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

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.

2014 Mazda6 i-Eloop to net 40 mpg hwy, 28 mpg city

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

Even before Mazda unveiled the 2014 Mazda6, it had introduced its innovative, non-hybrid i-Eloop (Intelligent Energy Loop) brake regeneration system. This technology converts kinetic energy into usable electricity using the alternator, a DC/DC converter and a capacitor mounted just behind the front fascia. During deceleration, the alternator captures energy that is then stored in the capacitor, which can later be used to directly power electric devices like climate control and audio systems. When i-Eloop power is used, it reduces the load on the engine and helps to conserve fuel.
Now available on the Mazda6, i-Eloop is only available on the $29,695 Grand Touring trim level as a part of the $2,080 GT Technology Package, meaning that buyers desiring i-Eloop will have to spend at least $31,775 (not including destination). The added price of this technology should be worth it for those looking for optimal fuel economy as the i-Eloop, combined with the package's active grille shutters, will bump the sedan's fuel economy numbers up to 28 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg highway - both are improvements of 2 mpg over the standard Mazda6 Grand Touring. The GT Technology Package also includes a Sport mode, lane departure warning, high beam control, radar cruise control and forward obstruction warning - the latter two technologies are currently offered in a $900 package that is being discontinued.
i-Eloop will eventually be offered on other Mazda products including the 2014 Mazda3. Scroll down for the official press release on the Mazda6's fuel-saving i-Eloop technology.

Mazda reports highest profits in its 94-year history

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

We may only be a third of the way through 2014, but for Japanese companies, March 31 marked the end of fiscal 2014, and it was a banner financial year for Mazda's global operations. The Japanese independent saw its highest global operating profits in its nearly 100-year history. Its global operating profits were up a huge 238 percent. Yes, a 238 percent increase over 2012 to 1.36 billion euros ($1.88 billion), eclipsing the brand's previous best year, 2008, by 12 percent. Net earnings, revenue and global sales volume also saw increases over the last fiscal year.
What's most impressive, though, is where Mazda saw improvement. The notoriously rough European market was rather kind to the Zoom-Zoom brand, where sales increased 25 percent to 163,000 units. That figure was bolstered by a 35-percent sales increase in Great Britain and a 20-percent jump in Germany, Europe's two largest markets. Japanese sales, meanwhile, were up a respectable 13 percent, to 244,000 units. In China, Mazda saw a 12 percent bump.
Notice we aren't talking about North American sales? That's because Mazda only saw a moderate, five-percent gain in the New World, with sales climbing to 391,000 units in the US, Canada and Mexico. This is particularly disappointing considering Mazda has launched three critically acclaimed products (CX-5, Mazda6 and most recently, Mazda3) for the North American market over the past two fiscal years. Still, it isn't a particular reason to be concerned, as IHS industry analyst Stephanie Brinley notes. "Five percent isn't terrible," Brinley told Autoblog, saying that Mazda should see a bump in 2014 as the Mazda3 picks up steam.

Mazda announces Takata expansion in US to 472k vehicles [UPDATE]

Fri, Jun 5 2015

Update: Mazda is revising the total number of vehicles affected by its Takata airbag inflator recall downward to 464,684 units, compared to the original NHTSA documents showing 472,056. According to Mazda Public Affairs Manager Tamara Mlynarczyk to Autoblog, "It is my understanding that Mazda Japan will be submitting a revised Part 573 on Monday that reflects our numbers." The company's official statement on the recall is now included below. Mazda is the latest automaker in the US to officially announce the details of its expanded Takata airbag inflator recall. The company is broadening its campaign to cover a total of 472,056 vehicles. Mazda's airbag inflator recall covers now the front driver's side for the 2003-2008 Mazda6 produced between May 29, 2002, and May 5, 2008, the 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 from between April 10, 2003, and February 18, 2008, and the 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 made between August 4, 2005, and June 29, 2007. Among these three models there are 444,907 units affected. This is an expansion from of the previous total of about 330,000 examples from 2004-2008. The passenger-side airbag of the 2004-2006 B-Series pickup is also being recalled for those with build dates between April 17, 2003, and May 2, 2006. There are 27,149 of these vehicles in need of replacement parts. Takata's airbag inflator recalls have affected 34 million vehicles nationwide from 11 automakers. In a recent hearing before Congress, Takata said it was producing 740,000 replacement kits a month and hoped to grow that to a million. Other suppliers have also started making the parts.
