Non Running - Lots Of Parts on 2040-cars

Year:1987 Mileage:999999 Color: is rough looking with the clear coming off and was so far down the to do list to worry about

Grove, Oklahoma, United States

Grove, Oklahoma, United States

I am putting a 1987 RX7 TII up for sale as a project or for parts.  The car has a lot invested in it, but is no longer something I am interested in.  I can get car to start by putting a little fuel into the chamber and the tuning shop had it running off starting fluid - has spark and compression but no fuel.  Oil has been 

Non-original motor, rebuilt over a year ago, compression seems and has been stated to me as ok.   

New Parts: Walbro 255 fuel pump, Haltech Sprint RE programmable ECU, Clutch, Clutch Master and Slave cylinders, Resurfaced flywheel, Aeromotive 13129 Fuel pressure regulator and gauge, Motor mounts, Starter, Radiator, Remanufactured 550cc Fuel injectors.   

New Parts Internal: Apex, Side, and Corner Seals from Atkins.  Soft seals and O-rings.  Engine is complete, alternator only accessory hooked up, AC in box, smog pump gone, car does not have power steering (from factory I believe).

Extra Parts:
Spare 5 speed Turbo transmission - unknown condition
New passenger area carpet in box - black
NXS turbo timer
Spare stock Turbo - needs rebuilt
AC compressor - unhooked - unknown condition

Car had a suspension kit on it from Suspension Techniques when I bought it. 
 It was behind some guys house where it had sat for at least 3 years, the owner pulled the motor and sold it for scrap.  Replacement motor bought out of a parts car, checked vin was a 87 or 88 turbo 2.  Rebuilt using parts ordered through Atkins including new 2mm Apex seals.  Car was previously in Arizona, now Oklahoma, no rust issues.  Body fairly strait with peeling paint and a few dents (passenger headlight cover).

Car has been professionally fitted with a Haltech sprint RE - has not been tuned.  Shop also fabbed block off plates (OMP still attached though).  Rats nest still attached because I still have the hard fuel lines hooked up.

Lots of people say fuel issues and I choose not to believe them; so a quick list of things I have tried or corrected.  Had original low impedance injectors cleaned, wiped out bottom of tank, corrected fuel lines that were hooked up wrong, replaced fuel pressure regulator (fpr), replaced stock FPR replacement with Areomotive and made sure to get gauge, checked grounds, leads, fuses, and resistance on fuel injectors, bought high impedance fuel injectors.  Rechecked that injectors enabled in haltech.  Good pressure in the fuel rails and seems like injectors are getting ground signal that the haltech does.

Known faults:
No Fuel
Cracked front windshield
Driver seat poor to fair, passenger seat bad
Car has dents and the clear is peeling (exterior is rough looking with the clear coming off and was so far down the to do list to worry about, I make no promises about it except that I have been under it and around it plenty and haven't seen rust - flaking or holes)
Harness for gauge cluster needs rewiring (in passenger compartment even with gauges on the firewall)
guage cluster bezel broken
plastic pieces surrounding steering column missing
No carpet for hatch compartment
Tires hold air but are too small
Master cylinder for brakes needs replacing and brakes bled - E-brake only one working at the moment
Included odometer is a replacement and does not reflect actual miles which are unknown
Has some wires that need cleaning up, the hoses for the intercooler need replaced, and a small list of other things that I was saving till after I got it running.

I would be better off parting it out, but space and time are better reserved for other things right now.  I have tried to put 100% about the car on here but easier thought than done.  I will be happy to answer any questions about the car, but if I need to be with the car it will have to wait till the weekend.  Oklahoma Title clear and in my name.  Car is black tagged through next month - June 2014.  

The first three pictures are from this month, the others are 6 months or older.

Car is As-is, and all misc parts related to the car will go with it.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar gets first win at Road Atlanta

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Mazda has a long motorsports history, and one that is peppered with fascinating cars. The latest chapter in Mazda's racing story has just been written, as Joel Miller and Andrew Carbonell have driven the Visit Florida Racing Mazda6 Skyactiv-D to the car's first ever victory at the Rolex Grand-Am GX race at Road Atlanta. The win marks the first ever for Mazda's diesel-burning, production-car based Skyactiv-D racer, and the first win for a diesel-powered car in a Grand-Am event.
In fact, it was a particularly good day for the Mazda Motorsports team, as a Mazda6 also picked up the third finishing spot at Road Atlanta. Director of Mazda Motorsports, John M. Doonan, said of the racecar, "We've always said that the best street cars make the best racecars, and, with more than half of the components in the race engine being shared with the street engine, this program is a solid proof-point."
SpeedSource Engineering, which helped to build the Mazda6 racer, was greatly heartened by the car's performance in just it's fourth-ever race. Owner Sylvain Tremblay called the victory, "a tribute to the thousands of hours of hard work over many months," continuing, "The normal plan with a new car is to spend the first year in development, the second year seeking race wins, and challenging for a championship in year three. We are already at our year-two status after four races. We can't wait to get to the Belle Isle course in Detroit for round five."

Fiat 124 spied with top down

Sun, Sep 27 2015

With fall officially here, the days are rapidly running out for much of the country to put the top down and enjoy a convertible. Fiat apparently wants to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts, given these fresh spy shots of the 124 Spider testing with the roof down. In terms of styling, these photos show the droptop with an extremely similar look to the ones from July. The roadster still appears to have rounded headlights and a wide grille up front, which the kidney-shaped cladding does nothing to hide. The hood bulge continues to be there, too, and so is the spiderweb-pattern camouflage. However, these new shots let us check out the roll hoops that are visible with the top out of the way, and we even get to see the manual roof in operation. Also, note there are now dual exhausts at the rear, rather than the quad tips from before. Underneath all this camo and cladding, we know that the 124 Spider shares underpinnings with the new Mazda MX-5 Miata. The engine remains a mystery, but competing rumors suggest the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the current 500 Abarth or the 1.7-liter turbo four from the Alfa Romeo 4C. Thankfully, an answer might not be too far away because the roadster is mooted to debut this year, possibly at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. With the latest Miata receiving high praise from critics, the motoring world soon gets to find out whether Fiat can find any room for improvement. Related Video:

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
