I am selling my 1993 Mazda RX7 that is in incredible shape. Pictures nor words will do this car justice. The chassis has ~100K miles and the body is 100% original with incredible original paint. The body has two very minor dings from a door or similar over the years but neither has chipped the paint. There is one spot about the size of golf ball on the rear bumper cover where the clear coat has faded (and only in this one spot). Interior is in perfect shape and everything works. Sound system is a Kenwood head unit with sub and amp. Very nice quality sound throughout the car. Absolutely nothing is flawed inside the car. All doors, deck and hood open and close easily and solidly. Not a spec of rust anywhere on the car. Bilstein shocks and lowering springs (done right) all the way around the car. Larger cross drilled and vented rotors with Mazda racing calipers at all four corners. Light weight SSR wheels all the way around with Yokohama rubber. The rear tires should be replaced as they are worn. (honestly, this car will spin the tires under moderate acceleration in 2nd gear, no burnouts have ever been done since I have owned the car).
Engine modified and rebuilt 13K miles ago with over $13K of receipts. Some of the modifications are as follows:
- Apexi ECU and Power Commander Programmer (if you don't know what this is, you really need to check it out)
- Greddy Profec Spec S electronic boost controller (set to 12 psi and easily capable of 17 psi without an effort) to control peak boost and ramp rate of the boost
- Stock Twin Turbos upgraded to a single GT35R turbo
- Greddy BOV
- Greddy aluminum induction tube
- Ported and polished throttle body
- Street ported rotor housings
- Ported and polished oil passages
- Large Nippondenso injectors
- All vacuum lines replaced / minimized
- Twin oil coolers
- Huge air to air inter-cooler
- HKS ignition
- Racing Beat Exhaust
- 4.30:1 gears
Enough of the parts info.... Here is what you really want to know: This thing is ridiculously fast. This is NOT a car for a kid or even a young adult. I've drag raced in the NMRA for years and this street car has more rolling power and acceleration than my 10.31 second Mustang. The kicker is this car handles like a road course car. It was actually built and owned by the previous local president of the RX7 club who also had his own rotary performance distribution store. This car was his show car but was built to run and not just shine. The car pumps 420hp to the tires as it is right now. Turn up the boost and it is just plain uncontrollable and dangerous. It is the most fun car I have EVER owned and I don't really want to sell it but I know I will either kill myself in the car or get my license taken away so I am trying to do the responsible thing and sell the car before its too late (one way or another).
The absolute only things wrong with the car is a very tiny chip in the windshield and it has the typical 5th gear grind when engaging 5th gear (however 5th is only used at 70+ and there is no hesitation, just a small grind the second it is going in)
Everywhere I go, this car gets a ton of attention. Non-stop compliments are a given. Embarrassing Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros and even motorcycles at will is a given as well. This car has a slightly better power to weight ratio as a crotch rocket bike. The ONLY challenge is getting the tires to stay planted. It was not a cliche' when I said it will light up the tires at the top of 2nd when the boost is at full bore.
Now for the rules:
This car is my pride and joy, I welcome anyone to come look at the car but no one will be allowed to drive the car until cash in hand.
Local pick up only.
The car CAN be driven anywhere, it does not get hot.
I will not ship the car but I will help you get the car picked up if you do the shipping logistics details.
$500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal at the time of auction end, pick up and full payment CASH within 7 days.
Please do not waste my time if you can't afford the car.
Please call me for additional details @ 317.379.1749
Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Mazda Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history
Wed, 10 Sep 2014The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.
Mazda3 successor due in dealers this fall
Sat, 23 Mar 2013Following exciting new models like the 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6, Mazda is getting ready to introduce the next generation of its high-volume compact, the Mazda3. After talking to several of Mazda's dealers, Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is planning to introduce its new compact this fall, which is earlier than what was originally reported.
Aside from what we've seen in recent spy shots and what appeared to be a full-scale design mockup back in October, there is little information about the third-generation 3, but we can see that the car will get plenty of cues from Mazda's stylish Kodo design language, and we expect even more technologies from the company's SkyActiv efficiency program to come to bear. AN says that Mazda is hoping to top 300,000 sales this year in the US, and the sooner Mazda can replace the current aging 3, the better chances it has at reaching that goal.
Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Alfa giveth and Alfa taketh away. With apologies to Job (he has gone through a lot, after all), that's how things are looking at the Italian automaker - whether it's the promise of new products or its impending return to the North American market. But it's especially true when it comes to new roadsters.
While Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the 4C Spider at the Geneva Motor Show this week, reports are now suggesting that its other roadster project is being called into question. That project is a joint venture between Fiat and Mazda, which was set to produce a version of its next MX-5 Miata as an Alfa Romeo, and was even changing the design to accommodate Alfa's requirements.
Now it appears, however, that the whole project in doubt. The problem seems to stem from Sergio Marchionne's pronouncements that, as long as he's in charge, there won't be an Alfa Romeo built outside of Italy.
