Hey!  Up for sale is what most consider to be one of the few real sports cars.  This 1995 Mazda Rx7 is a true example, with only minor improvements made. 66,4xx miles.  As a silver 95 base, it is one of six imported in 1995 with those options (see photos for import numbers) and 1 of a mere 500 total imported 95 Rx7’s.  Pair that with a VIN ending in 529, and you may very well be looking at the last FD brought to the US.  Extremely rare, and in incredible condition. 

The interior shows little to no wear. A couple minor blemishes, such as the power mirror control having a loose mounting tab, and the stock shift knob showing wear for an almost 20 year old car.  The previous owner also installed keyless entry, which was a custom job due to there not being a motor in the door to do so.  One was added, and is nice to have! The driver’s floor mat had seen better days, I just haven’t sourced a new one yet.  Currently there is a SakeBomb Garage footrest in the passenger side.  This is a design piece that came from the newer Rx7’s in Japan.  It is easily removable, and may be removed and sold separately depending on final price.  Controlling this car currently is an Apexi Power FC with controller.  There’s not too many great options for mounting the controller, so as you can see in pictures, it props up nicely in the coin holder. This gives you the ability to monitor and tune on the fly, and lets you keep an eye on up to 8 aspects of the motor.  This is also an easy removal, and again, depending on price may be switched back to the stock computer. The original owner’s manual, and all paperwork are intact and accounted for. 

The stock amp died in the head unit, so I did a thorough Kenwood upgrade.  Head unit, followed by speakers front and rear.  Total for the system was over 1k.  Come to find out, the speakers had already been replaced by a previous owner, but with the head unit bad, I had no idea, and continued with my install. Could use a subwoofer at some point, but really, this is a sports car, not a concert hall.  Sound deadener would be a huge improvement, but I drive more with the radio off, and the incredible symphony of the motor more than music playing.    

The exterior has brand new paint, literally completed on 9/19/13.  The paint was neglected, and in need of a refresh.  It is glass smooth, and has an intense mirror finish.  As you can see from the pictures, the fit and finish of every single panel is second to none.  The gaps, and alignment are absolutely spot on.  When the car was in the body shop, I opted for tail lights from a 2001 rx7 straight from Japan, giving it a much more modern appearance, as well as APR carbon fiber mirrors.  All bulbs on the exterior have been upgraded to high end LED bulbs, as well as the interior dome and rear hatch light.  I modified the stock turn signal relay to accept LED lighting to remove the hyper flash that is common with lower wattage led lighting. Headlights have also been upgraded. All the corner lights as well as the front turn signals are tinted.  I did not, however, tint the stock reflectors, I still have them.  I just bought an aftermarket set to tint.    

The wheels are stock, but have essentially brand new bridgstone potenzas.  The previous owner had about 800 miles on them, and I have about a 1000 miles total since I bought the car.

The engine is relatively stock.  No crazy porting, no running issues whatsoever.  It also has a fresh tune up, including spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, and an oil change.  Essential parts of owning a rotary.  Also, a carbon fiber cooling panel was just added yesterday actually (9/20) to aid in air flow, and improve under hood appearance.  The panel is a very simple piece that essentially just sets in place.  The stock part is available.  The exhaust was upgraded by a previous owner to a Blitz Nur Spec system.  In my opinion, it sounds amazing.  Not whiny or irritating, but deep and aggressive for a rotary.  This is a car you literally can walk out to anytime, and it starts right up, no smoke, no hesitation.

The suspension has been upgraded by Stance brand coil-overs, custom valved by Rishie at AutoRnD.com.  With a many features to give an extremely smooth ride, yet aggressive cornering, this is the best suspension I’ve ever ridden with.  The car underwent a full alignment after install, and there is at the most 700 miles on the system.  I also added Greddy front and rear strut tower bars, giving increased stability and chassis rigidity. They are sharp, but could use a good polishing/powdercoating.

Extras included in the car if the price is right:  a full size binder style factory service manual specific to the 95.  Also have a small “travel” size service manual.  I have the stock radiator cover, as well as the corner lights.  The service manuals may or may not be sold separately, if interested parties step forward, but the car parts will remain with the car.

Payment is due within 7 days.  A $1000.00 dollar deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction, unless other arrangements are made.  I am minutes from the local airport, Billings Logan International (BIL), and can pick you up if you decide to fly in and road trip home.  Can also help in coordinating shipping, just let me know where to get the car and cover gas to the shipping dock. I do have the title in hand, just have to get a sign off from the local credit union when the note is paid.  A few minute deal.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

6 best cars for $5,000

Sat, Aug 11 2018

Looking for a great used car but only have a few thousand bucks to spend? Check out our 6 favorite used vehicles that you can get for around $5,000 or less. 1. 2004-2006 Subaru WRX The Subaru Impreza WRX offers a lot of what you might want in a vehicle. A 2L turbocharged engine gives 227 horsepower and it gets 27 mpg on the highway. 2. 2006-2015 Mazda5 The Mazda5 never got the sales it deserved. It was affordable and more maneuverable than most vehicles, but it never took off. It was based on the Mazda3, and felt like it as well... just a bigger version. If you're lucky, you'll be able to locate one with a manual transmission. 3. 1990-1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata A car that's praised for rewarding the driver. The shifter is sublime, and the controls are light and accurate. The 1.6-liter engine that makes 115 horsepower or a 1.8-liter that makes 128 horsepower are our preferred versions. 4. 2009-2013 Honda Fit Beside being cute, it's supremely practical and great in the city. It manages to be pretty entertaining to drive, and let's not forget it's a hatchback. 5. 1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler Yes, it's possible to get a well-loved Jeep Wrangler with about 100,000 miles on the odometer. In many ways, a Wrangler is perfect for the snowy winters with its unrivaled 4x4 capability. An SUV, convertible and icon, all in one? What more could you ask for? 6. 2002 Chevy Silverado Truck lovers, we have you covered. We love the Chevy Silverado with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. It makes a great second car, especially if you already have a fuel efficient vehicle around the house. What would you buy for $5,000?

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
