1995 Mazda Rx-7 Base Coupe 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Billings, Montana, United States
|
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 Come to find out, the speakers had already been replaced by a previous owner, but with the head unit bad, I had no idea, and continued with my install.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. |

Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.
Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
2016 Mazda CX-5 keeps it simple
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Take a long, hard look, folks. This is the refreshed 2016 Mazda CX-5, which makes its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today. And if you're thinking, "Say, that looks just like the old one," you really aren't alone. The visible updates certainly aren't major - Mazda has instead focused on giving the already-good CX-5 some thoughtful upgrades to make it a more attractive package than ever.
Outside, there are some slight changes to the styling, including new LED light signatures at the front and rear, as well as redesigned foglamp housings. Uplevel models also ride on attractive new 19-inch alloy wheels, with a dark finish.
Under the hood, it's all the same. Mazda's Skyactiv 2.0- and 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines carry over, with 155 and 184 horsepower, respectively. Front-wheel-drive, 2.5-liter models get a small bump in fuel economy, too - the CUV is now rated at 26 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, up from 25/32. Models equipped with the automatic transmission now benefit from different drive modes, as well.
