This 1980 RX-7 is low mileage because it's former owner was a designer of accessories and systems, for the first generation RX-7. He design (and used to sell) a plenum kit and adapter for mounting a Holley carb on the intake, for performance sake. He also designed and sold head light lamp adapters, so this car has rectangular headlamps, in lieu of the large round lamps. In addition, this car has a steel back hatch which affords it the look of a mid-engine Ferrari, includes a rear opening window, for ventilation. I have no idea how it can have the Ferrari emblem it has on the outside, on the end of the hatch, but it does. Maybe this is a prototype, which was going to be licensed from Ferrari ? I've seen fiberglass hatches in Japan, which are somewhat similar. This hatch brings the rear window much closer to the front seat, while still also allowing a combined view with the two body mounted rear side windows. The rear wall has four substantial speakers, which are powered by a Pioneer Radio / CD player, pumped through a pre-amp, hidden in the glove box. Currently, the stereo is not running. The engine has an aftermarket exhaust header of substantial size, leading to dual mufflers, near the end of the exhaust pipe. The cast wheels have air deflectors mounted on the outside of them, for greater brake cooling. I believe the deflectors are also of Norman's design. The dashboard has addition vacuum gages in the center, which I believe assisted the designer in testing his carburetor modifications. There are driving lights and fog lights mounted in the lower front valance, and control switches are on the lower dash. The air cleaner on the carb is a K & N open side design, because the hood scoop, is functional. Inside the hood there is a sheet metal deflector which channels air toward the air cleaner. The front disc brakes have been converted to machined aluminum drums and pads.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata to be revealed on September 3 [w/video]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Now in its 25th year and on the market in its current form since 2005, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has been due for replacement for some time now. A mid-life facelift helped things along some in 2008, but the moment that roadster enthusiasts have been anxiously awaiting is almost upon us.
Mazda has now confirmed that the 2016 MX-5 will be officially unveiled on September 3 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca just ahead of the "Miatas at Mazda Raceway" event, where the Japanese automaker will also display "an array of heritage, concept and motorsports MX-5s," just as it did alongside the upcoming new roadster's Skyactiv chassis at the New York Auto Show.
Not to leave the European and Asian markets out of the fun, Mazda will simultaneously unveil the new Miata in Spain and Japan as well. But in the meantime you can view the teaser video and press release below to keep that excitement drummed up.
Mazda recalls Takata airbags in B-Series
Tue, Feb 2 2016The Basics: Mazda will recall 19,000 examples of the 2004–2006 B-Series pickup. The Problem: The pickups contain Takata-sourced driver's side airbag inflators that could rupture in a crash. The spray of metal shrapnel could injure or even kill occupants. Injuries/Deaths: None reported in the Mazda pickups. However, a rupturing airbag inflator killed the driver in a Ford Ranger, which is identical to the B-Series. The Fix: Mazda will replace the driver's side inflator. If You Own One: Mazda plans to notify affected owners as soon as dealers have the replacement parts. More Information: Mazda already recalled 442,266 driver's side Takata inflators and 416,475 of them on the passenger's side. The affected models included the 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2004-2006 B-Series, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6, 2004-2008 RX-8, and some examples of the 2004 MPV. Ford also issued an expanded safety campaign for 391,394 examples of the 2004-2006 Ranger.

Mazda CX-5 facelift leaks online
Mon, 10 Nov 2014It's only been a couple of years since Mazda introduced its CX-5 crossover, so it's hardly in need of replacement just yet. But to keep it fresh, the Japanese automaker is apparently preparing to roll out a facelift for the compact crossover.
The facelifted model is expected to debut at the LA Auto Show later this month, but before it does, a handful of images - apparently scanned from a brochure - have leaked out online. From what we can see, it looks like the revised CX-5 features a new grille with horizontal bars, LED headlamps derived from those on the new Mazda2, new fog light surrounds, new taillight graphics and, of course, new wheels.
Unfortunately we can't see what's going on inside, but it'd be safe to bet that, along with the revised exterior detailing, Mazda's probably taken the opportunity to update the interior as well.
