1988 Mazda B2200 Custom Truck.  I have owned this truck for 11 years.  It was bone stock when I bought it.  I have completed all of the modifications myself.  I have built several Mazda trucks over the years.  This truck is traditionally bodydropped, with no step in the cab- smoothed floor, and a raised stock bed floor.  It has four wheel independent controlled firestone airbags.  It features Custom tubular Upper and lower front control arms, eliminating the front strut rod/radius rods.  The rear suspension has been frame clipped with an independent rear suspension from an 88' RX7 Turbo II car.  The front hubs have been redrilled professionally to 5x4.5 inch/114.3mm to match the rear RX7 rear suspension.  The rear end is the bigger axles and 3rd member from the rx7, a posi 4.10 unit. The rear shocks are cantilever style mounted under the bed floor.  The front has newer shocks relocated behind the control arms.  The truck has a brand new custom driveshaft connecting the stock B2200  5 speed transmission to the RX7 rear end.  The front of the cab has been tubbed with trailer fenders, stock inner fenders removed.  A brand new core support was weleded in during the body drop.  The truck has been body dropped 3.5 inches, with shaved cab pinch welds.  The truck lays flat on Mazda RX8 18x8 inch Shinka wheels, 215/35/18 inch Toyo tires.  The frame has been plated on the bottom with 1/4" plate so the frame will drag before the body.  I do not drag this truck.  It has a custom fuel cell under the bed floor with a custom fuel filler beck utilizing the stock fuel filler door.  The fuel cell is aluminum.  It sits in a cage in the rear frame and has a drag bar under the back of the frame to protect it from getting hit by road debris and the drag bar also protects to roll pan from being ripped off. 

This truck has no rust whatsoever.  The floors are solid as well as the bed floor.  The paint is in good shape.  It is stock Mazda truck Red.  The front of the truck has been repainted to match, but doesn't match perfectly.  It has a B2600i stock bubble hood.  The front bumper is a brand new Mazda bumper, not a cheap ebay foreign unit. The cab of the truck is a different shade from the rest of the body panels.  Overall it looks good and is straight but a coat of paint would make this a show winner for sure!

This truck has a newly rebuilt stock 2.2 liter engine, about 30,000 miles on it since the rebuild.  The rebuild included new piston rings, rod and crankshaft bearings, Mazda cylinder head gasket, and cleaned and reworked cylinder head.  A new exedy clutch was put in at the rebuild.  The truck has been painstakingly converted to factory Mazda EFI California emissions fuel injection.  It features a custom TIG welded aluminum intake manifold.  The truck runs great!  It has a high heat powder coated Pacesetter header.  It has a brand new aluminum radiator and electric fan.  The truck doesn't leak a drop of anything.  It never uses oil.  Runs terrifically.  It has a custom powdercoated Rare Magnum Mazda valve cover colored Red to match the truck.  It has a brand new Optima Red top battery.  No A/C, No Power steering.  It does have good heat. The truck recently got MAZDA OEM upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, Mazda belts, thermostat, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and OEM NGK wires. 

The stock Mazda A/C compressor Sanden unit has been converted into an engine driven air compressor for the air ride system.  The truck has eight Parker valves 3/8 inch for independent control.  It also has four manual valves for slow inflation deflation.  The custom Aluminum TIG welded center console houses the four switches for the eight electric valves and the four manual switches as well as three gauges for front and rear air pressures and the center gauge is air tank pressure.  The truck has two chrome 3 gallon tanks mounted under the bed floor. 

The interior of the truck is very clean and nice.  It has new aftermarket carpet which fits extremely well, you can barely tell it's bodydropped.  It has nice Miata black cloth bucket seats.  It has LE-5 style rear interior featuring rear cab wall carpet and plastic side cab panels.  The Alpine CD player is mounted in the center of the dash under the air vents.  Stock Mazda door panels in good condition.  It has four Boston 4 inch speakers mounted in the stock locations.  Alpine has front USB and aux. inputs.  The truck also has Brand New Mazda OEM Window run channels, outer and inner window felt strips on doors.  Windows roll up and down very nicely.

