Right," was Mazda's TV advertising tagline during the late 1980s
and early 1990s. MotoeXotica Classic Cars would like you to just
feel right in this 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible. Made in Mazda's
Hiroshima, Japan factory, this amazing low mileage example spent
years in a climate-controlled building and the condition really
proves that extra care on this RX7! This has to be one of the
nicest example RX7 FC for sale on the market today! Finished in
correct Blaze Red (code SQ), the car's paint and trim are in
overall excellent condition. The windshield looks nearly flawless,
the car's lights are clear and intact especially the attractive
Series 5 only rear taillights and also its bodywork is straight.
The two-seater's engine bay is extremely tidy and still appears
show room new, its cargo area is in excellent condition and the
body-colored bumpers look great. The convertible was designed to
enhance cold-weather cruising. The top has three positions - open,
closed or Targa-style. Behind the seats is a windblocker device
designed to keep air from funneling into the cockpit from the rear.
The windblocker is hinged and was claimed to reduce wind noise and
air turbulence at speed. The car comes with a high-output heater,
too. This RX-7 rolls on Bridgestone Potenza RE910 tires, size
205/60R15 at all four corners. Each one is mounted on a silver
factory BBS basket weave wheels. Under the hood is Mazda's 13B
(code S5 FC) Rotary motor, a 1.3L unit. The high revving butter
smooth cylinder-less motor is connected to one of Mazda's
slick-shifting five-speed manual transmissions. Inside, the black
leather (code FD8) seats are in excellent condition and come
complete with a pair of speakers in each headrest. The matching
black carpet is in similar condition to the seats. The three-spoke
steering wheel looks great, as does the instrument panel with its
rotary control dials and orange graphics. The inner door panels are
in similar condition, as is the shift lever. A Pioneer AM/FM stereo
with CD player completes the interior but is not currently powering
on. Mazda introduced a convertible version of the RX-7 in 1988 with
a naturally aspirated engine � introduced to the US market with ads
featuring actor James Garner, at the time featured in many Mazda
television advertisements. The convertible featured a removable
rigid section over the passengers and a folding textile rear
section with heatable rear glass window. Power operated, lowering
the top required unlatching two header catches, power lowering the
top, exiting the car (or reaching over to the right side latch),
and folding down the rigid section manually. Mazda introduced with
the convertible the first integral windblocker, a rigid panel that
folded up from behind the passenger seats to block unwanted drafts
from reaching the passengers � thereby extending the driving season
for the car in open mode. The convertible also featured optional
headrest mounted audio speakers and a folding leather
snap-fastenedtonneau cover. The convertible assembly was precisely
engineered and manufactured and dropped into the ready body
assembly as a complete unit � a first in convertible production.
Handling was much improved, with less of theoversteertendencies of
the FB. The rear end design was vastly improved from the FB's live
rear axle to a more modern, Independent Rear Suspension (rear
axle). Steering was more precise, withrack and
pinionsteeringreplacing the oldrecirculating ballsteering of the
FB.Disc brakes also became standard, with some models (S4: Sport,
GXL, GTU, Turbo II, Convertible; S5: GXL, GTUs, Turbo, Convertible)
offering four-piston front brakes. The rear seats were optional in
some models of the FC RX-7 but are not commonly found in the
American Market. Mazda also introduced Dynamic Tracking Suspension
System (DTSS) in the 2nd generation RX-7. The revised independent
rear suspension incorporated special toe control hubs which were
capable of introducing a limited degree of passive rear steering
under cornering loads. The DTSS worked by allowing a slight amount
of toe-out under normal driving conditions but induced slight
toe-in under heavier cornering loads at around 0.5 Gs or more;
toe-out in the rear allows for a more responsive rotation of the
rear, but toe-in allowed for a more stable rear under heavier
cornering. Mazda also introduced Auto Adjusting Suspension (AAS) in
the 2nd generation RX-7. The system changed damping characteristics
according to the road and driving conditions. The system
compensated for camber changes and provided anti-dive and
anti-squat effects. Competition to this RX-7 droptop in 1989
included BMW's 325i Cabriolet, Buick's Reatta, Cadillac's Allant�,
Chevrolet's Camaro and Corvette convertibles, Chrysler's LeBaron
Convertible, Ford's Mustang Convertible, Jaguar's XJ-S Convertible,
Mazda's own RX-5, Mercedes-Benz's 300 SL Convertible, Nissan's
300ZX Convertible and Pontiac's Firebird Convertible. If you want a
