I have a 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE. The Buy it now price is set at a extremely fair value for this car based on the now near 30 year old average condition of the available inventory, I know it does not look like much in the pictures but dont judge this book by it's cover. I can tell you from all my years of experience with 1st generation RX'7's, this is a solid, nice foundation platform to build something of your choice or use like it is. The car has been lightened up I assume for racing by persons unknown. It has most of the interior removed, Has both front seats and they show some wear but neither is ripped or torn. Engine runs and sounds strong. Has had most accessories removed from the engine compartment, only starter & alternator remain. Has high flow inlet air filter. Car has steel braided brake lines on all four wheels and nice aftermarket steering wheel. I installed 4 near new Falkin ZE-512 tires and recently reconditioned the factory wheels & center caps. Car has 4 wheel disc brakes, rear wheel drive with a limited slip rear end with 4.07 gear ratio. Radio has been removed and a racing tach installed in the instrument cluster. All electrical, lights, signals, alternator etc appear to work. Paint job is poor and clear coat is coming off. Car has the RARE & desireable Factory 3 piece rear spoiler, I have had many offers just for the spoiler but would rather it go with the car. Car runs and drives well, when I bought the car the previous owner drove it to my house for delivery, about 30 miles without any problems. I have only driven the car around the block and seems to run & shift gears just fine, clutch seems to be in good shape. Car would be perfect platform for a track race car or V8 swap since it is already stripped down. Negative things are the front rh fender is bent at the vertical rear edge parallel to the rh door. The car has the adjustment screw for the cold start fast idle system missing, it starts good but needs accelerator help till warms up then idles fine. Rear hatch struts need to be replaced. All door and rear hatch key lock cylinders have been removed. I have clear Texas title and the registration is current till the end of Feb 2013. The state inspection just ran out at the end of 2012, it has been a regular driver. I am a 1st gen RX7 fan and currently own 9. I bought this car to part out and use the parts to keep my fleet running. I have decided this car does not deserve to be junked as it is in good driveable condition with no rust issues at all, very clean body. Mileage show 69,xxx but I doubt this is original as the dash cluster has been modified or replaced. I hope the car will go to someone that can get more good use from it and help me preserve the 1st generation legacy, they are getting harder and harder to find, especially the rare 84 & 85 GSL-SE models, I do all I can to keep them alive! Please contact me by email with questions and Thanks for looking.

Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.
