Hi everyone and thanks for looking at my 1985 RX-7 GSL-SE   Chances are if you are looking at this, you already know about what makes this car special from factory so I will only touch upon that stuff briefly and let the pictures do most of the talking..

This particular car is a Royal Maroon code 3A GSL-SE made in April of 1985   This was a very limited production color and rumor has it that there were only two each given to each dealer in the USA.  One had leather and the other had the Grey cloth of which this one is.   The only option this car does NOT have is power steering.  The GSL-SE had every other option available and being a 1985 and late production one at that, it had some other nice things.

The GSL-SE had upgraded clutch and 5 speed as well as a limited slip differential and stouter rear suspension with gas charged shocks
The best part is the fuel injected 135 hp 1.3L rotary motor known as the 13B.  This motor kicks ass!!
Air conditioning as well as upgraded stereo, lumbar adjustable and height adjustable drivers seat, 14inch wheels ( 205-60-14 )

ok so now about this particular car….

Yes, it only has 59K original miles.   The interior is beautiful, and it has never been in an accident or been hit.  It has never been repainted but the clear coat on the hood is starting to check quite a bit.  The color is still there but the sheen is gone on the hood only

The best thing about this car is how amazingly original it is.  It has not been messed with but it has been taken care of.
Just about everything with the exception of the fluids is original!
The pictures speak for the condition but they can't tell you that the AC works perfectly, all interior lights illuminate and all warning lights function as they should.
Even the light for the ignition switch lights up when the door is open.
map light,  over head light as well as rear cargo light work
The stereo functions perfectly, even the weird directional switch in the console works.  
The electric windows operate at a  good speed,  Cruise control works, horn and all ventilation stuff works perfectly.
The rear defrost works but the rear wiper does not and the power antenna makes noise but thats about it
There are no cracks in the dash, the glovebox light works and all dash lights at night glow a beautiful red. 
The center console box/lid is excellent  The headliner is mint, the carpet is excellent and the original floor mats are present. The steering wheel is perfect
ALL glass is original Mazda with proper markings
I replaced the rear glass hatch shocks but I still have them, I replaced the spark plug wires ( they are dated 1985!!!) and I still have those as well
The engine starts easily and does  not smoke.   The radiator is clean and free of corrosion.  Nothing has been altered in the engine bay
I did replace the spark plugs and O2 sensor. 
The clutch is smooth and does not grab or chatter.  the brakes are excellent
The tires are ehhh…  about 75% worn but I have driven far on them and they seem to be just fine. 
This car is tight as a drum, no rattles and no leaks.   NO LEAKS!!!
There are misc tiny nicks and scratches here and there.. its 30 years old!!!!
The drivers door weatherstripping is dried out and cracked. Still seals OK though
The windshield is perfect!!  Not chipped or sand blasted and its original mazda as well

I wish I could keep this beauty but I don't care for how I fit it in and neither does my son.    You can drive this anywhere. 

I have TONS of pictures that I will post a link at the end for you  to go to.  

Now, here are some extra cool things
I have the original window sticker, all original books and manuals including a factory service manual

It has the factory rare as hens teeth REAR SEAT!! with seat belts.  It folds down too!
I still have the original storage boxes with lids that will go with the car, One of the little locks is missing on one of the boxes
I have the sunroof black storage bag and If you want I can get you the optional glass sunroof for $50 bucks from my local shop

This car pulls hard!!  Handles like a dream, tight as a drum and rides excellent.  You will be pleased

Feel free to call me with any questions.   
Peter (408) 466- 3838   

LOTS AND LOTS Of additional pictures are available simply by asking me for them!  I couldn't figure out how to add a link for them but I can send this to you
Note to Ebay, HEY!!  get with it and allow more pictures.. please :)
 Please note that I work on Monday and Tuesday and can be hard to get ahold of between 10am-7pm on those days, otherwise, Im pretty free and

Turbocharged 2018 Mazda6 EPA mileage figures released

Tue, Feb 13 2018

A few months after the reveal of the new turbocharged variant of the Mazda6, we now know how much more fuel the force-fed family sedan will require. The EPA rating puts it at 31 mpg on the highway, 23 in the city and 26 combined. That is less than the naturally aspirated model with either an automatic transmission or a manual, the former of which gets 35 mpg highway, 26 in town and 29 combined. But the naturally aspirated Mazda6's 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque are well short of the turbo engine's 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet. The turbo Mazda6's fuel economy also puts it right in the range of similarly powerful sedans in the mid-size arena. In fact, almost every 2018 2.0-liter turbocharged sedan in the segment gets 26 mpg combined, including Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata, Chevy Malibu, Buick Regal, and most versions of the Honda Accord, with only a difference of 1 or 2 mpg in city or highway results. The V6 Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima also hit this 26 mpg fuel economy mark. As far as power is concerned, the Mazda6 is also very even with the competition, most of which makes right around 250 horsepower, though the Toyota Camry's naturally aspirated V6 is a class-leader at 301 horsepower. But the 6's advantage is in torque. None of the mainstream family sedans touch the Mazda's whopping 310 pound-feet. The 2.0-liter Honda Accord and Ford Fusion come the closest at 273 and 275 pound-feet respectively. To beat the Mazda6 would require going for the Ford Fusion Sport, which is a unique step up in the segment with a turbocharged V6 making 380 pound-feet. The Fusion Sport takes a serious hit in the fuel economy department, though, getting just 20 mpg combined. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Oliver Jarvis in a Mazda takes pole in star-studded Rolex 24 at Daytona

Fri, Jan 25 2019

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Oliver Jarvis broke a 26-year-old record at Daytona International Speedway in putting the Mazda DPi from Team Joest on the pole for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Jarvis went to the top of the scoring chart early in Thursday's qualifying session with a lap at 1 minute, 33.685 seconds. It broke the mark by two-tenths of a second set by P.J. Jones in 1993 in a GTP-class Toyota. The Englishman spoiled a strong run by Team Penske, which qualified second and third for the twice-round-the-clock endurance race that begins Saturday. Ricky Taylor earned the second spot in Penske's Acura ARX-05, while teammate Juan Pablo Montoya was third in his first time qualifying the sports car for the organization. Team Joest wound up first and fourth on the starting grid with Jonathan Bomarito putting its second car on the second row. Felipe Nasr had the fastest Cadillac DPi-V.R in fifth for Action Express Racing. Nasr is the reigning IMSA champion and led the way for four more Cadillacs in qualifying. Jordan Taylor was sixth for Wayne Taylor Racing, ahead of Juncos Racing's Agustin Canapino, then Tristan Vautier and Stephen Simpson for JDC-Miller Motorsports. James Allen in an Oreca 07 Gibson for DragonSpeed won the LMP2 pole. In the GT Le Mans class, Nick Tandy put a Porsche on the pole as four different manufacturers qualified in the first two rows. IMSA GTLM champion Jan Magnussen of Corvette Racing was second, Ryan Briscoe in a Ford GT for Chip Ganassi Racing was third and followed by Davide Rigon in Risi Competizione's Ferrari 488. Marcos Gomes gave Via Italia's Ferrari 488 the pole in the GT Daytona class. Related Video:
