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.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

Mazda's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit costs $199 plus labor

Wed, Nov 21 2018

In relation to the rest of the market, Mazda was a bit behind with introducing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to its model range, but it's trying to make up ground. But now, vehicles equipped with Mazda Connect from the 2014 model year and newer are eligible for a dealer-installed upgrade with smartphone integration capabilities. But it's not a free update. Mazda first introduced Carplay and Android Auto capabilities on the 2018 Mazda 6 and further extended the technology to the 2019 CX-9 and CX-5 utility vehicles. Now the company wants to make the smartphone interfaces available across the lineup. For $199, plus labor costs, owners can buy the upgrade. In addition to the updated Mazda Connect software, Mazda will also update hardware, including more powerful and faster-charging 2.1-amp USB ports. It is important to remember that Mazda's infotainment touchscreens do not function while driving, so even with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, functionality will run through the command knob, buttons, or voice commands. For those interested in the upgrade, it is recommended to schedule an appointment for the upfitting. The service will take approximately two hours.UPDATE: A previous version of this story mistakenly said that Mazda's infotainment systems are not touchscreens. This is incorrect. The story has been updated accordingly.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. 2018 Mazda6 Turbo first drive
