Up for sell is my long time owned Mazda RX-7. I have 6 going for my 7 year of owning this car. This is my first car and my dream car and i wished to kept it for as long a i could but the time has come in my life where more important things need to be done. Im selling this car to buy a house so i hope i can find a buyer who will understand this car and take care of it and love it as much as i have and hope this sacrifice is worth it and could help each other out, with that ill tell you everything about this car that i know and that it has. Im not going to mention prices of whats cost me of doing those things or how much ive invested in the car becuase i just know we all do it for the love of your car and never expect to get it back if you ever sold it. Remember this is a 20 year old car and it is strictly being sold AS IS but im hoping chances are that if your interested in this car you most likely know something about this car and how much it takes to own one so here goes...
Ive tried to keep the car as original as possible, it starts up everytime without problems. The motor is all stock, never went over 3000 miles changed the oil everytime, never has overheated or left me stranded. Ived kept this car mostly on my house with a car cover most of the time and riding it from time to time never not really a daily driver mostly for ocassions only. The body of the car is absolutely straight, no dents or dings or been in a accident. The interior of the car is complete! theres nothing missing or needs to be replaced. It comes with the Original bose system for the RX7 but it needs to be installed (never installed it) and you have to change the cargo lid if you do but its your choice.
Since i bought the car these are the things i have done to it and most recent what the car has on it:
- Lamborghini Red Paint ( About a year and a half old)
- 99 Khouki spoiler
- Side skirts (forgot brand)
- Back skirts mud flaps
- Yellow OEM RX7 Fog Lights
- Original RX7 chrome rims
- Door step skirts (Hard to find)
- Suede Seats
- Custom Cluster Gauge
- 4 Inch HKS High Performance Exhaust (Beautiful Deep Noise)
- Car Alarm
Ok so now its time for the bad things or stuff that needs to be fixed or just to know if you wish to fix or change it:
The car as of right now has NO BOOST. The wastegate of the car needs to be fixed. Its open and i believe is stuck open since you can hear it (my mechanic told me this) since the wastegate is open the air just keeps going out so no boost is builded.I been riding the car for 2 years like that with no problems, no joke, so i dont have any idea of the condition of the turbos but i dont think they shouldnt have anything wrong since they were working fine before that happened but i wish to mention that so in case that dosent fix the boost you might have to give it a diagnose check and see if the turbos are ok.
Theres oil on the bottom of the car thats dirty but the car DOES NOT drop or leek oil its been building up for years that the little bit of oil probably escapes from the seal from time to time. RX7's are known for their oil and how much it uses and burns it. I check it once a week and it hardly reduces oil when i use the car and never goes down when i just have it sitting but you do have to check it once a week becuase its random of how much oil it burns and you never know when you need to add a little bit. Honestly another thing im ganna mention is that i havent check the oil seals in a while so you should probably want to if you feel you need to.
The car runs rich on gas and maybe becuase of the problem with the wastegate perhaps, the car backfires, mostly when you just turn it on and its cold but sometimes from time to time when running.
The suspension is old! i got this car with the same suspensions it has on right now and havent been able to changed it (It hasnt been a problem for me but maybe i got used to it?) its really stiff and not much shock strenght left on it, the car is low (but not too low) so carefull with those bumps!
Ofcourse because of the HKS exhaust the car will NOT pass the smog check, so you know what that means. Please dont tell me i didnt mention this.
The drivers side miror wires needs to be connected again so you can move the miror with the control again.I had to change and buy a new one becuase the old one was broken from the base.
When you make a turn (mostly left turns) the cd players goes off then comes back on, i guess over time the wire or something got loose so needs to be checked. (been too lazy to do that)
Missing the spare tire.
Thats everything i can think of. Thats all the good and bad things it has but honestly it cost money, commitment and time to take care of this car and keep it looking and performing the way it should honestly. Once again this car is 20 years old.
I HOLD THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION IF I SELL THE CAR LOCALLY. CHANCES OF THAT IS LOW BUT I STILL WISH TO KEEP IT, MY APOLOGIES.
Wining buyer is fully responsible for pick up or shipping of this vehicle, i will help all i can from my part if you need something i can do but i will not be the one shipping the car to you or anything.
FOR PAYMENT I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL, BANK TRANSFER OR CASH ONLY!
thank you very much for your interest and for reading all this. I highly appreciate it. Well ill cross my fingers and good luck to everyone.

Mazda2 with extended-range hybrid rotary tech shown
Mon, 23 Dec 2013Every story dealing with a new rotary engine from Mazda lands in a different place on the matrix of possibilities between "Coming soon!" and "Never gonna happen!" In 2011 it was speculated that the rotary engineering program would be shut down with the demise of the RX-8, in 2012 the program was still alive and taking lessons from the SkyActiv engines, in August 2013 a Mazda insider said a rotary engine called 16X would be here in two years, in November the CEO said the only way we'd ever get a new rotary is if Mazda could sell 100,000 of them per year. Meaning that, for the moment, you can forget about it.
And yet, last month Mazda was putting journalists in a Mazda2 RE Range Extender, an electric car using a 0.33-liter rotary to power its lithium-ion batteries when the charge runs down. With a 75-kilowatt, 100-horsepower electric motor turning the front wheels, the Wankel generator and its 2.6-gallon gas tank living under the trunk double the range of the electric-only Mazda2 to 250 miles.
There's been talk of using a rotary to assist an alt-fuel vehicle for at least seven years, with Mazda pairing an electric motor with a rotary that ran on gas and hydrogen in a Mazda5 in 2007. Since then, almost all of those stories debating its return or demise also spoke of the oddball motor's advantages, such as compact size and ability to run on various fuels, as an aid in an unconventional powertrain.
Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.

Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
