling up on the driver's side (see picture). 

Summary: 

The car could use new paint and the engine will likely need to be overhauled/replaced eventually.

Buyer to arrange for pickup/delivery. Deposit due within 48 hours, full payment with cash or cashier's check on pickup.

Road & Track to take Miata on million-mile march

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

Road & Track has taken on a Miata project. One hell of a project, if we're honest. You see, the Miata in question, a 1989 example in Mariner Blue, isn't a high-mileage Mazda that the publication intends to fix up, or make race-worthy, or try to flip or give away to a reader or something. No, it's a rather typical well-used NA, with a hefty 325,000 miles on the clock to-date that the staff plans on driving until the six-digit odo reads all zeros again. One million miles or bust (or both, most likely).
Procured for the bargain-basement price of $1,600, complete with seat covers that "really do look like muppet pelts" (according to Zach Bowman) and a bondo-filled love tap on the nose, the NA Miata actually looks like just the sort of fun-machine that a real driving enthusiast would pick up to get some cheap thrills in. The R&T team already has some interesting plans for the Miata, including a potential run up Pikes Peak and loaning it out to readers (or perhaps your author...). Click through to read all about it.

Mazda5 will officially die this year

Thu, Aug 6 2015

We knew it was coming, but it just became a lot more official. Mazda is going to kill the closest thing to a driver-oriented people-mover when it phases out the Mazda5 MPV for model year 2016. The news was presented quietly and unremarkably, with Mazda giving its compact minivan a single-line obituary as part of an announcement recapping changes to the brand's lineup for 2016: "There are no plans at this time to bring a replacement Mazda5 to the US market beyond the 2015 model year." Despite being a critical favorite for its fun-to-drive nature and seven-seat capacity, the 5 never really resonated with consumers, representing a small percentage of Mazda's total sales. In its best sales year, 2008, only about 22,000 were sold, representing only about eight percent of the brand's sales that year. That percentage was even smaller in recent years, as the 5's sales fell into the low ten-thousands. In other Mazda news, the brand is making a number of small, subtle changes to its lineup. Almost all of them constitute new ore removed options and are available for your perusal in the attached press release. Scroll down for a look. 2016 MAZDA LINEUP: WHAT'S NEW Having launched two refreshed and two all-new models for the 2016 model year, Mazda North American Operations is keeping busy with broadening its award-winning lineup of cars and crossovers. For the 2016 model year, Mazda is keen to maintain its leadership in providing unmatched KODO—Soul of Motion design and excellent driving dynamics and democratizing advanced safety technologies like Mazda Radar Cruise Control and Smart Brake Support into even its smallest, most affordable vehicles. Mazda6 and CX-5 return for 2016 with new styling elements, interior amenities and refinement. Mazda CX-3 enters the North American market in a new, hot segment, and MX-5 Miata continues its mission to provide unadulterated driving thrills to the masses. Last but not least, Mazda3 has been repackaged for 2016. Below is a list of what's new and different with Mazda's 2016 lineup.

Mazda doubles down with a pair of Threes

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Looking to appeal to the compact tuner crowd, Mazda brought two different flavors of its 2014 Mazda3 to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week. The Club Sport 3 Concept hatchback (above) has more of a racing vibe to it, while the Vector 3 Concept sedan (right) looks to inject a little extra fashion into the all-new Mazda3.
Hotting up the 3, Mazda stuck with the stock 2.5-liter engine on the Club Sport 3 Concept but added a limited-slip differential and six-speed manual gearbox, the latter of which was lifted from the CX-5 crossover. Other upgrades include coil-over shocks, a performance exhaust, Brembo brakes and an aero body kit - the latter of which will be offered to buyers at a later date.
While the Vector 3 Concept does get some performance bits like two-piece Brembo brake rotors and grippier tires, the focus on this sedan is all about styling. Starting with a custom paint job and ghost stripes, the whole look is tied together with 19-inch, V-spoke Rays wheels.
