1983 Mazda RX7 GSL. Near perfect deep black paint over rust free/bondo free Florida body. Body has 159k (and may go up slightly as I still drive the car a few times per week); 12a motor has roughly 58k on full Atkins Rotary rebuild. Suspension is all new (Racing Beat springs and urethane bushings) and car drives super. 4-wheel discs; limited slip rear. Power windows, power brakes, sunroof with steel panel and rare glass panel, 5-speed manual trans, cruise (works) and JVC Arsenal am/fm/cd/mp3/bluetooth player. New Racing beat cat back exhaust (cat is deleted) and car is still really quiet. Everything is 100% and car is a pleasure to drive anywhere... for an older RX7, it corners like it's on rails even with the 13" tires. Selling as I need a larger car for more seating - must be sold, so if you're looking for a fully sorted first gen RX7, this is definitely worth looking at!
Motor fully rebuilt aprx 58k miles ago by Atkins - runs 100% with stock Nikki carb
Rat's nest removed due to failed solenoids (car starts/runs perfect and returns 21mpg all day with daily driving - pushes close to 30mpg on the highway)
New K&N drop in air filter
New driveshaft
New Racing Beat springs
New Racing Beat cat back exhaust
New cat delete mid pipe with resonator
New Racing Beat urethane suspension bushings throughout
New dual alternator pulley (air pump deleted)
New rotary aviation adapter for injecting 2 cycle oil from separate oil storage tank into the motor for better lubrication - easily removed/disabled to return to stock
2nd Gen fuse block installed under hood to do away with the problematic fusible links
Cosmetic issues - the original dash was covered with a replacement dashpad cover. It's starting to wrinkle a bit. Carpet in rear cargo area is faded from sun exposure. One area of the paint has odd crazing (which was even in the original paint before the car was stripped and repainted - so slight it's impossible for me to photograph - it's above the gas door and hasn't ever been noticed by anyone but me). Body plastic pieces (@ rear bumper ends) are starting to age warp a little. Car originally had A/C but was removed long before I acquired it.
Car draws incredible attention wherever it goes - ALWAYS drawing complements on the quality of the paint and regarding the overall condition of the car.
All prospective bidders are encouraged to call me with questions or to schedule a viewing of the car. If anyone would be interested in having a local Mazda dealer look at it for condition verification, feel free to call me between 9am and 10pm EST @ 716.250.8439. Additional photos of specific areas available on request. Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping issues.
Once again, this car must be sold, so feel free to make reasonable offers!

Miata driver pulls off hilariously diabolical move in fender-to-fender racing
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Racing is all about finding the little advantages over competitors that allow you to get ahead. Sometimes those are legitimate means - like being able to take advantage of a better line through a corner - and other times drivers get a little more creative for a leg up over opponents. Sometimes things might even go a little too far. Case in point: just watch the opening of this Mazda MX-5 Cup race from Silverstone in the UK.
According to the YouTube description, we're riding with James Rogers in this video, and he appears to be pretty talented behind the wheel. Rogers has a great start from fifth that has him in third within just a few corners. He starts stalking the top two drivers, who are already having a fantastic race themselves, but then we see that the person in second is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to win. Just watch the video, and you'll see what we mean. Bravo (?) to that racer for some very quick, albeit fiendish, thinking.
Xcar tries to figure out what makes the Miata so great
Tue, 12 Aug 2014Over the past 25 years and 3 model generations, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has shown that you don't have to be the best to be a massive success. The little, Japanese roadster has never been the absolute peak of automotive performance, but it's precise handling, good reliability and frugal running costs have helped make it a star. Autoblog recently tried to give you the experience of driving one on video, and now Xcar Films has made its own in an attempt to show what makes this droptop an icon.
As Xcar puts it, the Miata isn't the world's best sports car, but it is the world's favorite. When they were originally designing the roadster, Mazda's engineers took everything that made British droptops from the '60s great, and junked all of the stuff that made them a terror to own. The result was a car that would start up everyday with no fuss and get drivers wherever they needed to go with a huge grin on their face.
The fourth-generation Miata is imminently on the way for its September 3 unveiling, and the very early rumors indicate that Mazda doesn't plan to rock the boat too much with the latest one. It supposedly rides on a longer wheelbase and wider track but with the weight trimmed by over 200 pounds. Check out Xcar's video for a primer on MX-5 history and why the automotive world loves this little roadster.
Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.
