"nadine" Ls-1 V-8 Miata on 2040-cars
Oakville, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for grabs is "Nadine" the LS-1 powered Miata. This car has been seen in the movie "Fireball Run; Northern Exposure" as well as the Feb '14 issue of Car Craft.
This car has been constructed with the complete Boss Frog catalog in it. This was the development mule for BF's 8.8" Cobra IRS diff mount. It sports a '99 Vette LS-1, an '02 F-body t-56 trans, and the '04 Cobra 3.73 posi rear. It shifts butter smooth with a shortened B&M shifter through the uncut stock floor. The Boss Frog kit allows the engine and trans to fit the car WITHOUT the need to extensively modify the trans tunnel as most other kits require. Handling is still Miata friendly and the ride is supple with a combination of Mazdaspeed springs on modified shocks. The rear sway bar was removed and the front was replaced with a Flyin' Miata hollow bar, bar reinforcements, and adjustable end links. Unlike most swaps, this car carries the Mazda PS pump and lines rather than cobble hoses to a GM pump. This was done to ensure that pressures and flow rates would not compromise other steering components. Also, should the need arise, replacement parts are inexpensive, easy to find, and fit without modification. Every system of the car has been upgraded from the chassis (floor supports/door bars/roll bar/engine bay stiffener/strut brace) to the cooling system (3" thick all aluminum double pass rad) to the fuel system (Walbro 225lph pump and 1/2" braided lines front to rear) to the brakes (4 piston Wilwood calipers on 11" rotors) all with the purpose of making sure the car could handle the added power safely. A full build history of pictures is on CD and will be included with the sale. Constructed with the best parts available including names like Griffin, Painless, Simpson Design, Boss Frog, B&M, Wilwood, and many more. Better than 8k trouble free miles since completion.
Turnkey cars of this type are selling at a starting price of $42,000 PLUS your Miata with a 12 week waiting period for construction..... "Nadine" has a reputation, history, and is ready to drive today! Stickers may be easily removed and extra original paint is included for future use.

Live pics of 2014 Mazda3 from NYC, sedan on its way
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, straight from the memory cards of our own cameras. As you can see, the only version of the 2014 Mazda3 that the automaker is showing off at the moment is the hatchback, but we've gotten confirmation from Mazda that the sedan version will be shown sometime within the next five weeks.
So far, Mazda isn't commenting on whether or not we can expect a higher-performance Mazdaspeed3 version of the car, but we've got our fingers crossed. In any case, we're quite drawn to the appearance of this new hatchback from Mazda, with its flowing lines and character creases setting it apart from the rest of the compact segment in which it competes.
We also appreciate the sound engineering that went into the new 3. Despite boasting a wheelbase that's longer than the car it replaces, we're pleased to see that Mazda has kept its exterior size in check - it's actually shorter overall than the last-gen model - while also reducing weight by about 200 pounds. That's bound to be good for the new 3's dynamic properties.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata configurator fulfills your droptop dreams
Fri, Aug 14 2015The first batch of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miatas are already at dealers, but Mazda is finally launching a configurator for its completely revised sports car. Even if pricing doesn't come as a surprise, you can still have some fun creating one to your own specific tastes. The major equipment changes on the Miata happen between the Sport, Club, and Grand Touring trims, and options are generally kept light. The real standout is the Brembo/BBS package for $3,400 that's exclusive to the Club version. It adds Gunmetal 17-inch BBS wheels, Brembo front brakes with red calipers, side sill extensions, a rear bumper skirt, and keyless entry. On the Sport and Grand Touring, $1,200 buys the Appearance Package with a front air dam, side sill extensions and rear bumper skirt. There's also keyless tech for $130 on them. Mazda also offers a few items to dress up the convertible's looks. There's a choice of a black or body color rear lip spoiler for $350, and Soul Red Metallic paint adds $300. For protection, clear film for the front and rear paint is $125, all-weather floor mats go for $90, and wheel locks cost $55. Finally, a cargo net is $50. We ticked every applicable box on the Club trim above to make its $28,600 base price leap to $33,790, after the $820 destination charge on all models. Happy building. Related Video:
Mazda Hot Lap Challenge will put simulator drivers in real Miatas
Mon, Apr 16 2018Using a video game as a feeder racing series is nothing new. Sony and Nissan have run the GT Academy for years now, rewarding the best Gran Turismo players with the chance to drive a real car. It seems Mazda wants a piece of the action. This year, it will host an iRacing Hot Lap Challenge, giving the best players a trip to the 2019 Rolex 24 at Daytona. The two fastest drivers will race head-to-head, with the winner earning a test drive in a Mazda MX-5 Miata Cup car. During 2018, Mazda will host events events at select races where participants can lap Daytona in an iRacing simulator. Those who can't attend one of those events will have the chance to compete on iRacing at home. At the end of the year, 35 drivers will compete for a trip to the 2019 race. That winner will be a guest of Mazda Team Joest. The event is open to U.S. residents age 18 and above. Full details can be found on the iRacing website. The event calendar is listed below.
