An excellent example of an American Miata in JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) trim. In Japan it is not called a Miata Convertible, it is a Eunos Roadster and is RHD with different badging and trim and colors and seats. I had purchased a Japanese Sales Brochure and a book with great color pictures and set about making my Miata over into a Eunos. After all, several years ago Mazda proudly announced the production of its millionth Miata, takes a bit of imagination to make yours stand out in this.... sea..... of long-lived Miatas.

One road-tester for a car mag called the Miata the "finest MGB that England never made", this was based on the similarities between the two cars: same weight, same CCs of engine, similar length/width/etc. Except the Miata regularly exceeds 200,000 miles as a good functional sports car, (you can find em on Ebay with those miles)....but the MGB ...not  so much...sad, and I used to race an MGB in RMVR, loved em. But lack of reliability, early parts failure and so on doomed the Brits. O well.

The car is strangely optioned, power mirrors and steering with headrest speakers and manual  windows?

   Now there are cheaper Miata-Eunos cars out there but consider:

  NEW in last 17 months: 4 tires, complete clutch SYSTEM (clutch, TO-bearing, P-Plate, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, refurbish flywheel), new top, 4 wheel alignment, new grille, JVC CD and radio, EUNOS bits, inner tie-rods, radiator and A/C condenser and silicone hoses, air-management undertray, brakes, refinishing Daisy wheels with clear lacquer, timing belt/water pump and A/C belt, etc.

Some of the more significant costs: tires=350, clutch System=2100, top=900, align=80, JVC=130, tierods=340, rad=155, condenser=105, hoses=50,timingbelt+pump=515.

    total= $ 4,775. for the big lumps. All the other stuff: Wipers, Eunos Bits, louvers, swapping all the major-fluids and so on...who can keep track? So all the Major Maint and replacing stuff has been done (receipts for all the above go with the car).

     And then I hit a tall Chevy SUV (Slid under his rear bumper)  at 25 miles per hour in the rain....just two weeks ago.

So you can see the pics of the car before, and after with the primer front. I am due to see the new front-bumper cover tomorrow for possible purchase. So I had to replace the hood, passenger side front fender, one headlightr cover, a bumper support bracket and the bumper cover, The marker lights and reflector lights did not get broken because of the slow speed so....all the bits went back on with tasteful mods (see louvers pics). All the lights work well and the car moves down the road straight and smooth. Were it not for the primer you would never know. But now I am at a crossroads, about to move my girlfriend in (yeah, even at age 72 you still have "Relationships") and I own two convertibles, a Eunos-Miata and a Mustang. Gotta sell one so.....both are listed, fate will sell one and I will keep the other. And then her Elantra will sleep inside and there will be peace in the house.. 

   So you can fly in and drive home in a solid reliable car. I will meet you at the airport with a full tank and point you in the right direction.

NOTE: someone sent me an email on a point that I was not clear enough on....The car is completely repaired and I am driving it now MINUS the bumper cover. I am looking at one tomorrow that may/may-not be worth buying?   So the Worst-Case is that you buy a Eunos that is completely drivable to go home in...minus the front bumper cover.   The Best-Case is that you buy a Eunos with the front bumper cover fitted that is completely drivable to go home in. BUT IN EITHER=CASE THE CAR IS IN PRIMER FROM THE WINDSHIELD FORWARD. So it will require paint and I would recommend, for obvious reasons, white. Color is up to you of course. And both fenders have been sanded on the inside and painted with Rustolieum satin black (see pics) so that the car will outlive its brethren without rust. Nothing like being OCD...

NOTE: the S-covers (pictured) were available only in Japan and covered the speakers in the door, who knew the Japanese were into art-deco. You also get all the stock parts that were replaced by Eunos bits: hubcaps, door sills, emblems, etc. As the JDM brochure shows, they were available in Japan with red or blue interiors in addition to the black/tan we got offered and my red console? You also get the  black console with it. See pics. Also have all the front end lights, Marker and Side both. You also get the original Miata cassette player/radio (in the JVC box). In addition I have two more cans of the red flexible spray paint for the doors. And the headlights pop up and shine like always. The grille is Moss Motors new, and the somewhat rare plastic piece that goes across the bottom of the windshield (always cracked) is perfect and hanging on the wall. And I am sure that I have forgotten to list all the extra bits but they will be loaded into the car as I have no use for them if the Eunos sells before the Mustang.

