Up for sale is my 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL with 133k on
it. It is neither a showroom vehicle nor a basket case. You’ll get a garaged
car that’s a daily driver you can enjoy and work on along the way. It is in
good as is condition, being fun and reliable. Surprisingly it gets much
attention from different generations of people. Mark my words, these collectible
vehicles are getting closer to having their day in the sun. Here
are the pros… There
are no major rust issues with the car; the paint is average
with some clearcoat fading in some areas (see pics). It has a newer CD
player with a phone jack for your Smartphone. It also has Sirius satellite radio. I do have the original factory radio cassette with equalizer
included. Has the removable
sunroof, power windows, power mirrors (driver side doesn’t work), and
cruise control. Recent
service includes the front/rear brakes, front rotors, and brake
fluid flushed. Other
repairs in my ownership are: all belts replaced, changed spark
plugs, master cylinder replaced, thermostat replaced, igniter replaced, and
newer battery. Here
are the cons… Air
conditioning doesn’t work (never looked into, may be
a leak that needs sealing and perhaps an opportunity to convert to 134a coolant).
Heat does work. Power
steering doesn’t function due to a leak. I’ve already
replaced the pump (But I have no issues with driving). There
is a surface scrape on the very front corner of the right quarter
panel and bumper (see pics). HOWEVER,
I have a car bra (never used) that will cover the scrapes if you don’t want to
initially paint. It will come with the car. I have also a new unused, unpainted bumper cover and all used replacement parts (light
covers, rubber molding) to repair the scraped area should you repair and paint
down the road. It includes a shop manual (a reproduced edition). A $500.00 deposit via PayPal is required to hold the
vehicle and the balance is due upon pick up with a certified check only. Car
will be for sale locally in Cincinnati, Ohio. Feel free to contact me with
questions. |

Mazda2 production fires up in Mexico
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Mazda has officially kicked off production of the next-generation Mazda2 at the company's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. Alongside the auto assembly plant, operations have also commenced at the facility's engine machining factory.
"With the start of production of the all-new Mazda2, operations underway at the engine machining plant, and an increase in our annual production capacity, we now have an even stronger production framework capable of supplying global markets with Skyactiv products of the same high quality level as those made in Japan," Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation's President Keishi Egawa said in a statement. "At the same time, we are pleased to be able to make a contribution to Mexico's further economic growth."
MMVO joins Mazda's Hofu Plant in Japan and the Auto Alliance factory in Thailand, which commenced Mazda2 production in July and September, respectively.
1993 Mazda RX-7 Retro Review | A '90s hero turns 25
Fri, Sep 14 2018Boom times build interesting cars. In the late 1980s, Japan was flush with capital, and automakers spent like the party was never going to end. Suddenly building the third-generation RX-7 — the world's most advanced twin-turbo rotary sports car — seemed like the most natural thing a small car company hailing from Hiroshima could do. On this side of the Pacific, however, there was no context for the sudden influx of unusually tricked-out Japanese hardware flooding American dealerships. And none of the Japanese sports cars of the era was more unusual than the FD-generation Mazda RX-7, imported from 1993 to 1995 (and continuing on in Japan until 2002). Although the island nation's economy was headed on a downward spiral by the end of 1990, Mazda was in no position to pull back and walk away from the development dollars that had already been spent on its latest RX-7. As a result, Americans were able to briefly bask in the glow of one of the most unique engineering experiments ever unleashed on unsuspecting buyers. For its time, the Mazda RX-7 was a spaceship. With fluid lines that screamed "exotic," it joined the NSX in showing that supercars didn't have to have European blue blood running in their cooling systems to elegantly snag eyeballs. The twin-rotor, 1.3-liter 13B-REW situated behind the RX-7's front axle revved all the way to 8,000 rpm on its quest to produce 255 horsepower and 217 pound-feet of torque, with a pair of sequential turbos handing boost duties back and forth around the 4,500 rpm mark. A five-speed manual gearbox was standard with the FD (a four-speed automatic was optional), as was a curb weight in the neighborhood of 2,800 pounds — nearly 500 lbs less than the contemporary Toyota Supra. Significant figures for the era, to be sure. While they might pale in comparison to the average sports car today, slide into the RX-7's cockpit and drive the car, rather than just crunch the numbers. You'll quickly discover what can be accomplished when the company that engineered the Miata pulls a full John Hammond and "spares no expense" developing a world-beating sports car platform. The 1993 Mazda RX-7 I've been loaned from Mazda's classic collection is an R1 car, which means tighter suspension tuning, a few cosmetic upgrades, and a Competition Yellow paint job.
Petrolicious lets a 1971 Mazda RX-2 howl
Fri, Jan 15 2016Rotary engines scream to the heavens in the best way possible. To hear a wonderful example of the Wankel's battle cry, turn up your speakers and watch Petrolicious highlight an immaculately clean 1971 Mazda RX-2 in Australia. Owner Jason Humble took three years to build his RX-2 from a bare shell, and he started competing with it in vintage racing in 2005. The little coupe's class pits it on track against Mustangs and Camaros, but Humble claims that he's regularly near the top of the pack thanks to the Mazda's communicative chassis. We don't get to see the RX-2 mixing things up on track in the Petrolicious video, but Humble does treat us to a drive through the Australian countryside. He's happy to let the coupe's rotary rev, and the little engine is capable of making a wonderful noise. It's great to see Petrolicious continue to give the spotlight to these sometimes overlooked classic Japanese sports cars.
