CONS

  • Windshield Crack
  • A/C Blows, but not Cold.  Likely needs recharging as it has never been done in 20 years.
  • Original paint.  Looks great but as the standard rock chips, 2-3 small door dings (its an aluminum car) and the mirrors/spoilers fade if not polished regularly (a common problem for the red RX7s)

This car is awesome!  Always garage kept, 1 family owership, NEVER raced, and NEVER wrecked!  It is super fast and turns heads everywhere it goes.  "What kind of car is that?" & "Is that a Ferrari?" are a few of the comments I get.  Nobody who knows what this car is capable of won't even look at you at a red light!  If you know anything about Japanese sports cars, this is THE car to own.  Not even Supras, Sklyines, and NSXs can compare to this car.

So what makes the R1 a better buy than any other RX7?

  1. It is the stripped down race version of the RX7.  No fancy stereo system or sunroof to add weight.  Who needs that crap in a race car???
  2. It came from the factory with a functional front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, and aluminum hood.  Again, strip the weight and get some downforce for high speeds.  Ask anyone who has taken a Touring Edition to 120+ MPH, it gets really squirrelly!  The R1 sticks to the ground like rubber shoe soles on ahot Texas summ day!
  3. Rarity, rarity, rarity!  Only 1177 Red R1's built, 1665 total.  Less than half are on the road today.  And maybe 25% of those are not ragged out, torn up, or non-functionally modded out (riced out).  This is one of them!
  4. It is the fastest production car built in 1993.  Truest 50/50 weight ratio around, suspension to handle the harshest road race courses, and so much power that it could melt you into the seat when you mash the pedal.

This car is a MUST-HAVE for any serious collector!

**There is an interesting story attached to this car. My father bought it brand new in 1994.  The story is that THIS car was used by magazines to test drive. Now, I was never able to find any supporting documents, but if you look at the history of the car, it has an odd anamoly. The date of manufacture is 10/11/1993, which make this one of the last (if not THE last) R1's to roll off the assembly line. The next entry after production shows this car at auction somewhere in the Pacific Southwest. My father purchased the car from Fred Haas Mazda in Houston, TX in mid-1994.    Now, I cannot confirm nor deny any of what I have just disclosed other than what the report says.  My father passed away 10 years ago so the facts of what the story is went with him.**

$25,000 OBO

Mazda 16X rotary engine two years away, will arrive in all-new model

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

We last reported on Mazda's next-generation rotary engine project in June of 2012 when the automaker built its last Renesis-powered RX-8, but rumors of this new engine's development had been around way before that final car left the production line in Japan, last year.
We now have enthusiastic confirmation that this next-gen rotary engine is really and truly going forward. It is still referred to as 16X and has several priorities. First is to lower fuel consumption compared to the RX-8's engine, while still making gains in terms of performance. The second is to reduce the burning of oil that was happening at the highest revs. And the third and final priority, and perhaps most key for enthusiasts, is to give the powertrain a big torque upgrade.
What we were told by a Mazda USA insider (while we are all here together at the festivities in Monterey) is that the first application of the new 16X engine will be happening in two years' time in an as yet undisclosed new model. Oh, the mind races to our eternal Mazda wish list...

2014 Mazda6 earns Popular Mechanics' 'Car of the Year'

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Ring one up for Mazda. The Japanese brand's midsize offering, the Mazda6, has been named Popular Mechanics' Car of the Year. The 6 received a comprehensive reworking for the 2014 model year that saw it adopt sleek, sexy sheet metal; a clean, logical interior; and powertrain technologies that allow it to net some of the best fuel economy available in a gas-powered, non-hybrid sedan.
Popular Mechanics praised the 6's Skyactiv 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower engine, as well as its agility and responsiveness during testing. It also remarked on the functional, but well designed cabin, and the degree of available technology.
"The Mazda6 really impressed us with how well it delivers so many things modern car owners want: great mileage, fun road-handling, upscale features and looks - and remarkable value," said Jim Meigs, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics.

Mazda Skyactiv-D racer first diesel to run at Indy in 60 years

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

While it may not be touting the old "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" axiom we all know and love, Mazda recognizes that racing can only improve its cars. And so it's no surprise that the Japanese automaker is testing and refining its Skyactiv-D diesel engine by sending it out on various race tracks around the country - notably being the first diesel ever to compete at Daytona and the first to notch a Grand Am win at Road Atlanta.
Next up? Indy. It has been over 60 years since a diesel-powered machine ran at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Cummins-powered racer that competed in the 1952 Indy 500 with a 6.6-liter inline-six-cylinder oil-burner was a fast and brutal machine that set a new lap record in qualifying leading up to the race. Though that car was withdrawn with turbocharger failure 71 laps in, its diesel powerplant left an indelible impression on the racing community, and that's something Mazda hopes to accomplish once again.
Mazda says that the diesel engine in its race car is pretty darn close to stock - 51 percent stock by parts count, and 63 percent stock by weight - which means the way it performs in competition is at least a somewhat meaningful way to the stock engine's durability in the real world. Check out the image of the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racer posing alongside the 1952 Cummins above (click to enlarge) and feel free to peruse the press release below for the rest of the details.
