Time Capsule 1987 Mazda Rx7 Only 76,000 Miles Unmodified Clean And Original on 2040-cars
Milltown, New Jersey, United States
|
1987 Mazda RX7 with the 13B Rotary engine. Only 76,8xx Miles. The car was owned by an older man(early 60's)before me. He owned it since about 12,000 miles. The car was driven by him on weekends and short vacation trips to the Poconos in PA. The car is clean inside and out. The exterior is clean, smooth, and shiny. The glass is so clean that it looks new. Between this and the door jams you can tell that this car lived a sheltered life. No rust holes. The chassis is clean. All aluminum suspension arms. Exhaust is stainless steel. The engine bay is very very clean. The interior shows very little signs of use. The drivers seat has no wear marks or cracks. The passenger seat has no wear on it. Door panels are clean. The dashboard has good color and no cracks. All of the carpet and headliner is clean with no defects. The engine starts easily and runs well. The exhaust does not smoke. The engine runs quiet and smooth. The idle is a little up and down which is a trait with the rotary engine and it flattens out as the engine warms up. The 5th and 6th port actuators work just as the should opening to provide extra power at 3,500 RPM. This car has a buzzer that goes off at 8,000 RPM because it does not vibrate like a piston engine. The power is very linear and smooth. Acceleration does not take much. Cruising speed does not require more than 1/4 throttle. Throttle response is much quicker than a piston engine. The transmission shifts just like you would want it to. The brakes are all new in all four corners. New rotors, pads, calipers, and hardware. Ceramic pads, Centric rotors, and Wagner Calipers. The calipers have been painted with three layers of black ceramic paint before installation. The car handles very well. Suspension and steering is very tight and makes no noise over bumps. I have all of the maintenance records for this car since new. I also have the window sticker. This car was over $28,000 new in 1987. Not Cheap. The title is in my name and must be transferred into the new owners name upon pickup. The title is clean. Some things that I forgot the mention. The car has two small dents on the hood that you can see at the right angle on a sunny day. This car has had the tires replaced due to old age and never tread wear. They are at the point where this should be done again even though there is plenty of tread left. Tire for this car are very cheap. I thought the new owner might want to change the wheels and tires anyway. This car is not new and do not expect it to be perfect. It is how ever an extremely clean older car. It gets a lot of looks when ever it is seen. It is ready for car shows as it sits. I have seen many of these cars and to find one in this condition that has never been driven hard or ripped apart and modified is very rare. This is that car. |

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Mazda launches 25th Anniversary Miata pre-order site, priced from $32,205
Fri, 02 May 2014Mazda made a big celebration of the MX-5 Miata at the 2014 New York Auto Show with a bunch of classic models on display. It capped off the model's 25th birthday with the announcement of the 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition and showed off the much-anticipated, next-generation version's chassis.
While we are still at least year away from the new Miata hitting the road, the anniversary edition is on its way and is limited to just 100 copies for the United States. The special cars start at $32,205, compared to $23,970 for the 2015 softtop model and $28,665 for the 2015 retractable hardtop version. There is an additional $795 destination charge for all of them.
To make sure everyone gets a chance to own the ceremonial convertible, Mazda has a countdown on its website until 10:25 AM PDT, May 20, 2014. When the day comes, 250 people can to register for the car, and the first 100 to be verified as buyers get the rare Miata. Those with multiple entries will be disqualified.
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
