Up for auction is a 1999 Mazda Miata.  I purchased this car a couple of months ago as a third vehicle that I thought would be fun to have with spring time coming up.  I have two kids and my wife does not like to ride it, because she says it is too small.  For these reasons I do not get to use as much as I would like so I am putting it up for sale to buy something else the whole family can enjoy.  I will give you a break down of everything on the car.

Body:  The body is in fair to good shape.  There is no rust on the body of the car or the frame of the car.  There are a few spots on the hood, trunk, and the top of the rear quarter panels where the clear coat is fading.  You can see these spots in the pictures.  There is one dent in the rear section of the bumper, also shown in the picture.  Besides that there are some minor scratches as can be expected in a car of this age, but nothing significant.  If I were to keep it I would probably pain the car just to make it look really nice but it is not a necessity.  The top on the car is in car is in very good shape with no rips or tears and it does not leak.  The picture shows a spot on the rear bumper but the bumper has since been repainted.  It has brand new tires on it with after market ICW wheels.

Interior:  The interior of the car is in fair to good shape.  It has black cloth interior.  The driver seat has three tears in it so I put the seat cover on it to prevent them from getting worse.  The passenger seat has one small wear spot next to the console that is not very noticeable.  There are no cracks in the dash or door panels.  The carpet is black and is in good shape. 

Electronics:  All the electronics work on the car as they are suppose to.  The only thing that needs to be fixed is the passenger headlight bulb needs to be replaced.  The power windows work as they are suppose to.  All the gauges work and are accurate.  The interior lights all work fine.  It has the factory Mazda CD player that works good with no problems.  The check engine light is on.  I had it checked by Auto Zone and they said it was reading an EGR valve so I did not worry about fixing it.  The previous owner recent replaced the main wire harness on the car.  I just replaced the heater core so it has very hot heat now.  The A/C works but needs a charge.  I was not too worried about that because I drive with the top down anyway. 

Drivetrain:  This is the best part of the car.  It has had a lot of recent work done by the previous owner and myself.  It has a great running 1.8 liter engine that puts out 140HP mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.  It has a brand new performance clutch in it and it shift great.  The previous owner recently rebuilt the top end of the motor.  I am not sure about the bottom end but it holds very good oil pressure and there are no odd sounds.  There is also a new radiator and fuel pump.  I just replaced the passenger front wheel hub.  This car only weighs 2300lbs and it will fly.  There are a lot of curves on the roads around my house and I can take them at 80MPH and it only feels like I am doing 30MPH.  The car is a blast to drive.

Just to give you an overview of all the recent work done to the car:

  1. Top end of engine rebuilt
  2. New performance clutch
  3. New main wire harness
  4. New tires
  5. New front passenger wheel bearing
  6. New fuel pump
  7. New heater core and hoses

The car runs and drives great with no problems.  I am selling it at NO RESERVE.  I do have it for sale or trade locally.  If you have any questions please feel free to email, text, or call Josh at 864-254-8572.

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe

Tue, Mar 8 2016

This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:

Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.
Take a look and let us know what you think in Comments.
