For sale is my personally owned car which I did not envision selling since this is my forth Mazda Miata and the best one I've ever owned.  The only reason I'm selling it is because I miscalculated the amount I owe on my taxes this year and one of my toys has to go.  I purchased the Mazdaspeed (only 5000 turbocharged units(?) were made in 2004) in August 2012 here on ebay, and had it shipped to me in Albuquuerque, NM from Ft. Lauderdale Florida.  That is how bad I wanted this car! It had 31,000 miles on it and now has only 34,000 miles on it.  


History: I researched the car through Carfax before I bought it and it is without any incidents what so ever.  I even spoke to the original owner (I'm the third owner) and it was a weekend date car for a married accountant in Bedford TX, so it has been a garage queen from 2004-2011.  The gentleman sold the Miata when he moved to Ft. Meyers from Texas due to a lack of garage space.  It was purchased by another adult who spent over $1000 on the Mazdaspeed.  He:
  • upgraded the intercooler to one of a larger capacity (see photo), 
  • installed a programmable Apex boost controller (shown in photo inside armrest console),
  • installed a boost guage which is handsomely installed in the left drivers side A/C vent (see photo, nice, and looks factory),
  • installed High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with the correct projector lens for a very updated and practical look to the car.

He sold the car to me because he took a job requiring a more practical vehicle for long trips.  He apologized to me for not having waxed the car before it went on the car transporter, and like me, that's how much he loved this car!

Specifics: When I got the car, I went through it completely...I'm a perfectionist, a retired engineer, and a motorhead, what can I say. 

This is the maintenance I performed on the car:
  • replaced ALL the fluids. Transmission (with synthetic manual transmission oil), coolant, rear differential, andbleed all the brakes (Oil and filter was changed before delivery),
  • installed a Racing Beat stainless steel exhaust which gives the car a nice mellow, deep tone, reminescent of the old British cars (I kept the stock exhaust), 
  • installed new tires; BF Goodrich, G-Force Super Sport, A/S, 205/40R/17 tires on the car at a cost of $560, and 
  • replaced the fan/alternator belts with Mazda OEM belts.
You can see by the photos that this is an immaculate and well cared for car.  I'm a car nut and to find exceptionally well kept cars with low mileage is very difficult. I have sold many motorcyles and a few cars on ebay over the years and everybody who has made a purchase from me has been more than satisfied to say the least, and glad that they made the six to nine (!) hour drive to receive the vehicle.  Bid with confidence, see my feedback and good luck!

P.S.: The car has always been garaged, and oil changes were with Mobil 1 Synthetic oil.

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
