This is a 1994 Mazda Miata, Limited Edition "M-Edition".  I am the fourth owner.  The second owner drove it until the Timing Belt broke at around the 83,000 mile mark then let it sit.  The third owner bought it to repair, but didn't have time to, so I bought it from him.  The body is perfect with no rust.  The following items had been replaced:

  • Battery
  • Clutch Master Cylinder
  • Clutch Slave Cylinder
  • Engine Mounts
  • Fuel Injector Harness
  • Fuel Tank
  • Most Gaskets
  • Radiator
  • Radiator Hoses
  • Radio
  • Starter
  • Timing Belt
  • Tires
  • Vinyl Top
The air conditioning system was professionally repaired by Mazda of Wesley Chapel and is blowing cold air.  The fuel injectors were removed, professionally serviced and flow tested - They are working like new.

Here are the negatives:
  • The leather seats are worn and need to be either covered or replaced - See Pictures.
  • While installing the new cloth top, I inadvertently drilled a hole through the top.  It's been patched and it doesn't leak, but you could definitely see the repair - See Picture. 
  • The Paint - The top (clear) coat is peeling on the front fender (see picture).
  • The Speakers need to be replaced.
  • Antenna - The top is broken and I believe it should retract, but it doesn't.
  • The steering wheel is worn and I have a cover over it.

All the negatives are relatively minor and don't impact the ride.  The engine is strong and relatively young (only 85,000 miles) and provides for a fun and peppy ride.  Fix up the mostly cosmetic repairs and you have yourself a pretty cool (and rare) ride.

According to a Miata website, "only 3,000 of these were made in 1994.  The Mazda Miata M Edition series of vehicles are very desirable and sought after by Miata enthusiasts.  Searching for a low mileage clean M Edition and finding one is to may like finding the ultimate Miata.  Fairly expensive when first introduced, they can now be found priced as a regular used car, particularly if the seller has no idea what an M Edition is.  Further, the well known used car resale value guides seem to somewhat under value what Miatas are actually trading hands for.  Most clean Miatas will usually sell over blue book value.  M Editions are not sequentially numbered and their VIN numbers will be scattered throughout the regular run for each year.  A total of 12,470 M Editions were manufactured throughout the 4 year run. The colors and features will make any M Edition stand out at a gathering of Miatas and the clean low mileage ones are harder and harder to find.  Montego Blue Mica is the only M Edition color that was used as a regular color in subsequent years through 1997.  The chrome 7 spoke wheels best identify the '94 M as well as M Edition badging, but 1994 is also the last year for the real oil pressure gauge.  The '94 M was the only M-Edition that came with the original style of leather seats that were designed to emulate the seats in certain Ferrari models.  Special features include a Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, polished 7 spoke alloy wheels with locks, air conditioning, stainless M Edition sill plates, M Edition custom mats, power steering, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels, Torsen limited slip differential, cruise control, power window, headrest speakers and a power antenna".

The car is sold AS-IS.

Refreshed 2017 Mazda 3 and 6 get G-Vectoring Control

Wed, Aug 10 2016

Back in June, we told you about Mazda's G-Vectoring Control system, which is an additional layer of unobtrusive cornering assistance to help maintain traction at the limits of adhesion. It's subtle to the point of being hard for a human being to detect, even a Mazda engineer, as we found out driving a G-VC equipped Mazda 6 around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. We knew then that the G-VC system would make it to the 2017 Mazda 3 and 6, but now all the details of both mildly refreshed cars are available. Let's start with the Mazda 3, which has a few more changes than its larger stablemate. As is standard industry practice, a mild facelift includes available LED headlights and taillights, a new grille, and a monochrome rear bumper. Inside, the slightly recontoured steering wheel now has available heating and the manual handbrake has been replaced by an electronic one. Fans of handbrake turns will frown, but those handles take up an immense amount of room (relatively speaking) inside the center console. The redesigned center storage bin takes better advantage of that newly freed-up space. Lastly, Mazda claims the 3 is quieter thanks to improved insulation and weatherstripping. The Mazda 6 was just refreshed last year, so the list of changes is even shorter. The larger sedan benefits from similar sound-reducing tweaks as the 3, and the entry-level 6 with a manual transmission now comes with the Mazda Connect infotainment system, a real upgrade from the older non-touchscreen system. One thing that both share is an available full color head-up display, which replaces a functional but ancient-looking monochrome unit. If you've been in a Mazda currently on sale with this old-looking system, you'll really appreciate the way this new one looks. We can't wait to try it out. Both new Mazdas go on sale in September. Pricing isn't available at this time.

Oliver Jarvis in a Mazda takes pole in star-studded Rolex 24 at Daytona

Fri, Jan 25 2019

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Oliver Jarvis broke a 26-year-old record at Daytona International Speedway in putting the Mazda DPi from Team Joest on the pole for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Jarvis went to the top of the scoring chart early in Thursday's qualifying session with a lap at 1 minute, 33.685 seconds. It broke the mark by two-tenths of a second set by P.J. Jones in 1993 in a GTP-class Toyota. The Englishman spoiled a strong run by Team Penske, which qualified second and third for the twice-round-the-clock endurance race that begins Saturday. Ricky Taylor earned the second spot in Penske's Acura ARX-05, while teammate Juan Pablo Montoya was third in his first time qualifying the sports car for the organization. Team Joest wound up first and fourth on the starting grid with Jonathan Bomarito putting its second car on the second row. Felipe Nasr had the fastest Cadillac DPi-V.R in fifth for Action Express Racing. Nasr is the reigning IMSA champion and led the way for four more Cadillacs in qualifying. Jordan Taylor was sixth for Wayne Taylor Racing, ahead of Juncos Racing's Agustin Canapino, then Tristan Vautier and Stephen Simpson for JDC-Miller Motorsports. James Allen in an Oreca 07 Gibson for DragonSpeed won the LMP2 pole. In the GT Le Mans class, Nick Tandy put a Porsche on the pole as four different manufacturers qualified in the first two rows. IMSA GTLM champion Jan Magnussen of Corvette Racing was second, Ryan Briscoe in a Ford GT for Chip Ganassi Racing was third and followed by Davide Rigon in Risi Competizione's Ferrari 488. Marcos Gomes gave Via Italia's Ferrari 488 the pole in the GT Daytona class. Related Video:
