This is not a real 10th Anniversary (10AE) Turbo 2, this project is the car that Mazda should have made, complete it and you will have the first. The donor car was a 1988 10AE Turbo II The recipient car is a 1988 Convertible, white with black interior(from 89 convertible). (the most ideal recipient!) All 10AE specific items used in this conversion include the following: •Turbo Engine, ECU, Harness, and components •Turbo Tranny and Driveshaft •Turbo rear end, Axles, and Hubs •Turbo Cluster •10AE/Canadian Headlight Switch (for headlight washer button) •Headlight washers and reservoir •10AE Horn button •10AE Badging •10AE Wheels •Door panels •Front and Rear Bumper Covers •Side molding modified parts •Stock convertible taillights painted white •Have original 10 AE wing but it will need to be modified to be used on a convertible •convertible seats are retained(turbo seats available if you want them instead but still need to be redone), but they will be done in leather like that in the Coupe, instead of the perforated leather that comes on the convertible seats I started with a white 1988 Convertible Rx-7, I used this car as a daily driver for 3 years. I removed the NA 13B engine, Transmission and suspension and installed a good used S4 T2 Engine. From a 10AE T2 donor car I used the Front bumper with the Headlight washer system, front fenders with 10AE badges, 10AE Rims, complete suspension, transmission, and rear end. Black interior combination of 10AE and 1989 convertible Rx7 all black, including good 10AE steering wheel. Car is 75% completed. The engine is running and has been completely wired in. What needs work. The Convertible top works mechanism and motors good but vinyl has small tears and will need replaced. needs radio surround, needs 10AE specific shifter. Seats need to be recovered, Standard convertible seats or T2 your choice I have both. Needs complete exhaust. Will need tires ones on car are good for shipping only. I was building this as I would think that Mazda would have had they produced a convertible version of the 10AE. Sold as is, this is a running car will need some parts(exhaust, tires) but could be licensed and on the street in a few days or the projected completed by you in less than one week. I realize this is a unfinished project but the hard work has been done, even at the buy it now price I am losing money. My loss is your gain.

Fiat 124 Abarth Spider spied, may get Alfa 4C power

Tue, Jul 14 2015

We've long been excited to see, hear, and drive the car that results from the in-process Fiat-Mazda partnership. The Italian brand has had access to the excellent 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on which to base its own roadster, and the fruits of that labor will soon ripen. Spied here is not only the ensuing Fiat 124, but a hotter Abarth tuned version of the spider. At least, that's what we're hoping. Our spy shooters indicated that the car seen here not only sounded more aggressive than 'standard' 124 mules seen previously, but that it also accelerated away from their long lenses with a smartness. The 124 Spider is already rumored to make use of the 1.4-liter turbo I4 that makes 160 horsepower in the Fiat 500 Abarth, and this version may have a still-more-powerful engine. Another tell about the added output are the quad tailpipes in place of the lesser car's set of two. There's no hard evidence to support exactly which engine might be under the 124's hood, however. It's possible that the 1.7-liter turbo from Alfa Romeo 4C could be in play – with its 237-hp output – as the 124 was originally going to wear an Alfa badge. If that were to happen, however, the Fiat would almost certainly get a dual-clutch transmission instead of the purer manual box. In any event, more details about the car will no doubt crop up closer to the expected reveal this fall. Related Video:

Mazda on sales upswing in Europe but won't build there

Sat, 20 Jul 2013

Auto sales in Europe have been a tricky proposition for some years, but Mazda has seen some success on the backs of the CX-5 and new Mazda6. According to a report form Automotive News Europe, though, that doesn't mean we should be looking for the Japanese manufacturer to set up production operations there.
Mazda's European CEO, Jeff Guyton, explained to AN that "Our intention is to have manufacturing scale. That gives you scale economy and quality through repeatability." In other words, a big honking plant in one part of the world is preferable to a half dozen small factories building the same vehicles.
European sales for Mazda are up 5.4 percent in the first half of 2013, with 74,000 units sold. That kicked the Zoom-Zoom brand's market share up from one to 1.2 percent. Small gains, but gains nonetheless. According to Guyton, Mazda would need to sell 200,000 units of just one model in Europe for local production to make sense. Mazda's best European year saw 320,000 units sold across the entire range.

Electric Miata smokes Tesla Model S at the track

Wed, Jul 9 2014

Yes, folks, you read that headline right. A souped up battery-electric version of a Mazda Miata took down a Tesla Model S on a quarter-mile drag strip. And it wasn't even close. Road Test TV was kind enough to post a video of a forest-green Miata (and its very stoked driver) doing a quarter-mile run in a rather brisk 9.27 seconds, beating the Model S sedan by a whopping 3.5 seconds in the process. And the Mazda crossed the finish line moving at 142 miles per hour, or 40 miles per hour faster than the Tesla was going when it finished the race. It's a good thing for the Tesla owner that they weren't racing for pink slips. Granted, the comparison is probably an unfair one because the Tesla was a stock, production vehicle (the P85 Performance model, but still), whereas who knows how the Miata was juiced up and how much cash it took to do the job. It's sort of like putting, say, an automotive writer against Usain Bolt because we ate the same breakfast and share 99 percent of our DNA. Still, the video does lend a certain credence to the idea that a battery-electric, super-light, rear-wheel-drive Miata would be a lot of fun, or at least a heck of lot more fun than any other Mazda out there. We're just sayin'. Check out the 100-second video below, and remember not to blink. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
