2001 Mazda Mx-5 Miata - Turbo on 2040-cars
Olive Branch, Mississippi, United States
This terrific 2001 Mazda Miata has been garaged, cared for, and
has just the right upgrades making it, in my opinion, the perfect Miata. If you want a Miata that has all of the
goodies and none of the abuse, this is the car that you have been looking for. Highlights
include: ++ Original paint, body, and leather (always garaged) A simple roll-up of just the major value add enhancements
(not including installation) is: Kelly Blue Book for this Mazda without aforementioned
enhancements is $7,197 Asking price: $8,500 This vehicle has the OEM ECU allowing it to pass smog and
emissions without any issue whatsoever. The S1 Turbo brings just the right
amount of power and daily driving characteristics that BEGI is known for. The
stock Miata comes with 142 HP and the S1 in its current conservative configuration
adds another 50 HP (or 35%) bringing this little roadster to life. I have never found the need, but according to Bell
Engineering, the S1 turbo is capable of producing 230 – 280 HP with an upgraded
ECU. See the link below for details. The
build out for this car was done by Bell Engineering in central Texas. This car
has spent its life in Austin Texas until our recent move to the Memphis TN area.

are: 1. A small tear in the convertible top at the bottom right
hand corner of rear window (see pics). Outside of the two aforementioned flaws, this is an amazing
roadster - one that has never seen abuse and is very well cared for. Our growing family and newly adopted Mastiff
requires for me to part with this fine Mazda. Please let me know if you have any questions. |

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata firsthand impressions and notebook scribblings
Thu, 04 Sep 2014In a temporarily repurposed airport hanger in Monterey, CA, the world caught its first glimpse of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata tonight, and I was fortunate enough to attend in person along with my fellow auto media colleagues, Mazda execs, a couple hundred Miata devotees and, oddly, a fair number of Duran Duran fans. The klieg lights have dimmed, Simon Le Bon is no longer ringing in my ears, and I'm left to ponder what I've seen. I've scavenged my notes - and my Twitter feed - to give you some details and brief thoughts.
Fair Warning: I can't claim to be completely impartial (I own a second-generation NB and consider the Miata franchise to be one of but a few sacrosanct franchises in modern motoring), but I will share my honest first impressions of the new car, both good and bad.
Here are my notes:
Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000
Sat, 05 Jan 2013After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata first engine shot revealed
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We've dug deep for just about every scrap of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata info available out of the car's California reveal celebration, but powertrain particulars have been especially hard to come by. While we still don't have engine specifications, the folks over at Autoweek have scored a nice scoop - the first underhood photos of one of the display cars.
In the image above, the ND-generation Miata is clearly shown to be powered by a Skyactiv inline four-cylinder, as expected, but its displacement remains unclear. The engine is most likely either the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine offered in low-end Mazda3 and CX-5 models or the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G found in those same vehicles' upper trims. In those iterations, the 2.0-liter generates 155 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque, while the larger-displacement engine nets out at 184 hp and 185 lb-ft. There is no sign of a turbocharger, a feature rumored to be fitted to at least one test mule. There has also been previous rumors of a 1.5-liter Skyactiv engine, possibly for overseas markets.
The 2.0-liter strikes us as the most likely scenario, particularly as Mazda has worked diligently to save every gram in the new car, dropping a pledged 100 kilograms (220 pounds) over the current model, even while adding content. It's entirely possible that the alleged turbo car was, in fact, a mule for the Miata's Alfa Romeo sister car, which is expected to have a wholly different powertrain. Or it could simply be a second engine option for an eventual Mazdaspeed variant, perhaps.
