I've decided to move on from the FC3S, as I may have an addition to the family soon... I've owned this car for over 3 years, and nearly every aspect of the car has been rebuilt with the exception of the bodywork, which was completed prior my purchase from a gentleman in Virginia. The RX7 convertible was not offered with a turbocharged engine in the US, which makes this a relatively rare find.
List of mods:
Body:
Full RE-Amemiya FC2000 Bodykit, with the bumpers and sideskirts molded on.
3000GT wing, painted to match
Offset blue 3M stripe done by EastCoastWrap in Jacksonville, Fl.
Aluminum Turbo2 hood.
Roll bar, painted to match.
Shaved door handles, antenna, and gas tank door.
S5 Taillights with diffusers removed.
Interior:
1991 (S5) black dash, carpet, and console - all in excellent condition.
Original seats recovered in black leather last year - and this car only sees the road once a month. They're essentially brand new. Headrest speakers fully functional.
Jensen Double Din Navigation unit (plays SD cards, accepts AUX in, etc.) Rockford fosgate speakers behind seats.
Custom triple gauge mount in place of the "idiot cluster" which currently holds two AFR gauges (Autometer narrowband, and AEM Wideband), and an Autometer Boost gauge.
Brand new shift boot. New carpet.
New convertible top.
Momo JET Steering Wheel
Alpine 12" type R subwoofer, Alpine amplifiers as well!
Drivetrain:
1991 JDM 13BT, THIS ENGINE WAS REBUILT LESS THAN 200 MILES AGO... The Front/Center/Rear Irons have the later, thicker dowel cast area... almost brand new!
1991 JDM T2 Transmission, works perfectly, shifter bushings replaced 2 months ago.
Mazdatrix Short shifter
Megasquirt 2 Engine Managment System. THIS STILL NEEDS TO BE TUNED - when I rebuilt the engine, I changed injector sizes to 720cc primaries, and 1000cc secondaries.
Mazda Competition engine mounts
BNR Stage 2 Turbocharger
RotaryWorks Front Mount Intercooler, with a genuine Greddy BOV.
Full Racing Beat REV TII exhaust system, from downpipe to mufflers.
Custom paint on engine, manifolds, etc.
RB Lightweight Steel Flywheel
Brand new Exedy HD clutch
Brand new clutch hydraulics
Battery relocated to the trunk.
Various Banzai Racing blockoff plates
Godspeed Aluminum Radiator with a VERY CAPABLE e-fan (controlled by the ECU)
Suspension/Wheels:
Mazdatrix Strut tower bar
KSport Kontrol Pro 32 way coilovers, with adjustable camber plates in the front. (Adjustable ride height as well...)
Full Energy Suspension Master Kit - Urethane Bushings
League 17 inch Staggered Mesh Wheels, ET+40 offset.
Powerslot F/R Brake rotors, rear calipers freshly rebuilt.
NO LEAKS!! Whether oil, coolant, or otherwise!
The car currently runs and drives fine, I've tuned the base map to the point where it is very drivable, but is not safe to boost in until more tuning is done.
I'm sure there are some things missing here, but this car is well worth the money considering the work put into it! I'm sad to see it go, but I hope someone will enjoy it as much as I have!
THIS CAR TIED FOR FIRST PLACE AT SPRING BREAK NATIONALS IN DAYTONA BEACH IN THE TUNER JAM "ULTIMATE" DIVISION!
THIS CAR WON FIRST PLACE AT KMS DRIFT CAR SHOWS
Also took 2nd and 3rd in Sibling Rivalry 7 and 8 in Jacksonville.

2014 Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Wagon
Thu, 21 Feb 2013This was sort of a quirky surprise drive opportunity. I've been over here in Italy for a while now, and Mazda Italia contacted me seemingly out of the blue to drive test some version of the Mazda6 with a diesel engine. Supremo. The Mazda6 is a sexy everyday beast and I have been digging their SkyActiv-D engines for a while now. Very spirited units.
My contact phones me the day of, and says he can come by with the car, and then we'll head off to some sort of special spot for dynamics testing and technical conversation. Nice deal, say I.
My guy Ernesto pulls up outside of the house and - lo and behold - it's a dang Mazda6 station wagon with the very most recent 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D motor good for 148 horsepower and healthy 280 pound-feet of torque. The wee four-banger with 14.0:1 compression ratio hauls this 3,260-pound wagon around with the best of them. A decent 0-to-60-mph time of 8.7 seconds, too.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The 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
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.
