I recently had purchased this car off a previous owner. I inspected the vehicle before hand and found several issues and after purchase I replaced and repaired everything that needed to be replaced or repaired. It was a project car and now its up and running to its former glory, minus a few superficial cosmetic details.

Things Replaced And Installed:

-Newly Rebuilt Engine installed 3000 miles ago.
-New Spark Plugs 3000 Miles ago
-New Motor mounts 3000 Miles ago
-New Stage 1 sport clutch 3000 miles ago
-New bluetooth connectivity 5500 Miles ago
-New battery 4000 miles ago
-New Yokohama wide print tires 35 miles ago

Things that make the car appealing:

-50/50 slip differential. The ultimate in balance in front and rear end.
-Rear wheel drive. You can feel the take off and quick response. Great base for drift Mods.
-Rotary engine. The Rx-8 Can perform at high (8500-9000) RPMs.
-4 door coupe.(somehow they did it.) The two back doors are suicide doors.
-Front Fog lights and Xenon Headlights
-Its the Touring Package- Bose Audio, Automatic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
-Ipod direct connection. Control Ipod from steering wheel controls
-18" Aluminum Alloy wheels
-CD Player with AM/FM Radio
-Slotted Disc brakes
- 238 hp

There is very minor cosmetic things that still need to be done:

-The sunroof doesn't work.
-The driver side visor needs to be replaced. It cracked. All the housing(screws and screw holes) is still intact.
-The paint has very minor chips from the road. 
-The driver and passenger side window tint still need to be redone.
-The drivers seat needs to be reupholstered.
-Both brake Lights are cracked but both still work.

Overall the important performance parts of the car have been replaced or fixed. I plan on selling this vehicle mainly because of my insurance payment and I cant seem to stop speeding. I am also trying to get into a more family friendly vehicle since I just started a family.
I'm also including an extra stock catalytic converter that is more emissions friendly since the sport one that I currently have equipped would not pass emissions in more stricter states such as CA.

Watch a high-speed chase from a motorcycle-mounted officer's point of view

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

Riding a motorcycle through high traffic can be a stressful experience. And we don't even want to imagine what it's like to have to actually pursue someone on a motorcycle. Fortunately, we don't have to. Officer Troy Gurley of the Florence, Alabama police force recently attempted to stop a vehicle for traffic violations. The driver, 24-year-old Justin Sanders, figured he could use his Mazda3 to outrun the bike cop. Turns out, not so much.
Gurley pursued Sanders for nearly five minutes as the Mazda driver ran stop signs, swerved through traffic and raced through residential neighborhoods, but the perpetrator couldn't shake the tenacious and experienced rider. Other units soon joined the pursuit, and Sanders thought it best to leave the protection of his car to attempt to flee on foot. From there, it didn't take officers long to apprehend him. You can watch the video below for yourself.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in motion for the first time

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

By now, you've already poured over the details (however few there may be) and images of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. For us enthusiasts, it's arguably the most important new car debut of the year, and for Mazda, it marks the 25th anniversary of its iconic roadster - something that's being celebrated all weekend long out in Monterey, CA.
Our resident Miata owner, Chris Paukert, is out in sunny California and just passed along this video, showing all four generations of the MX-5 in motion (slowly), on the road at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This is the first time the 2016 MX-5 has been shown driving under its own power, and it will join a wealth of other roadsters as Mazda attempts to break the world record for most Miatas in one place at one time.
Have a look at the emailed-from-an-iPhone-quality video above, and then take a moment to read Paukert's own notes from the ND Miata's live showing earlier this week, here.

2014 Mazda3 configurator zoom-zooms to life

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The 2014 Mazda3 is probably going to be on a lot of shopping lists, thanks to its striking good looks, clean interior treatment, fuel economy and driving character. If it happens to be on your personal list of new cars to test, you'll be happy to see that the configurator for Mazda's newest product has officially gone online.
In terms of build-your-own web items, configuring a 3 isn't much of a departure from the rest of the Mazda range. Most of the work comes from choosing one of the three trim levels - Sport, Touring and Grand Touring - and selecting either the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder or its larger sibling, the 184-horsepower, 2.5-liter, Skyactiv four. From there, a simple range of color and interior finishes are available, before a slim list of packages, options and accessories. Really, Mazda's made it easy to get through this build process.
Click on over to the configurator and take a look at the options, colors and prices for Mazda's newest five-door hatchback.
