So I think I have decided to sell my baby, really looking ahead at some real estate deals, and need to free up some capital. This car gets driven maybe 3k miles a year, and it sits in a storage unit since I don't have a garage at home. Would be much better enjoyed by someone else who will actually use it to its full potential. I bought the car with the swap already done, but have rebuilt the motor twice, and changed just about everything cosmetically. Chassis has roughly 115k, motor 1800, and tranny around 60k.
This isn’t a typical swap. Swap was done from a whole 2001 Camaro parts car. He basically took the best of the two cars to make one. This car uses the Camaro body control module (for keyless entry/alarm functions), 4 channel ABS/traction control, plastic fuel tank/internally regulated fuel pump, and instrument cluster. Advantages described below.
 
4 channel ABS/traction control: Car uses the Bosch 5.3 ABS from the F-body. The ABS on the RX7 is an older three channel system and was starting to leak. The 4 channel ABS can work the rear wheels independently and is also necessary for the traction control. When driving the car with the FD ABS disabled and the front brakes would lock up almost instantly so maintaining ABS for him was a necessity. Not to mention the F-Body pump units are plentiful and can be found cheap. Traction control works well and uses three methods of power reduction when slip is sensed: ignition timing is pulled, if this doesn’t work the throttle starts closing, and finally if those didn’t work it will apply brake force to the slipping wheel/wheels. It can be turned off by a button press, but I can count on one hand the number of times I turned it off. I have found as long as you work with it, it works very well and will still allow the rear to get a little loose. This required all new brake tubing including an extra line run to the rear axle. All the stock brake hoses were retained as well as the Mazda ABS wheel sensors.
 
F-body gas tank: This replaces the steel FD steel tank, is plastic and will not rust. Most importantly this allowed him to run a dual outlet exhaust to both sides of the car, which is essentially impossible with a stock FD tank. This permitted him to modify and use the SLP dual-dual Loudmouth stainless steel catback that came on the parts car. The F-body tank also uses an internally regulated fuel pump so you don’t need the vette external regulated fuel filter. The F-body EVAP system is also used and fully functional. This required the FD spare tire well to be removed, so there is no place to put a spare. 

 F-body body control module: This car now has the camaro’s keyless entry. So the F-body remote is used which includes a trunk release button, he added a solenoid in the trunk so that this function would work. The dome lights, keyless and alarm functions work just like in an F-body.
 
F-body instrument cluster: Running the F-body gas tank and ABS sort of made this a necessity, for gauges and indication lights. He did not use the camaro cluster because the firebird cluster has amber lights so he installed a firebird cluster instead. This eliminates the need for the Dakota Digital speedo correction box, and the speedometer can be adjusted for different tire diameter/gears by a program like HP Tuners. The FD cluster hood was reworked with abs plastic, not fiberglass as he was concerned about fiberglass cracking and separating in the future. All the gauges and warning/indicator lights work just as they would in an F-body. Since he knew he had to rework the instrument cluster he was able to move the steering column up about 1 inch to make more room for knees, now there is a bit more space. Everything works perfectly together, you will really start to appreciate the functionality of all the F-body equipment installed.
 
I Just had it sprayed Viper Red, it really made the original red seem muted and dull. The paint is excellent, with no orange peel anywhere, its smooth as glass and looks stunning. Engine bay and jambs were not sprayed. 

The motor was fully built by Dave at Next Level Performance, this shop has been featured in magazines and has cars shipped to them from all over the US. Its got a mild cam, very streetable, and a set of z06 heads ported by Champion Race heads. Forged Pistons with offet pins for quieter operation. I have the full specs sheet on the engine build available. Accusump 3QT with a manual valve, JTR Headers, Custom Dual Exhaust, Custom CAI, Recaro pole Position SPG Seats (fixed mounted) NRG Wheel, and quick release hub, Diamond Clutch, 18x10 & 18x11 CCW Classics fully swissed and full polished These are about 2 months old, and get blown off after every wash with pressurized air to avoid water spots. 285/35 R and 265/35 F. Hankook Ventus RS-3. JDM Front lip, Shine Auto Rear Wing, RE Amimaya rep Side Skirts, and Rear Valances, Great stereo with 4 channel amp, and components, with 6x9's in custom enclosure in the rear. CD Player has Bluetooth and also an auxiliary input.  All new carpet, interior was originally tan, and has been proffesionally dyed and looks great. BC Racing coilovers with standard 8/6 spring rates, car drives great on the street. Rolled fenders F&R. New Poly bushings throughout entire car. Seibon CF hood, Granny's subframe will not allow for stock hood. HID's high and low beams. New starter and alternator, all 4 wheel bearings have been replaced less than 1500 miles ago. Stop Tech Big Brake kit, pads are like new. Hurst modified short shifter, which now has the 8 ball style shift knob, also have original leather Hurst knob pictured. Car dyno'd 392/388 and is very quick. I ran a 11.9@120 on worn out 255 drag radials. I'm sure there is much more I am forgetting, so please feel free to ask.
Issues with car: Engine bay and jambs were not painted, voltage reads a little low on gauge, but on a real voltmeter its perfect 13.7v. The rear end whines between 60-70mph, it has done this since I bought the car 1.5 years ago, and I do not know the cause. It has never gotten any worse, and is silent in any other mph range. Thats it. A very short list. I dont want anything in trade, and I'm not parting it out.

I have a CD which contains build photos and all wiring diagrams used in this build, including the systems of Traction Control, ABS, and BCM wiring. This is no hack build, all wiring is soldered, and uses factory connections whenever possible.


I have a lot of pics of the car, high resolution listed in this album. Most are before the side skirts just FYI. Click each pic to open it, and then click it again and it will open full screen high resolution. http://www.southeast-performance.com/gallery/album63

Mazda Hazumi Concept shows up ahead of Geneva

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Last 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.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

More photos of the 2014 Mazda3 sedan

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Thanks to the folks at Top Gear Russia, we got an early glimpse of the 2014 Mazda3 sedan. Now, Mazda has released more images of its sleek new four-door, and if you like what the Japanese automaker has done with the five-door hatchback, you won't find anything to complain about with the sedan.
Many would argue that the Mazda3 sedan looks like a scaled-down version of the new Mazda6, and in many cases, that's true. But there are subtle details about the Mazda3 that we really like, starting with the larger grille that makes for a slightly more aggressive front end. On the profile, we like how the strong arching character lines that flow over the front and rear wheel wells intersect in the middle of the car and then taper off. At the rear, a short decklid rounds off a very clean design with taillamps that are indeed reminiscent of the larger Mazda6.
We can't yet confirm powertrain details (or any other specifications, really), but we fully expect the same 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engines to carry over from the hatchback, as well as the six-speed automatic and manual transmissions.
