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". |

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Mazda6 diesel delayed until April
Fri, 13 Sep 2013Diesel enthusiasts waiting on the new Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will have to wait a bit longer. The shapely fuel-efficient four-door has just had its North American launch pushed back to April, due to delays in emissions testing. Mazda had originally planned to launch the Mazda6 diesel before the end of this year, making the four- to five-month delay a rather serious one.
Mazda's senior vice president of US operations, Robert Davis, told Mazda employees in a letter obtained by Automotive News that, "final certification testing - the results of which are looking encouraging - is taking longer than we had initially expected." Following this letter, Mazda made an official announcement:
"The on-sale date for Mazda6 SKYACTIV-D clean-diesel has been moved to late-Spring 2014, to accommodate final emissions testing and certification. We are pleased with the ongoing development and are excited to launch this much-anticipated vehicle in North America. 2014 Mazda6 sales continue to exceed both our expectations and our production abilities, and supplies of the car are short at dealers across the U.S. More information on the SKYACTIV-D clean diesel Mazda6 will be available closer to the on-sale date."
These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
