2007 Miata with a Moss Supercharger, Hard Dog Roll Bar, Koni Adjustable Sport Shocks, Progress Tech Springs, Sway bars front and rear
Silver Grey – Black Leather, 6 speed, Bose stereo 6 CD changer w/ SAT and Media.   I think it is the Grand Touring 
Salvage Title, it was hit on the left. 
About 53,000 mi  – not a daily driver but being driven and always garaged.   
It is not smogable in California.  It easily passes the sniffer test but the Moss supercharger kit is not CARB - Calif legal.
It is very fast but I want a dedicated autox car so I am building a new one and I need to sell this to pay for it.
The paint and interior are very good,  however there are a few small spots, dings and chips, it is a used car with 53k miles.  
 
You can talk to Rocky @ Rock's Miatamotive in San Diego, he did the work and maintenance for the original owner including installing the supercharger. He checked the car before I bought it and has done all the work for me.  It is for sale on his website also.  Please call him only if you are very serious about buying the car,  he is self employed and his time is money.  thanks

The Moss Supercharger was installed at about 42k mi by Rocky for the previous owner.  
It has about 215 hp and 170 ft lbs tq @ 5 psi,  at the flywheel.

It has Power Cards to adjust the timing and richen the fuel for the super charger.  They work ok but need to be checked regularly,  if they get out of adjustment the car will hesitate slightly under acceleration.
Brian Goodwin, Goodwin Racing who I autox with, says that another 20 hp could be gotten with an ECU reflash that would eliminate the Power cards and smooth the power band a bit.  He has the same supercharger on his race car and says it is very reliable,( Moss had a guarantee for 100k mi to the original owner ).   

The supercharger kit cost about $ 2.500 and about $ 1000 to install, Rocky figured a way to keep the oil cooler, many have been installed with it bypassed.
  
I put Koni adjustable shocks, Progress Tech springs, Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Set F & R and a Hard Dog M3 Sport Roll Bar and had the fenders rolled and pulled for the street and autox tires. 

I autoxed it 3 times, it does very well it has plenty of power and can spin the Nito NT01's very easily in 1 st 2 nd and 3rd.  The handling is very neutral and it really goes.
Stuff replaced – power steering pump, left tie rod and end, metal supercharger intake gasket the old one was paper, new pre cat.  


Street Tires and Wheels 7 x 17" MB  7 spoke wheels, silver w/ Hankook 235 x 50  Ventus V12  
Autox tires and Wheels  255 x 40 ZR 17 Nito NT01 DOT slicks on 9 x 17" TR Motorsport wheels.   
This car looks great rides beautifully and is a Very Fast high performance car, still very controllable and handles amazingly well, point it where you want it to go, it is there.  
$ 14,500 obo  
Please contact me with any questions
thanks  Happy bidding

Mazda3 diesel under consideration for US, hybrid not so much

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's been a long time coming, but we finally clapped our eyes on the real deal, officially official 2014 Mazda3 in hatchback form yesterday. Yet there's a lot more to learn about this next-generation version of what has always been one of our favorite compacts. We know that the US version will come with one of two Skyactiv engines, but what about alternatives? Will there be any... or will the gasoline-fed four-cylinders be powerful and frugal enough to carry the day?
According to Automotive News, the answer is a definite maybe. Mazda North America CEO Jim O'Sullivan has told the trade publication that his employer will consider adding the company's well-liked 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel powerplant to the model down the road. However, the company first wants to see how the engine fares with American consumers in its big-brother Mazda6 sedan, a model that goes on sale later this year. As for a potential Mazdaspeed3 successor, mum is still the word.
Anything else? Uncharacteristically, Mazda will build a hybrid model of its new 3. We say "uncharacteristically," because the Japanese independent has long shied away from gas-electric powertrain tech. In fact, it's gone so far as to boldly announce its aversion to the technology, with auto show banners proclaiming "Not Electric. Not Hybrid. Not A Drag To Drive." Despite all that, this new generation of Mazda3 will in fact be the company's first full hybrid production model. According to AN, however, O'Sullivan says that the company has "no plans" to sell it in the US.

So, just how different are the Fiat 124 Spider and Mazda MX-5 Miata?

Wed, Nov 18 2015

"We leveraged a great platform." That's how Bob Broderdorf, Jr., Fiat's North American director, summarizes the creation of the 124 Spider. We all know Fiat's new roadster shares its underpinnings with the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, but there are a lot of key differences to keep them separate in the eyes of consumers. Mazda may have engineered the platform, but Fiat added many of its own touches. Here, we'll take a closer look at the spec sheets of the two cars, and summarize the major differences between the Japanese and Italian roadsters. If you need a refresher, read our full First Drive of the 2016 MX-5 Miata, and glance at all the Fiat 124 Spider details in this post. Design Fiat Chrysler design lead Ralph Gilles is super excited about this car. "I think it's going to change lives," he told the assembled media at an event in Auburn Hills, MI, earlier this month. Yes, it's definitely exciting to add a small roadster to any lineup, especially one that uses such a proven platform. But we're not sure people are going to get all that jazzed about it from a design standpoint. You'll either love it or hate it, and we're kind of leaning toward the latter. Every single body panel is new, and the design is "100 percent Italian." There are a number of creases and angles throughout the exterior, with a squared-off rear end and rectangular taillamps. Fiat trusts you'll be able to spot the similarities between the new 124 Spider and the original, but we're not so sure. We can see a bit of the old car's grille on the new car's face, and the dual hood blisters are a nice throwback touch, but that's about it. Trust us when we say that this car looks way better in photos. In person, it really didn't wow us. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One colleague told us his wife, a long-time Miata owner, hates the look of the new one but will absolutely adore the Fiat. Good for her, and good for Fiat. But based on design alone, we'll take the Mazda every single time. What about you? Dimensions When Broderdorf said Fiat leveraged the Miata's platform, that means the Italians took it as-is. The two cars ride on an identical, 90.9-inch wheelbase. The front and rear tracks lengths are the same, at 58.9 and 59.1 inches, respectively. But that's where the similarities end.

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.
