Up for sale is my unfinished project car. Bought from the 65 year old original owner in 2005 with a friend for SCCA Solo 2 which we ran for a few years for fun. We also ran a couple of track days and I decided to put the engine from my RX8 into the car (the RX8 engine and 6 speed transmission is for sale separately, as is the original 13b engine and 5 speed transmission - no engine or transmission is included with this project car/parts car listing), so we put it up on jack stands and unfortunately life has gotten in the way. It's been in the garage on the jack stands for 4 years and it's time for it to go to a new home.


The car is a roller now and the engine and transmission are out of the car, as is the interior. The sound deadening material has been stripped out and there is a bolt-in Autopower roll bar bolted and welded in. This would be a great project for someone to pick up cheaply and finish assembling for a track day toy, or possibly even fix it up to run in 24 Hours of Lemons or Chump Car. Paint is in rough shape (clear coat is peeling, some scratches, factory rubber door trim is removed from one side), but the body is solid. What you see is what you get. Please remember to ask for clarification on anything BEFORE bidding. This is a NO RESERVE $0.01 starting price auction - I need to get this thing out of here to free up space. Goes to the highest bidder.

The car has the following upgrades/modifications:

  • Ground Control Front Coilover conversion kit
  • Tokico Illumina Adjustable Struts and Shocks (all 4 corners)
  • Ground Control Front Camber/Caster plates
  • Racing Beat Front Sway Bar
  • Suspension Techniques Adjustable Sway Bar
  • Eibach Springs Front and Rear (spare front and rear of different rates also included)
  • New Factory Mazda Replacement Lower Control Arms (with factory new bushings/ball joints - installed on the car under 1000 miles ago)
  • Mazdaspeed Transmission and Engine Mounts
  • Racing Beat Power Pulse Muffler
  • Racing Beat Cat Delete Pipe
  • Mazdaspeed Torsen Limited Slip (factory gear ratio retained and rear end freshened up with new bearings/seals)
  • Mazdatrix Watts Link Bracket Reinforcement Plate
  • Mazda Factory replacement Watts Links and Bracket (installed on the car less than 1000 miles ago)
  • ARP Extra Length Wheel Studs
  • New Master Cylinder and Booster (within last 1000 miles)
  • Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines (within last 1000 miles)
  • New Clutch Slave Cylinder (within last 1000 miles)
  • Stainless Steel Braided Clutch Line
  • Hawk Brake pads on all 4 corners
  • Ron Davis Aluminum Racing Radiator purchased from Mazdaspeed Motorsports Program
  • New Factory Mazda Manual Quick Ratio Steering Box (within last 1000 miles)
  • New Factory Steering Gear (Draglink, pitman arms, etc. - within last 1000 miles)
  • All interior sound deadening material/door panels/trunk panels removed
  • Quick Release Steering Wheel Mount
  • Probably some other minor items I missed

Spares/Also Included (some items not pictured):

  • 2 Full Sets of Factory GSL-SE Wheels (one set has "roller" Avon Slicks mounted, and one set is just wheels no tires)
  • Second set of front struts (with factory strut tops and Tokico Illumina adjustable strut inserts installed)
  • Factory Door panels
  • Factory Dash Support Frame
  • Factory Dash pad
  • Factory Passenger Seat
  • Factory Hood
  • Factory Pop-up Headlights
  • Factory Sun Roof Panel (metal)
  • Factory Radiator Shroud
  • Factory Oil Cooler (the good kind)
  • Factory Driveshaft/ u-joints
  • Factory Exhaust Heat Shielding
What is needed to make the car functional:

  • Gas tank or fuel cell (factory gas tank is gone it was taking up too much room in the garage and I was planning on putting an ATL cell in)
  • Engine and Transmission
  • Reinstall factory wiring harness(es included but not installed) or use a painless universal setup (this would be my choice as it will end up weighing less and you can add what you want/need only).
  • Should Replace Windshield (spiderweb crack at bottom drivers side)

This car is ready for your Engine/Tranny (or buy one of mine in the other auctions) and get it back on the track. I am selling this car as a parts car only, it does have a clear title and it is currently registered as a "non-op" but as it has no dash (odometer) or engine it will not be able to pass smog in CA. This also means that if you desire to get this car back on the road the buyer will be responsible for making any modifications or adjustments to bring it back to compliance re: smog/registration, etc.  If I had the time what I would do is put a carbed 13b and a factory gas tank back in it with some Autometer gauges, cheap reliable fun.

This car is being sold As-is Where-is. Buyer must pick up the car from Huntington Beach, CA within one week of close of auction or arrange for car to be picked up/shipped within one week of close of auction. If car is not picked up during that time frame, it will be relisted and negative feedback will be left.

I will not schedule shipping or pickup for the buyer. IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY. Bring or arrange for a trailer, as this car does not move under it's own power. I need a $200 non-refundable deposit within 48hrs of the close of auction via PayPal and prefer cash in person for final payment. Certified checks will have to clear the bank before pick up or USPS Money Orders are also acceptable.
