Up for sale is my 1991 Mazda RX7 Turbo II that I used as a track car. As you can tell from the VIN, this was not originally a Turbo car, but was a 1991 N/A Coupe. The original Turbo donor car was wrecked, and this chassis was the recipient. Everything was swapped off the Turbo car onto this car. So the most important pieces everyone will ask about is the rear diff and the suspension, and yes, it is all S5 Turbo drive train, suspension, everything.
Here is what I have done to the car:
So, everyone always has a story to tell of why they are selling their RX7, here is mine. I took this car to the Harris Hill Raceway track days every once in a while when I lived in Texas. My wife who is in the Air Force got orders to North Bay Ontario Canada, so I had the car shipped (along with 3 of my other RX7's) to Pennsylvania where her parents live. On our way up here to Canada, we stayed in Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks, and I would take the car out on the mountain roads. The last day I drove it, I ran it out of gas, had my wife bring me a 5 gallon jug of gas on the side of the road, and drove it back to where we stored it. (it ran fine). After getting settled here in Canada, we went back down for Christmas, and while there, I started all the cars to let them run a bit, but this one gave me problems. It would start and idle, but as soon as you touch the throttle, it bogs and dies. I brought it up here with me to Canada to work on it, and as far as I have gotten with it is make sure the fuel pump and relays are working. I suspect that the fuel lines, fuel filter, or injectors have junk in them from letting the tank run empty. As my other project (Supercharged 13B powered 1989 GTUs) has taken precedence, I simply do not have the time or motivation to work on this one, as I don't have tracks around me to run it anyway. If you have any questions, please let me know. I can take pictures of whatever you need. It would only let me post 24 pictures, but I have pictures of the lights on, and I have a picture of the fuel pump, as well as pictures of all three VIN numbers that match (door, firewall, VIN plate) Title is a Texas title, and I have the import papers from when I brought it across the border. I have a video of it on the track spitting flames if anyone wants to see that. I can tow this to the Toronto area and everywhere in between there and North Bay. If shipped anywhere else in Canada, I can assist with loading. I am also going back down to Pennsylvania mid July, so I can take it down to PA and if you live in the states, you can estimate your shipping from there. |

Ford expands 'Do Not Drive' airbag warning to 33,000 more Ranger trucks
Tue, Feb 13 2018WASHINGTON — Ford on Monday warned an additional 33,000 owners of older pickup trucks in North America to stop driving them until potentially defective Takata Corp airbag inflators can be repaired. In January, Ford told 2,900 owners of model year 2006 Ford Ranger trucks to stop driving immediately after a second death was linked to inflators built on the same day. The expanded warning was prompted by additional testing, Ford, the second largest U.S. automaker, said in a statement, and now covers a broader time frame of production. Mazda Motor Corp said it was issuing a similar expansion for about 1,800 2006 Mazda B-Series trucks that were built by Ford after it had issued a warning for 160 trucks in January. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the vehicles pose "an immediate risk to safety" and urged owners to immediately schedule a free repair. Ford and Mazda have replacement airbag inflators available now and will tow vehicles to a dealership for repairs as well as provide loaner vehicles free of charge, the companies and NHTSA said. About 90 percent of the vehicles subject to the "Do Not Drive" warning are in the United States. Two U.S. senators in January questioned why Ford's warning only applied to a small number of the 391,000 2004-2006 Ranger trucks recalled because of Takata air bags in 2016 in the United States. Ford said last month the death in a July 2017 crash in West Virginia in a 2006 Ford Ranger was caused by a defective Takata inflator after a similar 2015 death in South Carolina. At least 22 deaths worldwide are linked to the Takata inflators that can rupture and send deadly metal fragments into the driver's body. The faulty inflators have led to the largest automotive recall in history. The other 20 deaths have occurred in Honda vehicles, most of which were in the United States. About a quarter of the 2,900 vehicles have been repaired since Ford issued the warning last month, the company said on Monday. Takata said in June it has recalled, or expected to recall, about 125 million vehicles worldwide by 2019, including more than 60 million in the United States. About 19 automakers worldwide are affected. Takata inflators can explode with excessive force, unleashing metal shrapnel inside cars and trucks and have injured more than 200 people. The defect led Takata to file for bankruptcy protection in June.Reporting by David ShepardsonRelated Video:
Mazda reveals 25th anniversary edition MX-5 Miata alongside next-gen chassis
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Ford may be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Mustang this week, but it's not the only automaker with a sports car icon to fete at this year's New York Auto Show. Mazda is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata with an array of 15 classic models. It's also showing off the chassis for the next MX-5, and unveiling a special 25th Anniversary Edition.
The special edition is based on the retractable hardtop model with either manual or automatic transmission, Bilstein shocks, a metallic red paint job with contrasting black roof and an off-white leather interior. Naturally, special badging can be found inside and out to set it apart from the record 940,000 other MX-5s sold to date, and just 100 examples will find their way to US buyers.
Along with the two-tone special, Mazda is also showing off the new Skyactiv chassis and engine that'll underpin and power the upcoming next-generation MX-5 (as well as an as-yet-to-be-determined Fiat Group roadster if the two parties can work out their differences). With a lower center of gravity that's also closer to the middle of the car, the new chassis promises even better balance and a good couple hundred pounds of weight savings over the outgoing model. Check it all out in the press releases below.
Mazda Hazumi concept presages next Mazda2
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Looks like Mazda's big Geneva Motor Show debut is actually something quite small. Teased here, the Hazumi concept "points the way to the future" for the brand's subcompact offering, the Mazda2. Details are slim as of this writing, but from what we can see in the image above, the Hazumi will use the same Kodo design language found on the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5. We're big fans of this styling direction, so we fully expect the concept to be quite an attractive little number.
Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, with Mazda saying this nomenclature is "particularly well-suited to a small car that appears to be bursting with energy." In other words, say goodbye to the friendly faced Mazda2 we've enjoyed since it launched in the United States in 2010. Instead, prepare for something decidedly more assertive, hopefully improving upon the already-great driving dynamics of the current subcompact. If we're honest, we can't wait.
Mazda will also use the Geneva show to debut its new small-displacement, 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. The automaker hasn't confirmed that this new fuel-efficient powerplant will be part of the Hazumi concept package, but considering the two are debuting alongside each other, it would seem to make sense. As for whether or not this engine could come stateside when the next Mazda2 launches, we're not holding our breath for that, especially considering the company's current woes with US-spec diesel engines.
