There is no reserve. Do not worry about your valuable attention being wasted, the auction will not be ended early. At the end of this listing, someone, possibly you, will be happier by a factor of one Miata.
Mechanical: The engine starts easily with no smoke, rattles, or ticks. It runs smoothly from idle to redline, and has solid oil pressure at all times. I have always used the appropriate Mobil1 in the crankcase, transmission, and differential. The ignition consumables (plugs & wires) have about 3,000 miles on them, and are oem NGK parts. The injectors are a stock set from a 1999 Miata, and have been matched and flow tested. This car dyno'd just a little more than a hundred horsepower to the tires, which is consistent with a healthy engine. It is equipped with the Torsen Limited-Slip differential, which works perfectly and quietly. The only modification to the drivetrain is a stainless-steel Borla cat-back exhaust, which not only sounds great, but weighs about half as much as the factory setup. The A/C system worked fine, but I realized this was a convertible, so I removed what I considered 30lbs of dead weight. I will include at no additional charge, a Goodyear timing belt component kit and OEM water pump. Suspension: Within the last 1000 miles I have installed a Flyin' Miata's V-Maxx Adjustable Coilover/Strut setup. It also has a set of their adjustable sway bars, with adjustable end links. Brakes: 5000 miles ago I replaced all four calipers, all four rotors, all the pads, and all the fluid. Electrical: 12 months ago I installed a 500cca Lithium-Ion battery, that weighs 3 lbs. The Stereo system is terrific. It has a "Heavy-Duty" series Jensen head unit, meaning it is moisture and dirt resistant, and can be read easily in direct sunlight. There are USB and mini-jack inputs on the front of the CD player. I removed the interior of the car and re-wired the door speakers directly to a 75w-rms/channel amplifier in the trunk. The door speakers are just the nicest set of Polk 6.5" separates you can find. There is no distortion, even at surprisingly high volume. Exterior: The body is a mixed bag. I keep it garaged at all times. There has never been any rust. All of the body panels are original, and all the paint is original, and I wax it often. As you may know, the hood is aluminum. It has some hail dings in it that the rest of the car doesn't have, due to the softer metal. On the passenger side there is some damage that I have tried to highlight in pictures. The plastic rear panel that goes around the tail lights has two cracks, also seen in the pictures. The front fascia has a crack on the passenger side, I took pictures of that too. The fabric on the convertible top is better than nothing, but basically shot. Interior: Very clean. No odors. No stains. No burns. I replaced the plastic bezel surrounding the gauge cluster with a new OEM piece, since they apparently crack and rattle. That shifter is a genuine MOMO knob that fits tightly to the stock shaft. The steering wheel is a very nice NOS piece I found three years ago, as the leather on the original one was cracking. The only bad news is that when I installed the aftermarket tweeters in the doors, the vinyl on the door cards split on one side, illustrated in the pictures. The drivers window regulator requires significantly more effort than the passenger one, not sure what's going on there. There is a four inch long crack in the windshield down close by the dash. It's been there three years and hasn't spread at all. Frankly, I kind of forgot it's there. Rolling Stock: If I have to explain why these are awesome, this may not be the car for you. The wheels and tires have ~500 miles on them. They are genuine ATS 15" Cup wheels, wrapped in 225-width BFGoodrich Rival tires. They do not rub under any circumstances. The auction winner will be entitled to purchase some additional goodies at very attractive prices 1) Flyin' Miata Butterfly Brace and Frame rail kit & strut tower brace signed by Keith Tanner. $600 2) Flyin' Miata coolant reroute kit. $200 3.)Stock 14" Aluminum wheels this car was delivered from the factory with $75 Ask all the questions you want. If your question is dumb, or I answered it already in the description, I reserve the right to respond sarcastically. I don't want to sell this car at all, so at least grant me that. There will be no surprises. I have been selling on ebay for over a decade, including other vehicles. I'm willing to help with shipping, or if you want to fly-&-drive. Don't be the least bit concerned about making it home. This car will do it. I posted some more photos on my face book page: Search "The Vehicle Rescue", and you'll find a crap ton of pictures in the album entitled "Sleepy". |

Will Mazda sell diesel hybrids in Japan in 2016?
Thu, Aug 14 2014Could the "Zoom Zoom" automaker start making hybrids that go "glug glug glug"? Mazda, known for its fuel-efficient Skyactiv engine line, will be the first Japanese automaker to make a diesel-hybrid vehicle for Japan and Europe. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Mazda may start making its oil-burning hybrids as soon as 2016, and the powertrain may reach fuel efficiency levels of as much as 95 miles per gallon (one the more lenient Japanese driving cycle). That'd make such a vehicle line about 30 percent more fuel-efficient than standard diesels and about eight percent more fuel efficient that the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid (known as the Aqua in Japan). Mazda has been dismissive of hybrid and electric powertrains, instead focusing on Skyactiv technology to maximize fuel efficiency from conventional gas-powered engines. Diesel powertrains account for about half of the light-duty vehicles sold in Europe each year, while Japan's diesel sales of 76,000 vehicles last year were about three times as many as were sold there in 2012. In January, Mazda said that it would delay the introduction of its Skyactiv-D diesel engine from what was to be a spring 2014 debut. The reason was to fine-tune the engine's performance/fuel economy balance. Mazda representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the diesel hybrids.
Mazda MX-30 electric car production begins: Will it get the rotary range extender?
Thu, May 21 2020Mazda has officially started production of the electric MX-30. For the time being, the small electric car hasn’t been announced for the U.S. yet. Mazda hasnÂ’t declared otherwise, though, so we still have our hopes up. The first MX-30s are rolling off the line in Hiroshima, Japan. Europe will be one of the first places where these MX-30s end up. The car starts at GBP30,495 in the UK and ˆ33,990 in Germany. That's around $38,000. Certainly expensive, but the price would surely be different here, plus weÂ’d be eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit. Those lucky European customers will be met with an electric car that likes to do things a little differently than others. The modest 35.5 kWh battery pack is good for just 124 miles on EuropeÂ’s optimistic WLTP testing cycle. It would surely achieve a much lower number in the EPA test. Mazda has made it front-wheel drive, placing a single motor on the front axle thatÂ’s good for 143 horsepower. We expect to see the first ones hit the streets in Europe this fall, but thereÂ’s one thing that makes us hold out hope for an American MX-30: the potential for a rotary range extender. Mazda said as much in its 100-year celebration letter: “Later, the company developed a prototype Mazda2 EV with a small single-rotor engine used as a range extender. A similar system could find its way onto the Mazda MX-30, a brand new battery electric crossover SUV arriving at dealerships this year." Assuming Mazda goes through with a rotary range extender, we could see this car coming to the American market. That would up the range considerably and make it a much more viable option for many customers, even if they might not need the added range on a daily basis. Related video:
Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3
Tue, 25 Feb 2014To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales. Fortunately for Mazda, they're selling well.
These days, the Japanese automaker is building the Mazda3 (known domestically as the Axela) in Japan, China, Thailand and, as of last month, in Mexico. The company's expanded global production capacity has helped Mazda reach four million units of the Mazda3 sold around the world since the first model was introduced over ten and a half years ago.
Over the course of that decade since its introduction in June 2003, Mazda has gone through three generations of Mazda3, the newest model benefiting from the company's Skyactiv technology and even encompassing a hybrid model in the Japanese Domestic Market.
