I have a 1982 Mazda RX7 GS with a rarely seen carbureted 6 port induction 12A rotary engine. The car has 150k miles. The engine was installed in the mid 1990's as a in service replacement imported from Japan. This rare Mazda 6 port induction engine was never offered in the U.S.A. as a factory RX7 option. The mileage on the engine is unknown but my research from the past 2 owners (including the owner that installed the engine) reveals that it was not driven much since installation. There are no fluid leaks, does not smoke and has great compression, 130+ in both rotors. The average costs to overhaul a 12a rotary engine is around $3,000.00, much of a RX7's value is the condition of the engine and this one is in great shape. I have put about 2500 miles on this car with no major issues.

The known problems are the trip meter when reset will only run up to 10 miles and stops. The rear window defroster does not work, the tabs on the glass for the electrical connections have come off. The A/C blows cool but could use a can of Freon (R12). The manual windows roll up and down ok but need a little help to align correctly when reaching the top. The center console lid hinge is broken, I leave the lid off and use the open space for drinks etc since the car has no factory cup holders. The (outer) door window seals need to be replaced. The door seals are a bit rough but the car seals up well, I have noticed no water leaks to the interior during a hard rain. The dash has cracks in the area above the speedometer. The clutch may be getting a bit thin as it engages near the top of the travel and the car sometimes shutters when taking off from a stop but it shifts normally through all gears with no slippage. The seats are in good condition with a little tearing only on the side vinyl of the drivers seat. I have new black and red seat covers that are included with the sale. The car has a very nice aftermarket Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo. As you can see from the pictures the interior IMHO is in way above average condition for a 32 year old car.

I have replaced both rear wheel brake cylinders, installed new idler arm bushings and a new windshield. Performed tune up with new plugs, wires, cap & rotor. With the exception of the clutch issues the car starts easily & runs and drives great, the transmission (synchros) and rear end run smooth and quiet. The body has a few bumps and bruises with a few spots of light surface rust, nothing serious or structural. The left rear quarter panel needs some finish detail work before painting. Please review all the pictures in detail as they are part of the description.

This car is not a pristine museum piece but all things considered has been a nice daily driver for me. If you are serious about getting a good 1st generation RX7 daily driver then you must take a close look at this one. Please email with any questions. The reason I am selling is that I have too many cars, about a dozen total and 6 are RX7's. Others I may be selling in the future are a 1985 GSL-SE with 82K original miles, a 1983 S car with some GS options and 123k original miles and last but not least a near perfect time capsule 1983 GSL survivor car with only 45k original miles that has been stored indoors all it's life with only 2 owners, I am the 2nd. Thanks for looking and hope to find this car a good new home soon.

Please take a good look and ask all questions as the sale will be final.

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.

Mazda Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.

2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk

Fri, 02 May 2014

Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.
