Oh, The Things we do for Love! I bought this little beauty 2 years ago. It had been hit in the rear end, all she needed was a bumper cover and a trunk deck. No suspension damage at all. First: A bit of Basic Information about our little Miata: !No body Damage! No Rust Top looks like new No rips/tears in interior No cracks on dash Touch Screen Am/FM/MP3/DVD Player (cool!) You'll see in the pictures above the radio a Air/Fuel Gauge, a Fuel Pressure Gauge and a Boost Gauge (from left to right) (See Supercharger below!) Power Windows Air conditioning (nice and cold!) 5 Speed Manual Transmission Body Kit (From Mazda OEM) A Whole Heck of Awesomeness! The vehicle has 45217 miles on it, but I had the engine rebuilt by an outfit that specializes in only Miatas in Sunnyvale, CA called Track-speed Engineering: I did this to ensure that the addition of the supercharger would never be a problem, the engine was wroking just right. Here is What They Did: Rebuilt Head with Super tech valves, Springs, and Valve Seals Port Matched Head Super tech Forged Pistons with 8.5:1 Compression for Forced Induction (Bored .030 Over) Eagle H-Beam Forged Rods Weisco XX rings ACL Race Bearings New Street/Strip Oil Pump New Water Pump New Gates Racing timing Belt/Pulleys/Tensioner All New Seals/Gaskets Threw on a Racing Beat Header for good measure! The Engine has exactly 233.6 Documented miles Then I put on the beast! MOSS Motors MP62 Supercharger Kit For anyone who does not know, the MP62 is the largest supercharger available for the Miata. I set i up with a modest pulley size to put out about 7 PSI according to the boost gauge. With pulley changes, this is capable of pushing as much as 20 PSI Then To hold Down the Power: I added a Racing Clutch form 949 Racing: Again, Miata specialists. This can hold down plenty of juice. So what's the catch? There isn't one. I have truly loved this car for the last two years, it has been a labor of love for me to take this MX-5 from something good to a truly great little car. But it's time to move on to the next project. So, the bottom line, if you are looking for a reliable, incredibly fun and very reasonable sports car, this is it. Oh, PS, this is an adult owned car from start to finish. Also, the sponsor vinyl on the side is completely removable. if you don't like it, but who wouldn't right? I like to have a little fun with my ads, but without any reservations, this is an excellent car and a blast to drive! Good luck bidding! And take care of her! |

Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
Patent application suggests Mazda rotary return
Mon, Apr 4 2016A recent patent application by Mazda reveals that the Japanese automaker is still working on the rotary engine. This could in fact be the Skyactiv-R engine found in the RX-Vision concept from the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. As with anything Wankel-related, nothing is certain until Mazda makes a production commitment. But this filing suggests that serious development is happening in Hiroshima. The 2011 Mazda RX-8 was the last rotary-powered car you could buy in America. Slow sales, poor fuel economy, and tighter emissions standards prevented Mazda from committing to a follow-up. But the fundamental principles of the rotary - compact size and light weight - perfectly fit Mazda's Skyactiv ethos. (For an explanation of how rotaries work, click here.) In this new engine the intake port sits at the bottom of the engine with the exhaust port on top instead of the other way around. That allows for lower mounting, which improves a car's center of gravity. This rotary is also turbocharged. Putting the turbo up high helps ensure it doesn't get in the way of any body or chassis crossmembers. The implication of those claims is that somebody is thinking about how to put this engine in a car. There are other benefits as well. The short path from the exhaust port to the turbo ensures minimal turbo lag. It also allows for a close-mounted catalyst on top of the enigne, which will help emissions. Another innovation in this new engine is a triangle-shaped rotor that covers part of the exhaust port. This allows for different exhaust flow characteristics. The filing claims that that two of the four orientations allow for less airflow resistance in the exhaust port. As in previous Mazda rotaries, there are two spark plugs to manage ignition timing and combustion. But unlike in the 16X concept, Mazda's last public display of such an engine, the new rotary uses port fuel injection. Keep in mind this is only a patent application. A Mazda spokesperson refused to comment on future product, but commented "As we stated at the Tokyo motor show, Mazda is doing all that it can to bring a rotary to the market." In the meantime, keep your RX-7 prayer candles lit and hope for the return of the rotary before the end of the decade. You can bide your time by reading the entire application here.

Mazda could electrify the next Miata, is trying to figure out how
Mon, Dec 2 2019The next Mazda Miata is at the embryonic stage of development. The men and women in charge of the project are debating whether to electrify the roadster, or if it's better to keep it true to its roots. The Miata is not a high-volume model in any market, so it doesn't need a plug to help Mazda comply with looming emissions regulations. The company explained it's not a matter of compliance; it's about how the definition of a sports car and the expectations of motorists could change in the 2020s. "The preferences of people who enjoy driving sports cars might be changing, so we need to think about what direction society is going in. We want to look at the best powertrain to keep the vehicle lightweight, but because of the diversifying requirements and preferences, we need to explore various options," Ikuo Maeda, Mazda's global design director, in an interview with Autocar. Adding any degree of electrification to the Miata beyond a relatively basic mild-hybrid system is easier said than done. An unusually low weight and a compact footprint defined the original model introduced in 1989, and these attributes continue to characterize the fourth-generation car (pictured) sold in 2019. Electrification requires batteries, batteries add weight and require space, and Mazda doesn't want to end up with a 3,000-pound Miata, or one that's the size of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class Convertible. Keeping its chassis balanced is a delicate task, too. Overcoming this challenge is not impossible, however, and batteries are expected to become lighter and smaller during the 2020s. The next-generation Miata isn't expected out until the middle of the 2020s, so Mazda has time to figure out whether it should go hybrid, arrive as an electric car, or carry on with a rev-happy, naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine. Maeda stressed a final decision on the matter hasn't been made yet. "I don't have the answer right now, but we need to make a vehicle that people can own without worrying that they are not being eco-friendly," he concluded.
