This is not a real 10th Anniversary (10AE) Turbo 2, this project is the car that Mazda should have made, complete it and you will have the first. The donor car was a 1988 10AE Turbo II The recipient car is a 1988 Convertible, white with black interior(from 89 convertible). (the most ideal recipient!) All 10AE specific items used in this conversion include the following: •Turbo Engine, ECU, Harness, and components •Turbo Tranny and Driveshaft •Turbo rear end, Axles, and Hubs •Turbo Cluster •10AE/Canadian Headlight Switch (for headlight washer button) •Headlight washers and reservoir •10AE Horn button •10AE Badging •10AE Wheels •Door panels •Front and Rear Bumper Covers •Side molding modified parts •Stock convertible taillights painted white •Have original 10 AE wing but it will need to be modified to be used on a convertible •convertible seats are retained(turbo seats available if you want them instead but still need to be redone), but they will be done in leather like that in the Coupe, instead of the perforated leather that comes on the convertible seats I started with a white 1988 Convertible Rx-7, I used this car as a daily driver for 3 years. I removed the NA 13B engine, Transmission and suspension and installed a good used S4 T2 Engine. From a 10AE T2 donor car I used the Front bumper with the Headlight washer system, front fenders with 10AE badges, 10AE Rims, complete suspension, transmission, and rear end. Black interior combination of 10AE and 1989 convertible Rx7 all black, including good 10AE steering wheel. Car is 75% completed. The engine is running and has been completely wired in. What needs work. The Convertible top works mechanism and motors good but vinyl has small tears and will need replaced. needs radio surround, needs 10AE specific shifter. Seats need to be recovered, Standard convertible seats or T2 your choice I have both. Needs complete exhaust. Will need tires ones on car are good for shipping only. I was building this as I would think that Mazda would have had they produced a convertible version of the 10AE. Sold as is, this is a running car will need some parts(exhaust, tires) but could be licensed and on the street in a few days or the projected completed by you in less than one week. I realize this is a unfinished project but the hard work has been done, even at the buy it now price I am losing money. My loss is your gain.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Mazda2 sedan debuting in Thailand this month?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Mazda is reportedly set to introduce a Mazda2 with a four-door sedan body. Unlike the upcoming CX-3, which is debuting at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show and is almost certain to be sold in North America, this other version's chance here are a bit more mysterious.
According to The Bangkok Post, the Mazda2 sedan will make its word debut at the Thailand International Motor Expo on November 28, and the traditional five-door hatch will be there as well. Both body styles will be built in Thailand with diesel engines and will be the first vehicles to adhere to the country's eco-car rules for oil-burners with a SkyActiv 1.5-liter diesel that will make 105 horsepower.
At this time, there's no indication whether the new sedan might also be sold in the US, but we're not holding our breath - remember, the previous Mazda2 sedan never made it Stateside, either.
