2007 Miata with a Moss Supercharger, Hard Dog Roll Bar, Koni Adjustable Sport Shocks, Progress Tech Springs, Sway bars front and rear
Silver Grey – Black Leather, 6 speed, Bose stereo 6 CD changer w/ SAT and Media.   I think it is the Grand Touring 
Salvage Title, it was hit on the left. 
About 53,000 mi  – not a daily driver but being driven and always garaged.   
It is not smogable in California.  It easily passes the sniffer test but the Moss supercharger kit is not CARB - Calif legal.
It is very fast but I want a dedicated autox car so I am building a new one and I need to sell this to pay for it.
The paint and interior are very good,  however there are a few small spots, dings and chips, it is a used car with 53k miles.  
 
You can talk to Rocky @ Rock's Miatamotive in San Diego, he did the work and maintenance for the original owner including installing the supercharger. He checked the car before I bought it and has done all the work for me.  It is for sale on his website also.  Please call him only if you are very serious about buying the car,  he is self employed and his time is money.  thanks

The Moss Supercharger was installed at about 42k mi by Rocky for the previous owner.  
It has about 215 hp and 170 ft lbs tq @ 5 psi,  at the flywheel.

It has Power Cards to adjust the timing and richen the fuel for the super charger.  They work ok but need to be checked regularly,  if they get out of adjustment the car will hesitate slightly under acceleration.
Brian Goodwin, Goodwin Racing who I autox with, says that another 20 hp could be gotten with an ECU reflash that would eliminate the Power cards and smooth the power band a bit.  He has the same supercharger on his race car and says it is very reliable,( Moss had a guarantee for 100k mi to the original owner ).   

The supercharger kit cost about $ 2.500 and about $ 1000 to install, Rocky figured a way to keep the oil cooler, many have been installed with it bypassed.
  
I put Koni adjustable shocks, Progress Tech springs, Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Set F & R and a Hard Dog M3 Sport Roll Bar and had the fenders rolled and pulled for the street and autox tires. 

I autoxed it 3 times, it does very well it has plenty of power and can spin the Nito NT01's very easily in 1 st 2 nd and 3rd.  The handling is very neutral and it really goes.
Stuff replaced – power steering pump, left tie rod and end, metal supercharger intake gasket the old one was paper, new pre cat.  


Street Tires and Wheels 7 x 17" MB  7 spoke wheels, silver w/ Hankook 235 x 50  Ventus V12  
Autox tires and Wheels  255 x 40 ZR 17 Nito NT01 DOT slicks on 9 x 17" TR Motorsport wheels.   
This car looks great rides beautifully and is a Very Fast high performance car, still very controllable and handles amazingly well, point it where you want it to go, it is there.  
$ 14,500 obo  
Please contact me with any questions
thanks  Happy bidding

Fiat 124 spied with top down

Sun, Sep 27 2015

With fall officially here, the days are rapidly running out for much of the country to put the top down and enjoy a convertible. Fiat apparently wants to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts, given these fresh spy shots of the 124 Spider testing with the roof down. In terms of styling, these photos show the droptop with an extremely similar look to the ones from July. The roadster still appears to have rounded headlights and a wide grille up front, which the kidney-shaped cladding does nothing to hide. The hood bulge continues to be there, too, and so is the spiderweb-pattern camouflage. However, these new shots let us check out the roll hoops that are visible with the top out of the way, and we even get to see the manual roof in operation. Also, note there are now dual exhausts at the rear, rather than the quad tips from before. Underneath all this camo and cladding, we know that the 124 Spider shares underpinnings with the new Mazda MX-5 Miata. The engine remains a mystery, but competing rumors suggest the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the current 500 Abarth or the 1.7-liter turbo four from the Alfa Romeo 4C. Thankfully, an answer might not be too far away because the roadster is mooted to debut this year, possibly at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. With the latest Miata receiving high praise from critics, the motoring world soon gets to find out whether Fiat can find any room for improvement. Related Video:

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal livestream is here and now

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

Let's not understate the significance and difficulty of what's been accomplished here. In this ever-connected, constantly surveilled modern auto industry, Mazda has pulled a coup - it's kept a new vehicle under wraps. Yes, we've seen hacked up and camouflaged mules and maybe a form under a sheet, but Mazda is about to reveal its next-generation MX-5 Miata, and the car - let alone its specifications - hasn't been leaked anywhere yet. Not via clandestine camera phone snapshot, not by patent drawing, not by leaked ad copy, not even by diecast model. Believe us, we've looked.
And this isn't just some humdrum crossover or workaday compact, it's the Miata, the world's most popular roadster, apple of the enthusiast community's eye and seeming center of gravity for the Japanese automaker. For those who are genuinely excited about cars - about motoring - this is an impressive feat. If anything, Mazda's radio silence regarding the fourth-generation ND Miata has only served to heighten our anticipation for a model that probably won't reach showrooms for another year.
So, what's true and what's false among all the rumors? Will the already lightweight Miata really shed hundreds of pounds? What exactly will live under hood and drive those rear wheels?

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
