Up for auction is a 1982 Mazda RX7 GSL. After 31 years (yes, I’m the original owner ) of taking up space in my garage and hearing my wife complain, it’s time to find the RX7 a new home… I purchased the car new in 1982, used it sparingly for about three years then decided I wanted to create a show car. After about a years’ time in putting it together, followed by sometime on the local circuit, the car has remained under wraps in my garage. The RX7 has been a garage queen all its life… It’s never seen snow and as of last 5 – 10 years only taken out of the garage every other week to keep the fluids flowing. With a little TLC this vehicle could get back to show quality, turned into a weekend warrior or full blown track car.

I’ll highlight some of things that were done to the car:

· Purchased 5-1982 and has 15,416 mile on the car. Yes, that’s original miles on the car and the replace motor has just over 14,000 on it. The speedometer was sent out to Rotary Engineering for 130 MPH recalibration.

· Car is in excellent condition for being 31 years old. No rust on

· Motor- “Rotary Engineering’s Turbo Alternative” 13B 225HP Twin 36 DCD Carbs

· High performance clutch and Flywheel

· Body- Kent Racing Wide Body kit from Creative car products- Installed by Autotrix in NY

· Rims- Epsilon 15/10’s and 15/8’s

· Tires- 225-50-15F Dunlop’s Qualifiers (replaced 6 years ago) 265-50-15R BF Goodrich Comp TA’s

· Custom Stereo System with built in Escort radar detector. Yes, it and 80’s car… Back then it was the best of the best.

· Koni race strut and sway bars

· Lamb’s wool seat covers installed when the car was new.

What the car needs…

· The combination switch will need to be replaced. No High beams.

· Rear tires are 28 years old and in need of replacing.

· Spider crack in paint on rear whale tail. See picture.

· Interior dome light lens needs replacing

· Needs a tune up and jets cleaned

· Rear speakers may need replacing

· My son’s bike fell over and hit the hood of the car. The small dent was repaired by a local body shop but it might need to be touched up to get back to show quality. The average eye won’t notice it.

· AC does work, but I took the belt off of the compressor years ago to take advantage of power gains with the motor.

· Car is in excellent condition for a vehicle 31 years old…

The car is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. I have done my best to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle and will address any potential buyer’s requests prior to the close of this auction.

I will require a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of winning the auction. It will be the responsibility of the buyer to arrange for pick-up/delivery of the vehicle. Inspections can be performed prior to the auction close. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to selling the vehicle locally. Good luck and happy bidding!

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

Will Mazda show the next Miata's chassis in NY?

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

Mazda is being very sneaky about what it is bringing to the New York Auto Show, and it might have something to do with the next-generation MX-5 Miata. Australian website Motoring.com.au spoke to a company insider who told it that at least the chassis for the roadster would debut in Manhattan. The rumor goes that the show will act as the kickoff for the PR campaign for the new model.
We contacted Mazda USA PR Director Jeremy Barnes to find out more, and he would neither confirm nor deny the rumor. "Just because you read it on the Internet doesn't mean you should repeat it," he said to Autoblog. That's not exactly an outright, No.
Supporting evidence that the new drop top might be appearing in the Big Apple includes Mazda's plan to celebrate the model's 25th anniversary at the show. It's bringing 15 cars from the first three generations to display. "It will be absolutely worth attending the New York Auto Show if you're a Miata fan," Barnes said. That at least hints that there might be something he's not telling us. Otherwise it's a lot of sizzle without much steak.

Mazda CX-5 facelift leaks online

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

It's only been a couple of years since Mazda introduced its CX-5 crossover, so it's hardly in need of replacement just yet. But to keep it fresh, the Japanese automaker is apparently preparing to roll out a facelift for the compact crossover.
The facelifted model is expected to debut at the LA Auto Show later this month, but before it does, a handful of images - apparently scanned from a brochure - have leaked out online. From what we can see, it looks like the revised CX-5 features a new grille with horizontal bars, LED headlamps derived from those on the new Mazda2, new fog light surrounds, new taillight graphics and, of course, new wheels.
Unfortunately we can't see what's going on inside, but it'd be safe to bet that, along with the revised exterior detailing, Mazda's probably taken the opportunity to update the interior as well.
