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:
  • Good tested ignition Igniters
  • New Wheel Bearings front and rear
  • New Brakes (including Stop Tech Carbon-Kevlar performance brake pads, Performance DOT stainless-braided brake lines, Stop Tech Racing DOT4 brake fluid, Russel Speed Bleeders)
  • Energy Suspension bushing kit
  • Tokico Illumina Adjustable shocks
  • Racing Beat Springs
  • Nardi steering wheel and hub
  • Mechanical oil pressure/oil temperature gauges. (oil temperature needs a fitting to be hooked up) 
  • Swapped in later version 1986 RX7 transmission with Redline synthetic fluid
  • Carter fuel pump

Small issues:
  • Speedometer stopped working (and therefor cruise control isn't working) 
  • Reverse lights aren't working
  • Horn isn't working
  • Air Conditioning needs a recharge
  • Rear Differential needs service
  • Power steering pump is on its way out. 
  • Removed rear wiper motor assembly

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.

Mazda Miata 25th anniversary display is roadster heaven on Earth

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata, Mazda has put together a rather large display at its New York Auto Show booth, showing off significant models from the diminutive roadsters history.
The display represents a healthy split of volume models, with cars 14, 15 and 17 sitting alongside cars 500,000 and 700,000. There are also more than a few concept cars in the offering, such as the Super20 Concept we drove a few years back, as well as older offerings, like the Club Racer concept from the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the M-Speedster from the 1995 Chicago show and the M Coupe from the 1996 New York Auto Show.
We've put together a gallery of images of the historical Miata display, which you can view above. Take a look and then let us know which of Mazda's awesome roadsters is your favorite.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata has arrived

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The highly anticipated fourth-generation (ND) model made its official debut in Monterey, CA this evening, and while details are slim (as in, we have practically none), there's one big thing to talk about: less weight.
Yes, Mazda has confirmed that the new Miata sheds some 220 pounds over the model it replaces, and is "the most compact of any generation MX-5 so far." For those keeping track, that means the new MX-5 should weigh in somewhere around 2,200 pounds.
Mazda's Kodo design language is obvious here, with a seriously wide and low demeanor, and a mix of flowing lines and sharp angles. We don't have any powertrain details to report as of this writing, but Mazda says the full suite of Skyactiv technologies are onboard, and the motto in creating this car was "Innovate in order to preserve."

Mazda CEO closes door on talk of RX sports car revival

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

Some rumors in the auto industry simply refuse to die. Over the last decade, a few of the strongest have focused on Japan. A few years ago, we could have explained away the constant whispering over a new Toyota Supra, Acura NSX or Mazda RX-7 as nostalgia for Japan's golden era of performance. Today, though is different.
We already have the Nissan GT-R, and, thanks to the Toyota FT-1 Concept, a Supra successor finally appears to be on the way. Acura will someday, allegedly, deliver on its promise to put the NSX on sale. So where does that leave the third member of the Japanese performance trio mentioned above? Well, um, it still isn't happening.
"We don't have that kind of vehicle in our future product plan," Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai told Automotive News when asked about a successor to the rotary-powered RX line. "If you increase the number of segments, then the resources we can allocate to each will decline and that will prevent us from developing truly good products."
