1993 Mazda Rx7, Florida Car, Lots Of Upgrades on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:85500

Naples, Florida, United States

I bought this car for my mid life crisis car to replace the 1993 Rx7 I had back when they were new.  

This car  is fun to drive but my being older means it kills my back getting in and out of the car and I can't get comfortable, so I will stick to my antique cars for my mid life crisis instead .  Some things just are not as much fun the second time around ( like marrying your ex wife again ) and put this up for sale.

1993 Mazda Rx7.

In the past year the following have been done;

1. tune up- new platinum plugs, new wires, new coil packs
2. New front and rear cross drilled and slotted brake rotors and pads
3. New Optima battery relocated to the bin behind the driver's seat
4. New aluminum race quality heavy duty radiator + twin fans
5. New aluminum race quality large turbo intercooler
6. New silicone cooling and vacuum hoses
7. New aluminum race quality coolant air tank
8. New APEXi air intake system
9. complete flush and fill of all lubricants and replacing with synthetic fluids
10. New 145 degree thermostat and gasket and water pump
11. New belts
12.  New rear strut bar
13.  New struts
14. New turn signal / drive lamp assemblies


The following need attention:
1. Fuel filler door pops open ( have it temporarily stuck closed so it doesn't open when driving ) and it works as is but it is not a permanent fix
2. Prior owner was in the middle of changing the interior from tan to black, so the carpets,headliner , and back bins are still tan ( which you can leave or change to black to match the rest if you like ). I just left it since
    it didn't bother me.
3. Odometer just blinked out 2 weeks ago, was at approx. 85,500 - I just bought a replacement dash cluster with a working odo if you want to replace it- it is included
4. black plastic on some inside surfaces such as doors and console needs to be refinished, covered or painted-
5. there are some very minor parking lot dings on the body ( see pictures )

Prior owner did the following.
1. new sound system with amp, head, speakers etc
2. 17 inch rims with matched set of ZR rated Cooper tires - still at least 50 % left
3. they tinted the windows which helps here in Florida
4. upgraded tail light assemblies
5. front air splitter
6. a pillar gauges


Since this is now a 21 year old used car, it is sold as is, where is, with no warranties.  Wow, 21 years - now I feel even older.  Email if you want to see or drive the car

2016 Mazda2 gets EPA-rated 43 mpg highway

Fri, Apr 10 2015

To paraphrase the famous quote from astronaut Neil Armstrong, that's one small step for man and one giant leap for the Mazda2. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has weighed in on the new Mazda2 version, and says it gets a fuel-economy rating of 33 miles per gallon city and 43 mpg highway with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stick-shift gas-mileage figures are 31 city and 42 highway, which are still substantially better than the 29/35 rating from the most recent iteration of the model. That's about a 15-percent jump in fuel economy, people. More importantly, the Mazda2 beats out competitors such as the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio Eco and even the Honda Fit in terms of fuel efficiency, which is pretty good company. The Mazda2 boasts a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. But it is the upgrade to six-speed transmissions in both manual and automatic versions that seem to be making the biggest difference in the ratings. Mazda started unveiling details about the next-generation Mazda2 last year, and last fall began production of the model at Mazda's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. At that time, the Japanese automaker had already sold more than 2.4 million Mazda2 vehicles since the model's introduction in 1996. Related Video:

Mazda2 production fires up in Mexico

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Mazda has officially kicked off production of the next-generation Mazda2 at the company's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. Alongside the auto assembly plant, operations have also commenced at the facility's engine machining factory.
"With the start of production of the all-new Mazda2, operations underway at the engine machining plant, and an increase in our annual production capacity, we now have an even stronger production framework capable of supplying global markets with Skyactiv products of the same high quality level as those made in Japan," Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation's President Keishi Egawa said in a statement. "At the same time, we are pleased to be able to make a contribution to Mexico's further economic growth."
MMVO joins Mazda's Hofu Plant in Japan and the Auto Alliance factory in Thailand, which commenced Mazda2 production in July and September, respectively.
