1993 Mazda Rx7 With Ls/t56 Engine Swap on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
I originally bought this 93 RX7 in October of 2012 with the intention of working on it over time to turn it into a track car, but as life would have it I have had little free time and haven’t touched it since I bought the car.
I bought the car from its previous owner in Northern California with a 120k on the chassis and (an unconfirmed) 50k on the powertrain. I test drove the car and found that it drove well and looked nice in person so I bought it and had it shipped to Phoenix, Arizona (where I live and where the car is located now). Since the shipping company dropped off the car it wasnt running, but it turned out to be a loose ground on the starter motor which has since been fixed. I have not driven the car in over a year, but it starts up and settles down into a nice idle after a minute or so. I am not sure what engine swap kit was used or what donor car the LS1 was harvested from. The car has a clean car fax with no accidents. Here is a list of known issues: 1. The body is in overall good condition, but there are paint chips along both front fenderwells (see pictuers), as well as a couple poorly repaired scratches on the driver’s side fender. Also, the driver’s side headlight cover is a different shade of red than the rest of the car. Driver's side exterior door handle doesn't open the door when it is locked, which is a well known issue with the FD chassis RX7. Also, fuel door sometimes sticks. 2. Electrical: this is the one area where I think the car needs the most attention. Just from looking under the dash, the wiring isn’t labeled and the connections were done with taps and splices. The car would really benefit from a new harness (as can be purchased from Jordan Innovations). The car currently has no radio or A/C. During my test drive, the speedo was not working as car needs dakota digital signal converter. 3. The interior panels are in good condition. The original seats are not included; instead there are momo seats and steering wheel, as well as a roll bar which has been bolted in. I have the interior panels stored and bagged, and these will be included with the car (I removed these interior panels to inspect the condition of the body of the car). 4. Suspension: car is on D-1 drift spec coilovers with no apparent issues 5. Wheels/tires: XXR 527’s are brand new, tires 6. The car currently is running, but hasn't been driven in over a year. My honest estimation is that with some attention to the electrical system and TLC to the details, this car can be a very nice LS swapped RX7. I am not in a rush to sell nor do I need to sell, but it makes little sense to hold on to the car when it is just gathering dust. Please note the following: -I will not be replying to any offers of cars -I have the clear title in hand. I will sign title over to the new owner once car is paid for in full. -Buyers who have demonstrated the ability to afford the car through a cash statement or pre-qualified loan letter are welcome to inspect the car in person in Phoenix, AZ. -Buyer to arrange and pay for the cost of shipping. |

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Mazda CX-3 almost ready for LA Show
Mon, 17 Nov 2014The Mazda CX-3 is just days away from its unveiling at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, but elsewhere in the world, the Japanese brand still has the compact crossover disguised for testing. These spy shots aren't too camouflaged though, and when combined with the previous teaser image, they give a pretty clear idea what the new model will look like.
The grille here is well covered, but the photo from the front reveals the similarities to the design sketch. The rear shows a similar horizontally oriented design as the Mazda2, which the CUV is based on. However, the dipping sides around the B-pillar from the teaser don't appear to be on this tester. Even with all the swirls, the vehicle looks fairly attractive.
Mazda is doing a fantastic job of keeping mechanical details about the CX-3 a secret. It's not yet known whether the model is front-wheel-drive only or if all-wheel drive is also an option. The crossover also likely shares the Mazda2's engine, which isn't revealed for North America, yet. The diminutive CUV will compete with a huge crop of new classmates, including the Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, Chevrolet Trax and Honda HR-V. Check out the gallery for the latest glimpses of this Japanese CUV just days ahead of its full debut.
Evo pits Toyota GT86 vs. Mazda MX-5 Miata
Tue, Sep 8 2015The latest Deadly Rivals episode from Evo gets the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Toyota GT86 (our Scion FR-S) on track for a shakedown and a whole lot of drifting with Dan Prosser behind the wheel. The UK-spec coupes have slightly different power ratings than ours, but it's all close enough to be comparable. Their Miata has 158 horsepower (ours has 155), 148 pound-feet of torque, takes 7.3 seconds to run from naught to 60 62, and costs 22,695 pounds. The GT86, on the other hand, lists a 7.6-second dash to 60 62, and a base price of 25,000 pounds. The GT86 also weighs 400 pounds more than the Mazda. That's true in the States, too – curb weight for our MX-5 is 2,332 pounds, whereas the Scion FR-S comes in at 2,758 pounds. Both cars lauded for excellent shifting, but one of them has a better front end, a sweeter engine note, more controllable cornering behavior, and is faster by a tenth of a second around the test track. And Prosser doesn't mention it, but one has a lot more body roll. But it takes more than all that to make a winner, so check out the video above to see which is which.