This is a show truck, I would not recommend this truck as a daily driver.  It is a good driver, and I would not hesitate to jump in this truck and drive across the country.  However it is more of a show and play vehicle.  Due to the suspension mods and rear IRS, it will go through tires.  It drivers great and has been aligned, but it goes through tires about every 10-15k miles.  It's just the nature of the truck.  It has newer brakes on it.  Also it has no catalytic converter, and straight pipe with a glass pack exhaust.  It's louder than stock but not bad.  Not much room under this truck.  The exhaust does not drag and sits nicely under the truck while it's layed out.  The front of the truck must be raised to turn, which makes it not a good candidate for a daily driver. 

If you are looking for a great well built lowrider Mazda, this is the truck.  I've owned this truck for 11 years.  It's been a lot of fun.  It's time for other projects for me now.  I'd like to see it go to a good home.  Please call Jim @ 636-577-4447 for questions.  No texts please.  The mileage on the truck is not accurate, but it really makes no difference as everything has been rebuilt. It's a clear title in my name. I am a serious motivated seller but I won't give this truck away. Consider this: you CANNOT buy a stock form of the truck with zero rust and a good running engine for less than 2500 dollars, kudos to you if you can. Furthermore, you cannot modify this truck to this extend for 4000 dollars. At 6500 dollars, I think it's a fair price for this custom vehicle.

Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.

Mazda RT24-P brings KODO style to the Rolex 24 at Daytona

Thu, Nov 17 2016

In addition to its new CX-5 crossover, Mazda revealed its new racecar, the RT24-P, at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The car has been designed for the Daytona Prototype international (DPi) class in IMSA's WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and will make its racing debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. It was designed using Mazda's KODO design language, which the brand has so successfully applied to its road-going cars. The racer's relation to Mazda's production cars is made obvious by the small five-point grille at the tip of the RT24-P's nose. While plenty of credit needs to go to the stylists and aerodynamicists at Mazda and Multimatic, one of the companies Mazda partnered with on the car, some of the credit needs to go to IMSA's new DPi rules for 2017. The new DPi class is very similar to the LMP2 class that it competes with in the WeatherTech series, with some noteworthy differences. The DPi class allows manufacturers to create unique bodies and engine packages for one of the four chassis available. The LMP2 class requires competitors to use the chassis companies' bodies, and are restricted to one engine package. View 14 Photos As for the powertrain, the Mazda RT24-P uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out roughly 600 horsepower. Mazda used the same engine in its P2-class race car last season. Mazda's body and engine will ride atop a chassis developed by Riley Technologies and Multimatic. You may remember that latter company as the one that developed the awesome spool valve shocks on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. The RT24-P will be campaigned by Speedsource, a company that has been racing Mazdas in American endurance racing for years, including last year's P2 cars. Considering Mazda's success in making such a cool race car, we're excited to see what other manufacturers do with the extra design freedom of the DPi class. Both Chevrolet and Ford competed last year in the WeatherTech prototype class with Daytona Prototype-style cars, and Honda competed with an LMP-style racer. Depending on what other makes decide, this year's WeatherTech line-up could have some nifty designs.

Mazda still has a team working on rotary engines

Sun, Sep 20 2015

The flame still burns within Mazda to stage a rotary engine revival. Before you start getting excited, it's way too soon to start saving money for the fabled, next-gen RX-7 or RX-8. Still, company boss Masamichi Kogai confirmed to Autocar that the Japanese automaker has an engineering team dedicated to improving the Wankel. This development group has the hard task of trying to make the rotary stack up to modern internal combustion engines in terms of emissions and fuel-economy standards. Neither factor were ever exactly Wankel's strong suits. Kogai described them as working "very enthusiastically" to Autocar. The boss didn't discuss any future RX-vehicles or the size of the team, however, a report from last year indicated that there were 30 engineers in partnership with universities to update the engine's design. After problems keeping up with emissions and fuel economy, Mazda built it's last rotary for an RX-8 in June 2012. Since then, there have been intermittent rumors of a return. One possible solution was a design called the 16X that was supposed to offer more torque and better fuel economy. Another possibility was a small-displacement unit as a range-extender in an electric Mazda2. Rumors of a new RX-7 have been heard for years. In 2013, Kogai clearly said that it wasn't happening. When asked again last year, he reiterated the same point.
