I recently had purchased this car off a previous owner. I inspected the vehicle before hand and found several issues and after purchase I replaced and repaired everything that needed to be replaced or repaired. It was a project car and now its up and running to its former glory, minus a few superficial cosmetic details.

Things Replaced And Installed:

-Newly Rebuilt Engine installed 3000 miles ago.
-New Spark Plugs 3000 Miles ago
-New Motor mounts 3000 Miles ago
-New Stage 1 sport clutch 3000 miles ago
-New bluetooth connectivity 5500 Miles ago
-New battery 4000 miles ago
-New Yokohama wide print tires 35 miles ago

Things that make the car appealing:

-50/50 slip differential. The ultimate in balance in front and rear end.
-Rear wheel drive. You can feel the take off and quick response. Great base for drift Mods.
-Rotary engine. The Rx-8 Can perform at high (8500-9000) RPMs.
-4 door coupe.(somehow they did it.) The two back doors are suicide doors.
-Front Fog lights and Xenon Headlights
-Its the Touring Package- Bose Audio, Automatic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
-Ipod direct connection. Control Ipod from steering wheel controls
-18" Aluminum Alloy wheels
-CD Player with AM/FM Radio
-Slotted Disc brakes
- 238 hp

There is very minor cosmetic things that still need to be done:

-The sunroof doesn't work.
-The driver side visor needs to be replaced. It cracked. All the housing(screws and screw holes) is still intact.
-The paint has very minor chips from the road. 
-The driver and passenger side window tint still need to be redone.
-The drivers seat needs to be reupholstered.
-Both brake Lights are cracked but both still work.

Overall the important performance parts of the car have been replaced or fixed. I plan on selling this vehicle mainly because of my insurance payment and I cant seem to stop speeding. I am also trying to get into a more family friendly vehicle since I just started a family.
I'm also including an extra stock catalytic converter that is more emissions friendly since the sport one that I currently have equipped would not pass emissions in more stricter states such as CA.

2014 Mazda6 to start at $20,880*

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

We got our very first taste of the impressive 2014 Mazda6 back in October, and had more than a few good things to say about the midsizer. One piece of information that was conspicuous by its absence, however, was a sticker price.
Now, with zero pomp and circumstance (not even a press release as of this writing), Mazda has dropped what looks to be official pricing for the 6 on its consumer website.
$20,880 is the asking price for the base Mazda6 Sport with a manual transmission (plus $795 worth of destination charges, for a total of $21,675). Alaska residents will need to cough up $840 for destination. The loaded-up Mazda6 Grand Touring shown on the site will set you back a total of $30,290 (MSRP of $29,495), but it isn't clear if that's the starting price of the Grand Touring trim. Mazda is taking orders for the new 6 right now, and the cars will be available on January 2, 2013.

2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk

Fri, 02 May 2014

Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
