Car is being sold with 2 engines. The engine described below and all the fabrication was done by Mike Essa, Formula Drift Champion, 2013. The raced out motor needs a partial rebuild, pinched seal, easy fix, I was quoted $450 in a known rotary shop in the Southern California area,  you'll need the new corner seals, and a net seat of water and oil seals, apex seals are brand spanking new, seals are Hurley 2MM large street port, and exhaust is ported brand new, less than 100 miles.  The engine is painted blue, and chromed out at the front, middle and rear housings. Engine is a 1991 13B turbo 2 block. Rebuilt from a JSPEC motor. 


The other engine that this deal comes with is a running 13B Turbo, 91 Block, JSPEC Block. Plug and play. Engine is running, used. Low miles, perfect running block, while you get the other finalized, Car is worth over 25K. All the parts in the car are brand new, with the exception of the used turbo block. 


I'm second owner, I've owned it since 44K miles, now it has 76K miles, no accidents, all original body, minor scratches, minor dime sized dings. No Bondo, virtually no rust, California Car, I'm second owner, this car has not seen rain in all of my years as the owner, the vehicle's body is is great-overall condition, for being over 40 years old. About the car, Interior is all complete, and in great condition, I don't have the original carpet, or the original seats, everything else is original, exterior, I don't have the front or rear big-bumpers. I have the grill, I had to take it out due to the oversized 3.5 inch thick spearco core intercooler. I have the bezels as well. 


All the windows roll down, doors close perfectly good, no body misalignment issues, vehicle is completely underpriced. 


Other original parts from this car, - Original 3 keys, AutoMatic Transmission, -original dual exhaust, ac/condenser unit, original stock wheels in the rear, original rear seats, original gas tank, original gas/air separator, original emblems for rear, and side, and on the grill.-original grill, 12a blue Japanese air filter cover, original 12a distributor electric. Shipping will be at buyers expense for all the extra parts that I'm including in this deal. 


This is a great father and son project to finish off in one weekend, and turn it on immediately, so make your child proud. All the fabrication is completed, and car runs solid when it's on. Always garaged, never even broke in the engine. So the buyer will have a bad ass motor once the seals are fixed. Haltech is tuned, so it's good to go with either motor, like I said-plug and play with the substitute engine, and or a partial rebuild. 


I don't have the time to install the newer engine, so i'm cutting my losses, and selling it, that said I know the car, the price's, etc.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

2014 Mazda CX-5 with 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Back in October, we compared the relative merits of two new and very good small crossovers: the 2013 Ford Escape and 2013 Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 we tested then had Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine under its hood, and it managed to just edge out the EcoBoosted Ford despite being down by some 23 horsepower and 34 pound-feet of torque. Had it been available, the 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine that we recently had the opportunity to try out in the 2014 Mazda CX-5, it may have made that comparison even easier to call in the Japanese CUV's favor.
Clearly, if you're in the market for a reasonably sized crossover, the CX-5 should, at the very least, be on your test-drive list. The new engine offering will let buyers opt for a stronger powerplant, with 184 hp and 185 lb-ft on tap. On our second day in Austin's Hill Country - the first was spent quick-spinning the 2014 Mazda6 i Sport, you'll recall - we covered a couple of hundred miles and put the new CX-5 through its paces; here's what we turned up.

Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru expand global Takata recalls by 715k [UPDATE]

Fri, May 22 2015

UPDATE: Subaru of America spokesperson Michael McHale tells Autoblog that the company is recalling 78,000 Imprezas from the 2004 and 2005 model years in the US. This is a national expansion of the company's previous regional recall for the Impreza. The Takata airbag inflator recall just keeps growing. The latest expansion encompasses 715,000 vehicles from Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru. Many of the affected models are in Japan. The largest expansion from these three automakers comes from Mitsubishi. According to Reuters, the company is adding 100,000 vehicles in Japan and 412,000 outside of the country without identifying any specific regions. Mazda is issuing safety campaigns for 112,000 vehicles in Japan, and some of these include models that the company produces there for Mitsubishi and Nissan, according to Reuters. In statement to Autoblog (embedded below), Mazda said that it is still evaluating the situation in terms of a possible effect on the US. Finally, Subaru is calling in 91,000 Imprezas in Japan. At this time, it isn't clear whether Mitsubishi's or Subaru's expansions affect the United States, but Autoblog has reached out to them for more information. According to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, exposure to moisture can cause the propellant in these inflators to ignite too quickly and cause these dangerous ruptures. Takata has also been investigating the problem. Related Video: Mazda statement "We are aware of the NHTSA/Takata announcement, and are evaluating the effects of it on Mazda. As soon as we have had a chance to fully evaluate the situation – number of vehicles affected, age of those vehicles, where they're located, etc. – we will be able to share those details."
