Up for auction is a 1999 Mazda Miata.  I purchased this car a couple of months ago as a third vehicle that I thought would be fun to have with spring time coming up.  I have two kids and my wife does not like to ride it, because she says it is too small.  For these reasons I do not get to use as much as I would like so I am putting it up for sale to buy something else the whole family can enjoy.  I will give you a break down of everything on the car.

Body:  The body is in fair to good shape.  There is no rust on the body of the car or the frame of the car.  There are a few spots on the hood, trunk, and the top of the rear quarter panels where the clear coat is fading.  You can see these spots in the pictures.  There is one dent in the rear section of the bumper, also shown in the picture.  Besides that there are some minor scratches as can be expected in a car of this age, but nothing significant.  If I were to keep it I would probably pain the car just to make it look really nice but it is not a necessity.  The top on the car is in car is in very good shape with no rips or tears and it does not leak.  The picture shows a spot on the rear bumper but the bumper has since been repainted.  It has brand new tires on it with after market ICW wheels.

Interior:  The interior of the car is in fair to good shape.  It has black cloth interior.  The driver seat has three tears in it so I put the seat cover on it to prevent them from getting worse.  The passenger seat has one small wear spot next to the console that is not very noticeable.  There are no cracks in the dash or door panels.  The carpet is black and is in good shape. 

Electronics:  All the electronics work on the car as they are suppose to.  The only thing that needs to be fixed is the passenger headlight bulb needs to be replaced.  The power windows work as they are suppose to.  All the gauges work and are accurate.  The interior lights all work fine.  It has the factory Mazda CD player that works good with no problems.  The check engine light is on.  I had it checked by Auto Zone and they said it was reading an EGR valve so I did not worry about fixing it.  The previous owner recent replaced the main wire harness on the car.  I just replaced the heater core so it has very hot heat now.  The A/C works but needs a charge.  I was not too worried about that because I drive with the top down anyway. 

Drivetrain:  This is the best part of the car.  It has had a lot of recent work done by the previous owner and myself.  It has a great running 1.8 liter engine that puts out 140HP mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.  It has a brand new performance clutch in it and it shift great.  The previous owner recently rebuilt the top end of the motor.  I am not sure about the bottom end but it holds very good oil pressure and there are no odd sounds.  There is also a new radiator and fuel pump.  I just replaced the passenger front wheel hub.  This car only weighs 2300lbs and it will fly.  There are a lot of curves on the roads around my house and I can take them at 80MPH and it only feels like I am doing 30MPH.  The car is a blast to drive.

Just to give you an overview of all the recent work done to the car:

  1. Top end of engine rebuilt
  2. New performance clutch
  3. New main wire harness
  4. New tires
  5. New front passenger wheel bearing
  6. New fuel pump
  7. New heater core and hoses

The car runs and drives great with no problems.  I am selling it at NO RESERVE.  I do have it for sale or trade locally.  If you have any questions please feel free to email, text, or call Josh at 864-254-8572.

Mazda will introduce a groundbreaking new diesel engine in 2020

Mon, Oct 21 2019

Mazda is preparing to introduce its first series-produced electric car, but it's not sending the diesel engine to the automotive graveyard. The company remains committed to turbodiesel technology, and it will take its efficiency to the next level when it introduces a new range of engines in 2020. "We are sticking to diesel engines. In 2020, we have a new approach to diesel engines. We will show you how clean and very efficient diesel engines can be," pledged Christian Schultze, the head of research and development for Mazda's European division, in an interview with British magazine Autocar. He declined to provide specific details about the breakthrough that made a cleaner, more efficient diesel engine possible. Asked about how the engine compared to SkyActiv-X, the carmaker's newest and most innovative gasoline-powered engine, he pointed out "there are not so many differences between [gasoline] and diesel." His announcement falls in line with Mazda's belief that it's crucially important to consider real-world emissions over the life cycle of a car, not just local emissions. The company has realistically stated the internal combustion engine -- whether it burns gasoline or diesel -- will "continue to be the base power for 85 percent of all cars up until 2035." It might join forces with a 48-volt electrical system, or it might be part of a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, but it will still be around in 15 years. To that end, it's important to keep improving the technology, and not to prematurely pen its obituary.  "We hope governments wake up and see that electrification is one way but there are others, too," Schultze concluded, adding that SkyActiv-X is a step in the right direction. Mazda will release more details about its next turbodiesel engine in the coming months, but it's too early to tell whether it will available in the United States, where demand for oil-burning cars has hit rock bottom. As of 2019, the only diesel-powered Mazda sold in America is an upmarket variant of the CX-5 (pictured). Auto News Mazda Diesel Vehicles

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal to be livestreamed, feature Duran Duran

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

We're all hungry like the wolf to see the unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, but Mazda is seriously excited about taking the sheet of its latest droptop because it has 1980s New Wave act Duran Duran headlining the event. In case you can't make it to Monterey, CA, Tokyo or Barcelona to watch the reveal happen, the brand is also livestreaming it on YouTube starting at 6:00 PM PT (9:00 PM ET). The Miata is then showing its all-new face again during the broadcast of Fashion Rocks on CBS on September 9 at 9:00 PM ET.
Facts about the new MX-5 have remained elusive, but we saw its bare chassis at the 2014 New York show. The roadster was rumored to return to the classic oval grille from the earlier models and also shed a decent amount of weight over the current version, possibly around 300 pounds.
Don't worry about noting the big reveal in your calendars, though. Not only will Autoblog be in attendance in Monterey to hear Simon Le Bon belt out Rio, we will also publish another post linking to the livestream before the unveiling. In the meantime, scroll down to read Mazda's announcement and check out the link to the stream, which just shows a countdown at the moment.
