Olive Branch, Mississippi, United States

This terrific 2001 Mazda Miata has been garaged, cared for, and has just the right upgrades making it, in my opinion, the perfect Miata.  If you want a Miata that has all of the goodies and none of the abuse, this is the car that you have been looking for. Highlights include:

++ Original paint, body, and leather (always garaged)
++ $550 Brand new Dunlop tires with less than 2k on them
++  $3,195 S1 Bell Engineering Turbo System (not including installation + $1,800) – Arguably the best, no fuss, conservatively tuned turbo for Miata with lots of upside potential for the enthusiast.
++  $602 Racing Beat high performance exhaust recommended by Bell Engineering
++ $1,600 SSR Gun Metal Grey aluminum racing rims
++ $275 JVC Bluetooth Deck wired into OEM Bose Speakers
++ $200 Chrome double hoop roll bar
++ High performance clutch, engine bay strut bar, & billet (parking brake, shift knob/set, gas-fill)

A simple roll-up of just the major value add enhancements (not including installation) is:
$6,422

Kelly Blue Book for this Mazda without aforementioned enhancements is $7,197

Asking price: $8,500

This vehicle has the OEM ECU allowing it to pass smog and emissions without any issue whatsoever. The S1 Turbo brings just the right amount of power and daily driving characteristics that BEGI is known for. The stock Miata comes with 142 HP and the S1 in its current conservative configuration adds another 50 HP (or 35%) bringing this little roadster to life.  I have never found the need, but according to Bell Engineering, the S1 turbo is capable of producing 230 – 280 HP with an upgraded ECU.  See the link below for details. The build out for this car was done by Bell Engineering in central Texas. This car has spent its life in Austin Texas until our recent move to the Memphis TN area.

This car has 2 flaws and is otherwise impeccable. The flaws are:

1. A small tear in the convertible top at the bottom right hand corner of rear window (see pics).
2. A small tear in the passenger seat also shown in the pics.  

Outside of the two aforementioned flaws, this is an amazing roadster - one that has never seen abuse and is very well cared for.  Our growing family and newly adopted Mastiff requires for me to part with this fine Mazda. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Translogic 182: CXC Motion Pro II Racing Simulator

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Translogic gets some seat time in the CXC Motion Pro II to test if the high fidelity racing simulator can impact our host's real-life track times. Host Jonathon Buckley hits the track at Auto Club Speedway of California in a 2015 BMW M4 to put down a baseline lap time before his virtual training session in the Motion Pro II. After learning the lines of the track in a simulated setting, Jonathon returns to the track to put his skills to the test. "We designed it, originally, as a professional training tool for race car drivers," says CXC Simulation's founder and president Chris Considine. "Make it authentic. Make it real." The Motion Pro II boasts "thousands of cars and track models," ranging from street cars, to rally and off-road vehicles. Will this hyper realistic racing simulator help Jonathon improve his lap time?

Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform

Fri, 31 May 2013

Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.

Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.
