Up for sale is my Wifes 91 RX-7.

Mileage is around 98k.

Bought this one last year for my wife, fixed it up a little but she's moving on to a different car this year and I have too many other toys, so time to make room in the garage.

Here's the story with the car. Bought this from a old lady in NJ last year who owned the car for about 12 years and put on about 9k in mileage for the 12 years she owned it. She basically used it for a summer car as she is a realtor and took it out when she went to property showings in the summer time.

Reason she sold it was that her husband bought her a white one with lower mileage. This car was neglected for about 2-3 years due to the fact that she now had the newer white one in her garage and this one was parked outside to be exposed to the elements.

I have added pictures of when I bought the car from her. It's pretty much in the same shape with a ton of cleaning done and a few upgraded listed below.

Top is ripped on both sides, not severely, but it will need a new top at some point. The pictures of how the top is ripped is about the same on both sides.

Paint on exterior is faded and peeling on both doors. This is due to the car being outside in the summer time from the previous owner.

Little fender bender and home fix on the drivers side rear where the bumper is mounted to the rear quarter. It can be fixed at the body shop and does not require any welding. (bought it this way)

I've done two oil changed since I bought it. One when I got the car home and another when the car was about 1,000 mile into the oil change.

Spark plugs and wires (NGK) were replaced last year spring when I gave the car a small tune up.

TII Hood was painted with rattle can paint, and it needs some body work to get in line, so this is not a perfect hood, the scoop fin is in great condition with no stress cracks on the fiberglass.

Suspension has been upgraded to Tokico blues on Racing Beat Dropping Springs all the way around. This is brand new from last year spring and has less than 3k miles on the suspension.

Tires in the rear are brand new and basically been driven on for about 2000 miles as that is all we drove it last year summer...Front tires have about 85% tread left on it. so they are semi brand new also..

Stock mufflers and Y pipe have been scrapped. I have upgraded to a Racing Beat Cat back. The 5th and 6 port actuators are still working and all the OEM catalytic converters are still on the car and in good condition.

Interior is in decent shape, no big damages, The leather seats have some cracks and there is a split separation on the driver side seat. Overall I'd give the seats a 7 out of 10. I have seen worse as this is not my first convertible.

I do have the original radio with OEM CD player for the car and it will come with it. I upgraded to something that has Aux in and USB for comfort...

Power antenna will need to be replaced. I have the replacement OEM used antenna to come with the car.

The TII hood will come with the car and the original aluminum hood also. Buyer's responsibility to transport the spare hood.

Air filter was replaced last year spring also.

BBS wheels come with the OEM Key for the center caps.

No idiot lights on the car, everything works and runs as it should. Heat, Defrosters, AC even works. Car passed NYS safety inspection without any issues.

Engine bay is bone stock with NO modifications whatsoever which is the way I wanted to keep it for my wife.

Clutch will need to be bled. It's not mandatory... but It needs to be done, feels a little too squishy for my taste and I've driven too many rx-7's already to know what they should feel like.

There is a clear NY title under my name with NO liens.

Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The official photos of Mazda's Hazumi concept leaked out yesterday, but we have finally gotten to see it in real life at the Geneva Motor Show. Our view is that its Kodo lines looks as good on the diminutive car's sheet metal as they did in photos.
The Hazumi was designed to appear to be bursting with energy, and it seems to deliver. While Mazda refuses to actually say that this is the concept for the next Mazda2, it makes it clear that the little hatchback is "foreshadowing Mazda's next-generation subcompact car." We can all read between the lines.
Hazumi also introduces the new Skyactiv-D 1.5-liter diesel engine but details about it are scant at the moment. The specs for the engine are still unannounced, but the company promises that it is both very efficient and has lots of torque for its size. Mazda is also promising that its Mazda Connect infotainment system will be available in the car too. Scroll down for the brief press release a brace of videos that celebrate the tiny concept's arrival.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Takata airbag recall spreads to China with 42k Mazda sedans

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

The scope of the problem with the faulty airbag inflators from Takata continues to broaden and is now reaching China, as well. Mazda is recalling 42,732 Mazda6 units there, produced by its local joint venture partner China FAW Car Company, to replace the front passenger airbags. It comes as part of Mazda's recall of nearly 160,000 vehicles worldwide, including about 34,600 in the US, according to Reuters.
This is the same problem that caused seven automakers in the US to recall an estimated 2.1 million vehicles in late June. The airbag inflators can potentially explode instead of deploying the airbag, which hampers the bag's inflation. In some cases occupants are also hit by the metal shrapnel, which can cause further injuries. In the US, Mazda is repairing the 2003-2007 Mazda6 (pictured above), 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6, 2004 MPV and 2004-2008 RX-8 originally sold in or currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.
This is hardly the first instance of this issue. Since 2001, there have been 20 recalls tied to the exploding airbags supplied by Takata. The problem is possibly linked to the propellant in the inflators, but there's no conclusive evidence of that yet. Most of the automakers in the US limited the most recent recalls only to a few humid states because moisture potentially exacerbated the problem.
