1999 Miata 102,450 miles FFS Fast Forward Supercharged Hard Dog Double Diagonal Roll Bar Roll Bar Pad Hard Top (but no soft top, removed for weight, as was the radio and A/C and anything else I could) Aluminum Radiator Double fans with manual switch to run either or both (auto runs as normal) Vacuum boost gage AEM wide band O2 sensor Tien Coilovers (Flex 14/9kg Springs, custom valved by 949 Racing) Torsen LSD (replaced and very good condition with low use) Flyin' Miata Happy Meal Clutch with 13.5lb flywheel (No hard launches slipping clutch and low miles on it great shape) Header, wrapped and header blanket High Flow cat Roadster Sport Exhaust Six Point Harnesses New High volume fuel pump Strut Tower brace Trailer Hitch Harness Bar Back brace SS brake lines Proportioning Brake valve Have brand new air box not installed Engine Hold down bracket Sway bar Adj sway bar end links Ctrol arm brace Mazda Sport engine mounts Short throw shifter New Coil packs, wires plugs, etc. Red hardcoat valve cover & Thermostat Cover Brand new battery Solid Diff mounts Timing belt, water pump, valve cover gasket etc... done at 96K Wheels and tires only have a couple thousand miles on them at most and look really nice. Car has no codes and passed inspection a couple months ago. More I'm sure Car is squeaky because of the heim joints, car is very stiff because of the springs. The squeeky suspension is constant... This was first and formost an autocross car. It was very fast and needs some work to be autocrossed again. It runs it starts, I drive it around no problem. Has a small dent in the right rear quarter, was there when I bought it. Car will fit 275 Hoosier A6's with suspension and wheel opening mods that have been done. Has thousands of dollars in parts on it as a parts car and if someone wants to spend I little time on, it out can be really fast again. I don't have a garage or time right now so it's time for it to go. Most of the interior has been ripped out and don't have any of it. It's not pretty and it is what it is. I figure someone will want to strip it for parts to put on another Miata or do some work and have fun with it again. I bought the car with 95K had all the mods done and hardly drove it other than autocross. Anyone interested in this car should car and chat with me, I'll tell you all about it in full detail as I want no surprises and the buyer to understand what I know about the car. I have prefect feedback and intend to keep it that way. As for how it runs: 1) After it has been running a while it idles fast but tap the pedal and it goes down to idle no problem. I figure that's the idle control valve but not sure. 2) At the autocross after a couple of runs it shuts down to idle. After the cars cools it's fine. Driving on the street it doesn't do it as you can't drive it that hard on the street. I have a couple ideas on what it is but don't have time to work on it. To me, it needs better cooling and a better air intake. But again I have no proof so it is here as is and expect to do some work if you want to drive it hard. On the street the blower kicks in fine, is fast, sounds great, although it's not that comfortable with the really stiff suspension. 3) It is not pretty, is definitely a 50 footer. There is small scratches and dings, the dent as shown in the picture. The pictures look better than in person but again from a little ways away it looks pretty good. The seats are very light and fiberglass, seat covers are faded but no rips and can be replaced.
4) Dash lights arn't working noticed tonight, haven't driven it at night in a while (will check the fuse). I have a spare parts and things not included, will put them up on ebay after this auction ends. A low miles 5 speed tranny, 15X9" wheels for race rubber and a fresh Rubella Stage II head, that has been ported, bigger exhaust valves and a small lift cam that fit this car but don't come with it. Engine would make more power and run cooler with this head... If I had time... |

Reminder: Come hang out with Autoblog and the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on Tuesday, May 19
Fri, May 15 2015Do you love chilidogs, French fries, meeting new friends, and the world's most popular convertible? Do you live in Southeast Michigan? Do you like lists of questions? If you answered "yes" to any but the last of those, we'd like to invite you to a little get-together we're hosting next week. Driving impressions are still under embargo for the US-spec 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, but somehow we've conned convinced company PR reps to show the car to you, Joe Public Autoblog Reader. We're enthused about telling you more about the ND Miata, but before we do we'd love to share a Coke and talk about cars. Here's the skinny. A group of Autobloggers will be hanging out at the Athens Coney Island, in Royal Oak, MI, next Tuesday, May 19. We'll have the car on display from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and we'd love to see you. If you're a Miata owner, we'd also love to for you to bring your car along for the party. The more convertibles the better (just be prepared to have your picture taken). Go ahead and set your navi for Athens – 32657 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, MI 48073 – and we'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday. Mazda Geeks unite. Related Video:
Takashi Yamanouchi to retire as Mazda chairman
Mon, 12 May 2014Takashi Yamanouchi has been with Mazda for a long time. He signed on with the Japanese automaker in April 1967 - one month after graduating from Keio University - and rose through the ranks over the years. By 1996 he was named to the company's board of directors. In 2008 he was named president and CEO, an office he held until 2013, after which he handed over the day-to-day reins to Masamichi Kogai and took up the seat at the head of the board room to serve as the company's chairman. But now, after 47 years working for Mazda, Yamanouchi-san is retiring at the age of 69.
During his tenure as CEO and then as chairman, Yamanouchi was credited with growing Mazda's business despite unfavorable fluctuations in exchange rates, opening the company's first plant in Mexico, and spearheading the development of Mazda's Skyactiv technologies and Kodo design language.
In his place, current vice chairman Seita Kanai will take over as chairman. The changing of the guard will take place after the annual shareholders' meeting on June 24.
Mazda and Lexus crowned with KBB 5-Year Cost To Own awards
Tue, 12 Feb 2013We report on a lot of awards, some of which are given out based on more solid criteria than others. This one, the Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own awards, seems like one that new car shoppers should pay attention to.
The cost of a car goes far beyond what you pay for the actual metal, leather and rubber at the point of purchase. Fuel, insurance, maintenance and repair costs, and the cost of fees from the state and financing will all weigh on your wallet while you own the car. That's not even taking into account the biggest cost: depreciation, or the amount of money you lose based on what your car is worth years from now versus the day you bought it.
KBB tracks these sorts of things, and they've compiled a list of winners for 2013 models. On the brand level, Mazda and Lexus earn the 5-Year Cost to Own award for having the lowest overall projected five-year totals (though, curiously, we note that Mazda and Lexus each had only one segment winner). There are lots of winners for all the various segments, so we'll just pick out a few surprising ones to share and you can view the rest here.
