I'm selling my 1993 Mazda Miata to help fund a different toy, it's been a blast to drive and I'll certainly buy another one in the future but right now I have my eye on something else. I'll try to cover everything that I can think of but if you have any question at all please send me a message through eBay I'll respond as quickly as possible, thanks.
Brief Description:
- 1993 Mazda Miata, 1.6L 4cyl, Manual Transmission - gets around 30 MPG, depending on how you drive. A tank of gas would easily last me all summer in the car, but I don't use it as a daily driver.
- Body Style is the 'NA', which ran until around 1997 I believe - by far the most popular Miata body
- Paint Color Code is SU (Sunburst Red)
- Brand new top has been professionally installed
- Paint is in very good condition, nice deep gloss to it. It's probably been painted at some point, I've never seen a 1993 with this much shine to it 20 years later. Please do not be misled though, it does have some typical paint flaws such as pebble chips and small dings here and there. I just want to be clear that the paint is not faded or oxidized like most of the other Miatas of this year.
- Interior is in average to above-average condition; the carpet is in reasonably good shape, seats are also in good shape - no rips/cuts/snags in the seats (headrests have speakers in them)
- Instrument cluster is in good shape, no broken/busted up plastic. Front dash has a crack that be clearly seen in my pictures, it could easily be replaced but I never felt like messing with it.
- Steering wheel is certainly not my taste, but I'm not going to try and rip it apart to put it back to factory
- Air Conditioning blows nice and cold
- Power mirrors and power windows work as they should
- New Pioneer Head Unit was installed - I've yet to figure out how to use it though
- Goodyear Eagle GT (195/55R15) Tires have less than a 1,000 miles on them, very good condition
- Rims are Kazera KZ-M - they fit nicely on Miatas and give a little bit wider stance
- Brakes are in good shape; rotors are slotted & drilled, calipers are color-matched red
- Exhaust system was replaced before I bought the car; I'm not a fan of after-market exhaust systems but the old system was probably getting past it's day with this many miles on the car
- Clutch has been replaced along with shifter rod - shifts much smoother and has a much shorter throw
- Power Steering pump and lines have been replaced
- Coolant hoses have been replaced, had a slow leak so just replaced all of them
- Front glass does have a rock chip in it - been there for a while actually (see pic.s). Has not grown and shouldn't spread, but thought I should mention that.
I can help the buyer with the shipping details if you're new to the process; it's fairly painless and I've done it so I can help you out if you need it.

2014 Mazda6: Winter's End Update
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The Winter Without End is seemingly dead. Outside my office windows, my brown and yellow lawn is fully exposed to the increasingly powerful sunshine, the morning birdsong is louder than anything until the garbage trucks start rolling, and I'm seriously considering having the summer tires put back on my personal fleet. That last one is a little scary, as I'm a firm believer in the April Snow Jinx, but you get the idea.
The long-term Mazda6 has also long since left my driveway. Looking back on my notes from the time it was in my charge, however, I see all remarks are dominated by one highlighted section at the top: "worst winter drive of all time." I hardly need the reminder, to be honest. Here's what happened.
When the Mazda showed up at my door, we'd already fitted the thing with its new winter rubber: Bridgestone Blizzaks. Plunking down for dedicated snow tires was a near necessity this year - as it almost always is in Michigan. We didn't see much reprieve from snow-choked, iced over roads here in Ann Arbor, and the knobbier rubber proved invaluable in getting me out of my house time and again.
Electric Miata smokes Tesla Model S at the track
Wed, Jul 9 2014Yes, folks, you read that headline right. A souped up battery-electric version of a Mazda Miata took down a Tesla Model S on a quarter-mile drag strip. And it wasn't even close. Road Test TV was kind enough to post a video of a forest-green Miata (and its very stoked driver) doing a quarter-mile run in a rather brisk 9.27 seconds, beating the Model S sedan by a whopping 3.5 seconds in the process. And the Mazda crossed the finish line moving at 142 miles per hour, or 40 miles per hour faster than the Tesla was going when it finished the race. It's a good thing for the Tesla owner that they weren't racing for pink slips. Granted, the comparison is probably an unfair one because the Tesla was a stock, production vehicle (the P85 Performance model, but still), whereas who knows how the Miata was juiced up and how much cash it took to do the job. It's sort of like putting, say, an automotive writer against Usain Bolt because we ate the same breakfast and share 99 percent of our DNA. Still, the video does lend a certain credence to the idea that a battery-electric, super-light, rear-wheel-drive Miata would be a lot of fun, or at least a heck of lot more fun than any other Mazda out there. We're just sayin'. Check out the 100-second video below, and remember not to blink. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Mazda RX-3 restomod makes Leno scream, us cheer
Tue, Aug 25 2015The Mazda RX-3 Savanna was the rotary-engined version of the Mazda 808 Grand Familia. Sold in the US from 1971 to 1978, the little Japanese fastback earned a reputation as an excellent racecar, winning events all over the world. A racing connection is how a fantastic 1973 restomod example owned by Savant Young made its way to Jay Leno's Garage. Young said that when he was a boy his uncle used to street race an RX-3, and Young liked how the RX-3 sounded and the fact that a tiny import could go up against and beat big V8s of the time. Leno admitted that he has no connection to the RX-3, saying it's not the kind of car he typically likes. But he liked Young's custom update so much that when he saw the coupe sitting outside the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, he waited for the owner to show up. Young's changes over the 15 years he's owned the car include dropping in the rotary engine and running gear from the second-generation Mazda RX-7, bridge-ported and methane injected. At 15 pounds of boost he says it's putting out about 400 horsepower. The rear end comes from a Toyota Hilux half-ton pickup, to help put all that power down in a car that weighs maybe 2,100 pounds. The color is taken from the Lamborghini palette. Disc brakes all around, 14-inchers up front, control the velocity. Nothing controls the gas mileage, said to be "maybe 12 mpg." And nothing could stop Leno from whooping it up during the driver. Check out the fun in the video above.
