1984 Mazda RX-7 GS



When you think of 80s Performance Imports what comes to mind ?
This car is at the top of the list and in case you havent noticed
they are getting much harder to find, esp this nice and this original !

Up for auction a nice clean unmolested First GEN RX7
the car that changed the look for Mazda for people to take notice 
and say "yeah, I could drive that !!" 
this is a 1 owner car, was originally bought new outta Santa Cruz CA
and owned by an older woman since day 1.
Been well kept and maintained its whole life and what Id call
a nice unmolested survivor. Soon after it left CA it came to AZ where
its was garage kept most of its life. Very little sun damage and
zero rust on the body or floors, RX7s like this are getting harder to
find these days. The original paint still actually in nice shape over
most of the car and chances are it could be buffed out and brought
back to look nice with an afternoon detail job.

Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from
someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and
GREAT FEEDBACK.
Ive been driving the car around now for the last week
almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs
great every time and is a blast to drive.

Had receipts from original owner showing all the oil changes
and repairs it needed since 84. Nice history tracked over its
whole life. Car even comes with the original window sticker 
and misc pamphlets given to the owner when new.

DRIVETRAIN: Original 12A Rotory  runs great with plenty of 
power in every gear.   ALL stock - un molested just the
way Mazda built it. Whenever something broke or wore out 
it was repaired and kept on the road. Under the hood looks
almost like when it was new. Mild oil leaks under the car
but they are small. Shocks do feel a little worn out and soft
but the brakes and rest of the car feel better then a car this old.
Not sure where its suppose to idle out, but to me it idles a little
lower then normal, but mostly when its cold. Plugs, cap and rotor
are new. Fires up fine whether its hot or cold. 
Power of the little rotary motor is just like it should be and
transmission feels great. Cruise control not working due to a
broken vacuum nipple off the canister under the hood.
Runs great, the gas in the tank may be 6m old from not being
driven much lately, so I think once whats in there is run out and
fresh 91 is put in it, it will only run even better.

INTERIOR: Doesnt look like a car that is almost 30 yrs old
thanks to being in the garage most of its life. Check out the
Pics, which show how nice the car still is.  Its always
been taken care of and kept clean and shows little wear.
The worst spot, the dr side door panel by the window which
would be a really easy fix if you wanted to.
Sunroof I think may even be a pop out, not sure. Everything
works best I can tell inside the car. Even the original factory
stereo etc works well and the dash was never cut up or trashed.
Glass is all great around, may be one chip in the windshield.
AC all connected and worked last summer, but now 
it is blowing warm not cold. 

SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rims
Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you
looked hard. But no weird noises , but Im sure the shocks are
old, the ride is a little mushy.  Tires decent, and should get you by for 
another yr. The great thing about taking apart a rust free
car like this when it comes time to work on it, you have
less hassles with broken bolts etc making the future repairs
and maintenance that much easier. Brake feel great too.


BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings.
The 2 worst spots : LF Fender and RR wheel well (see pics)
Trunk struts work well,  this is a great Driver as
is or would be an easy car to restore back to original.
Honestly, if you buffed the paint out and just drove it you could
keep the car still 100% original and in most cases thats way 
better then just tossing new paint on a car to be pretty.
They are only original once !!

Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?

Tue, Jun 30 2015

After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.

Mazda recalls 193k CX-9 crossovers over corroded suspension

Wed, Aug 5 2015

An issue with the suspension on the CX-9 has prompted Mazda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 193,484 vehicles across the United States. The campaign specifically affects units from the 2007-2014 model years, manufactured between October 24, 2006, and December 28, 2013. In those affected vehicles, the ball joints in the front suspension may corrode due to water leaking into the fitting. According to the statement below, if the ball joint rusts, the front lower control arm could separate, resulting in a loss of steering control. And needless to say, that could lead to a crash. To repair the issue, Mazda will have to replace both the left and right lower control arms, and will naturally do so free of charge, but will undertake the repairs in stages. First, owners of the affected vehicles will receive a notification that a recall campaign is under way. Then they'll get a second letter when the parts are ready and they can bring their vehicles into their local dealers. The company will start first with 2007-09 vehicles, specifically those registered in the snowy states of the Northeast and Midwest. Specifically: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington, DC. (Oddly, states in the the western portion of the Midwest, as well as the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest, were not included in that initial phase. Nor was Alaska, for that matter.) After that they'll call in 2010-14 models in the same states before undertaking repairs on vehicles in other areas to the west and south.

The affected vehicles have front suspension ball joints that may corrode from water leaking into the fitting. CONSEQUENCE: Over time, the ball joint corrosion may result in the front lower control arm separating from the ball joint, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Mazda recalls 1.37 million older vehicles for ignition switch short [UPDATE]

Fri, Oct 23 2015

UPDATE: Mazda has confirmed to Autoblog that NHTSA's figures and list of effected models are accurate. Mazda is recalling 1,368,500 older vehicles in the US that date as far back as the late '80s because a potential short circuit in the ignition switch could cause a fire. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the models include: 1990-1995 323 1993-1998 626 1993-1995 929 1989-1998 MPV 1993-1997 MX-6 1992-1993 MX-3 1990-1998 Protege Mazda reports that over time the grease around the switch's contact points can carbonize and become conductive, which can eventually lead to a short circuit. In some cases this results in smoke, but it could also lead to a fire. According to company spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to Autoblog, there're no accidents, injuries, or fires in the US. Once the vehicle is running, the potential fault also doesn't affect drivability. Documents from NHTSA (as a PDF), indicate there was a fire in one of these vehicles in Japan in 2002 that could have been linked to this issue. The recall should begin in December. In its announcement of the issue below, Mazda reports 1.2 million vehicles affected and includes the 1990-1996 323/Protege. Autoblog has reached out to the company to understand the discrepancy.

In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat. CONSEQUENCE: If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8715J.
