1985 Mazda Rx7 Gsl-se on 2040-cars
Antioch, California, United States
|
I am selling a white 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE. This model has limited-slip differential and four wheel disc brakes with the more popular 4x114.3 bolt pattern and more robust wheel bearings.
It has a REBUILT 1.3L 13B EGI engine. Runs great! Doesn't flood, never overheats, great oil pressure, good voltage etc. All the smog equipment is present and functional. Will pass smog. I've driven it to Los Angeles and back with no issues. Gets 23mpg highway. After the break in, converted to Idemitsu Full Synthetic Rotary Engine Oil, K&N air and oil filters, always used Zerex G-05 coolant with distilled water also. Major Repairs/Upgrades:
Small issues:
Exterior: I'd rate the condition of the body as a 7 out of 10. It is straight with no major dents. The worst damage it has is from previous owner not knowing where to properly place the jack stands. However, the alignment specs on this car are spot on, which is a great sign that there was no major accident damage. The vent between the wipers in front of the windshield is a bit bent. Being that it is a California car there are some spots of surface rust by the bumpers, headlights, sunroof hinges, etc. I took pictures of all the noticeable spots of rust. Paint is in fair condition. Interior: Probably a 5 out of 10. All the buttons/switches work, but the seats are torn, the carpet is worn in some spots, and a lot of the plastic trim is broken off, etc. The heater works good. Original stereo wasn't working and I haven't gotten around to putting in a new one yet. The speakers I'm sure are old and probably bad. |

2014 Mazda3 officially rated at 30/41 mpg, priced from $16,945*
Wed, 24 Jul 2013It's hard not to be smitten with the 2014 Mazda3; after all, just look at it. But beyond its slick lines, we found the new compact hatch to be a pretty remarkable steer, offering up good levels of comfort and refinement, not to mention functionality and engagement. Now, there's more reason to like the 2014 Mazda3, as we've just learned that the car will officially be rated at 30 miles per gallon city and 41 mpg highway.
That 30/41 rating is for the Mazda3 sedan fitted with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the manual transmission retains the 41-mpg highway number, but drops the city digits to 29. Hatchback models with the 2.0-liter engine achieve 29/40 mpg with the manual 'box and 30/40 with the automatic.
Mazda also offers a larger 2.5-liter inline-four in the 3, and while a six-speed automatic will be the only transmission available with this engine at launch, the automaker has confirmed that a manual is coming shortly. With the 6AT and 2.5, the Mazda3 sedan is rated at 28/39 mpg, or 29/40 with the company's i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Hatchback models shrink those numbers to 28/37 and 29/39 mpg, with and without i-Eloop, respectively.
Takashi Yamanouchi to retire as Mazda chairman
Mon, 12 May 2014Takashi Yamanouchi has been with Mazda for a long time. He signed on with the Japanese automaker in April 1967 - one month after graduating from Keio University - and rose through the ranks over the years. By 1996 he was named to the company's board of directors. In 2008 he was named president and CEO, an office he held until 2013, after which he handed over the day-to-day reins to Masamichi Kogai and took up the seat at the head of the board room to serve as the company's chairman. But now, after 47 years working for Mazda, Yamanouchi-san is retiring at the age of 69.
During his tenure as CEO and then as chairman, Yamanouchi was credited with growing Mazda's business despite unfavorable fluctuations in exchange rates, opening the company's first plant in Mexico, and spearheading the development of Mazda's Skyactiv technologies and Kodo design language.
In his place, current vice chairman Seita Kanai will take over as chairman. The changing of the guard will take place after the annual shareholders' meeting on June 24.
Next Mazdaspeed3 could look this good
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Mazda showed off its brand-new 2014 Mazda3 at an event in New York City earlier this week, and we have to say, at first blush, we're pretty impressed. It looks fantastic - like a smaller, hatch'd version of the already sleek Mazda6 sedan that went on sale earlier this year. And with a 200-pound weight reduction, efficient Skyactiv gasoline engines underhood and Mazda's usual focus on driving dynamics above all, we're willing to bet that the new Three will be a pretty decent steer.
Of course, being enthusiasts, we're already setting our sights on the next-generation Mazdaspeed3, rendered here by artist Theo Chin. To our eyes, it's not a very imaginative transformation, but is likely a spot-on rendering for what the next car will look like. And it's really, really hot.
While Mazda hasn't exactly confirmed that the new Speed3 will be coming, sources within the automaker have indicated that a third-generation version of the MS3 is under development. Thing is, the Japanese automaker wants to give the standard Mazda3 some time to grow in the market, so we might not see the new Speed3 until something like 2016, with a possible diesel version to arrive before then.