Mazda starts production of new MX-5 Miata in Japan

Thu, Mar 5 2015

We often regard a new model as having arrived when its manufacturer reveals it for the first time. But you might argue that nothing is official until actual production gets underway. And that's just what's happened now with the new Mazda MX-5. The fourth-generation Miata was unveiled a few months ago, and now the first examples have begun to roll off the assembly line at Mazda's Ujina plant in Hiroshima. The first ones are set to stay in Japan, where the new roadster is being introduced initially. Deliveries are set to launch in June. After that, we can expect the new MX-5 to proliferate to markets around the world, including our own. To date Mazda has sold more than 950,000 of its little roadsters, making it the best-selling two-seat sports car in the world. It shouldn't be long, then, before the new model tips it past the million-unit mark. 2015/03/05 Mazda Starts Production of All-new Mazda MX-5 HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda Motor Corporation today began production of the all-new Mazda MX-5 two-seater lightweight sports car (known as Mazda Roadster in Japan) at Ujina Plant No.1 in Hiroshima. The first models produced are destined for the Japanese market. Sales of the all-new MX-5 will begin in Japan around June this year and interested buyers can make an appointment for pre-sale discussions through a dedicated website from noon on Friday, March 20. Following sales start in Japan, the MX-5 will be progressively rolled out to overseas markets. The MX-5 is an iconic model representing Mazda's vehicle engineering philosophy: the pursuit of driving pleasure. With production exceeding 950,000 units as of the end of January 2015, the MX-5 continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the world's best-selling two-seater sports car. In order to respond to ever increasing demands for safety features and environmental performance while maintaining the element of fun that has always defined the model, development of the fourth generation MX-5 was carried out under the motto "innovate in order to preserve". In addition to incorporating SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and KODO-Soul of Motion design, development focused on enhancing the senses and sensations through which people enjoy cars. Moving forward, Mazda will continue to enrich the lives of its customers through a variety of touch points including the production of high-quality vehicles, and become a brand that maintains a special bond with its customers.

Weekly Recap: Diesel scandal continues to fuel VW's woes

Sat, Oct 3 2015

Volkswagen's woes continued this week when it was delisted from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and stripped of awards. Senators are also lining up to advocate for criminal and civil action against the automaker, and its consumer reputation is in tatters. Put simply, it's been another rough period for VW. Despite this, the company eked out a sales gain of less than one percent in September, though that was well behind the overall market's performance. Sister brand Audi, which sells a diesel A3, was less affected, posting a 16-percent gain in September. Revelations that Volkswagen rigged millions of diesel-powered cars around the world didn't surface until September 18, so the full sales impact of the ongoing scandal won't likely be felt until October. Meanwhile, VW's image continues to take a beating, and an AutoPacific survey found only one in 14 vehicle owners have a positive opinion of the company. Before the scandal broke, three-quarters of respondents had a positive view of VW. The survey also found 64 percent don't trust Volkswagen, though the same number believe other companies are or may also be using cheating devices to pass emissions tests. "The reputation of diesels has been severely damaged, at least for the short term," Ed Kim, AutoPacific's vice president of industry analysis, said in a statement. Despite the lingering malaise, experts believe VW will recover, just as Toyota and General Motors eventually emerged from their own high-profile controversies. "Consumers have proven through numerous recalls that they are resilient and quickly return to their buying habits," Kim said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Mazda to reveal sports car concept in Tokyo Mazda will bring a curvy sports car concept to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The automaker is being especially coy with the details, only releasing the dark teaser shot that you see to the right and a cryptic statement that suggests the concept "condense[s] Mazda's entire history of sports-car development into a single model." Immediately, speculation abounded this is an RX-7 and RX-8 successor, though Mazda didn't specify what engine the concept will have. Reportedly, the company is still working on rotary engines. Mazda will have a Cosmo Sport 110S on its stand in Tokyo, which pioneered rotary technology in 1967. Read into that what you will.
