I'll start with the bad news:
Engine spun a rod bearing and threw a rod. Will need a new block and lower end rebuild. Now the good stuff: This car was built by Flyin' Miata in Grand Juction Colorado in 2004. A brand new crate motor 1.8 was installed along with a FM2 turbo system. The system is tunable via a Link computer and keypad. 250hp with 12lbs of boost. Flyin Miata also installed their FM kevlar clutch at this time and an upgraded radiator and fan kit. They also went through the suspension and installed Tokico 5 way adjustable shocks, FM sport coil springs, FM sway bars, FM strut tower brace and rear brace. It has an FM exhaust too. I have receipts for everything that has been done. Thousands invested. Turbo kit says "dealer alternative" that is the company Flyin Miata started out as before changing names. Wheels are ASA by BBS 15". Tires are Kumhos with excellent tread. Rotors are cross drilled and pads are newer. It has a Hard Dog roll bar and a brand new convertible top. This is a lifelong Colorado car that only spent a few months on the road in MI. It has absolutely no rust!!. There are a few little dings and it has never been in an accident. The dings are pictured: one in the drivers door like the size of a nickel, one on the drivers rear fender lip, a few on the passenger rear quarter that were made from the inside out when someone did a careless job of replacing a battery, one scuff in the right front of the front bumper cover and a crack in the right front turn signal lens. But THAT"S IT. Otherwise the body is perfect. Glass is all perfect too. Clean CO title. In addition it has a really nice sound system. A Rockford Fosgate amp custom mounted in the trunk, 2 8 inch kicker solobaric subs in a custom built inclosure in the roll bar/behind seats area, component speakers in the doors and a nice Sony head unit with aux input. The engine lost oil pressure for some reason and threw a rod. The motor only had 25,000 miles on it at that point. I bought the car as it sits. I was looking for a MIata to build into a Rally Cross car when I bought this. I now realize that I really don't want or need a turbo car for this project and I definitely don't need a car with a body as nice as this one so I am passing it on to someone who can return it to what it was a really well built strew/ track car build by a very well known builder. 115K on the body. 25,000 on all the custom work and motor. |

Britain's BBR already promising 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata with 200+ horsepower
Thu, Jan 8 2015The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of Autoblog's most anticipated cars to drive this year, and with good reason. Thanks to svelte, angular styling, the promise of less weight, the possibility of more power and all at a fairly affordable price, it represents pure, automotive enjoyment. Mazda is still not saying exactly how much power the new Miata's 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine will make, but that isn't keeping British tuner BBR from already working out how to squeeze even more ponies from the mill – potentially as much as 200 horsepower with natural aspiration. The company bought a Mazda3 for access to its 2.0-liter Skyactiv and went to work on it. "Our objective with the all-new MX-5 is to achieve the same 200 bhp output that we can easily enjoy with simple bolt-on components on the current 2.0-litre NC model, before building on further power upgrades using forced induction," said Neil McKay of BBR in the company's release. The 3's version of the engine is rated at 155 hp and 150 pound-feet of torque but is expected to be tuned for additional grunt for the droptop. Still, it gives BBR something to experiment with before the real thing is available. The tuner also got the opportunity to take a look at a pre-production 2016 Miata and is already developing "subtle bodywork alterations" for the upcoming convertible. You can get a taste for the company's plans with the rendering above. It sports tinted lights, a front lip spoiler, lower side sills and a tiny rear spoiler. Scroll down to read more about BBR's plans in the official announcement. BBR UNVEILS STUNNING 200 BHP ALL-NEW MAZDA MX-5 CONCEPT Despite deliveries not scheduled to begin until July, legendary Mazda performance tuner BBR is making great progress with both its visual concept and powertrain development for the all-new MX-5. "A program of detailed performance enhancements has already commenced at our Brackley base," says BBR's Neil Mckay, "thanks to our investment in a 2.0-litre Skyactiv powered Mazda 3. Our objective with the all-new MX-5 is to achieve the same 200 bhp output that we can easily enjoy with simple bolt-on components on the current 2.0-litre NC model, before building on further power upgrades using forced induction." Having viewed a pre-production version of the car BBR is also working hard on visual enhancements to add more presence to the svelte lines of the all-new MX-5.
Rumored Mazda CX-3 may not be for US
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Mazda has used its Kodo design language to make some of the most attractive, affordable cars in the world right now, with the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 (pictured above), but it still lacks a crossover in the smaller class, which are becoming popular on the world market. It seems like a natural fit then, that the Japanese company would shrink its CUV design even smaller for a CX-3 to fill the gap. However, a rumor suggests that the compact might not make it to these shores.
The Mazda2-based crossover is due later this summer in Japan and is launching in Europe and emerging markets later, according to Automotive News citing a report in Japan's Nikkei newspaper. The little CUV would cost between 1.5 million yen and 2.0 million yen ($14,700-$19,500) in Japan and be available with diesel and petrol engine options. However, the report made no mention of selling it in North America. There is a glimmer of a chance for the CX-3 here. Mazda is upgrading its Mexican factory to 230,000 annual unit capacity by 2016, which gives it the room to add the new vehicle.
While the midsize CUVs are hugely popular in the US, compacts like the Buick Encore are still a small portion of things. If Mazda could time the CX-3's launch right here, it could take advantage of the lack of competition.
'Ringbanana' Miata is improbable 9-minute Nurburgring car
Wed, Aug 12 2015The combination of being inexpensive, capable, reliable, and friendly to all skill levels makes the Mazda Miata one of the world's most popular platforms for motorsports, but the roadsters aren't exactly rocketships. What would it take to lap a ratty, first-gen example around the Nurburgring Nordschleife in less than nine minutes? We're not exactly sure, but the Ringbanana team intends to discover the answer. The project is the type of thing that gets dreamed up after a few too many pilsners: buy the cheapest running Miata available and put as little money necessary into the roadster to make it capable around the 'Ring. As the Best-Motoring-inspired intro explains, the Mazda is largely stock other than some Fulda performance tires, possibly aftermarket springs, and a stripped interior. The video above shows the baseline test, and the convertible manages a 9:21.8 circuit, which doesn't seem too bad as a start. The video below goes into far more detail about the project's genesis and its goal. Plus, the two hosts are quite entertaining when replying to the comments from the original clip. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to following along on Facebook to see what it takes to get the Ringbanana below nine minutes. This content is hosted by a third party.
