1987 Mazda RX-7 with 350 V8 engine and 700R4 Automatic Transmission and lots more…
I love this car! But. my wife says that it is time for it to go. I do not have time to really enjoy the car anymore. And my wife wants her garage back. I have approx. $30. 00 in mechanical upgrades and body work in this car. The “House of Color” paint job with bodywork alone cost $10. 00. This car was created with a lot of sweat. money and ingenuity. The only thing that was not fixed or replaced on the car is the gas tank and the seat covers!
This car basically has a 1992 Pontiac Trans-am drive train in it. Here are the main specifications for the car. 350 V8 Engine – Was installed using a Granny's Speed Shop engine cradle kit. Slightly. lifted CAM – I do not remember the specifications for the CAMHowell EFI Multi-Port Fuel Injection and Ignition SystemUses an Edlebrock multi-port intake manifold. throttle body. harness. TPI ECM. with HEI GM distributor and coil. This kit allows the engine to run in closed loop mode. This kit alone cost $2. 00. 00AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs (Installed last summer. )All new Spark Plug wiresWired the “Service Engine Soon” Indicator to the Mazda's original “system” dumb light on the dash. (This is for looks. I wanted the interior of the car to look original. This is an example of some of the extra details that were taken with making this a sweet car!)Electrical System100 Amp on wire Chevy Alternator. Red Top Optima Battery – Mounted in the rear of the car behind the tower speakers. All of the unnecessary Mazda wires were removed from the car. Only the wires needed to run the car were left in place. This makes for a clean looking installation. The electronics was calibrated so that all the sensors and gauges work on the car just like factory. (The only exception is the speedometer. The speedometer is still approximately 5-miles per hour fast at 60MPH. )Cooling System22”x19”x3” Aluminum Radiator equal to a 5-row radiator rated for 480HP (Purchased from Granny's Speed Shop. )I had a custom air dam built for the front end of the car by a professional hot rod shop. This allows for proper airflow and keeps the car from over-heating. New high performance cooling fan that turns on when the car reaches proper temp and when the air conditioner is turned on. Drive Train700R4 Chevy Automatic Transmission mounted using a Granny's Speed Shop transmission bracket. Turbo II rear-end with larger half shafts to handle the torque of the 350.

This power steering pump can be manually calibrated using the onboard stepper motor to control the sensitivity of the steering. New Original Mazda Power Steering Rack and PinionAir ConditioningOriginal Mazda Air Conditioning – The air conditioning control system was modified electronically so that the A/C demand button would work just like factory with a Chevy 350 engine. The original Mazda computer used to control this. Everything in the A/C has essentially been gone through. All of the A/C lines and switches are brand new. Exhaust SystemCorvette Center Dump manifolds. I chose to go with manifolds because cast iron would keep the engine compartment cooler. I also thought that Corvette knew what they were doing when the designed there exhaust systems.

Original Mazda “Flash to Pass” lensesInside the car1992 Pontiac Trans-am shifter was mounted in the center of the car in such a fashion that it allows your hand to naturally rest on it. All of the gauges work just like they came from the factory. Comes with the option of having the car setup with a back seat or with storage in the back. This is rare – Most RX-7's did not have rear seats! You get the option of having it or leaving the car a two seater!Everything works electronically except for the clock. The clock on the dash needs to be fixed. It has a cold solder joint in the clock that causes it to flicker. The XM kit that is installed is not included in the sale of this car. If anything needs work on the car it is the seats. The seats do have a couple of tears in them. It will cost approx. $300 to reupholster them.

This car passes emissions in the state of Colorado. This car is essentially brand new! This car has been for the most part fully restored. It will be almost impossible to find another RX-7 in this kind of condition. I am getting rid of the car because my wife told me that it has to go. I have almost $30. 00 in this car. My insurance company actually insures the car for $31. 00. Please ask all of your questions before you bid!
