Up for sale is my 1991 RX-7 Coupe. I am the third owner and have owned the car since 2003. 


The good:

The car is from Florida so the body has only a few small (dime size) spots of rust, except the lower window trim. Has never been in an accident. Suspension still tight, motor pulls strong, brakes are great, interior is in decent shape. Car is stock except for factory replacement 4 piston brakes on the front and a Miata shift knob (still have original). Power windows, wipers, and seat belts work. Seat belts are only 2 years old. Comes with two sets of tires, currently wearing the winter set. It has always been run on 2 cycle premix. All gauges work, but digital clock has the cold solder issue (common). 


The bad:

The front rotor has an o-ring leak on the exhaust side. Although the car runs normally, it leaks exhaust into the cooling system. After about 20-30 minutes of driving the low water buzzer can go off because the exhaust has forced the coolant out. You can stop, dump the coolant into the radiator and keep going, though. If you're not driving it long distances, you wouldn't notice a problem at all. CD/radio has mostly stopped working. Power antenna is broken and is in the up position. The mufflers are rusted through. Fuel injectors leak when it's cold so sometimes it smokes on start up. Transmission is notchy before it is warmed up and shifter feels a little loose. Has A/C hardware, but it hasn't had freon in years. Body has some small dents.


The ugly:

The paint is mostly faded away. The passenger door was repainted after a broken window and it has cracked (see picture). The hood has been resprayed with primer, but there is rust creeping back under it. The driver's seat has two tears in it. The speedo/tach console surround has broken from its mount. Above the speedo console the vinyl dash is cratered. The rubber trim on the hatch is pulling up on the driver's side (see picture). 

Summary: 

The car could use new paint and the engine will likely need to be overhauled/replaced eventually.

Buyer to arrange for pickup/delivery. Deposit due within 48 hours, full payment with cash or cashier's check on pickup.

Mazda reports strong Skyactiv sales, plans to boost output 25%

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Mazda is set to expand production of its Skyactiv engines after critical and commercial acclaim for the fuel-sipping powerplants. The Japanese manufacturer has a number of plans in the works to bump up production, with the first being a 25-percent increase in output from its Hiroshima, Japan engine facility.
Besides adding a new line, Mazda will modify the line that built MZR engines, a family of mills that includes the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Mazdaspeed3 and the 2.0-liter found in the MX-5 Miata. The bump in production is just part of Mazda's goal of selling 1.7 million vehicles globally by 2016, with 80 percent of those vehicles expected to wear a Skyactiv badge.
Mazda also builds Skyactiv engines at a joint-venture facility with Ford, in Changan, China, while a Mexican facility will go online by March of 2014. Skyactiv engines currently power the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.

Will the Mazda2 be offered as a PHEV with a rotary engine range extender?

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.
Martin Benders, managing director of Mazda in Australia, spoke to Motoring about the company's future with hybrids and basically reiterated what the CEO said last year. The Japanese automaker only plans to offer electrified powertrains in places where they can sell in sufficient numbers to be profitable, like Japan.
Mazda has been playing with the rotary range-extender idea for years. In the RE prototype, the engine was exclusively used to charge the lithium-ion batteries when they were running low, and a 100-horsepower electric motor provided all of the propulsion. It gave the little hatch an estimated range of about 250 miles. The company reportedly took inspiration from its Skyactiv engines to make the Wankel have lower friction and a lighter weight.

2021 Mazda6 gets small price increase and updates, and that Carbon Edition

Thu, Sep 3 2020

Mazda's blowing a soft breeze of change over the 2021 Mazda6. We already knew the Japanese automaker has included the sporty sedan in its batch of Carbon Editions, along with the 2021 Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-9. The trio feature an exclusive Polymetal Gray exterior hue with blacked-out trim and a black metallic finish for the wheels. while the interior shouts in red leather with black accents. We now know the Carbon Edition is based on the fourth-highest trim, the Grand Touring Reserve, adding just $275 to the price of that trim in standard guise. Pricing for the entire 2021 range and differences to 2020 after the $945 destination charge are: Mazda6 Sport $25,270 ($225) Mazda6 Touring $27,870 ($225) Mazda6 Grand Touring $30,970 ($225) Mazda6 Grand Touring Reserve $33,470 ($225) Mazda6 Carbon Edition $33,745 Mazda6 Signature $36,695 ($350) Two of the three premium paint choices go up in price as well. Snowflake White Pearl Mica will cost $395 instead of $200, Machine Gray Metallic goes from $300 to $495. Soul Red Crystal Metallic holds steady at $595. At the entry-level, the Sport adds Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to its list of standard equipment, meaning the infotainment feature is now standard across the lineup. Everything holds steady until the Mazda6 Grand Touring, which adds a "Turbo" badge at the back for distinction, and wireless Apple CarPlay inside. Mazda didn't say so, but we're guessing wireless Apple CarPlay will be available on trims above the Grand Touring as well. Under the hood, the 2.5-liter turbocharged Skyactiv-G four-cylinder gains 10 pound-feet of torque when filled with 93 octane, producing the same 250 horsepower but an improved 320 lb-ft. On 87 octane, the engine makes 227 hp and 310 lb-ft.  The 2021 Mazda6 misses out on the new infotainment system shared with the Mazda3, CX-30, and CX-5, and the diesel and all-wheel drive options still haven't decided to come out of their hiding places. The sedan is expected on dealer lots later this month or early next. Related Video:
