Up for auction is my 1990 Mazda Miata with a 5.0 V8 conversion, better known as a Monster Miata. This vehicle was purchased last year as a project vehicle top turn into a track car. Unfortunately because of health and finances, I am forced to sell this cool car. The car has a salvage title, for some fender bender years ago, but was taken care of at the time. The title is free and clear. The swap used many, but not all, parts from the Monster Miata Kit. The engine is from a 1992 Mustang 5.0. The engine was rebuilt to stock specs and has hardly passed the break in mileage. The transmission is a T5 manual, which is mated to a 7.5" Thunderbird rear end. The body has a real nice unknown body kit, as well as good looking 17" wheels with very good tires. All brakes are stock, however I will include the some 1.8l brakes and brackets to upgrade. The car is not currently running just because I removed the intake manifold to upgrade, but then decided against it, and just didnt get the old one back on. The air conditioning and heater were removed and are not available. The convertible top is included, frame is good, top is bad. The car also has a 4 point rollbar. I have all of the interior pieces available. Also the seats are included, just not pictured at this time. I will post a link to a video of the car running, as well as numerous pictures. This car will make an incredibly fun project for someone. Personally I wanted to strip it all down, paint it matte black, and go race it. The conversion is not cheap to do, and this car could be up and running in two days. I MAY get it running before the end of the auction for the winner. If there are any other questions I can answer, please ask, and I will do the best I can. I can also take additional pictures if needed.

Mazda reveals new 'Game Changers' advertising campaign
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Looking to highlight its unique and sporty mindset, Mazda is getting ready to launch its biggest advertising campaign since "Zoom-Zoom" became its tagline in 2000. The new campaign, entitled "Game Changers," will begin in May, and rather than focusing on its sporty past - like it did with Zoom-Zoom early on - the new ads will look at recent advancements made in building its future, including Skyactiv technologies and its new diesel race program, both of which involve its excellent new Mazda6 sedan.
As a part of the ads, Mazda will showcase game changers from the sporting world, including Dick Fosbury who changed how competitors perform the high jump and Laird Hamilton, who redefined how surfers attacked big waves. It doesn't sound like Zoom-Zoom is going away, but "Game Changers" will definitely feature heavily in the Japanese automaker's marketing moving forward. A few examples of the new ad campaign are posted in our gallery, and the press release is available below.
Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.
2014 Mazda3 officially rated at 30/41 mpg, priced from $16,945*
Wed, 24 Jul 2013It's hard not to be smitten with the 2014 Mazda3; after all, just look at it. But beyond its slick lines, we found the new compact hatch to be a pretty remarkable steer, offering up good levels of comfort and refinement, not to mention functionality and engagement. Now, there's more reason to like the 2014 Mazda3, as we've just learned that the car will officially be rated at 30 miles per gallon city and 41 mpg highway.
That 30/41 rating is for the Mazda3 sedan fitted with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the manual transmission retains the 41-mpg highway number, but drops the city digits to 29. Hatchback models with the 2.0-liter engine achieve 29/40 mpg with the manual 'box and 30/40 with the automatic.
Mazda also offers a larger 2.5-liter inline-four in the 3, and while a six-speed automatic will be the only transmission available with this engine at launch, the automaker has confirmed that a manual is coming shortly. With the 6AT and 2.5, the Mazda3 sedan is rated at 28/39 mpg, or 29/40 with the company's i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Hatchback models shrink those numbers to 28/37 and 29/39 mpg, with and without i-Eloop, respectively.
