1983 Mazda Rx7, Gsl, 4 Port 13b, Everything In Great Shape on 2040-cars
Greenfield, Massachusetts, United States
I am the second owner. I purchased the car in 1987 in California. It was my daily driver until 2000. I gradually modified the car over 26 years I owned it.
Shocks were replace 3 times, I think it currently has KYBs in front and Koni in rear with heavy duty sway bars from racing beat and a shock tower bracket. Transmission was replaced in 1992 with a stock 5 speed from Mazda In 1997 I installed a 13B 4 port motor with a stage II Port and polish, Dynamic Balancing , rear graved oil ring, high volume oil Pump, electric cooling fan that is thermostatically controlled. I replaced this motor again with the same in 2005 and it has been running perfectly. Car has a light weight fly wheel that was balanced with the new motor and a Centerforce III clutch. Motor winds past 8000 RPM and is getting just under 200 HP. It sounds great at high RPM. It is running a Makuni Side draft Carburetor, headers that have been heat wrapped Replaced everything that could possibly be replaced over the years to make it run and look great. It is a great drivers car. New Head lights, new pedals, alarm system, Momo wheel and shift knob. New speakers, new battery, maintenance done this summer. The leather seats are starting to show some ware and the drivers seat has some surface cracks in the leather. The Air conditioning was disconnected in 2005. It had been running but since it has not been used in 7 years it might need work. It is all still hooked up except the pulley. The sound system Nakamichi TD1, top of the line for that error and it will play an IPod I now live in Colorado and the Car is currently in western Mass, in Greenfield, I am not completely sure or the exact milage as of the posting I am not able to look at the car, I know that it is close I purchased an 89 Porsche and after 26 years I am ready to let go of the Mazda |

2016 Mazda CX-3 is a 2 cute ute
Tue, 18 Nov 2014One day removed from our latest round of spy photos, Mazda has finally lifted the veil on its 2016 CX-3 crossover, giving us our very first glimpse at the Mazda2-based entry into the rapidly expanding world of subcompact crossovers.
Mazda's KODO design language is once again on display, presenting some increasingly familiar styling touchstones including a five-point grille that integrates neatly with the front headlights to present an almost protruding snout that's both clean and complex. Like previous KODO designs, the CX-3's profile features swoopy character lines that highlight the wheel arches and a higher beltline. Mazda has cleverly chosen to black out the CX-3's D-pillar in favor of a floating roof look, a design decision that adds to the model's fashionable styling. It's the rear of the design that borrows most heavily from the Mazda2, largely in the shape of the headlights and rear hatch.
Globally, under that fashionable sheetmetal sits Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder that can be mated to a six-speed manual or automatic. Unfortunately, in North America, it looks like we'll only get the automatic. Regardless of gearbox, power can be sent to an optional next-gen all-wheel-drive system that uses the active torque control system found on the Mazda CX-5. Like the Mazda2, front-drive is standard.
Mazda goes on engineer hiring binge as recovery picks up speed
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Japan's larger automakers - companies like Toyota, Honda and Nissan - have tremendous engineering talent at their disposal. That's largely because, selling as many cars as they do, they've got more revenues to tap into. Logic might dictate, then, that smaller automakers like Mazda, which no longer has the deep pockets afforded to it by its former partnership with Ford, might have less of a budget and workforce for engineering. But Mazda has been raking in record profits, and it plans on cashing those revenues in by hiring a substantial new pool of engineers.
According to Automotive News, Mazda is preparing to hire as many as 185 new engineers over the next two years - almost four times as many as the 50 engineers it previously targeted. Many of those engineers will be put to work developing the second-generation, Skyactiv 2 technologies that are on the drawing board while the first round of Skyactiv features are still being rolled out.
The boost in recruitment is enabled by a positive fiscal year that ended last March, marking the first profits Mazda had logged in four years. Sources anticipate that the fiscal year culminating at the end of this month will mark the company's most profitable yet, netting over a billion dollars to eclipse the fiscal year that ended in 2008 when it recorded $872.5 million in profits.
Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.
