I've decided to move on from the FC3S, as I may have an addition to the family soon... I've owned this car for over 3 years, and nearly every aspect of the car has been rebuilt with the exception of the bodywork, which was completed prior my purchase from a gentleman in Virginia. The RX7 convertible was not offered with a turbocharged engine in the US, which makes this a relatively rare find.
List of mods:
Body:
Full RE-Amemiya FC2000 Bodykit, with the bumpers and sideskirts molded on.
3000GT wing, painted to match
Offset blue 3M stripe done by EastCoastWrap in Jacksonville, Fl.
Aluminum Turbo2 hood.
Roll bar, painted to match.
Shaved door handles, antenna, and gas tank door.
S5 Taillights with diffusers removed.
Interior:
1991 (S5) black dash, carpet, and console - all in excellent condition.
Original seats recovered in black leather last year - and this car only sees the road once a month. They're essentially brand new. Headrest speakers fully functional.
Jensen Double Din Navigation unit (plays SD cards, accepts AUX in, etc.) Rockford fosgate speakers behind seats.
Custom triple gauge mount in place of the "idiot cluster" which currently holds two AFR gauges (Autometer narrowband, and AEM Wideband), and an Autometer Boost gauge.
Brand new shift boot. New carpet.
New convertible top.
Momo JET Steering Wheel
Alpine 12" type R subwoofer, Alpine amplifiers as well!
Drivetrain:
1991 JDM 13BT, THIS ENGINE WAS REBUILT LESS THAN 200 MILES AGO... The Front/Center/Rear Irons have the later, thicker dowel cast area... almost brand new!
1991 JDM T2 Transmission, works perfectly, shifter bushings replaced 2 months ago.
Mazdatrix Short shifter
Megasquirt 2 Engine Managment System. THIS STILL NEEDS TO BE TUNED - when I rebuilt the engine, I changed injector sizes to 720cc primaries, and 1000cc secondaries.
Mazda Competition engine mounts
BNR Stage 2 Turbocharger
RotaryWorks Front Mount Intercooler, with a genuine Greddy BOV.
Full Racing Beat REV TII exhaust system, from downpipe to mufflers.
Custom paint on engine, manifolds, etc.
RB Lightweight Steel Flywheel
Brand new Exedy HD clutch
Brand new clutch hydraulics
Battery relocated to the trunk.
Various Banzai Racing blockoff plates
Godspeed Aluminum Radiator with a VERY CAPABLE e-fan (controlled by the ECU)
Suspension/Wheels:
Mazdatrix Strut tower bar
KSport Kontrol Pro 32 way coilovers, with adjustable camber plates in the front. (Adjustable ride height as well...)
Full Energy Suspension Master Kit - Urethane Bushings
League 17 inch Staggered Mesh Wheels, ET+40 offset.
Powerslot F/R Brake rotors, rear calipers freshly rebuilt.
NO LEAKS!! Whether oil, coolant, or otherwise!
The car currently runs and drives fine, I've tuned the base map to the point where it is very drivable, but is not safe to boost in until more tuning is done.
I'm sure there are some things missing here, but this car is well worth the money considering the work put into it! I'm sad to see it go, but I hope someone will enjoy it as much as I have!
THIS CAR TIED FOR FIRST PLACE AT SPRING BREAK NATIONALS IN DAYTONA BEACH IN THE TUNER JAM "ULTIMATE" DIVISION!
THIS CAR WON FIRST PLACE AT KMS DRIFT CAR SHOWS
Also took 2nd and 3rd in Sibling Rivalry 7 and 8 in Jacksonville.

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.
Mazda begins building Mazda3 in Mexico for US
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With fluctuations in international currencies and rising shipping costs to take into account, foreign automakers can't get away with building cars overseas and selling them in North America as easily as they used to. Particularly with inexpensive mainstream models. And given the benefits of cheaper labor and free trade under NAFTA, many have opted to assemble their cars for the North American market in Mexico. That's why the likes of Toyota, Mercedes and BMW have all opened plants in Mexico. And now Mazda has followed suit.
Ground was initially broken for Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operations at Salamanca in the state of Gunajuato back in 2011, but production has just now gotten under way. The first vehicle to roll off the line? A Mazda3 sedan destined for the United States. Soon, the plant will begin production of the next Mazda2 as well, selling it alongside its larger counterpart across the Americas and in Europe as production expands to 230,000 units annually. For more information, see the official press release below.
Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am
Tue, 15 Jan 2013It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
