1993 Mazda Rx7, Florida Car, Lots Of Upgrades on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:85500
Location:

Naples, Florida, United States

Naples, Florida, United States

I bought this car for my mid life crisis car to replace the 1993 Rx7 I had back when they were new.  

This car  is fun to drive but my being older means it kills my back getting in and out of the car and I can't get comfortable, so I will stick to my antique cars for my mid life crisis instead .  Some things just are not as much fun the second time around ( like marrying your ex wife again ) and put this up for sale.

1993 Mazda Rx7.

In the past year the following have been done;

1. tune up- new platinum plugs, new wires, new coil packs
2. New front and rear cross drilled and slotted brake rotors and pads
3. New Optima battery relocated to the bin behind the driver's seat
4. New aluminum race quality heavy duty radiator + twin fans
5. New aluminum race quality large turbo intercooler
6. New silicone cooling and vacuum hoses
7. New aluminum race quality coolant air tank
8. New APEXi air intake system
9. complete flush and fill of all lubricants and replacing with synthetic fluids
10. New 145 degree thermostat and gasket and water pump
11. New belts
12.  New rear strut bar
13.  New struts
14. New turn signal / drive lamp assemblies


The following need attention:
1. Fuel filler door pops open ( have it temporarily stuck closed so it doesn't open when driving ) and it works as is but it is not a permanent fix
2. Prior owner was in the middle of changing the interior from tan to black, so the carpets,headliner , and back bins are still tan ( which you can leave or change to black to match the rest if you like ). I just left it since
    it didn't bother me.
3. Odometer just blinked out 2 weeks ago, was at approx. 85,500 - I just bought a replacement dash cluster with a working odo if you want to replace it- it is included
4. black plastic on some inside surfaces such as doors and console needs to be refinished, covered or painted-
5. there are some very minor parking lot dings on the body ( see pictures )

Prior owner did the following.
1. new sound system with amp, head, speakers etc
2. 17 inch rims with matched set of ZR rated Cooper tires - still at least 50 % left
3. they tinted the windows which helps here in Florida
4. upgraded tail light assemblies
5. front air splitter
6. a pillar gauges


Since this is now a 21 year old used car, it is sold as is, where is, with no warranties.  Wow, 21 years - now I feel even older.  Email if you want to see or drive the car

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

2014 Mazda Skyactiv Prototype looks ready for Daytona

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

With less than two weeks before the Mazda Skyactiv Prototype makes its race debut at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Japanese Zoom-Zoom brand brought its diesel-powered racer to the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
The red prototype marks Mazda's return to prototype racing, and will campaign the inaugural Tudor United SportsCar Championship using a 2.2-liter, SkyActiv-D diesel engine. With 451 horsepower on tap and 580 pound-feet of torque, the racer should stand up well against a field of gas-powered competitors.
Should the Skyactiv win Daytona, it'll be a coup for Mazda. The racer is running an engine with over 50 percent of its parts drawn from the oft-delayed production Skyactiv-D. Head up top for our full gallery of images of the new Skyactiv Prototype. The 2014 Rolex 24 will be run from January 25 to 26.

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014



Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.
