1985 Mazda Rx7 Gsl-se 13b Chumpcar Or Lemons Race Car on 2040-cars
Dubuque, Iowa, United States
1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE ChumpCar or LeMons Racer
PROVENANCE: "This is my 1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE ChumpCar racer. It finished 8th of 32 cars at the 24 hour ChumpCar race in 2010 at the Iowa Speedway in Newton and 14th of 65 cars at the 25.5 hour Championship race at the Iowa Speedway in 2011."
The RX-7 has 190,000 miles on it. It is a 13b fuel injected twin rotary engine with 5 speed manual transmission.
SAFTEY: • Autopower 12 point bolt in cage with a front welded re-enforced bar across the front dash. (worth about $1100 by itself) • Autopower Window Net • RCI 5 point racing harness • RCR Racing Seat (adjustable back and forth to accommodate different driver heights) • Fire Extinguisher • Rally Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel • Killswitch & Push button Start inside • Killswitch Outside • Tow Hooks MISC: • All Gauges work with exception of the fuel gauge (I have new sending unit) • All Lights and Defrost works (great for rain races) • Cross drilled and vented rotors with Ceramic Pads • Unique 15" Steel Wheels (2 sets) • Two 5 gallon fuel jugs • Lots of extra parts THE GOOD: This is a very solid car. I bought it from a guy in Madison, WI who had it stored from 1999 till I bought it in 2009. It has a title and is even has License plates registered to it in the State of Iowa. This is a remarkable well handling car. At the Iowa Speedway we could take any line into any corner and it stuck like glue. On the oval portion of the 25.5 hour race, it turned 29 second lap times and you only had to breathe the throttle going into turn 2. This car ran thru downpours without a single issue. You could steer the car easily with the gas due to the limited slip differential. Remarkable and solid braking performance. Not a ton of torque from the rotary but great high rpm power. This car is easy and a blast to drive! THE BAD: Has new 60k mile motor (questionable). The rear seal blew on the old motor getting it ready for a race last year. Everything is installed. Still working on getting the fuel pump and ignition to work. Needs exhaust pipe run from manifold to rear. THE UGLY: Has some dents from the last race thanks to overzealous drivers in an Acura Integra, Porsche 944, BMW 325i and a Subaru Imprezza (thanks guys!). It's only cosmetic and most dents will pop out. But it's a ChumpCar or LeMons racer and should look pretty to begin with. BONUS: Will thru in my Black RCI medium one piece Race Suit, RCI Race Gloves and size 9.5 Race Boots. Also have extra set (8 total) of P205/50R-15 tires and 15' Unique wheels too! If seriously interested, I would highly recommend calling me to discuss any concerns or questions. I will also be more than glad to send any pictures of anything you want to see. I love this car and have lots of great memories with her, but I have too many other toys and not enough time. . .
Thanks for looking!

Mazda Miata celebrates 25 years of rocking our worlds
Mon, 10 Feb 2014For its birthday it hasn't been profiled on 60 Minutes or been to Jay Leno's Garage, doesn't go on a retrospective tour of vintage racetracks or get a special Spyder Zagato edition. That doesn't mean we think any less of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the roadster with a simplicity that was as enjoyable as it was barely believable when it arrived in 1989. A quarter of a century and three generations later, the Miata remains the go-to roadster when you want easy, balanced and economical thrills.
It grew from a 116-horsepower speedster with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 2,116 pounds, to a 167-hp go-kart with a five-speed manual coming in at 2,480 pounds (in Sport guise). Along the way it's picked up hundreds of awards, including 14 nods on Car and Driver's "10Best" list, its most recent eight-year streak coming to an end last year, the Guinness Book of World Records title as "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" and innumerable trophies as weekend racer extraordinaire.
We'll see the fourth generation at next year's Chicago Auto Show, and we're certain to hear more about its 25-year milestone this year. Until that happens, enjoy the images above and the gallery and press release below.
Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3
Tue, 25 Feb 2014To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales. Fortunately for Mazda, they're selling well.
These days, the Japanese automaker is building the Mazda3 (known domestically as the Axela) in Japan, China, Thailand and, as of last month, in Mexico. The company's expanded global production capacity has helped Mazda reach four million units of the Mazda3 sold around the world since the first model was introduced over ten and a half years ago.
Over the course of that decade since its introduction in June 2003, Mazda has gone through three generations of Mazda3, the newest model benefiting from the company's Skyactiv technology and even encompassing a hybrid model in the Japanese Domestic Market.
Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The 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.
