I'm selling a rare and unique custom built 1995 Miata MX-5 that is right hand drive and is road legal in all 50 states. This Miata started off as a left hand drive car and was torn down and rebuilt using a front clip imported from Japan. The engine and manual transmission from the front clip in the car are estimated to have approximately 65,000 miles on them, while the rest of the car has around 85,000 miles on it. The title record shows over 100k miles - from everything I can tell, this is actually over 135k kilometers in reality. I believe the person(s) who titled the car before mistakenly read the odometer as being in miles, when it actually registers kilometers. All readings on the odometer and speedometer are in kilometers and and kilometers per hour and the odometer reads around 135,000 kilometers / 85,0000 miles right now.

The car is mostly stock inside with the exception of an aftermarket stereo and shift knob, along with a custom body kit and lowering springs.

NEW ITEMS ON CAR: Over the past couple of years, I added a matching hard top, rear spoiler, new struts and lowering springs, brakes and rotors all around, and rear calipers to the car. I also had most of the engine torn down and had over $3k in work done on the engine, as well as a new radiator, heater core, etc.

ISSUES WITH CAR: the front left caliper is sticking and needs replaced, the heating system does not work too well (I think the ducting needs to be hooked up properly behind the dash), the oil pressure gauge needs fixed, and the stereo system is not hooked up to the speakers. The overall car is in great shape and has a few minor rust issues on the bottoms of the doors and on a couple body seams. The paint needs some touches done to it as well - most issues with the paint seem to be in the top coat and I think a good buffing would remove most, if not all of the scratches, which were caused by by young boys running some toys along the body of the car. None of the scratches appear to go into the paint - they all appear to be on the top / clear coat. Valve cover gasket also has a minor leak in the rear - I've replaced this gasket within the past 5k miles, but it seems to have a small leak in it once again. It's not leaking a ton, but oil is seeping out some.

The seats are out of the car in the pictures due to interior cleaning and they will be in the car at time of purchase. I have a picture of the stock seats included.

I have over $9k in this car and am hoping to get at least $3500 out of it as it's very unique with being a right hand drive. I'd love to get $6500 out of it, but I'll settle for $3500 if that's what it goes for. My plan is to use some of the proceeds from this car to help with charity projects I am involved in.

Car has a clean Ohio title and is currently located in Johnstown, PA. Pick up and shipping are at the expense of the buyer. I am happy to assist with getting the car on a truck to get it delivered, but I will not cover the shipping costs.

Mazda: Penn & Teller

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Mazda turned to magic to highlight its refreshed CX-5, bringing in Las Vegas staples Penn and Teller to saw the CUV in half. The glitzy spot has a very Sin City feel to it, although considering some of the ads we've seen tonight, it's short on shock value, humor and heart-tugging imagery. Have a look, though, and let us know what you think.

Road & Track to take Miata on million-mile march

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

Road & Track has taken on a Miata project. One hell of a project, if we're honest. You see, the Miata in question, a 1989 example in Mariner Blue, isn't a high-mileage Mazda that the publication intends to fix up, or make race-worthy, or try to flip or give away to a reader or something. No, it's a rather typical well-used NA, with a hefty 325,000 miles on the clock to-date that the staff plans on driving until the six-digit odo reads all zeros again. One million miles or bust (or both, most likely).
Procured for the bargain-basement price of $1,600, complete with seat covers that "really do look like muppet pelts" (according to Zach Bowman) and a bondo-filled love tap on the nose, the NA Miata actually looks like just the sort of fun-machine that a real driving enthusiast would pick up to get some cheap thrills in. The R&T team already has some interesting plans for the Miata, including a potential run up Pikes Peak and loaning it out to readers (or perhaps your author...). Click through to read all about it.

Feds investigating 2010-11 Mazda CX-9 CUVs over braking issues

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 62,000, 2010-2011 Mazda CX-9 models over brake problems. The government safety watchdog says it has received seven complaints of an observed loss of power braking power to stop the crossover, according to the The Detroit News.
The NHTSA complaints say that the problem causes a hard pedal, increased braking effort and reduced braking effectiveness. Some complaints allege that they hear a hissing noise during braking similar to the sound of air leaving the tires. No injuries or crashes have been reported.
"As always, we are fully cooperating with NHTSA on their investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," said Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to The Detroit News.
