History:

I purchased it in the fall of 2000 from a seller in Tennessee.  Within a year, the engine blew (tip seal) at the track, around 92k miles.  Over the following winter the engine was rebuilt… The intake was ported, lightweight flywheel installed, new stock turbos, racing beat exhaust, custom air intake, Power FC fuel computer and commander installed.  The Power FC was tuned by Steve Kan (www.kantuning.com).  My goal for the rebuild was to make it rock solid, reliable, and fast.  From 2001-2005 I put approximately 25k miles on the vehicle and the new engine taking it to few different tracks and on road trips.   There is also a bullet cam installed on the front lip and wired up through the glove box with RCA inputs.  Its been in storage since 2005 basically because I had kids and don’t really have time for it.  I start it 2x a year and drive it for couple hours, and it always cranks right up and does not smoke.  I have always changed the oil every 2000 miles and the engine and turbos are both very strong.  I am including a lot of extras which I collected over the years….extra set of stock turbos and other  miscellaneous parts and useful tools and other goodies. 

Exterior: 

The exterior is in good shape.  No dents, dings, etc.  Paint is chipped in a couple places and has been touched up with touch up paint.  I have a custom cut headlight cover intake to feed cold air into the engine intake, but I still have the original headlight cover in case you want to switch back.  The taillights have been modified for ’99 spec

(http://www.rotaryaddicts.com/?page_id=446). 

Interior:

The interior is in fair shape.  The seats are actually leather seats from a touring  series (not the original Cloth R1 seats).  The power window switch on the passenger side doesn’t work, but it can be rolled down from the driver side switch which has both. 

Under the Hood:

I’ve focused all my energy, time, and resources on the under-hood aspect of the car so it would be as fast and reliable as possible.  It is extremely reliable and engine is rebuilt very strong (when Steve Kan was tuning it he remarked at how well it pulled at high speeds).  I can’t possibly sell the car at a price to get back the investment I’ve put into these performance parts, so my loss is your gain.  The parts listed below are all installed on the car.  In total over $5000 worth of upgrades.  Please note, the air conditioning and power steering has been removed.  It can be reinstalled, but I preferred the steering feel (more responsive, and the car is already so light you don't even notice the missing p/s except for slightly heavier efforts at parking lot speeds) and the stock A/C system was terrible anyway.  Removing both of these lightened the car and gave the engine more power and made it more reliable.

Fiat 124 Coupe could join Spider line next year

Wed, Aug 24 2016

While Mazda's content to tease coupe lovers with the last-gen MX-5 Power Retractable Hardtop and the upcoming RF, the company is loath to offer a version of its lovable roadster with a permanent hardtop. But Fiat isn't so fickle. According to Autocar, the Italian brand could unveil a proper hardtop Fiata as early as next year. Likely called the 124 Coupe – duh – Autocar reports the addition of a fixed roof will spice up the current Spider. But what kind of spice is more difficult to predict. AC reports that FCA could stay the course, offering the new hardtop with the same powertrain lineup as the Spider – 138 horsepower in the UK and 160 hp (164 hp in Abarth trim) in the US – or drive the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder higher. As for how the car will look, Autocar points to the handsome 124 Abarth Rally Concept from the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Don't expect integrated rally lights or a standard yellow-on-red paint scheme, but the new model will likely borrow that concept's roofline – more notchback than the MX-5 RF's fastback-like look. That'd fit with the 124 Coupe's ancestors, which wore a traditional notchback roofline. Fiat offered a 124 hardtop between 1967 and 1975, giving a new hardtop Fiata much more historical precedence than a comparable MX-5. AC reports the new 124 Coupe will likely carry a 10-percent premium across the pond, with a similar increase in the US. But predicting the impact of that price hike is a little bit trickier than multiplying the 124 Spider's price by 1.1, since we don't know what trims the Coupe will come in. The Abarth is likely a shoe-in, starting around $31,000. If, and it's a big if, Fiat sells a 124 Coupe Classica, expect a $27,500 starting price, while a hardtop Lusso would be a smidge over $30,000.

Mazda Miata celebrates 25 years of rocking our worlds

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

For its birthday it hasn't been profiled on 60 Minutes or been to Jay Leno's Garage, doesn't go on a retrospective tour of vintage racetracks or get a special Spyder Zagato edition. That doesn't mean we think any less of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the roadster with a simplicity that was as enjoyable as it was barely believable when it arrived in 1989. A quarter of a century and three generations later, the Miata remains the go-to roadster when you want easy, balanced and economical thrills.
It grew from a 116-horsepower speedster with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 2,116 pounds, to a 167-hp go-kart with a five-speed manual coming in at 2,480 pounds (in Sport guise). Along the way it's picked up hundreds of awards, including 14 nods on Car and Driver's "10Best" list, its most recent eight-year streak coming to an end last year, the Guinness Book of World Records title as "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" and innumerable trophies as weekend racer extraordinaire.
We'll see the fourth generation at next year's Chicago Auto Show, and we're certain to hear more about its 25-year milestone this year. Until that happens, enjoy the images above and the gallery and press release below.

Mazda CX-3 crossover coming to LA

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The Mazda booth at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will showcase some new crossovers. In addition to the refreshed CX-5 that we're expecting, the Japanese automaker has announced plans to unveil its new CX-3 compact crossover.
According to Mazda, the brand's entry into the compact CUV market will feature "the full range of SKYACTIV technology and KODO - Soul of Motion design." We take that to mean lightweight chassis and body architectures along with fuel-sipping gasoline and, perhaps, diesel engines.
The CX-3 will have to take on a slew of upcoming competitors, including the Honda HR-V, Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade, and reports indicate it will share a platform with the Mazda2, which is just starting production in Mexico. We don't yet know if it will be front-wheel drive only or if all-wheel drive will be optional. The CUV is also likely to share the Mazda2's engine, which isn't yet revealed for the North American market. Japan gets the 2 with either a 1.3-liter gasoline engine or a 1.5-liter diesel.
