I originally bought this 93 RX7 in October of 2012 with the intention of working on it over time to turn it into a track car, but as life would have it I have had little free time and haven’t touched it since I bought the car.
I bought the car from its previous owner in Northern California with a 120k on the chassis and (an unconfirmed) 50k on the powertrain. I test drove the car and found that it drove well and looked nice in person so I bought it and had it shipped to Phoenix, Arizona (where I live and where the car is located now). Since the shipping company dropped off the car it wasnt running, but it turned out to be a loose ground on the starter motor which has since been fixed. I have not driven the car in over a year, but it starts up and settles down into a nice idle after a minute or so. I am not sure what engine swap kit was used or what donor car the LS1 was harvested from. The car has a clean car fax with no accidents. Here is a list of known issues: 1. The body is in overall good condition, but there are paint chips along both front fenderwells (see pictuers), as well as a couple poorly repaired scratches on the driver’s side fender. Also, the driver’s side headlight cover is a different shade of red than the rest of the car. Driver's side exterior door handle doesn't open the door when it is locked, which is a well known issue with the FD chassis RX7. Also, fuel door sometimes sticks. 2. Electrical: this is the one area where I think the car needs the most attention. Just from looking under the dash, the wiring isn’t labeled and the connections were done with taps and splices. The car would really benefit from a new harness (as can be purchased from Jordan Innovations). The car currently has no radio or A/C. During my test drive, the speedo was not working as car needs dakota digital signal converter. 3. The interior panels are in good condition. The original seats are not included; instead there are momo seats and steering wheel, as well as a roll bar which has been bolted in. I have the interior panels stored and bagged, and these will be included with the car (I removed these interior panels to inspect the condition of the body of the car). 4. Suspension: car is on D-1 drift spec coilovers with no apparent issues 5. Wheels/tires: XXR 527’s are brand new, tires 6. The car currently is running, but hasn't been driven in over a year. My honest estimation is that with some attention to the electrical system and TLC to the details, this car can be a very nice LS swapped RX7. I am not in a rush to sell nor do I need to sell, but it makes little sense to hold on to the car when it is just gathering dust. Please note the following: -I will not be replying to any offers of cars -I have the clear title in hand. I will sign title over to the new owner once car is paid for in full. -Buyers who have demonstrated the ability to afford the car through a cash statement or pre-qualified loan letter are welcome to inspect the car in person in Phoenix, AZ. -Buyer to arrange and pay for the cost of shipping. |

Car Club USA: Miatas at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Tue, Nov 17 2015The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a very popular car for weekend warriors looking for the thrill of automotive racing in an affordable package. These iconic, rear-wheel-drive roadsters are lauded by enthusiasts for their driving dynamics, reasonable price, and plethora of available parts. That's why the annual Miatas at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca track event draws such a diverse cross section of drivers from allover the country. But, still, some types of drivers are more well-represented than others. "I usually am the only female signed up for the high-performance driving," said Carolyn Kulaja of Gila Monster Racing. "The car doesn't care the gender of the person driving." For Carolyn, racing Miatas is a passion that developed later in life, but she's not slowing down anytime soon. "My first racecar was car number 57, which was my age when I started racing," said Carolyn. "The 88 I decided was going to be my age when I quit racing." Young competitor Kyle Koh of Infotech Motorsports has his own reasons for racing. "Driving has changed my life in a major way," said Kyle. "It took me out of a depression." Kyle's first competitive fire was directed toward football, but after breaking his back during his sophomore year of high school, he had to find another outlet. "Kyle came to me one day and he decided that he wanted a project car," explained Kyle's father and racing partner Larry Koh. "Because the Miata community is so friendly to begin with, it becomes a big family." How will Carolyn and Kyle fare through Laguna Seca's infamous corkscrew? Find out on this episode of Car Club USA. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.
2015 Mazda2 spotted on the road
Tue, 15 Apr 2014When Mazda unveiled the Hazumi Concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, our excitement for the next Mazda2 increased considerably. The Hazumi looks to retain much of the driving character that makes the current 2 one of the very best cars in its segment while infusing it with more aggressive styling. Of course, when the 2 arrives, it won't look exactly like the Hazumi. That's why these spy photos are so important.
This is our very first look at the next-generation 2, and although the Hazumi influence might be difficult to discern, thanks to the swirly camo, it's still there. The grille shape and the headlights are very similar in shape to the items shown on the concept, while the camouflage disguises the shape of the greenhouse, which looks somewhat like the Hazumi.
What we can't see, though, is under the hood. That's where our spies come in, reporting that a pair of 1.5-liter SkyActiv engines will see action in the tossable 2. The former, which we'll almost certainly see in the US, is a gas-powered mill found in the Euro-spec Mazda3. In the larger 3, it produces 99 horsepower and 111 pound-feet of torque, which is broadly similar to what the current 2's 1.5-liter pumps out. The other engine, a 1.5-liter SkyActiv diesel, probably won't be making the trip, although we'll continue to hope.
