Immaculate 1993 RX7. Fresh Pettit racing rebuild less than 2000 miles ago. Never tracked or raced, this car was purpose built to be reliable, comfortable and clean. I have owned 4 RX7's in the last 22 years and the FD is by far the sexiest car around. I have assembled this car to run for years without issues and to be used for occasional date nights with my favorite lady! The engine is a mild street port engine with cooling passage modifications for improved cooling, as well as some other Pettit racing proprietary workings. Turbos are stock but the center housing rotating assemblies are brand new, only the manifold is original. Pettit racing 3" down and midpipes to an Apexi N1 dual exhaust system finalize the exhaust duties. Apexi Power FC handles the engine controls, 850cc primary injectors and 1300cc secondaries feed the thirsty powerplant and an HKS twinpower ignition amp ensures clean and thorough combustion. Pettit racing comp aluminum radiator, and Cool Charge 3 Intercooler handles cooling duty, and the radiator ensures that the engine stays cool even with the AC on full blast in the heat of summer. Oh yes, have to have Cold AC! The exterior of the car is mostly stock except a subtle ShineAutoProject lower rear RE style diffuser and ShineAutoProject Feed style carbon fiber side skirts adorn the body. Avante Garde 19X9.5 and 19X8.5" wheels punctuate the fender openings and stopping duties are handled by Pettit Racing's Trak Pro BBK up front with 12.75" diameter rotors and huge 4 piston Outlaw calipers, these are the best brakes made as a bolt on upgrade for the FD3S! Stainless brake lines are also installed. Additionally, Pettit Trak Pro fully adjustable coilovers are installed to maintain the proper attitude and ride quality. Inside the car, the black interior is very clean, the leather is in mint condition with only a small wear spot on the driver seat from ingress and egress. No tears or rips at all! I have installed JDM rear seats in the car for my little guys to ride with me, but will include the bins in the sale for you. The steering wheel, shift boot and ebrake handle have been restitched in grey leather with teal stitching for a bit of contrast to the black interior as well as professionally painted center console and gauge cluster. This car needs nothing. When I purchased it, it had a spoiler on the rear decklid, however, I removed it and have placed caps in place. The rear lights are scratch and crack free as well as leak free! HID's have been installed in the pop up headlights and a 99 spec lip has been added to the lower front end. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I can be reached via cell phone or text at (816)516-8610. Ask for Art. NO REASONABLE offer will be refused. Make me an offer, you don't know if you don't ask. Thanks.

Mazda's first profit in five years in sight due to weak yen
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda is set to turn a profit for the first time in five years. The automaker is more dependent on exports from Japan than other automakers based in that country, and as a result, it has long suffered at the hands of a strong yen. But the currency has declined in value by some 16 percent over the past six months and Mazda's shares have tripled in value to their highest level since 2008. Contrast this situation to a year ago when Mazda printed 1.22 billion new shares to raise cash. The move was equivalent to 70 percent of the company's then-outstanding stock, and values tumbled to record lows as a result.
Now that the yen has fallen to a value of around 96 per dollar, Mazda operations in the US are more profitable and the company now projects it will earn around $279 million for the next fiscal year. Automotive News says a one yen change against the dollar can have a 9.1 percent impact on Mazda operating profit compared to 4.7 percent at Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries or 3.1 percent at Toyota. Those automakers better insulate themselves from currency fluctuations with overseas manufacturing facilities.
R&T chases down a burglar in the million-mile Miata
Mon, 04 Aug 2014Is the answer always Mazda Miata? We discussed this in passing on the Autoblog Podcast earlier this week, and most assuredly the answer is "no." For example, the little MX-5 would be a terrible people carrier, and it'd be useless off road. You can't really tow anything of substance with it, either. Still, if push came to shove, it's satisfying to know that the diminutive roadster could eke out a career as a chase vehicle for the police.
That fact was proven when Road & Track editor Chris Cantle did something that he himself recognizes as "stupid." Upon returning home, Cantle discovered a "twenty-something" actively burgling his home. The resulting story is easily one of the more entertaining episodes to come out of the 1990 MX-5's service to the team at R&T and, we're guessing, will be one of the highlights of the Million-Mile Miata challenge.
Be sure to head over to Road & Track for a full retelling of the chase from Cantle, as well as a follow-up on the saga.
Feds investigating 2010-11 Mazda CX-9 CUVs over braking issues
Mon, 17 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 62,000, 2010-2011 Mazda CX-9 models over brake problems. The government safety watchdog says it has received seven complaints of an observed loss of power braking power to stop the crossover, according to the The Detroit News.
The NHTSA complaints say that the problem causes a hard pedal, increased braking effort and reduced braking effectiveness. Some complaints allege that they hear a hissing noise during braking similar to the sound of air leaving the tires. No injuries or crashes have been reported.
"As always, we are fully cooperating with NHTSA on their investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," said Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to The Detroit News.
