2004 Mazda RX8 with 40,204 miles. One owner, non-smoker, garage kept. This car began its life as a High Output 6 speed edition RX8. The original motor lost compression around 30,000 miles and eventually would no longer run. We pulled the motor and opted to swap in a JDM 1jz-gte twin turbo engine and transmission from a Toyota Supra. The engine is stock internally. The only upgrade is a large front mount intercooler. The engine has never had the boost turned up above stock. There is no boost controller installed on the car. It is completely stock. On stock boost the car dyno'd 300rwhp. All of the accessories such as A/C, Power Steering, ABS, etc are in perfect working order and have been fully integrated into the new drivetrain. The stock gauge cluster has been integrated to the 1jzgte and all gauges function normally. The interior is completely stock except for the TRD shifter for the Toyota transmission. The car's exterior is 99.9% blemish free. There are a few tiny chips in the paint from rocks. The engine uses all Toyota stock parts and accessories so it is very easy to get parts for. The transmission is completely stock Toyota. The driveshaft was custom made by B&M Driveshaft. On May-06-14 at 18:14:21 PDT, seller added the following information: *Update* The A/C was not blowing cold today. Upon further inspection we found the A/C compressor will need replaced. A new compressor runs $300 and installation will take less than an hour. It is very easily accessible from underneath. Please take this into consideration when bidding. I don't want anyone to feel they were misled in purchasing this car so I am adding a few details that I think might make a difference to some potential buyers: 1) The shifter feels vauge. It has a cheap ebay short shifter installed and you get what you pay for. I would personally replace it with a higher quality unit. 2) The windshield washer resevoir was removed to make room for the 1jz swap and was never reinstalled. You would need to source a small one such as a Suzuki unit if you wanted to have functioning windshield washers again. 3) The cruise control doesn't function because the original engine was drive by wire and the new engine is conventional cable type. 4) The engine, transmission, and rear differential are semi-solid mounted so there is quite a bit of driveline noise induced into the cabin. It is typical of high performance street/track cars but some people might be put off by it. 5) The stage 1 electric fan is wired to turn on when the ECU relay is energized so it runs from the time the key is on until 10 seconds after the key is off. The stage 2 fan is ECU controlled. 6) Due to the location of the return fuel line the was added to the fuel sending unit, the fuel gauge will show 1/4 tank of fuel when in fact it is nearly empty. If it gets to 1/8th tank you will likely run out of gas. Again, the car is very reliable and I personally would drive it daily. I just want people to understand this is a customized car and while all of the major bugs have been worked out it still has its quirks. |

Mazda MX-5 breeds upgraded Roadster RS in Japan
Mon, Oct 5 2015Fans of the new Mazda MX-5 Miata looking for something a little more performance-focused may be enticed by the new RS model. Unfortunately they'll have to go all the way to Japan to get it. Because Mazda will only be offering this particular version back home. The new RS version of the Mazda Roadster (as it's known in Japan) features a number of performance upgrades, although none of them specifically affect the engine or its output. The Roadster RS features Bilstein dampers and front suspension tower brace for better handling, along with bigger brakes for added stopping power, a retuned steering rack for sharper turn-in, and upgraded exhaust for a better sound. Inside it's also been treated to heated Recaro seats with Nappa leather and Alcantara trim and a nine-speaker Bose audio system. It also comes equipped with adaptive front lighting and high-beam control as well as lane-departure and blind-spot warning systems. Feeling left out yet? Don't be too disappointed, or book that ticket to Tokyo's Natita International Airport just yet. The Mazda Roadster RS only comes with the smaller 1.5-liter engine that produces 129 horsepower, which is significantly less than the 2.0L we get here at 155 hp. It does, however, come with the six-speed manual instead of the automatic. So while this may not be the most powerful version of the Miata, it may be the enthusiast favorite – at least in the JDM.

Graffiti artist Banksy turns Mazda Protege into warfare commentary
Wed, 16 Oct 2013British street artist Banksy, who currently resides in New York City for its high pedestrian traffic and plentiful hiding spots, recently took his stencils and spray cans to a truck trailer and an old Mazda to make a commentary about war, according to a video report by Newsy.
Part of the canvas, a late-1990s Mazda Protege, is a sub-$3,000 used car at best, but we're sure having Banksy's art sprayed onto it has greatly increased its value, as it did to a piece at a Former Packard plant in Detroit a few years ago. The same goes for the trailer, which looks like it would be right at home attached to a U-Haul rental truck.
The graffito, painted in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was accompanied by a link to some disturbing audio from a controversial 2007 military video leaked by Wikileaks in 2010. Head on below to watch the video report, and be sure to visit Banksy's website if you want to see the painting with the audio (listener discretion advised).
A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673
Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.
