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.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
Alfa Romeo takes Spider in-house, Mazda-Fiat roadster partnership not dead
Sat, Dec 20 2014It's officially off. Following a report in March of this year that the marriage of Mazda and Alfa Romeo to produce a MX-5-based Spider was in trouble, the Italians have confirmed that it will take development in-house. "As far as the Spider goes, the final version is of course no longer the two-seater FCA co-developed with Mazda but a derivative of Project Giorgio," Maserati and Alfa Romeo brand boss Harald Wester told Car. For those not in the know, Project Giorgio is Alfa's codename for the rear-drive platform that will underpin the next-generation Spider, not to mention the replacement for the 159 sedan and a few other products. All is not lost for the Japanese-Italian partnership, though. "The Far East import will probably find a new home with Fiat-Abarth," Wester told Car. Yes, you read that correctly, Mazda is still working with FCA, and the result will eventually end up with Abarth's scorpion badge. If anything, we're more excited over this news than the idea of an Alfa MX-5. But we want to know what you think – would you rather Alfa build a new Spider on the Miata's bones, or does an MX-5 Abarth sound like more fun? Have your say in Comments.
Mazda begins building Mazda3 in Mexico for US
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With fluctuations in international currencies and rising shipping costs to take into account, foreign automakers can't get away with building cars overseas and selling them in North America as easily as they used to. Particularly with inexpensive mainstream models. And given the benefits of cheaper labor and free trade under NAFTA, many have opted to assemble their cars for the North American market in Mexico. That's why the likes of Toyota, Mercedes and BMW have all opened plants in Mexico. And now Mazda has followed suit.
Ground was initially broken for Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operations at Salamanca in the state of Gunajuato back in 2011, but production has just now gotten under way. The first vehicle to roll off the line? A Mazda3 sedan destined for the United States. Soon, the plant will begin production of the next Mazda2 as well, selling it alongside its larger counterpart across the Americas and in Europe as production expands to 230,000 units annually. For more information, see the official press release below.
