1993 Mazda Rx7, Florida Car, Lots Of Upgrades on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
|
I bought this car for my mid life crisis car to replace the 1993 Rx7 I had back when they were new.
This car is fun to drive but my being older means it kills my back getting in and out of the car and I can't get comfortable, so I will stick to my antique cars for my mid life crisis instead . Some things just are not as much fun the second time around ( like marrying your ex wife again ) and put this up for sale. 1993 Mazda Rx7. In the past year the following have been done; 1. tune up- new platinum plugs, new wires, new coil packs 2. New front and rear cross drilled and slotted brake rotors and pads 3. New Optima battery relocated to the bin behind the driver's seat 4. New aluminum race quality heavy duty radiator + twin fans 5. New aluminum race quality large turbo intercooler 6. New silicone cooling and vacuum hoses 7. New aluminum race quality coolant air tank 8. New APEXi air intake system 9. complete flush and fill of all lubricants and replacing with synthetic fluids 10. New 145 degree thermostat and gasket and water pump 11. New belts 12. New rear strut bar 13. New struts 14. New turn signal / drive lamp assemblies The following need attention: 1. Fuel filler door pops open ( have it temporarily stuck closed so it doesn't open when driving ) and it works as is but it is not a permanent fix 2. Prior owner was in the middle of changing the interior from tan to black, so the carpets,headliner , and back bins are still tan ( which you can leave or change to black to match the rest if you like ). I just left it since it didn't bother me. 3. Odometer just blinked out 2 weeks ago, was at approx. 85,500 - I just bought a replacement dash cluster with a working odo if you want to replace it- it is included 4. black plastic on some inside surfaces such as doors and console needs to be refinished, covered or painted- 5. there are some very minor parking lot dings on the body ( see pictures ) Prior owner did the following. 1. new sound system with amp, head, speakers etc 2. 17 inch rims with matched set of ZR rated Cooper tires - still at least 50 % left 3. they tinted the windows which helps here in Florida 4. upgraded tail light assemblies 5. front air splitter 6. a pillar gauges Since this is now a 21 year old used car, it is sold as is, where is, with no warranties. Wow, 21 years - now I feel even older. Email if you want to see or drive the car |

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
Mazda refurbishing this NFL running back's 22-year-old daily driver
Thu, 10 Oct 2013I don't actually care for the Washington Redskins (which is a good thing, considering the start to their season this year), but I love their running back, Alfred Morris. Why? Well, to start with, Morris helped deliver a dominating 10-3 season for my fantasy football team last year after a flash of prescience saw me pick him up off the waiver wire in Week 1 (hit me up on Twitter if you need fantasy sports insight, guys, I'm sort of like the Ruxin of Autoblog).
Morris is also pretty endearing because of his loyalty to his car, Bentley. Hold up - that's not to say the running back has splashed out on a Continental GT or a Flying Spur. No, Morris gave his much-loved 1991 Mazda 626 the tongue-in-cheek name "Bentley" while he was still a student at Florida Atlantic. One 1,613-rushing-yard rookie season and a $2.2-million contract later, and Morris is still using his Mazda as his daily driver. It might be easy to assume that the young player is simply being really prudent with all of his newfound wealth, but the guy really just has a thing for his five-speed-manual 626.
And Mazda, of course, loves the story of Morris' affection. In an effort to keep his 626 running strong and looking good, the company's Washington D.C.-area dealers have agreed to refurbish Bentley back to its original showroom freshness. Rather than spoil the classic (?) lines of the 626, the Mazda folks are essentially restoring the car for Morris. The cracked dash will be swapped out for a factory replacement, the engine and transmission given a thorough going-over and the whole vehicle generally made as fresh as Will Smith circa 1991. Bentley is expected to be completed and rolling through the capitol city by October 15, and in the meantime, Morris has been driving around in a new 2014 Mazda6 loaner car.
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.
