Tons of videos of this car being autocrossed.  You can hear the squeeking in the videos.

Car is squeaky because of the heim joints, car is very stiff because of the springs.  The squeeky suspension is constant...  This was first and formost an autocross car.  It was very fast and needs some work to be autocrossed again. It runs it starts, I drive it around no problem. Has a small dent in the right rear quarter, was there when I bought it.  Car will fit 275 Hoosier A6's with suspension and wheel opening mods that have been done. Has thousands of dollars in parts on it as a parts car and if someone wants to spend I little time on, it out can be really fast again.  I don't have a garage or time right now so it's time for it to go. Most of the interior has been ripped out and don't have any of it. It's not pretty and it is what it is.  I figure someone will want to strip it for parts to put on another Miata or do some work and have fun with it again.  I bought the car with 95K had all the mods done and hardly drove it other than autocross. Anyone interested in this car should car and chat with me, I'll tell you all about it in full detail as I want no surprises and the buyer to understand what I know about the car.  I have prefect feedback and intend to keep it that way.

 

As for how it runs:

 

1)  After it has been running a while it idles fast but tap the pedal and it goes down to idle no problem.  I figure that's the idle control valve but not sure.

 

2)  At the autocross after a couple of runs it shuts down to idle. After the cars cools it's fine. Driving on the street it doesn't do it as you can't drive it that hard on the street.  I have a couple ideas on what it is but don't have time to work on it. To me, it needs better cooling and a better air intake.  But again I have no proof so it is here as is and expect to do some work if you want to drive it hard.  On the street the blower kicks in fine, is fast, sounds great, although it's not that comfortable with the really stiff suspension.

 

3) It is not pretty, is definitely a 50 footer. There is small scratches and dings, the dent as shown in the picture.  The pictures look better than in person but again from a little ways away it looks pretty good. The seats are very light and fiberglass, seat covers are faded but no rips and can be replaced.

 

4) Dash lights arn't working noticed tonight, haven't driven it at night in a while (will check the fuse).

 

 

I have a spare parts and things not included, will put them up on ebay after this auction ends.  A low miles 5 speed tranny, 15X9" wheels for race rubber and a fresh Rubella Stage II head, that has been ported, bigger exhaust valves and a small lift cam that fit this car but don't come with it. Engine would make more power and run cooler with this head...  If I had time...

New Mazda CX-4 teaser shots emerge ahead of Beijing debut

Wed, Apr 6 2016

The Kodo styling language seen on last year's Koeru concept seems to translate well to a production car, judging by these teaser images of the upcoming CX-4 from Mazda's Chinese press site. And, as has been seen on several recent Mazdas, concept cars can be quite close to their eventual production versions. An earlier press release implies the CX-4 should be seen as a more coupe-like counterpart to the CX-5, with some of the MX-5's characteristic and often emphasized jinba ittai feel injected into it – if the MX-5 is all about the rider and horse being one, the CX-4 would just be a slightly bigger steed. The 19-inch wheels and LED headlights are some of the more attention-grabbing details on the car. Inside, there's a head-up-display and a MZD connect infotainment screen as seen on other current models. The hardware on the "Exploring-Coupe SUV", as Mazda call it, should match the CX-5: 2.2-liter SKYACTIV-D turbodiesels in some markets, 2.0 and 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G gasoline engines in most. There will also be a choice of front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. The Beijing Motor Show opens to the public on April 29th, so we won't have to wait a whole lot longer to see the whole thing.

Mazda3 to showcase CNG, Hybrid versions in Tokyo

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Mazda has made huge gains in its competitive set with the introduction of its Skyactiv technologies, and the Japanese automaker appears to have no plans on slowing down. While we're still waiting for the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D diesel to go on sale in the US, Mazda announced that it will debut new Skyactiv-Hybrid and Skyactiv-CNG versions of the Mazda3 (standard US-spec model shown above) at next month's Tokyo Motor Show.
Matching up with what we heard earlier in the summer, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid is intended for Japan only, but there are no details about this system regarding fuel economy, electric components or specs. Likewise, there are no details for the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept, which is a bi-fuel version of the car running on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. As this car's name suggests, the CNG model is a concept vehicle, and there is no indication that Mazda plans offering such a model here in the US.
In addition to these two vehicles, Mazda will also have an Atenza (Mazda6) on display showing off some vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety systems, called the ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle). Scroll down for Mazda's official press release.

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.
