Background:

This is the Speed 3 model with a 2.3L turbocharged DOHC engine with direct injection and variable valve timing. The Speed 3 comes standard with a 6 speed limited slip manual transmission.

These cars are fast and well equipped. The 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 is available only as a four-door hatchback and in two trim levels: Sport and Grand Touring. The Sport comes standard with 18-inch wheels, performance tires, a limited-slip front differential, a roof spoiler, automatic climate control, sport seats, a tilt/telescoping steering column, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with built-in audio and cruise controls, special Mazdaspeed interior trim, an auxiliary audio jack and pre-wiring for satellite radio. The Grand Touring adds auto on/off HID xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers, leather seat bolsters, a trip computer and a seven-speaker Bose stereo.

Recent Service:

Just performed was a major service to update the VVT actuator. The VVT actuator, timing chain, tensioner, chain guides, friction washers, and necessary gaskets were replaced. The spark plugs were replaced with this service. The EGR and throttle body was cleaned. The oil was changed with Mobil 1 full-synthetic which is what I always used. The factory installed VVT actuator is a faulty part and Mazda released a service bulletin to install the updated part and extended the warranty to cover the parts. This car did not fall into the warranty period and so was an out of pocket expense. This is a common update needed to these cars and afterwards makes a big difference in smoothness of the engine and the MPG achieved.

Upgrades:

This vehicle is mostly stock but does have a couple additions.

Injen cold air intake. It is mounted up in the fender with a hydro guard. This intake makes the car have great turbo and blow-off sounds.

JBR rear polyurethane motor mount. This helps the feel of shifting and the engine greatly. It does add a very small amount of vibration felt mostly when engine braking occurs.

Body:

The car has only a few small imperfections. It has some small rock chips in the front bumper/hood area. There is a scrape on the very bottom of the front bumper on the passenger side.

Interior:

The interior is clean and well kept. There are some small scuffs and the passenger seat has a light stain on it that has been there from when I purchased the car.

Known Questionable:

The six-disc CD changer is not installed in the car. It did not work when I purchased the car and I removed it. All the other options work, AUX input, radio, etc.

When it is cold outside I feel like the 1st to 2nd gear is hard. It has been the same from when I purchased the car a year ago, but I feel it is worth mentioning. When it is cold you have to shift slower to not grind a little. After a few miles the 1st to 2nd is fine. I have read about additives and things that help but I have not tried any. I changed the transmission fluid with Royal Purple fluid when I first purchased the car.

I am an honest seller and have listed much more than most dealers would ever disclose. I am hopeful the new owner will be happy and pleased with this car. I have enjoyed the car greatly and now must unfortunately sell it to purchase a truck as my needs have changed.

Please feel free to ask any questions. The car is sold AS-IS as I am a private seller and will not be in a place to offer a warranty.

I will accept cash for a day of pick up or a bank check/money order with time to clear which will be a few business days.

Please contact me with any questions regarding shipping. Any shipping will be the sole responsibility of the buyer, but contact me first so we can discuss it please.

As a last note I will cancel any bidder with less than a positive feedback score of 10 without having contacted me first.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.

Jay Leno brings a rotary-powered VW Beetle to the garage

Mon, Aug 1 2016

It takes something really unique or inventive to pique Jay Leno's interest. His show, Jay Leno's Garage, has featured everything from concours-worthy classics to completely custom, home-built machinery. How do you get Leno to feature one of more than 20 million Beetles on his program? Stick a turbocharged rotary engine under the hood. The Beetle's owner, Mario Markakis, swapped the car's stock flat four-cylinder for the Wankel engine from a 1990 Mazda RX-7 Series 5 Turbo. The engine's 250 horsepower are fed through a reinforced version of the Beetle's stock four-speed transmission. That's about five times the original engine's output. It works well, with the car putting down some impressive times at the drag strip. Markakis did most of the work to the Beetle in his garage. In addition to the engine swap, he's modified the car's brakes, suspension, and interior. Check out the video to hear all the details of this custom Wankel-powered Volkswagen.

Mazda Hazumi concept gets punchy, comes out of its corner early

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

The official images Mazda Hazumi concept, which previews the next-generation Mazda2, have leaked out from Chinese website Auto.sohu.com ahead of its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The subcompact, four-door hatchback shows off Mazda's Kodo design language in its smallest size yet. Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, and it is meant to look like it is packed with energy. It is a very attractive little concept and hopefully points to a more stylish face for the next-generation Mazda2.
Mazda has not unveiled the full details about the concept yet, but in a previous release, it said for the car is using a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. While Mazda has not officially said that the Hazumi shows the next Mazda2, it did say in its earlier release that it "points the way to the future" for the brand's small cars. Reading between the lines isn't too difficult, then.
