First year production model for the 1994 Mazda Miata M-Edition. Only 3000 produced in 1994, and only produced for 4 years. Very rare car, if you can find an M-Edition and especially in good condition.

All 3000 1994 M-Editions were produced in Montego Blue Mica (color code M8) with tan leather interior and tan top. Top and back window was replaced in the last 2 years. Color is unique and looks blue until the sun hits it when it appears to be a beautiful rich green/blue shade. Top is new and in excellent shape.

Special and Standard Features: Standard Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, polished 7 spoke 14" wheels, air conditioning (works great), stainless M Edition sill plates, original M-Edition custom mats (have normal wear). Includes all A and B package options which include, power steering, leather wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels, torsen limited slip differential, cruise control, power windows, headrest speakers (and they still work),and power antenna (new).

Car was purchased in 2006 for my son to drive while he was in high school. At that time the car had 88000 miles. I bought the car locally and it was purchased new in Spartanburg SC. He outgrew the car so it was sold to a friend (school teacher) until I bought it back from her this past year. Car has been garaged most of the time since 2006, and from the appearance prior to that as well.

The car runs and drives great. It's a 4 cylinder 1.8 liter with 128 hp. The gas mileage is great, around the low/mid 20's. I replaced all brake pads and tires in 2008, and are not in need of replacement yet. Since I've owned the car I've replaced the pwr antenna, the water pump, and the timing belt. I added the chrome roll bar in 2007, I replaced the stock radio with a Pioneeer radio/CD player complete with I-Pod connection, and 250 watt speakers. Sound is great. I have all the original parts that have been replaced, such as the original radio. All interior and paint are original, with the exception of a small panel in the passenger sear I had replaced because of a tear, and the same seat has a small scratch (but not a tear). In 2007 a deer ran into the front of the car so we replaced the hood and nose/bumper. All the work was done by a local custom shop and looks as good if not better than original. As you can see from the pics the paint looks great for the age, and while there are some small imperfections and nicks nothing serious.

I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have to ensure you have a clear understanding of what you are bidding on.

The car is for sale locally also so I reserve the right to end this sale at anytime.

Mazda returning to top-tier racing with diesel-powered prototype in USCC

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Mazda has unveiled its latest challenger in the top flight of endurance racing, a diesel-powered prototype that will campaign the inaugural, 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship. The new Skyactiv-D-powered car will make its race debut at January's Rolex 24 at Daytona.
"This is the most significant step Mazda has taken towards returning to the global racing stage since our overall victory at Le Mans in 1991," said the director of Mazda Motorsports, John Doonan. That historic racecar, the rotary-powered 787B, has grown to become one of Mazda's many, well-known racers.
More recently, the Japanese brand has been making waves in the Grand-Am series, campaigning RX-8s and, most recently, running diesel-powered Mazda6 sedans in the GX-class. Mazda will campaign two factory-backed prototypes at Daytona. Driver lineups will be announced closer to race day.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

Mazda Skyactiv-D racer first diesel to run at Indy in 60 years

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

While it may not be touting the old "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" axiom we all know and love, Mazda recognizes that racing can only improve its cars. And so it's no surprise that the Japanese automaker is testing and refining its Skyactiv-D diesel engine by sending it out on various race tracks around the country - notably being the first diesel ever to compete at Daytona and the first to notch a Grand Am win at Road Atlanta.
Next up? Indy. It has been over 60 years since a diesel-powered machine ran at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Cummins-powered racer that competed in the 1952 Indy 500 with a 6.6-liter inline-six-cylinder oil-burner was a fast and brutal machine that set a new lap record in qualifying leading up to the race. Though that car was withdrawn with turbocharger failure 71 laps in, its diesel powerplant left an indelible impression on the racing community, and that's something Mazda hopes to accomplish once again.
Mazda says that the diesel engine in its race car is pretty darn close to stock - 51 percent stock by parts count, and 63 percent stock by weight - which means the way it performs in competition is at least a somewhat meaningful way to the stock engine's durability in the real world. Check out the image of the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racer posing alongside the 1952 Cummins above (click to enlarge) and feel free to peruse the press release below for the rest of the details.
