1995 Mazda Miata M Edition, Mechanically 10/10! on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Texas, United States
Hello to all ebay shoppers! I am selling my 1995 Mazda Miata M Edition. I am the second owner, with a clear title in hand. I purchased this car from the original owner in Houston, TX. The original owner had the timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket done at 113,000 miles (photo of engine shows gates sticker on intake showing the date the timing belt was changed). The car is equipped with a torsen lsd differential (even power to both rear wheels, diff shown in photo). Since I have purchased the car I have done several maintenance items myself.
What I have done: Exedy Clutch kit $200 Exedy lightweight flywheel $350 Replaced all spark plugs $20 Replaced spark plug wires $40 Installed JVC Radio with hd radio and ipod tagging (Use to work in audio shop so the wiring has been done correctly, not by a kid) $100 Installed Alpine door speakers $100 Installed stance coilovers $1,300 Replaced all four tires $300 Replaced all four brake pads and rotors $400 Replaced complete exhaust system with magnaflow system $350 Rebuilt both driver and passenger door panel $250 Over $3,400 invested in vehicle (not including labor) The car runs great, needs no mechanical attention. Feel free to have it inspected. I have all records in hand. The stance coilovers take an already great handling car, and make it even better. The coilovers have 16 settings for damping (soft to firm, one of the adjustment knobs is shown in a photo). The height is adjustable from slammed to the ground to an inch under stock height. Plenty of options. Cons: Top is in average shape, does not leak, however is faded a little Paint reflects the age of the vehicle After finishing all the mechanical repairs I was going to redo the exterior. I have taken a lot time getting the car back to 10/10 mechanical shape. I would drive this car anywhere in its current condition. If you are looking for car that can be daily driven, but still have fun and enjoy than this is your car. I have set my reserve price based on the current market value and condition so it is very fair. The auto check shows four owners but I am the second, the first owner leased the vehicle from mazda, then purchased it from them. He then moved to Huntsville (50 miles north of Houston) and had to get another title because he lost the original title he had. Please feel free to call or text (prefer text) me anytime. 817-372-0567 Check back often because I will be adding several photos within the next day. No refunds, and there is no warranty. This car is for sale locally so if it sells locally I will take down this ebay auction. A $300 deposit will be required through paypal within 24 hours of the auction ending and the car must be picked up within 5 business days. The remainder of the balance must be paid by certified check (check must clear my bank before car is released), or cash. I do encourage picking the car up in person. Mechanically perfect to drive across country. I will do my best to accommodate you and if you would like to fly in I can pick you up from the local airport. |

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
