This terrific 2001 Mazda Miata has been garaged, cared for, and has just the right upgrades making it, in my opinion, the perfect Miata. If you want a Miata that has all of the goodies and none of the abuse, this is the car that you have been looking for. Highlights include:

++ Original paint, body, and leather (always garaged)
++ $550 Brand new Dunlop tires with less than 2k on them
++ $3,195 S1 Bell Engineering Turbo System (not including installation + $1,800) – Arguably the best, no fuss, conservatively tuned turbo for Miata with lots of upside potential for the enthusiast.
++ $602 Racing Beat high performance exhaust recommended by Bell Engineering
++ $1,600 SSR Gun Metal Grey aluminum racing rims
++ $275 JVC Bluetooth Deck wired into OEM Bose Speakers
++ $200 Chrome double hoop roll bar
++ High performance clutch, engine bay strut bar, & billet (parking brake, shift knob/set, gas-fill)

A simple roll-up of just the major value add enhancements (not including installation) is:
$6,422

Kelly Blue Book for this Mazda without aforementioned enhancements is $7,197

Asking price: $8,500

This vehicle has the OEM ECU allowing it to pass smog and emissions without any issue whatsoever. The S1 Turbo brings just the right amount of power and daily driving characteristics that BEGI is known for. The stock Miata comes with 142 HP and the S1 in its current conservative configuration adds another 50 HP (or 35%) bringing this little roadster to life. I have never found the need, but according to Bell Engineering, the S1 turbo is capable of producing 230 – 280 HP with an upgraded ECU. See the link below for details. The build out for this car was done by Bell Engineering in central Texas. This car has spent its life in Austin Texas until our recent move to the Memphis TN area.

This car has 2 flaws and is otherwise impeccable. The flaws are:

1. A small tear in the convertible top at the bottom right hand corner of rear window (see pics).
2. A small tear in the passenger seat also shown in the pics.

Outside of the two aforementioned flaws, this is an amazing roadster - one that has never seen abuse and is very well cared for. Our growing family and newly adopted Mastiff requires for me to part with this fine Mazda. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Graffiti artist Banksy turns Mazda Protege into warfare commentary

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

British 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).

Jay Leno celebrates Mazda Miata's 25th birthday

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

Ask a car enthusiast what the best driver's car on the road is, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata is very likely to come up rather quickly. Unjustly saddled with a reputation as a "chick's car," the Miata has been, over its three generations, one of the finest driving instruments ever built - it's light, agile and rear-wheel drive with direct, snappy steering, an engine that revels in being revved and a precise, smooth-shifting transmission. The fact that it's ridiculously affordable and reliable is simply a bonus.
It should come as no surprise then, that a car with these traits has endured for 25 years, a milestone reached only by some of the most famous nameplates in the auto industry - Corvette, Mustang, F-150, SL, M3 and so on. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Jay Leno spent some time with the little roadster that could, while also chatting with two of the Mazda employees that were central to the MX-5's arrival on the world's automotive scene, Bob Hall and Tom Matano.
Take a look below for the latest video from Jay Leno's Garage on the excellent Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO

Fri, 10 May 2013

There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.
