1987 Mazda RX-7 with 350 V8 engine and 700R4
Automatic Transmission and lots more… I love this car! But, my wife says that it is time for it to go. I do not have time to really enjoy the car anymore. And my wife wants her garage back. I have approx. $30,000 in mechanical upgrades and body work in this car. The “House of Color” paint job with bodywork alone cost $10,000. This car was created with a lot of sweat, money and ingenuity. The only thing that was not fixed or replaced on the car is the gas tank! This car basically has a 1992 Pontiac Trans-am drive train in it. Here are the main specifications for the car. 1. 350
V8 Engine – Was installed using a Granny’s Speed Shop engine cradle kit. a. Slightly,
lifted CAM – I do not remember the specifications for the CAM 2. Howell EFI Multi-Port Fuel Injection and Ignition System - a. Uses
an Edlebrock multi-port intake manifold, throttle body, harness, TPI ECM, with
HEI GM distributor and coil. This kit allows the engine to run in closed loop
mode. This kit alone cost $2,100.00 b.
AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs (Installed last summer.) c.
All new Spark Plug wires d.
Wired the “Service Engine Soon” Indicator to the Mazda’s original
“system” dumb light on the dash. (This is for looks. I wanted the interior of
the car to look original. This is an example of some of the extra details that
were taken with making this a sweet car!) 3. Electrical System - a. 100
Amp on wire Chevy Alternator. b.
Sealed Battery - Located behind rear speaker tower. c.
All of the unnecessary Mazda wires were removed from the car. Only the
wires needed to run the car were left in place. This makes for a clean looking
installation. d.
The electronics was calibrated so that all the sensors and gauges work
on the car just like factory. (The only exception is the speedometer. The
speedometer is still approximately 5-miles per hour fast at 60MPH.) 4. Cooling System - a.
22”x19”x3” Aluminum Radiator equal to a 5-row radiator rated for 480HP
(Purchased from Granny’s Speed Shop.) b.
I had a custom air dam built for the front end of the car by a
professional hot rod shop. This allows for proper airflow and keeps the car
from over-heating. c.
New high performance cooling fan that turns on when the car reaches
proper temp and when the air conditioner is turned on. 5. Drive Train - a. 700R4
Chevy Automatic Transmission mounted using a Granny’s Speed Shop transmission
bracket. b.
Turbo II rear-end with larger half shafts to handle the torque of the
350. The entire rear end was replaced. c.
Custom Balanced Aluminum Drive Shaft with all new components this cost
approx. $500.00 (Purchased from Granny’s Speed Shop) 6. Suspension - a. Complete
Energy Suspension High Performance Polyurethane kit. b.
New High Performance KYB AGX Adjustable Front Struts c.
New High Performance KYB AGX Rear Struts 7. Power Steering - a. Original
Mazda Power Steering using a professionally modified version of the Granny’s
Speed Shop power steering pump bracket. This power steering pump can be
manually calibrated using the onboard stepper motor to control the sensitivity
of the steering. b.
New Original Mazda Power Steering Rack and Pinion 8. Air Conditioning - a. Original
Mazda Air Conditioning – The air conditioning control system was modified
electronically so that the A/C demand button would work just like factory with
a Chevy 350 engine. The original Mazda computer used to control this.
Everything in the A/C has essentially been gone through. All of the A/C lines
and switches are brand new. 9. Exhaust System – a.
Corvette Center Dump manifolds. I chose to go with manifolds because
cast iron would keep the engine compartment cooler. I also thought that
Corvette knew what they were doing when the designed there exhaust systems. b.
Magna-Flow High Performance Dual Exhaust system c.
Two new high flow catalytic convertors in series for emissions 10. Brakes
– a. New
four piston Mazda RX-7 Calibers for better stopping power b.
New Brakes all around c. New vacuum canister
with vacuum gauge to assist the power brakes 11. Body - a. All bodywork
was done by a professional body shop; the bodywork alone cost $10,000. b.

Webasto Electronic Sunroof f.
Rear Round Tail Lights that were reconditioned and clear coated so
that they look like new. g.

the car - a.
1992 Pontiac Trans-am shifter was mounted in the center of the car in
such a fashion that it allows your hand to naturally rest on it. b.
All of the gauges work just like they came from the factory. c.
Comes with the option of having the car setup with a back seat or with
storage in the back. This is rare – Most RX-7’s did not have rear seats!
You get the option of having it or leaving the car a two seater! d.
Everything works electronically except for the clock. The clock on the
dash needs to be fixed. e.
If anything needs work on the car it is the seats. The seats do have a
couple of tears in them. It will cost approx. $300 to reupholster them. 13. Extras
– a. Power
Windows that can be either controlled by the remote or by the buttons in the
car. The motors and hardware that control the windows is new. b.
Remote Start with paging alarm system – The remote for the alarm

New power sunroof d.
Cruise Control e. Power Mirrors f.
JVC AM/FM/CD stereo system with new speakers. g. Comes
with custom ramps that will allow you to raise the car up without scratching
the paint. 14. This car passes emissions in
the state of Colorado. This car is essentially brand new! This car has been for the most part fully restored. It will be almost impossible to find another RX-7 in this kind of condition.

