1986 Mazda RX-7 1.3 liter rotary engine with only 67,892k original miles. Never driven in the snow. Stored in a home garage. Interior is sound (except side torn on driver's seat) and mostly untouched. Body has some wear (Car is 28+ years old).  Some rust spots around vehicle and some paint blemishes caused by dormant 20yrs of inactivity where it was stored before I purchased vehicle on 6/2010 as a hobby for restoration. Mostly around sunroof and door frames but there are some around hatch. I left the body alone so the original condition could be observed. You can repaint if you like or drive as is. I drive the car less than 3000 miles per year. It drives great, never stalled or failed to start and no smoke.

List of work and parts:

Fluids: engine oil change (Royal Purple 5w-30), manual transmission fluid (Royal Purple 75w90), rear differential fluid
(Royal Purple 75w90), brake fluid (STP Dot3-4 Synthetic). All top quality fluids used, and all oil based fluids are synthetic (Royal Purple and STP)

Gaskets: Exhaust and Intake manifold gaskets, Dynamic Chamber and plenum gaskets, and all exhaust gaskets.

Components
: Rubber shifter bushings, spark plugs (NGK Mazda RX-8 Iridium), spark plug wires, air filter, new brake master cylinder and slave cylinder, fuel pump and fuel filters replaced, starter motor, MAF sensor,
4 Falken ZE512 tires and currently have over 75% tread, Duracell performance battery, horn and horn relay, new wipers and all interior plastics were painted by Brown's Mazda body shop to match original color. 

Upgrades
: Tokico Blue HP struts, TEIN Coil Springs (1.5" lower and 30% stiffness), F1 Aluminum Flywheel, Clutch Pressure Plate and Stage-2 Clutch,
Energy Suspension HyperFlex Performance Polyurethane Master Bushing Kit, OBX SS Headers, Racing Beat SS Pre-Silincer, OBX SS 3" Y-Pipe and Universal Mufflers, Mazda Miata Short Shifter, New Leather Shifter Boot.

Car runs and starts great, even in cold weather. It has a bad ground somewhere (common RX-7 issue) and revs up and down when idle ( + 200rpm) and a slight and quick lag at 3800rpm which is caused by a poor ground somewhere...  I know I'm missing many minor replaced components and upgrades, but feel free to contact me for any questions.

* Car can be driven anywhere even though it currently has Antique plates (restricted to within 250miles from registered address)

No trades, cash only, please only serious inquires.

Bid with confidence. My feedback is excellent.

Disclaimers:
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) - No Deposit Refund or Vehicle Return after transaction is completed

This vehicle IS 28yrs old and the buyer should take this into consideration when making the purchase.

The vehicle has a low serial number as it was manufactured on February, 1986 and directly imported from Japan, therefore it does not have any on-board computer (ODBC, ODBC-II, etc). 
EPA new vehicle requirements in the USA became effective in July, 1986.

Powertrain (
Engine, Transmission, Differential) is completely OE from the manufacturer and never rebuilt or opened. All interior (except radio) is OE from manufacturer or aftermarket to OE specifications.

Rotary engines ARE NOT reciprocating engines (Piston Engine), therefore they do not have as many internal component (less than 40%) that piston engines. 
No timing belt (chain driven from crankshaft), only accessory belt.
With proper care and maintenance this engine is rated from Mazda with a MTBF of 200,000km (124,275mi) and the cost of rebuilt is about 20-35% less than a standard reciprocating engine if needed.

President Obama will be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Tue, Dec 22 2015

The seventh season of Jerry Seinfeld's excellent Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee will debut on Wednesday, December 30, and if this first trailer is any indication, the guest lineup is damn impressive. But rather than building up to one big guest over the course of the season, the show is starting with one of the biggest guests possible – the president of the United States. President Barack Obama will join Seinfeld behind the wheel of what looks like a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for a trip around the South Lawn of the White House. According to CBS, the pair will enjoy their coffee in the staff dining room, which is probably a better idea than crippling Washington, D.C., with a Stingray-led motorcade. Aside from the president, Seinfeld has recruited a couple comedy icons, including first-timers Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. Also appearing are Garry Shandling, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kathleen Madigan. The four-wheeled stars will include the Corvette, a Plymouth Superbird, a Chevy Camaro, a classic Porsche 911, a BMW 2002, and what we think is a (rather troublesome) 1952 Siata 208 8V Coupe Balbo. You can check out the entire trailer up at the top of the page.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw. Read more at Manufacturing.Net. Audi will use Valeo's electric superchargers to improve fuel economy and acceleration. Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
