1988 Mazda B2200 Custom Truck.  I have owned this truck for 11 years.  It was bone stock when I bought it.  I have completed all of the modifications myself.  I have built several Mazda trucks over the years.  This truck is traditionally bodydropped, with no step in the cab- smoothed floor, and a raised stock bed floor.  It has four wheel independent controlled firestone airbags.  It features Custom tubular Upper and lower front control arms, eliminating the front strut rod/radius rods.  The rear suspension has been frame clipped with an independent rear suspension from an 88' RX7 Turbo II car.  The front hubs have been redrilled professionally to 5x4.5 inch/114.3mm to match the rear RX7 rear suspension.  The rear end is the bigger axles and 3rd member from the rx7, a posi 4.10 unit. The rear shocks are cantilever style mounted under the bed floor.  The front has newer shocks relocated behind the control arms.  The truck has a brand new custom driveshaft connecting the stock B2200  5 speed transmission to the RX7 rear end.  The front of the cab has been tubbed with trailer fenders, stock inner fenders removed.  A brand new core support was weleded in during the body drop.  The truck has been body dropped 3.5 inches, with shaved cab pinch welds.  The truck lays flat on Mazda RX8 18x8 inch Shinka wheels, 215/35/18 inch Toyo tires.  The frame has been plated on the bottom with 1/4" plate so the frame will drag before the body.  I do not drag this truck.  It has a custom fuel cell under the bed floor with a custom fuel filler beck utilizing the stock fuel filler door.  The fuel cell is aluminum.  It sits in a cage in the rear frame and has a drag bar under the back of the frame to protect it from getting hit by road debris and the drag bar also protects to roll pan from being ripped off. 

This truck has no rust whatsoever.  The floors are solid as well as the bed floor.  The paint is in good shape.  It is stock Mazda truck Red.  The front of the truck has been repainted to match, but doesn't match perfectly.  It has a B2600i stock bubble hood.  The front bumper is a brand new Mazda bumper, not a cheap ebay foreign unit. The cab of the truck is a different shade from the rest of the body panels.  Overall it looks good and is straight but a coat of paint would make this a show winner for sure!

This truck has a newly rebuilt stock 2.2 liter engine, about 30,000 miles on it since the rebuild.  The rebuild included new piston rings, rod and crankshaft bearings, Mazda cylinder head gasket, and cleaned and reworked cylinder head.  A new exedy clutch was put in at the rebuild.  The truck has been painstakingly converted to factory Mazda EFI California emissions fuel injection.  It features a custom TIG welded aluminum intake manifold.  The truck runs great!  It has a high heat powder coated Pacesetter header.  It has a brand new aluminum radiator and electric fan.  The truck doesn't leak a drop of anything.  It never uses oil.  Runs terrifically.  It has a custom powdercoated Rare Magnum Mazda valve cover colored Red to match the truck.  It has a brand new Optima Red top battery.  No A/C, No Power steering.  It does have good heat. The truck recently got MAZDA OEM upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, Mazda belts, thermostat, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and OEM NGK wires. 

The stock Mazda A/C compressor Sanden unit has been converted into an engine driven air compressor for the air ride system.  The truck has eight Parker valves 3/8 inch for independent control.  It also has four manual valves for slow inflation deflation.  The custom Aluminum TIG welded center console houses the four switches for the eight electric valves and the four manual switches as well as three gauges for front and rear air pressures and the center gauge is air tank pressure.  The truck has two chrome 3 gallon tanks mounted under the bed floor. 

The interior of the truck is very clean and nice.  It has new aftermarket carpet which fits extremely well, you can barely tell it's bodydropped.  It has nice Miata black cloth bucket seats.  It has LE-5 style rear interior featuring rear cab wall carpet and plastic side cab panels.  The Alpine CD player is mounted in the center of the dash under the air vents.  Stock Mazda door panels in good condition.  It has four Boston 4 inch speakers mounted in the stock locations.  Alpine has front USB and aux. inputs.  The truck also has Brand New Mazda OEM Window run channels, outer and inner window felt strips on doors.  Windows roll up and down very nicely.

This is a show truck, I would not recommend this truck as a daily driver.  It is a good driver, and I would not hesitate to jump in this truck and drive across the country.  However it is more of a show and play vehicle.  Due to the suspension mods and rear IRS, it will go through tires.  It drivers great and has been aligned, but it goes through tires about every 10-15k miles.  It's just the nature of the truck.  It has newer brakes on it.  Also it has no catalytic converter, and straight pipe with a glass pack exhaust.  It's louder than stock but not bad.  Not much room under this truck.  The exhaust does not drag and sits nicely under the truck while it's layed out.  The front of the truck must be raised to turn, which makes it not a good candidate for a daily driver. 

If you are looking for a great well built lowrider Mazda, this is the truck.  I've owned this truck for 11 years.  It's been a lot of fun.  It's time for other projects for me now.  I'd like to see it go to a good home.  Please call Jim @ 636-577-4447 for questions.  No texts please.  The mileage on the truck is not accurate, but it really makes no difference as everything has been rebuilt. It's a clear title in my name. I am a serious motivated seller but I won't give this truck away. Consider this: you CANNOT buy a stock form of the truck with zero rust and a good running engine for less than 2500 dollars, kudos to you if you can. Furthermore, you cannot modify this truck to this extend for 4000 dollars. At 6500 dollars, I think it's a fair price for this custom vehicle.

Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata to make video-game debut next week in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]

Fri, Mar 13 2015

We've driven the all-new, fourth-generation Mazda MX5 Miata. Have you? Well, probably not. With the new roadster not set to hit dealerships until later this year (at the earliest), you might be stuck waiting a bit to climb behind the wheel of the highly regarded two-seater. Of course, if you happen to own Forza Horizon 2, your wait will be significantly shorter. And it'll be absolutely free to boot. The new convertible will make its video-game debut as part of a four-vehicle car pack for the open-world racing title. Downloads will start on March 17. Alongside the new MX-5, the Mazda car pack will also add representatives from each of the roadster's first three generations. Repping the NA will be the 1990 MX-5. The second-generation NB will be represented by the turbocharged 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5, while the NC will arrive in the form of the Super 20 Concept, shown back at the 2010 SEMA Show. On top of the new vehicles, gamers will also have a chance to win a 2016 MX-5 as part of the new Mazda MX-5 Challenge. Running from March 17 to April 30, those interested in a free Mazda will need to lap its virtual counterpart around the Sisteron Perimeter Sprint Circuit, with the two fastest drivers slated to take part in a head-to-head race in June. The winner will walk away with their very own 2016 MX-5. Oh, and as a final juicy tidbit, the press release clearly states that the Miata weighs in at just 2,332 pounds – just a smidge more than the original NA. (That's with the manual transmission, of course – automatic cars are said to weigh 2,381 pounds.) You can get more specific details on the contest, as well as read more about the car pack, in the attached press release. Check out the release, as well as a preview vid of the MX-5 Car Pack.

MICROSOFT AND MAZDA LET YOU DRIVE IT FIRST: ALL-NEW MAZDA MX-5 DEBUTS AS FREE DOWNLOAD FOR FORZA HORIZON 2 ON XBOX ONE IRVINE, Calif., March 12, 2015 -- Beginning March 17, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) is giving Forza Horizon 2 players the exclusive opportunity to drive the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on Xbox One months before the physical car goes on sale to the public. Additionally, by taking advantage of the free download of the car, and driving it in the game, users will have the chance to win one by competing in the new Time Trial Rivals Contest.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
