1991 Mazda Rx-7 Convertible Convertible 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars

Year:1991 Mileage:98000 Color: is faded and peeling on both doors
Location:

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.

Mazda6 diesel delayed until April

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Diesel enthusiasts waiting on the new Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will have to wait a bit longer. The shapely fuel-efficient four-door has just had its North American launch pushed back to April, due to delays in emissions testing. Mazda had originally planned to launch the Mazda6 diesel before the end of this year, making the four- to five-month delay a rather serious one.
Mazda's senior vice president of US operations, Robert Davis, told Mazda employees in a letter obtained by Automotive News that, "final certification testing - the results of which are looking encouraging - is taking longer than we had initially expected." Following this letter, Mazda made an official announcement:
"The on-sale date for Mazda6 SKYACTIV-D clean-diesel has been moved to late-Spring 2014, to accommodate final emissions testing and certification. We are pleased with the ongoing development and are excited to launch this much-anticipated vehicle in North America. 2014 Mazda6 sales continue to exceed both our expectations and our production abilities, and supplies of the car are short at dealers across the U.S. More information on the SKYACTIV-D clean diesel Mazda6 will be available closer to the on-sale date."

Mazda reveals new 'Game Changers' advertising campaign

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

Looking to highlight its unique and sporty mindset, Mazda is getting ready to launch its biggest advertising campaign since "Zoom-Zoom" became its tagline in 2000. The new campaign, entitled "Game Changers," will begin in May, and rather than focusing on its sporty past - like it did with Zoom-Zoom early on - the new ads will look at recent advancements made in building its future, including Skyactiv technologies and its new diesel race program, both of which involve its excellent new Mazda6 sedan.
As a part of the ads, Mazda will showcase game changers from the sporting world, including Dick Fosbury who changed how competitors perform the high jump and Laird Hamilton, who redefined how surfers attacked big waves. It doesn't sound like Zoom-Zoom is going away, but "Game Changers" will definitely feature heavily in the Japanese automaker's marketing moving forward. A few examples of the new ad campaign are posted in our gallery, and the press release is available below.

Mazda Furai concept designer talks about his car's passing

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Last week, there was mourning at the Autoblog offices as word trickled in that the Mazda Furai concept - one of the coolest, best-looking showcars to grace an auto show stage since the wild and crazy 1960s -had been killed. It was killed on the track with the folks from Top Gear in attendance. We're sure the gods of driving would have wanted it to die on a circuit, but that doesn't make its fiery passing any easier to deal with.
The Furai is the rare concept car that had a lasting appeal with enthusiasts, partly because it was a real, functioning racecar, complete with a wacky three-rotor Wankel engine and cutting-edge Nagare design. Now that it's gone, though, Road & Track's Mallory McMorrow, who was an intern at Mazda Design when the Furai was being styled in 2007, has published an interview with one of the men who penned the Mazda showcar's striking exterior, Carlos Salaff. It's a great piece on the emotional connection between a designer and his creation, and one you should take the time to read. Click on over to R&T for the full story.