Mazda3 diesel under consideration for US, hybrid not so much
Thu, 27 Jun 2013It's been a long time coming, but we finally clapped our eyes on the real deal, officially official 2014 Mazda3 in hatchback form yesterday. Yet there's a lot more to learn about this next-generation version of what has always been one of our favorite compacts. We know that the US version will come with one of two Skyactiv engines, but what about alternatives? Will there be any... or will the gasoline-fed four-cylinders be powerful and frugal enough to carry the day?
According to Automotive News, the answer is a definite maybe. Mazda North America CEO Jim O'Sullivan has told the trade publication that his employer will consider adding the company's well-liked 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel powerplant to the model down the road. However, the company first wants to see how the engine fares with American consumers in its big-brother Mazda6 sedan, a model that goes on sale later this year. As for a potential Mazdaspeed3 successor, mum is still the word.
Anything else? Uncharacteristically, Mazda will build a hybrid model of its new 3. We say "uncharacteristically," because the Japanese independent has long shied away from gas-electric powertrain tech. In fact, it's gone so far as to boldly announce its aversion to the technology, with auto show banners proclaiming "Not Electric. Not Hybrid. Not A Drag To Drive." Despite all that, this new generation of Mazda3 will in fact be the company's first full hybrid production model. According to AN, however, O'Sullivan says that the company has "no plans" to sell it in the US.
Mazda taps Americas head as CEO to raise game in its biggest market
Fri, May 11 2018TOKYO — Mazda has named the head of its Americas operations as its next president and CEO after its current chief steps down in June, as Japan's fifth-largest automaker seeks to boost profitability in North America, its biggest market. The company said on Friday that Masamichi Kogai will step down and be replaced by current vice president Akira Marumoto, who now oversees operations in the Americas. The changes are effective June 26 after Mazda's annual shareholders' meeting. Mazda, which has global annual sales of around 1.6 million vehicles, has enjoyed a run of rising vehicle sales, expanding in markets particularly in North America, which accounts for nearly 30 percent of total sales. But as one of Japan's smaller automakers and a tiny player globally, it faces growing competition in the United States, where market growth has slowed, and where the company's profitability has sagged due to higher discounting and slowing demand for sedans. The maker of the MX-5 Miata roadster and the reputed Skyactiv gasoline engines also faces higher costs to stay competitive in an industry which is being disrupted by new technologies, including self-driving cars and electric vehicles. Marumoto, a 38-year company veteran with a background in engineering who described himself as having a "strict" work ethic and admitted to being "short-tempered" at times, previously led Mazda's corporate planning and product strategy divisions before heading its Americas operations. He said that growing sales and improving profitability in the North American market would be his biggest priority, along with expanding the company's brand image as an innovative car maker. "Given the rapid changes occurring in the auto industry at the moment it's often asked whether a small company like us will be OK," Marumoto, 60, told reporters at a briefing in Tokyo. "But before we even consider this we need to show our strengths, and what makes us different if we want to grow our brand." Kogai, who became Mazda's president and CEO in 2013, will be following the footsteps of his two immediate predecessors who also held the top job for five years each. He will still be with the automaker and become its chairman, the company said. Earlier this year, Mazda announced that it would invest in a new, $1.6 billion plant in the U.S. state of Alabama as a joint venture with Toyota.
2014 Mazda6 gets up to 38 mpg, priced from $20,880*
Thu, 03 Jan 2013The 2014 Mazda6 starts at $20,880 - *excluding a $795 destination fee - and will offer buyers up to 37 mpg highway in base form. That money will fetch buyers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired to a six-speed manual - a setup packing 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. The Skyactiv powertrain is good, Mazda says, for 25 miles per gallon in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Stepping up to the six-speed automatic gearbox will yield an additional 1 mpg in city and highway driving for up to 38 mpg highway. Despite offering more equipment, the base 2014 model carries a modest $155 price increase over its 2013 predecessor.
Available trims include i Sport starting at $22,495 and i Touring at $24,495 (*both excluding destination charges). The latter swaps the standard car's 17-inch wheels for 19-inch rollers and includes dual-zone automatic climate control and leatherette sport seats among other niceties. Buyers can snap up a tech package that includes TomTom navigation and an 11-speaker Bose Centerpoint sound system for $2,000. Keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers and the company's Smart City Brake Support are all part of that kit as well. Check out the full press release below for more information, and look for more details on the diesel-powered 2014 Mazda6 as we get closer to that vehicle's launch.
