This is not a real 10th Anniversary (10AE) Turbo 2, this project is the car that Mazda should have made, complete it and you will have the first. The donor car was a 1988 10AE Turbo II The recipient car is a 1988 Convertible, white with black interior(from 89 convertible). (the most ideal recipient!) All 10AE specific items used in this conversion include the following: •Turbo Engine, ECU, Harness, and components •Turbo Tranny and Driveshaft •Turbo rear end, Axles, and Hubs •Turbo Cluster •10AE/Canadian Headlight Switch (for headlight washer button) •Headlight washers and reservoir •10AE Horn button •10AE Badging •10AE Wheels •Door panels •Front and Rear Bumper Covers •Side molding modified parts •Stock convertible taillights painted white •Have original 10 AE wing but it will need to be modified to be used on a convertible •convertible seats are retained(turbo seats available if you want them instead but still need to be redone), but they will be done in leather like that in the Coupe, instead of the perforated leather that comes on the convertible seats I started with a white 1988 Convertible Rx-7, I used this car as a daily driver for 3 years. I removed the NA 13B engine, Transmission and suspension and installed a good used S4 T2 Engine. From a 10AE T2 donor car I used the Front bumper with the Headlight washer system, front fenders with 10AE badges, 10AE Rims, complete suspension, transmission, and rear end. Black interior combination of 10AE and 1989 convertible Rx7 all black, including good 10AE steering wheel. Car is 75% completed. The engine is running and has been completely wired in. What needs work. The Convertible top works mechanism and motors good but vinyl has small tears and will need replaced. needs radio surround, needs 10AE specific shifter. Seats need to be recovered, Standard convertible seats or T2 your choice I have both. Needs complete exhaust. Will need tires ones on car are good for shipping only. I was building this as I would think that Mazda would have had they produced a convertible version of the 10AE. Sold as is, this is a running car will need some parts(exhaust, tires) but could be licensed and on the street in a few days or the projected completed by you in less than one week. I realize this is a unfinished project but the hard work has been done, even at the buy it now price I am losing money. My loss is your gain.

2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata powered by a Jaguar-sourced V6 for sale

Tue, Aug 25 2020

Cars & Bids, a relatively new site that specializes in auctioning modern enthusiast cars, is selling a 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata. While that's hardly unusual, this example lost its four-cylinder engine and gained a Jaguar-sourced V6. Pulling a 3.0-liter six out of a 2000 S-Type and dropping it into an unsuspecting Miata is apparently easier than it sounds. England-based Rocketeer offers a kit that makes the swap reasonably straightforward, though the listing notes the factory air conditioning system is not compatible with the new engine. Cold air aside, the installation is done so neatly that it looks like Mazda envisioned the Miata with a bigger engine. Jag's V6 inevitably adds weight to a roadster praised globally for its nimble handling, but it also brings a whole lot of horsepower to the table. Left stock, a 2002 Miata is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 142 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. The example listed on Cars & Bids puts 220 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque under the driver's right foot, figures that easily offset the weight gain. And, somewhat surprisingly, the six spins the rear wheels through a stock five-speed manual transmission. Flyin' Miata sway bars and Koni shocks improve handling. Close the hood, and this Jagazda looks like a run-of-the-mill 18-year-old Miata. The seller made no modifications to the body, it's still painted in its original shade of silver, and he kept the stock 15-inch wheels. The dual exhaust tips hint at the V6, but they're subtle enough to surprise more than a few racers at the next autocross event. The auction is live now, and bidding stands at $4,250 as of writing with about three days left before the hammer drops. If you miss your chance to bag it, several shops sell kits that let skilled shade-tree mechanics shoehorn Mazda's K-Series V6 (which powered the MX-6 and the Ford Probe, among other cars) into an older Miata.

Mazda planning 'aggressive' dealer shakeup

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Mazda has set an ambitious goal of selling 400,000 units by the end of the 2015 Japanese fiscal year in March 2016, and to do that, it's going to need to take some aggressive action. That means that underperforming members of its 637-showroom strong dealer network are about to get the axe.
The purge won't just be limited to dealers that aren't performing, though. Mazda will seek to consolidate poorly located dealers and build new showrooms in better locations. It still isn't clear how many dealers are being targeted or at what point Mazda would end its cull.
This consolidation of dealers is all part of a one-two punch for the Japanese brand, that will also see increased marketing efforts in 35 key areas. Of those markets, Mazda is placing a special emphasis on New York and LA, although there's not much mention of what other regions are being looked at.

Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.
