1991 Mazda Rx-7 Base Coupe 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States
|
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 without a stop, 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. |

Mazda Miata celebrates 25 years of rocking our worlds
Mon, 10 Feb 2014For its birthday it hasn't been profiled on 60 Minutes or been to Jay Leno's Garage, doesn't go on a retrospective tour of vintage racetracks or get a special Spyder Zagato edition. That doesn't mean we think any less of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the roadster with a simplicity that was as enjoyable as it was barely believable when it arrived in 1989. A quarter of a century and three generations later, the Miata remains the go-to roadster when you want easy, balanced and economical thrills.
It grew from a 116-horsepower speedster with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 2,116 pounds, to a 167-hp go-kart with a five-speed manual coming in at 2,480 pounds (in Sport guise). Along the way it's picked up hundreds of awards, including 14 nods on Car and Driver's "10Best" list, its most recent eight-year streak coming to an end last year, the Guinness Book of World Records title as "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" and innumerable trophies as weekend racer extraordinaire.
We'll see the fourth generation at next year's Chicago Auto Show, and we're certain to hear more about its 25-year milestone this year. Until that happens, enjoy the images above and the gallery and press release below.
Will Mazda sell diesel hybrids in Japan in 2016?
Thu, Aug 14 2014Could the "Zoom Zoom" automaker start making hybrids that go "glug glug glug"? Mazda, known for its fuel-efficient Skyactiv engine line, will be the first Japanese automaker to make a diesel-hybrid vehicle for Japan and Europe. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Mazda may start making its oil-burning hybrids as soon as 2016, and the powertrain may reach fuel efficiency levels of as much as 95 miles per gallon (one the more lenient Japanese driving cycle). That'd make such a vehicle line about 30 percent more fuel-efficient than standard diesels and about eight percent more fuel efficient that the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid (known as the Aqua in Japan). Mazda has been dismissive of hybrid and electric powertrains, instead focusing on Skyactiv technology to maximize fuel efficiency from conventional gas-powered engines. Diesel powertrains account for about half of the light-duty vehicles sold in Europe each year, while Japan's diesel sales of 76,000 vehicles last year were about three times as many as were sold there in 2012. In January, Mazda said that it would delay the introduction of its Skyactiv-D diesel engine from what was to be a spring 2014 debut. The reason was to fine-tune the engine's performance/fuel economy balance. Mazda representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the diesel hybrids.
Mazda CEO predicts record US sales in next 2 years
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The recently appointed CEO of Mazda is apparently quite the optimist, claiming that the Japanese brand, renowned for its Zoom-Zoom driving character (and more recently its sleek, refined designs and Skyactiv efficiency), is claiming the company will record its best-ever US sales within the next two years. According to a report from Automotive News, Masamichi Kogai expects Mazda to move 400,000 of its Kodo-styled vehicles in the increasingly competitive US market by March 2016, with the recently launched Mazda3 leading the charge. "It will impacted considerably by the trend of the U.S. industry. But... it's my hope we achieve the record by that time," Kogai tells AN.
The brand is currently targeting 300,000 units by the end of this fiscal year in March 2014. Given that production and sales of the Mazda3 (and consumer awareness of the 2014 Mazda6) is still picking up steam, it isn't a stretch to imagine Mazda, which sold 240,000 vehicles from January to October of 2013, hitting its target.
Along with the overall increase in sales numbers, Kogai is expecting the independent brand to take an even larger slice of the US sales pie, claiming 2.5 percent US market share, improving from its current 1.9-percent foothold so far in 2013. "I think the upper limit may be 2.5 percent for the time being," Kogai told AN, before pointing out, "We don't want to use a lot of incentives. That is not the sales approach we aspire toward."
