 Love the Car but it's time to go back to a 4-seater. I purchased from a friend in August 2013. I was really surprised how well it handled. I've gotten 30 mpg in town & 34 mpg  on longer trips. It had 208,000 miles when I got it. I have driven it to Ohio, Georgia several times, use it daily to town.  She's been very dependable.  Feb.  had waterpump, serpentine belt & timing belt replaced & also 2 heater hoses. Air conditioning is very cold, heater is very hot. The previous owner said tires wear well on it, & I agree. Tires are same as when purchased, but still alot of tread left. been rotated. Oil & filter been changed 3 times since I had. Plugs replaced once. Everything else same as since I had.

Paint is original and was faded when I purchased, 2 weeks after I got, our road was re-paved, thought it would be a good thing, but county is trying to save money and are re-cycle paving.  Bad for cars. Lots of little rocks & little chips in paint(see pictures)but it was faded. Then in January, someone backed into passenger door in a parking lot(so door repair or replacement will be needed). Door is still fully functional.  License plate piece needs to be replaced(a 2-liter soda dropped while unloading groceries-see pictures)

No body rust(except on edge of door that needs repair from a previous owner mishap).  Seats have covers on until car is sold.

Top had a cut in top that my friend put duct tape on(I removed & put a patch of vinyl with shoe goo inside & out; hasn't leaked yet). I use 303 protectant on top, vinyl & rubber.

All doors, windows, latches, door locks, and mechanical work. *PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES, MACRO ON CAMERA USED TO SHOW DETAIL*PICTURES ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION.

I still drive daily, so miles may end up being slightly more or less(I estimated to end of auction)No long trips planned.

Thanks & Happy Bidding.
 ** *Plan to pay, pickup or arrange for shipping. Payment in full required within 7 days of end of auction by money order/cashiers check/cash.  500.00 deposit required through paypal within 24 hours of end of auction.******

Mazda hopes to return to Le Mans

Mon, Jun 29 2015

Mazda has been away from the winner's circle at Le Mans for some time now. But it could be preparing a return to the forefront at the famous French endurance race in the near future. That is, at least, if the racing enthusiasts within its ranks get their way. "I know that the expectation for us to return to Le Mans is high. I can imagine a day when Mazda returns," Nobuhiro Yamamoto told Top Gear at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend. "I hope - as with many other Mazda fans - that we go back to Le Mans." His words hardly serve as confirmation of the Zoom-Zoom brand's intentions, but they certainly speak rather loudly to a desire within its ranks. They hardly come out of left field, either. Yamamoto-san is arguably the man best positioned to spearhead such a campaign – or would at least be best informed if such a campaign were underway. He's currently the program manager for the MX-5, and decades ago was the racing engineer behind the 787B. That Group C prototype racer represented Mazda's last major effort at taking top honors at Le Mans, and take them it did when it won the race outright in 1991. The Japanese automaker was out in force this past weekend at Goodwood, the event's central sculpture honoring Mazda's racing history, and its presence only fueling rumors that it could be preparing a renewed assault on endurance racing – potentially once again under rotary power. The 787B, motorsport history buffs will tell you, represented the first and last time to date that a Japanese manufacturer won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Although Toyota has been competing with Audi and Porsche at the front of the field with the TS040 Hybrid, it has yet to win the key race, despite having taken the FIA World Endurance Championship last year. "Everyone at Mazda would love to see the only Japanese company to ever win the 24 Hours of Le Mans return to the famed twice-around-the-clock classic," a spokesman for Mazda's North American motorsports department told Autoblog by correspondence. "Whether that'll actually happen isn't something we can discuss at this time, but, given our historical and current involvement in motorsports, our interest in the event should be no surprise to anyone. We agree with Yamamoto-san when he says he hopes it happens." So while Mazda may not be ready to confirm the prospect of its return to Le Mans, it certainly isn't ruling it out, either.

44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.

RingBanana Miata breaks 9-min Nurburgring barrier

Wed, Aug 26 2015

The RingBanana is a cheap Mazda MX-5 Miata on a screaming mission: to lap the Nurburgring in under nine minutes. And let us emphasize the word "cheap." The team wanted the least expensive Miata they could find that still ran, and then wanted to spend the least amount of money possible in order to hit their target mark. We don't know how much they spent on the Ringbanana, but they were so indiscriminate about the purchase that they don't know what year the car is. They only know that it's got 90 horsepower, green springs, Fulda tires, and "it's completely crap." After setting a base lap of 9:21.8 the guys behind the project figured they'd have a fair bit of work. Turns out a new set of Kumho V70A semi-slick, road-legal race tires paired with Gabriel Pirana's driving is all they needed. With just that mod Pirana set a lap time of 8:59.9, and that was while having to deal with one spot of slow traffic that was getting around a stricken car. According to Wikipedia, this puts them between a 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged and a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS. Even though the team achieved its goal on its first attempt, the Ringbanana game isn't over – there's probably a suspension mod in the near future while the guys figure out just how quickly they can go. The video above does a good job of showing just how fun it can be driving a slow car fast.
