1993 Mazda Rx-7 Touring Coupe 2-door 1.3l Twin Turbo Rotary on 2040-cars
Forsyth, Georgia, United States

This vehicle would make a great starting platform for someone looking to convert it for racing!
The car was purchased in 1994 by my brother (second owner) and has been in the family ever since. It is mostly stock (see below for exceptions) and has been kept in a garage or carport for most of the last 20 years. It is in very good physical condition for its age and mileage. The car has 120,654 miles on the frame. The engine has somewhere between 50K and 60K. The clutch has about 10,000 miles on it. As far as I know, the car has been in one accident in 2003; it was hit in the right front quarter. There are some minor body alignment issues on the right front corner with the bumper, hood, and headlight, but nothing excessive. There is also a small dent over the passenger door where it was hit by a falling tree branch. There is some paint oxidation on the roof and rear bumper that can probably be polished out. The hood and front bumper are in better shape because they were repainted after the accident. There are minor paint dings in a few places, the largest of which is on the driver's door where someone opened a car door into it. All of these issues should be visible from the photos. The interior of the car is in very good shape. There is some normal wear in the leather of the driver's seat as would be expected from the car's age. The carpet is clean and has been protected by floor mats for the life of the car. The car is equipped with the Bose Acoustic Wave sound system that was created especially for this model car. The subwoofer system in the rear needs an amplifier rebuild. See the photos for details on interior condition. About a year ago, the car was taken to our local Mazda dealer because it would not accelerate. By the time it had been moved a couple of times in the parking lot where it broke down and then put on a tow truck, it had flooded out. The dealer replaced the plugs, wires, and coils to get it started again. At that point, they started trying to troubleshoot the acceleration problem. They replaced the fuel pump with an aftermarket unit and apparently broke the fuel quantity sending unit in the process. The fuel gauge does not currently work, although the low fuel light still comes on at the proper time. The next thing the dealer tried was replacing the catalytic converters, which were supposedly clogged. They couldn't find suitable replacements, so they installed a performance steel downpipe. So the car is now straight-piped from the turbo outlet to the muffler. They spent a couple of months messing with it and could never get it to work. We sent it to a Mazda specialist in Atlanta who replaced the throttle position sensor and then the secondary fuel injectors and finally got the car running again. Less than two thousand miles later, the plastic coolant air separator tank split, causing the car to overheat and shut down just down the street from our driveway. We were able to restart the car after it cooled and move it into the driveway, where we replaced the air separator tank with an aluminum one and replaced the coolant. However, we have not been able to start the car since. It is badly flooded again and will drip oily fuel out the exhaust. We tried removing the plugs and cleaning them, draining the combustion chambers, and reassembling it, but no luck. The car will fire and sputter a little bit, but won't catch and start. Fixing it may be as simple as new plugs, or it may take some more drastic measures. I honestly don't know. We had to replace the car with something more reliable for my son to drive to school, so we are selling the car as-is. This car would be a great project purchase for someone more mechanically inclined than I am who can get it started, tuned up, and maybe converted for racing. It is lightning fast and a lot of fun to drive. In addition to the repairs and modifications above, most of the vacuum lines and check valves have been recently replaced and it has a new alternator and serpentine belt. Buyer will be responsible for taking delivery of the car or having it shipped to your location. It will require transport that can account for the fact that it cannot be started. Thanks for looking! I would love to see this car go to someone who will fix it up and really enjoy it to its full potential. My brother loved driving it, my son loved driving it, and I'm sure you will too! |

Mazda Hazumi Concept shows up ahead of Geneva
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Last week, Mazda officially teased its Geneva-bound Hazumi concept, showing little more than an aggressive headlamp design. But now, thanks to the magic of the Internet, another rendering of the Hazumi has appeared on the web, and, well, it's totes adorbs.
In Mazda's original release from last week, we were told that the name "Hazumi" means "spring up" or "bound" in Japanese, and is "particularly well-suited to a small car that appears to be bursting with energy." And now that we're getting a nearly full glimpse of the thing, we absolutely have to agree. The company's Kodo design language offers aggressive style in a cute little shape, and the usual raft of concept car-spec treatments (no mirrors, huge wheels, etc.) make it look even more comical and delightful.
Indeed, the Hazumi is understood to preview the next Mazda2 subcompact, and if this concept car points the way forward for Mazda's tiniest hatch, consider us totally geeked. Mazda is also set to debut its new 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and while the company hasn't confirmed if that powerplant will make its way into the next Mazda2, it sure makes sense, at least overseas. Stay tuned.
2015 Mazda2 spotted on the road
Tue, 15 Apr 2014When Mazda unveiled the Hazumi Concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, our excitement for the next Mazda2 increased considerably. The Hazumi looks to retain much of the driving character that makes the current 2 one of the very best cars in its segment while infusing it with more aggressive styling. Of course, when the 2 arrives, it won't look exactly like the Hazumi. That's why these spy photos are so important.
This is our very first look at the next-generation 2, and although the Hazumi influence might be difficult to discern, thanks to the swirly camo, it's still there. The grille shape and the headlights are very similar in shape to the items shown on the concept, while the camouflage disguises the shape of the greenhouse, which looks somewhat like the Hazumi.
What we can't see, though, is under the hood. That's where our spies come in, reporting that a pair of 1.5-liter SkyActiv engines will see action in the tossable 2. The former, which we'll almost certainly see in the US, is a gas-powered mill found in the Euro-spec Mazda3. In the larger 3, it produces 99 horsepower and 111 pound-feet of torque, which is broadly similar to what the current 2's 1.5-liter pumps out. The other engine, a 1.5-liter SkyActiv diesel, probably won't be making the trip, although we'll continue to hope.
Dealers think Mazda's new Mexico plant will increase Mazda3 sales by 20%
Mon, 27 Jan 2014Mazda3 sales in the US were down about 15 percent last year to a total of 104,713 units. According to a report from Automotive News, though, the slowdown in sales has been due more to production constraints than demand.
Good news for Mazda dealers, then, that a new plant in Salamanca, Mexico has just come online. Tom Carey, chairman of Mazda's national dealer council, told AN, "We're going to be in good shape because of that Mexico inventory." If estimates prove accurate, sales of the Mazda3 will increase by about 20 percent when the new plant begins production this month.
If those lofty projections come to pass, Mazda will reportedly be on track to exceed 300,000 total sales in the US in 2014, which would represent the brand's highest figures since its 375,000-unit peak in 1994. The brand hopes to sell more than 400,000 vehicles in the US by 2016, and with well-received products like the latest 3 and Mazda6 sedan, such expectations seem quite possible.
