1993 Mazda RX7 3rd Gen FD CYM Base 5spd

History:
This is the 60th 3rd gen produced by Mazda (based on the VIN). The color is Competition Yellow Mica. Mazda sold only 350 cars in this color in the US. This color was never offered in the US in the Base model. 
This is an unusual color/model combination.
I am the second owner of this car. The first owner purchased the car in Canada. He sold the car after replacing the engine when he blew a radiator hose and drove it until it overheated. I imported the car to the US in January of 1998 for use as my daily driver with 58,000 miles on the odometer. I had a rebuilt engine installed in March of 2003 with 112,963 miles on the chassis. The car became a fair weather garage queen after the rebuild and has seen only 12,000 miles since then (currently at 125,000).

Specs:
This car was originally sold in Canada. The only difference between the US and the Canadian models is the odometer displays kilometers and the car has day time running lights. Note the picture of the odometer shows 201,030 km (this is 124,941 miles).
This is a 1993 5 speed Base model 3rd generation RX7. Most of the maintenance has been performed by Mike Ploof at Berge Mazda (a Mazda 3rd gen certified and well respected mechanic).
The car is stock with the following exceptions:
 - GAB Super R adjustable shocks at all 4 corners (great shocks).
 - Eibach front sway bar.
 - Petit Racing boost gauge with mount integrated in steering housing (see picture).
 - Straight pipe replaces muffler (about a 50 lbs weight loss & great idle sound. The precats muffle most noise. The factory muffler is still available).
 - Upgraded radio: Kenwood radio/CD, Remote Kenwood 10 disc changer, Kenwood EQ, Rockford Fosgate Punch 600 Amp, Sub box.
 - Tinted windows.
The following extras were completed when engine was rebuilt 12K miles ago:
 - Stock turbos were rebuilt and balanced.
 - New wiring harness.
 - New precat.
 - Miata cooling fan temp switch installed (comes on at lower temp).
 - Replaced engine mounts.
 - AWS line capped at both ends - avoids 3K RPM @ startup.
Known faults:
 - Small wear spot in driver side seat (see picture).
 - Plastic seat belt holder on driver side seat cracked (see picture).
 - Leather worn on passenger side of stick shift knob (see picture).
 - Passenger window switch broken on driver side (see picture) (switch on passenger door works).
 - Cubby door on driver door is cracked (see picture).
 - Power antenna does not extend (common problem that I didn't fix when I realized the radio works fine without ant ext).
 - Paint chips on lower part of front bumper (see picture).
 - Small door ding in driver door (see picture) (no paint damage).
 - Small ding on top of hood (see picture) (very hard to see - even in person).
 - Paint chip in rear quarter panel (see picture).
 - Damaged driver side fog light.
 - Cassette for 10 disc changer is damaged.
 - Small plastic kick plate near drivers right knee is missing (see picture).

Vehicle is listed for local sale. Auction will be cancelled if sold locally.

Delivery may be available to the Southern California area.

Mazda hard at work on Skyactiv 2 engine technology

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

As Mazda continues the current rollout of its still-new Skyactiv technology, the automaker is already looking at improving its family of engines for even better fuel economy and emissions reductions. Automotive News reports that with stricter fuel economy and emissions regulations planned for 2020 and 2025 in Europe, Mazda will likely release engines with next-generation Skyactiv 2 technology by the end of this decade, and Skyactiv 3 units just five years later.
The latter is expected to focus on improved engine cooling and lessening energy losses, but the big news in AN's report is that the next-gen Skyactiv 2 engines will use Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI. This type of ignition is very similar to how a diesel engine operates (with high compression and using the compression stroke for fuel combustion rather than spark plugs), a method said to provide a cleaner and more efficient fuel burn - to the tune of a 30-percent improvement in fuel economy compared to current Skyactiv engines. Other automakers, including Hyundai, have already announced they are developing HCCI powerplants with similar technology and characteristics, so Mazda likely won't be a lone wolf here.
Equipped with HCCI technology, Mazda figures to be able to compete with larger automakers in terms of fuel economy and emissions without resorting to hybrid powertrains, continuously variable transmissions or automatics relying on more forward gears (eight or more) for optimal efficiency. Some of the challenges of HCCI, according to AN, include the need for better engine cooling, risk of misfire at high and low rpm and uneven engine performance based on fuel properties.

Mazda CX-30 crossover will have its U.S. debut at L.A. Auto Show

Thu, Nov 14 2019

After debuting at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the Mazda CX-30 is ready to relocate to the U.S., and is now preparing to meet its future compatriots at the LA Auto Show. The small crossover — whose name is a workaround due to the Chinese-market CX-4 crossover — is five inches longer than the new Mazda3 hatchback and five inches shorter than the CX-5 crossover. Its appeal is intended to be a mix of high maneuverability and roominess for occupants and cargo, not to mention being the second vehicle in the lineup to adopt the evolved Kodo design language first expressed on the latest Mazda3.  In Europe, the CX-30 offers buyers a range of engines from a Skyactiv-D 1.8-liter diesel to the new Skyactiv-X engine with gasoline compression ignition. Last month, Motor Trend dug up a California Air Resources Board document listing the two engines and two transmissions for the North American market. Our continent gets the 2.0-liter four-cylinder mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic, and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder mated solely to a six-speed auto. The smaller engine and manual transmission are expected to be reserved for Canadian and Mexican buyers. The U.S. likely gets the 2.5-liter, the engine that makes 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque in the Mazda3 and 187 hp in the CX-5.  Mazda's i-Activ all-wheel drive is predicted from launch, and safety features should include front cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and driver monitoring linked to a Smart Brake Support system that cuts the reaction time to issue a the driver a brake warning. The CX-30 will share the Mazda stand with the 2019 Mazda MX-5/Miata RF, refreshed 2020 CX-5 and 2020 CX-9 crossovers, the 2020 Mazda 3, and Mazda3 TCR racer. Anyone with some free time at 1:20 p.m. Pacific Time on November 11 is welcome to stream the press conference at Mazda's YouTube channel.

First batch of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miatas lands in US [w/video]

Wed, Jul 1 2015

Have you been patiently awaiting the arrival of the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata? Then we're glad to report that your patience has paid off. In fact, even if you haven't been so patient, we're still glad to report that the wait is finally over, as the first batch of the new Japanese roadsters has arrived on American soil. The initial batch of several hundred MX-5s arrived at the port of San Diego from the factory in Hiroshima on board the Phoenix Leader, a 636-foot vehicle carrier ship registered in Panama and operated by Japanese shipping giant NYK Lines. The vehicles are currently being processed at the SoCal port, with deliveries to commence "in the next several weeks," according to Mazda in the brief statement below. The fourth-generation Miata, designated generation ND, mad its global debut at the Paris Motor Show, and its US debut at the LA Auto Show. Production commenced in Japan this past March. The new roadster arrives in US showrooms with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (the smaller 1.5 kept away from these shores), a six-speed manual (replacing the previous five-cogger), a folding soft roof (no retractable hard top this time), and a starting MSRP of $24,915 (plus an $820 destination charge). That, of course, is for the base Sport model, with higher-spec Club and Grand Touring trims also on offer. Along with the images above, you can watch footage of the vehicles driving off the ship in the video below. Might we recommend, however, muting the cheesy soundtrack and playing something more suitable over it instead. Neil Diamond's (Coming to) America ought to do the trick... today!
