- First owner, engine well maintained, synthetic Mobile 1, Royal Purple every 3k miles

- Interior - Immaculate.  Although faded, still has the part number stickers from when first bought the vehicle.  Detailed every weekend.   Everything works; A/C, heater, fans,  Bose stereo…etc.  All stock and never modified.  The passenger side auto lock sometimes won't lock when you press the keyless entry.  It will lock manually.  Might be a lose wire somewhere, but haven't checked since its not a big deal for me. 

- Exterior – There are a few dings on the passenger side.  I was quoted about $250 to remove the dents via paintless dent removal, but never got around to doing it.  The front and rear lips are removed, but I have them.  The front lip is repainted and needs some buffing in certain areas.  The rear lip is fine, but just removed since I replaced the rear bumper cover. 

- Engine – Only 80,000 miles!  Completely stock besides a K&N intake air filter.  This car is from California, so SMOG paperwork is up to date.  You shouldn’t have any problem passing SMOG in the future.   All fluids and filters has been changed on a regular maintenance basis by ME; Redline Transmission oil and WIX fuel filter was just replaced, so you should be good for another 50k miles or so.  OEM Denso spark plugs never been changed, so I might change them or just check them.  I heard these should last 100k miles so I never changed them as everything runs perfectly fine.

- Suspension - Zeal Function X coilovers (Street)  - 6 way adjustable.   I just spent $700 on rebuilding the rear coilovers, so they’re literally brand new since the original parts were rusted and locked together, so I had to buy new piece parts.  THE PICTURE SHOWS WORK NEZART 16 X 7 WHEELS, BUT YOU WILL NOT GET THOSE UNLESS YOU PAY $1,000 EXTRA.  Stock Racing Hart wheels and brand new Toyo tires will come with the car.  I DO NOT have the OEM Bilstein shocks/springs combo.  I have since raised the car and did a full alignment, so the car does not sit as low.  Much more convenient to drive through speed bumps and daily commute.  What I replaced is much better than stock.

I'd like to sell this car w/ everything described, AS IS, but due to the circumstances, I’m willing to hear all offers.  Additional pictures upon request.


Buyer please be responsible for shipping or any type of delivery service AND payment.  I'm currently located in L.A area!


Happy Bidding!

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.

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.

Takata airbag recall spreads to China with 42k Mazda sedans

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

The scope of the problem with the faulty airbag inflators from Takata continues to broaden and is now reaching China, as well. Mazda is recalling 42,732 Mazda6 units there, produced by its local joint venture partner China FAW Car Company, to replace the front passenger airbags. It comes as part of Mazda's recall of nearly 160,000 vehicles worldwide, including about 34,600 in the US, according to Reuters.
This is the same problem that caused seven automakers in the US to recall an estimated 2.1 million vehicles in late June. The airbag inflators can potentially explode instead of deploying the airbag, which hampers the bag's inflation. In some cases occupants are also hit by the metal shrapnel, which can cause further injuries. In the US, Mazda is repairing the 2003-2007 Mazda6 (pictured above), 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6, 2004 MPV and 2004-2008 RX-8 originally sold in or currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.
This is hardly the first instance of this issue. Since 2001, there have been 20 recalls tied to the exploding airbags supplied by Takata. The problem is possibly linked to the propellant in the inflators, but there's no conclusive evidence of that yet. Most of the automakers in the US limited the most recent recalls only to a few humid states because moisture potentially exacerbated the problem.
