Granny's Speedshop supplied the kit and I and my brother in law (a professional SoCal auto mechanic) built it at his shop, Brothers Automotive, in Huntington Beach, CA. The engine was purchased as a long block rebuild. Modifications were limited to a California smog legal Edelbrock cam and intake manifold. The 700R4 transmission was professionally inspected before installation. The car is registered and insured in Arizona but has been sitting. It has been driven about 500 miles since engine installation. The tach and speedo are not hooked up. The battery is in a stock well in the trunk at the very back of the car. Work was stopped on this project by a windfall chance to build a Factory Five Cobra and once you've done that, this engine swap pales in comparison. Effort was made to have the swap be Ca smog legal to no avail. In other words, the Chevy computer is from a 1990 Firebird and the engine was not hot rodded to my dream. That's your opportunity. Seats and top were redone about 6 years ago. This 23 year old car has defects, as you can see. The fiberglas hood bump was added to the aluminum hood to accomodate the stock air cleaner that was required for smog. The car now has an after market cleaner and thus clears the standard hood that I do NOT have. As you can see, the top cover and its case are with the car in good shape. You will also get the books.

Mazda CX-5 getting mild refresh
Thu, 14 Aug 2014Mazda has found both critical and commercial success with its CX-5 small crossover, and seems to be endeavoring to keep the momentum up with an upcoming refresh. As you can extrapolate from the obvious lack of the usual camouflage, the company isn't reinventing anything in the very near future of the CX-5, but it does seem as thought some tweaks are in the works.
Lighting elements fore and aft appear to have gone under the knife, with the front grille and rear fascia also seemingly to be slightly revised. The side mirrors now look slicker and slightly more upscale with their integrated turn signals, as well.
In all, expect a look that's a touch fresher, without being a radical departure from the existing visage.
Mazda Miata 25th anniversary display is roadster heaven on Earth
Thu, 17 Apr 2014As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata, Mazda has put together a rather large display at its New York Auto Show booth, showing off significant models from the diminutive roadsters history.
The display represents a healthy split of volume models, with cars 14, 15 and 17 sitting alongside cars 500,000 and 700,000. There are also more than a few concept cars in the offering, such as the Super20 Concept we drove a few years back, as well as older offerings, like the Club Racer concept from the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the M-Speedster from the 1995 Chicago show and the M Coupe from the 1996 New York Auto Show.
We've put together a gallery of images of the historical Miata display, which you can view above. Take a look and then let us know which of Mazda's awesome roadsters is your favorite.
