Retro-spec Carbon Fiber Radiator Panel for FC RX7
Retro-spec, out of San Diego, California specializes in carbon fiber and fiberglass parts for 70s, 80s, and 90s Japanese cars. Of particular interest is their carbon fiber radiator panel for ‘86-‘91 RX7s. At only $80, it’s a great way to add some flash to your engine bay. Retro-spec’s website claims it helps your rotary run cooler, too. I intend to put this to the test...

2011 Mazda2: Second Oil Change!
This Saturday was the second oil change on my 2011 Mazda2. My friend Matt suggested that we complete the task in his workshop, as he had something to show me. Appropriately, I turned into his driveway just as my odometer ticked over 6,000 miles. While I may not make it to church every Sunday, I’d still say I’m pretty religious… What Matt wanted to show me was his new Kawasaki Versys, which is...

Please Save These RX-7s
One of my close friends works at a salvage yard, and I told him I’d help him find a good home for these two. The gold car is a 1979 with rotten floors and a disassembled engine; the black car is a 1980 with a complete motor, good floors, and a solid body. He has titles for both cars and is willing to part with them for $800 each or $1500 for the pair. They are located in Northeast Ohio at...

SevensOnFire Japan Relief Stickers Now Available!
I’ve mentioned these before, but they’re finally here! I enlisted the help of my best friend Sarah Sobole to design a sticker to raise funds for disaster relier. Each sticker is roughly 4” square, and is yours, shipped anywhere in the world, for $5. Half of that goes to printing fees and shipping, which means that $2.50 of every sticker purchased goes to disaster relief. I want...

Family Photos: Nissan NPT-90
When I was just a little kid, my Dad took me to the Cleveland National Air Show to share with me his love of old warbirds. I don’t recall much, but whatever it was must have stuck because to this day, I still love going to air shows with my Dad. Two things I do remember were getting camo face paint, and seeing the Nissan NPT-90 race car. The Nissan NPT-90, introduced in 1990, was the...

Racing Beat Power Pulse Muffler for Mazda2
Check out this absolutely gorgeous Racing Beat stainless steel muffler for the 2011 Mazda2! I know several companies in Japan are offering a center exit exhaust, but I’m personally a fan of the stock exhaust location. However, I can’t stand the way the stock exhaust tip is tilted down ever-so-slightly. Racing Beat makes good stuff, and with its all-stainless construction the Power...
