An excellent example of an American Miata in JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) trim. In Japan it is not called a Miata Convertible, it is a Eunos Roadster and is RHD with different badging and trim and colors and seats. I had purchased a Japanese Sales Brochure and a book with great color pictures and set about making my Miata over into a Eunos. After all, several years ago Mazda proudly announced the production of its millionth Miata, takes a bit of imagination to make yours stand out in this.... sea..... of long-lived Miatas.

One road-tester for a car mag called the Miata the "finest MGB that England never made", this was based on the similarities between the two cars: same weight, same CCs of engine, similar length/width/etc. Except the Miata regularly exceeds 200,000 miles as a good functional sports car, (you can find em on Ebay with those miles)....but the MGB ...not  so much...sad, and I used to race an MGB in RMVR, loved em. But lack of reliability, early parts failure and so on doomed the Brits. O well.

The car is strangely optioned, power mirrors and steering with headrest speakers and manual  windows?

   Now there are cheaper Miata-Eunos cars out there but consider:

  NEW in last 17 months: 4 tires, complete clutch SYSTEM (clutch, TO-bearing, P-Plate, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, refurbish flywheel), new top, 4 wheel alignment, new grille, JVC CD and radio, EUNOS bits, inner tie-rods, radiator and A/C condenser and silicone hoses, air-management undertray, brakes, refinishing Daisy wheels with clear lacquer, timing belt/water pump and A/C belt, etc.

Some of the more significant costs: tires=350, clutch System=2100, top=900, align=80, JVC=130, tierods=340, rad=155, condenser=105, hoses=50,timingbelt+pump=515.

    total= $ 4,775. for the big lumps. All the other stuff: Wipers, Eunos Bits, louvers, swapping all the major-fluids and so on...who can keep track? So all the Major Maint and replacing stuff has been done (receipts for all the above go with the car).

     And then I hit a tall Chevy SUV (Slid under his rear bumper)  at 25 miles per hour in the rain....just two weeks ago.

So you can see the pics of the car before, and after with the primer front. I am due to see the new front-bumper cover tomorrow for possible purchase. So I had to replace the hood, passenger side front fender, one headlightr cover, a bumper support bracket and the bumper cover, The marker lights and reflector lights did not get broken because of the slow speed so....all the bits went back on with tasteful mods (see louvers pics). All the lights work well and the car moves down the road straight and smooth. Were it not for the primer you would never know. But now I am at a crossroads, about to move my girlfriend in (yeah, even at age 72 you still have "Relationships") and I own two convertibles, a Eunos-Miata and a Mustang. Gotta sell one so.....both are listed, fate will sell one and I will keep the other. And then her Elantra will sleep inside and there will be peace in the house.. 

   So you can fly in and drive home in a solid reliable car. I will meet you at the airport with a full tank and point you in the right direction.

NOTE: someone sent me an email on a point that I was not clear enough on....The car is completely repaired and I am driving it now MINUS the bumper cover. I am looking at one tomorrow that may/may-not be worth buying?   So the Worst-Case is that you buy a Eunos that is completely drivable to go home in...minus the front bumper cover.   The Best-Case is that you buy a Eunos with the front bumper cover fitted that is completely drivable to go home in. BUT IN EITHER=CASE THE CAR IS IN PRIMER FROM THE WINDSHIELD FORWARD. So it will require paint and I would recommend, for obvious reasons, white. Color is up to you of course. And both fenders have been sanded on the inside and painted with Rustolieum satin black (see pics) so that the car will outlive its brethren without rust. Nothing like being OCD...

NOTE: the S-covers (pictured) were available only in Japan and covered the speakers in the door, who knew the Japanese were into art-deco. You also get all the stock parts that were replaced by Eunos bits: hubcaps, door sills, emblems, etc. As the JDM brochure shows, they were available in Japan with red or blue interiors in addition to the black/tan we got offered and my red console? You also get the  black console with it. See pics. Also have all the front end lights, Marker and Side both. You also get the original Miata cassette player/radio (in the JVC box). In addition I have two more cans of the red flexible spray paint for the doors. And the headlights pop up and shine like always. The grille is Moss Motors new, and the somewhat rare plastic piece that goes across the bottom of the windshield (always cracked) is perfect and hanging on the wall. And I am sure that I have forgotten to list all the extra bits but they will be loaded into the car as I have no use for them if the Eunos sells before the Mustang.

Next Mazda CX-9 to launch by 2016, could get turbo-four

Thu, 01 May 2014

Mazda has a lot going on these days, what with launching the new Mazda6 and Mazda3, with the new Mazda2 just around the corner. We know the new Miata is also on the way, and after that it looks like the next vehicle in its lineup due for an overhaul is the CX-9 crossover, due to launch by 2016. The move makes sense because the CUV is growing long in the tooth. It was first introduced in 2007 and was refreshed twice since then.
The next-generation CX-9 will move away from Ford-derived components like the V6 in the current model and will likely use a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. However, a final decision hasn't been made yet. "If I ask Mr. Hitomi, our top guy of powertrains at Mazda, he believes the downsizing turbo solution costs more. But real downsizing means six-cylinder to four-cylinder turbo could make sense from a cost point of view," said Mazda's global marketing boss Masahiro Moro to CarAdvice at the New York Auto Show. The executive said a hybrid powertrain option would be unlikely, but markets outside the US could get a diesel, as well.
Moro also tipped his hand at future Mazda model plans. He hints that the Japanese automaker is considering building a luxury vehicle with a six-cylinder engine. "It's too early, we don't have a car yet. But we are collecting advice as to V6 or straight-six," he said to CarAdvice. We'll definitely be watching.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).

Why we can't have better headlights here in the U.S.

Tue, Mar 13 2018

It wouldn't be a European auto show if we weren't teased with at least one mainstream vehicle we can't have here. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, the small but vocal contingent of shooting-brake buffs lamented that the Mazda6 wagon won't be coming to our shores, although they can take comfort in the fact that the vehicle won't get the torquey 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine we'll get here. Mercedes-Benz also announced a new headlight technology in Geneva that likely won't be available here anytime soon. It's just the latest in a long line of innovative and potentially lifesaving front-lighting solutions that the federal government doesn't allow in this country due to outdated standards — and a current lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light system that debuted in Geneva uses a computer chip to activate more than a million micro-reflectors to better illuminate the road ahead. The Digital Light headlamps works with the vehicle's cameras, sensors and navigation mapping to adjust lighting for the given location and situation and to detect other road users. The Digital Light technology also serves as an extended head-up display of sorts by projecting symbols on the pavement ahead to alert drivers to, say, slippery conditions or pedestrians in the road. And it can even project lines on the road in a construction zone or through tight curves to show the driver the correct path. Digital Light will be available on Mercedes-Maybach vehicles later this year, although like any technology it's bound to trickle down to less expensive vehicles. That is, if we ever get it here in the U.S. Audi, a leader in automotive lighting, has repeatedly run into snags trying to bring state-of-the-art car headlights to the U.S. The German luxury automaker's recently introduced matrix laser headlight system, which performs many of the same trick as Mercedes-Benz's Digital Light, also isn't legal on U.S. roads. And five years after the introduction of its matrix-beam LED lighting, which illuminates more of the road without blinding oncoming motorists with brights by simultaneously operating high and low beams, Audi still can't bring that technology to the U.S. either.
