 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 recalls 1.37 million older vehicles for ignition switch short [UPDATE]

Fri, Oct 23 2015

UPDATE: Mazda has confirmed to Autoblog that NHTSA's figures and list of effected models are accurate. Mazda is recalling 1,368,500 older vehicles in the US that date as far back as the late '80s because a potential short circuit in the ignition switch could cause a fire. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the models include: 1990-1995 323 1993-1998 626 1993-1995 929 1989-1998 MPV 1993-1997 MX-6 1992-1993 MX-3 1990-1998 Protege Mazda reports that over time the grease around the switch's contact points can carbonize and become conductive, which can eventually lead to a short circuit. In some cases this results in smoke, but it could also lead to a fire. According to company spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to Autoblog, there're no accidents, injuries, or fires in the US. Once the vehicle is running, the potential fault also doesn't affect drivability. Documents from NHTSA (as a PDF), indicate there was a fire in one of these vehicles in Japan in 2002 that could have been linked to this issue. The recall should begin in December. In its announcement of the issue below, Mazda reports 1.2 million vehicles affected and includes the 1990-1996 323/Protege. Autoblog has reached out to the company to understand the discrepancy.

In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat. CONSEQUENCE: If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8715J.

Mazda rolls out unlimited mileage warranty in Canada

Fri, 14 Nov 2014

Cold weather might be starting to grip parts of Canada, but our neighbors to the north are going to be able to drive their 2015 Mazda cars and utilities from Vancouver to Montreal with a little more peace of mind. That's because Mazda Canada is instituting an unlimited mileage warranty for its new models.
The updated plan starts with all 2015 model year vehicles (even those already sold), and the scheme simply removes that distance limit on everything but the emissions defect coverage. That means that the Mazdas have one year of service adjustments, three years of new vehicle coverage, five years on the powertrain, seven years against corrosion and three years of roadside assistance for as many kilometers as the owner drives.
The change removes at least one, tiny piece of anxiety about buying a new vehicle because it's easy to know when the coverage ends. "By offering our customers an Unlimited Mileage Warranty, we believe it will enhance their ownership experience by alleviating concerns such as kilometre limitations, repair costs and resale value," Kory Koreeda, president of Mazda Canada, in the automaker's announcement.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
