There is no reserve. Do not worry about your valuable attention being wasted, the auction will not be ended early. At the end of this listing, someone, possibly you, will be happier by a factor of one Miata.
Mechanical: The engine starts easily with no smoke, rattles, or ticks. It runs smoothly from idle to redline, and has solid oil pressure at all times. I have always used the appropriate Mobil1 in the crankcase, transmission, and differential. The ignition consumables (plugs & wires) have about 3,000 miles on them, and are oem NGK parts. The injectors are a stock set from a 1999 Miata, and have been matched and flow tested. This car dyno'd just a little more than a hundred horsepower to the tires, which is consistent with a healthy engine. It is equipped with the Torsen Limited-Slip differential, which works perfectly and quietly. The only modification to the drivetrain is a stainless-steel Borla cat-back exhaust, which not only sounds great, but weighs about half as much as the factory setup. The A/C system worked fine, but I realized this was a convertible, so I removed what I considered 30lbs of dead weight. I will include at no additional charge, a Goodyear timing belt component kit and OEM water pump. Suspension: Within the last 1000 miles I have installed a Flyin' Miata's V-Maxx Adjustable Coilover/Strut setup. It also has a set of their adjustable sway bars, with adjustable end links. Brakes: 5000 miles ago I replaced all four calipers, all four rotors, all the pads, and all the fluid. Electrical: 12 months ago I installed a 500cca Lithium-Ion battery, that weighs 3 lbs. The Stereo system is terrific. It has a "Heavy-Duty" series Jensen head unit, meaning it is moisture and dirt resistant, and can be read easily in direct sunlight. There are USB and mini-jack inputs on the front of the CD player. I removed the interior of the car and re-wired the door speakers directly to a 75w-rms/channel amplifier in the trunk. The door speakers are just the nicest set of Polk 6.5" separates you can find. There is no distortion, even at surprisingly high volume. Exterior: The body is a mixed bag. I keep it garaged at all times. There has never been any rust. All of the body panels are original, and all the paint is original, and I wax it often. As you may know, the hood is aluminum. It has some hail dings in it that the rest of the car doesn't have, due to the softer metal. On the passenger side there is some damage that I have tried to highlight in pictures. The plastic rear panel that goes around the tail lights has two cracks, also seen in the pictures. The front fascia has a crack on the passenger side, I took pictures of that too. The fabric on the convertible top is better than nothing, but basically shot. Interior: Very clean. No odors. No stains. No burns. I replaced the plastic bezel surrounding the gauge cluster with a new OEM piece, since they apparently crack and rattle. That shifter is a genuine MOMO knob that fits tightly to the stock shaft. The steering wheel is a very nice NOS piece I found three years ago, as the leather on the original one was cracking. The only bad news is that when I installed the aftermarket tweeters in the doors, the vinyl on the door cards split on one side, illustrated in the pictures. The drivers window regulator requires significantly more effort than the passenger one, not sure what's going on there. There is a four inch long crack in the windshield down close by the dash. It's been there three years and hasn't spread at all. Frankly, I kind of forgot it's there. Rolling Stock: If I have to explain why these are awesome, this may not be the car for you. The wheels and tires have ~500 miles on them. They are genuine ATS 15" Cup wheels, wrapped in 225-width BFGoodrich Rival tires. They do not rub under any circumstances. The auction winner will be entitled to purchase some additional goodies at very attractive prices 1) Flyin' Miata Butterfly Brace and Frame rail kit & strut tower brace signed by Keith Tanner. $600 2) Flyin' Miata coolant reroute kit. $200 3.)Stock 14" Aluminum wheels this car was delivered from the factory with $75 Ask all the questions you want. If your question is dumb, or I answered it already in the description, I reserve the right to respond sarcastically. I don't want to sell this car at all, so at least grant me that. There will be no surprises. I have been selling on ebay for over a decade, including other vehicles. I'm willing to help with shipping, or if you want to fly-&-drive. Don't be the least bit concerned about making it home. This car will do it. I posted some more photos on my face book page: Search "The Vehicle Rescue", and you'll find a crap ton of pictures in the album entitled "Sleepy". |

2019 Mazda CX-3 crossover updated with a tad more power and refinement
Wed, Mar 28 2018NEW YORK — Mazda's smallest vehicle, the CX-3 subcompact crossover, is getting a refresh for the 2019 model year. Visually, you'd be hard-pressed to tell what changed, and that's because not much did. The grille now has slats that are grouped in pairs, and the rear taillights have been redesigned. But there are a number of changes aside from visuals that separate this model from the 2018. Under the hood is still a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. It picks up two more horsepower and pound-feet of torque for totals of 148 for each, though Mazda says that it also picks up torque across more of the rev band and gets better fuel economy. Mazda didn't have official mileage numbers, though. The CX-3 will also now come with the G-Vectoring Control system that helps improve turn-in by reducing torque and shifting weight forward. The steering and suspension have been slightly retuned, and the tires developed to better absorb bumps. Deeper inside the CX-3, several changes should make the driving experience more calm and refined. These include thicker door panels and rear door glass to make things quieter. The seats are now wider with redesigned foam cushions for greater comfort. A new integrated armrest in the center console and one in the rear seats with cup holders help the same cause. Mazda will also add faux suede trim to the cabins of CX-3s for a more premium feel. Pricing hasn't been announced for the new CX-3, but the little crossover will go on sale in late spring. So expect pricing to come soon. Fuel economy numbers will likely be available soon, too. Related Video:
Mazda's product roadmap after Skyactiv-X: diesel, rotary, hybrids, even EVs
Fri, Jan 26 2018When we first heard that Mazda had cleared the major hurdles on gasoline compression ignition, and were just tidying up the details with clear production intent, the first kneejerk thought was: That's it for Mazda's consumer diesel. In particular, the Skyactiv-D that was intended for sale in the U.S., only to be delayed for years by various regulatory roadblocks and other issues that Mazda is frustratingly (but understandably) vague on. At least, it'd die out at some point down the road once Skyactiv-X was widely available. It turns out that's not the case at all. Mazda will adopt an approach that becomes more and more electrified and diverse the closer you get to 2035. But internal combustion will play a deep and central role up to that point, and probably beyond. Before we get to what those different powertrains, diesel and electrified, will look like down the road, let's stop and think about Mazda's philosophy. It couldn't be more different from the approach of most manufacturers that are currently producing BEVs and hybrids, which are heavily incentivized by both the automakers and the government, both state and local, depending on the locality. Even with all that cash on top of the hood, the market penetration of electrified vehicles is low. Mazda's too small to lose money paying people to drive EVs and hybrids. Its risky solution (which is plucky, but has had mixed results) is to simply improve the internal combustion engine. It's achieved the best fleet average fuel economy in the U.S. already, using a range of direct-injection gas engines that are mostly naturally aspirated. A few tiny nods to electrification have been introduced, like i-eLoop regenerative braking and the Demio EV (a Japanese-market, last-generation Mazda2 with a 20kWh battery that was tested with a tiny rotary engine range extender). But the focus is on combustion, not electricity. And that focus isn't going away anytime soon. Mazda believes that pure gasoline, gasoline hybrid, and gasoline PHEV vehicles will remain the vast majority of vehicle sold through 2035. At that point, Mazda forecasts, BEV and fuel cell vehicles should make up about 15 percent of the total of Mazda's lineup. The remaining 85 percent will utilize some form of internal combustion engine. Now, that includes hybrids and even a small number of CNG/LPG cars. And these are global numbers, as well. There may be even fewer fuel cell and CNG/LPG vehicles sold here than abroad.
