Nate Please use the photobucket link below to see more pictures and video since I couldn't put them all on eBay. Pictures and videos taken October 2013 (its been in storage since): http://s1333.photobucket.com/user/mtnrolfes/library/1993%20RX-7%20R1%20For%20Sale Older video: http://www.spike.com/video-clips/4k4uza/southeast-route-of-tail-of-the-dragon History: I purchased it in the fall of 2000 from a seller in Tennessee. Within a year, the engine blew (tip seal) at the track, around 92k miles. Over the following winter the engine was rebuilt… The intake was ported, lightweight flywheel installed, new stock turbos, racing beat exhaust, custom air intake, Power FC fuel computer and commander installed. The Power FC was tuned by Steve Kan (www.kantuning.com). My goal for the rebuild was to make it rock solid, reliable, and fast. From 2001-2005 I put approximately 25k miles on the vehicle and the new engine taking it to few different tracks and on road trips. There is also a bullet cam installed on the front lip and wired up through the glove box with RCA inputs. Its been in storage since 2005 basically because I had kids and don’t really have time for it. I start it 2x a year and drive it for couple hours, and it always cranks right up and does not smoke. I have always changed the oil every 2000 miles and the engine and turbos are both very strong. I am including a lot of extras which I collected over the years….extra set of stock turbos and other miscellaneous parts and useful tools and other goodies. Exterior: The exterior
is in good shape. No dents, dings,
etc. Paint is chipped in a couple places and has been touched up with touch up paint. I have a custom cut headlight cover
intake to feed cold air into the engine intake, but I still have the original
headlight cover in case you want to switch back. The taillights have been modified for ’99
spec (http://www.rotaryaddicts.com/?page_id=446). Interior: The interior is in fair shape. The seats are actually leather seats from a touring series (not the original Cloth R1 seats). The power window switch on the passenger side doesn’t work, but it can be rolled down from the driver side switch which has both. Under the
Hood: I’ve focused all my energy, time, and resources on the under-hood aspect of the car so it would be as fast and reliable as possible. It is extremely reliable and engine is rebuilt very strong (when Steve Kan was tuning it he remarked at how well it pulled at high speeds). I can’t possibly sell the car at a price to get back the investment I’ve put into these performance parts, so my loss is your gain. The parts listed below are all installed on the car. In total over $5000 worth of upgrades. Please note, the air conditioning and power steering has been removed. It can be reinstalled, but I preferred the steering feel (more responsive, and the car is already so light you don't even notice the missing p/s except for slightly heavier efforts at parking lot speeds) and the stock A/C system was terrible anyway. Removing both of these lightened the car and gave the engine more power and made it more reliable.

Will the Mazda2 be offered as a PHEV with a rotary engine range extender?
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.
Martin Benders, managing director of Mazda in Australia, spoke to Motoring about the company's future with hybrids and basically reiterated what the CEO said last year. The Japanese automaker only plans to offer electrified powertrains in places where they can sell in sufficient numbers to be profitable, like Japan.
Mazda has been playing with the rotary range-extender idea for years. In the RE prototype, the engine was exclusively used to charge the lithium-ion batteries when they were running low, and a 100-horsepower electric motor provided all of the propulsion. It gave the little hatch an estimated range of about 250 miles. The company reportedly took inspiration from its Skyactiv engines to make the Wankel have lower friction and a lighter weight.
Toyota delays Mexico plant as it plans U.S. plant with Mazda
Thu, Aug 10 2017TOKYO — Toyota will push back the start of operations at its scheduled new plant in Mexico, to the first half of 2020 from the initial plan of 2019, the company said on Thursday. Japan's top automaker had initially planned to start building the Corolla sedan at the $1 billion Guanajuato plant but said last week it would switch production to a new U.S. factory to be built with Mazda. Toyota said the delay was necessary to adjust its supply chain in Mexico to produce the Tacoma pickup instead of the Corolla compact car. That factory could also build sport utility vehicles, a Toyota spokesman in Mexico said last week. "With the production model change to the Tacoma pickup, the start of production will consequently be in the first half of 2020," a Toyota spokeswoman said. "However, we will make our utmost effort to advance the timing in order to minimize the impact to suppliers and the local community." Until the scheduled start of the joint venture plant with Mazda in 2021, Toyota will supply the Corollas that were initially slated to be built in Mexico from its factories in Mississippi and Japan, the company said.Related: Mazda-Toyota partnership has us dreaming of a rotary hybrid Reporting by Makiko YamazakiRelated Video:
Mazda MX-5 Miata goes Head 2 Head with Subaru BRZ
Wed, Aug 5 2015It's a battle that's been in the making for some time now: the Subaru BRZ versus the Mazda MX-5 Miata. And now that the new Miata has arrived – and in Club spec to boot – that's exactly what Motor Trend has lined up for its latest episode of Head 2 Head. Now before you go screaming that one's a coupe and the other a convertible, take a few commonalities into account. Roofs aside, both feature a 2.0-liter four mounted up front, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Both are made by Japanese automakers and cost around $25-30k, give or take. Both produce around the same amount of torque, and while the Subaru may be more powerful, the Mazda's considerably lighter. To create a more even contest, then, you'd have to line a BRZ up against a Scion FR-S, or the MX-5 against the upcoming Fiat version of the same. Of course, being that close on paper doesn't mean that it's a draw. One has to come out on top. And after taking both along country roads and the Streets of Willow racing circuit, our friends at MT have picked one over the other. You'll want to watch the 22-minute video above (or at least skip ahead to the end) to see which came out on top, but if you're as enthused by a purist driver's car as we are, you'll enjoy every minute of it.
