For sale is one of the most desirable import vehicles available, a 1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible. This vehicle is in good shape for its year, has very low miles, and is extremely fun to drive. A great car for those of you who are looking for a great vehicle platform to work with and modify. Please feel free to look at my full description of the RX7, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible:
The Great:
Low Miles: 111,417 (Not typical for this Year and for the convertible model)
Brakes are year old (Brake Pads, Rotors, and one new Caliper)
Tune-Up was done less than a year ago (NKG Iridium Spark Plugs; NKG Performance Wires)
Tires: Bridgestone Potenzas (they are still in great shape, and stick so well, especially on those tight turns!)
New Battery: Three months old
Cold Air Intake
The car has been lowered.
The Rotary Engine: It's clean, pulls very well, and has been extremely reliable.
The Transmission: The shifts are great, and is a great testament to Mazda's engineering.
The Clutch: It is 2 years old, F1 RACING STAGE 3 PERFORMANCE clutch. It performs beautifully, consistently, even with high-revving.
The body is rust free.
The convertible Top is 2 years old. No tears, very clean, and durable.
I have kept up with the maintenance, especially the oil changes (I consistently used Mobil 1 synthetic oil).
I have not beat the car up during my two years of ownership.
This was my first RX7, and I loved it. I am sad to see it go, especially because it was so reliable and fun. The rotary engine is as great as its reputation. However, it is time for someone else to enjoy this great machine.
What the RX7 will need:
New mufflers
The front bumper will need fixed on the left-hand side (see picture)
A new radio

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in motion for the first time
Fri, 05 Sep 2014By now, you've already poured over the details (however few there may be) and images of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. For us enthusiasts, it's arguably the most important new car debut of the year, and for Mazda, it marks the 25th anniversary of its iconic roadster - something that's being celebrated all weekend long out in Monterey, CA.
Our resident Miata owner, Chris Paukert, is out in sunny California and just passed along this video, showing all four generations of the MX-5 in motion (slowly), on the road at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This is the first time the 2016 MX-5 has been shown driving under its own power, and it will join a wealth of other roadsters as Mazda attempts to break the world record for most Miatas in one place at one time.
Have a look at the emailed-from-an-iPhone-quality video above, and then take a moment to read Paukert's own notes from the ND Miata's live showing earlier this week, here.
Road & Track to take Miata on million-mile march
Sat, 11 Jan 2014Road & Track has taken on a Miata project. One hell of a project, if we're honest. You see, the Miata in question, a 1989 example in Mariner Blue, isn't a high-mileage Mazda that the publication intends to fix up, or make race-worthy, or try to flip or give away to a reader or something. No, it's a rather typical well-used NA, with a hefty 325,000 miles on the clock to-date that the staff plans on driving until the six-digit odo reads all zeros again. One million miles or bust (or both, most likely).
Procured for the bargain-basement price of $1,600, complete with seat covers that "really do look like muppet pelts" (according to Zach Bowman) and a bondo-filled love tap on the nose, the NA Miata actually looks like just the sort of fun-machine that a real driving enthusiast would pick up to get some cheap thrills in. The R&T team already has some interesting plans for the Miata, including a potential run up Pikes Peak and loaning it out to readers (or perhaps your author...). Click through to read all about it.
Mazda recalls 109k Tribute models for rust issue
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Mazda Tribute is being hit with a similar recall as its platform-mate the Ford Escape underwent a few weeks ago. Mazda is recalling 109,000 Tributes from model years 2001 to 2004. On the trucks, the subframe can rust from road salt, potentially causing the lower control arm to detach. If this happens, a loss of steering control could occur.
Mazda is adding a reinforcement crossbrace for added strength on the affected models. The recall covers Tributes currently registered in or originally sold in 20 northern states and Washington, DC, where road salt is used.
The reinforcement braces aren't available yet to do the repair. Mazda will send a letter in May to owners of affected vehicles that will inform them of the problem, and a second letter telling them when the parts will be ready. Scroll down to read the full recall press release.
