Mazda Rx3, Datsun 510, Sr20det, Mazda Rx2, R100, Mazda Rx8, Mazda Rx7, 13b Turbo on 2040-cars
United States
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.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
RingBanana Miata breaks 9-min Nurburgring barrier
Wed, Aug 26 2015The RingBanana is a cheap Mazda MX-5 Miata on a screaming mission: to lap the Nurburgring in under nine minutes. And let us emphasize the word "cheap." The team wanted the least expensive Miata they could find that still ran, and then wanted to spend the least amount of money possible in order to hit their target mark. We don't know how much they spent on the Ringbanana, but they were so indiscriminate about the purchase that they don't know what year the car is. They only know that it's got 90 horsepower, green springs, Fulda tires, and "it's completely crap." After setting a base lap of 9:21.8 the guys behind the project figured they'd have a fair bit of work. Turns out a new set of Kumho V70A semi-slick, road-legal race tires paired with Gabriel Pirana's driving is all they needed. With just that mod Pirana set a lap time of 8:59.9, and that was while having to deal with one spot of slow traffic that was getting around a stricken car. According to Wikipedia, this puts them between a 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged and a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS. Even though the team achieved its goal on its first attempt, the Ringbanana game isn't over – there's probably a suspension mod in the near future while the guys figure out just how quickly they can go. The video above does a good job of showing just how fun it can be driving a slow car fast.
Mazda Furai concept designer talks about his car's passing
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Last week, there was mourning at the Autoblog offices as word trickled in that the Mazda Furai concept - one of the coolest, best-looking showcars to grace an auto show stage since the wild and crazy 1960s -had been killed. It was killed on the track with the folks from Top Gear in attendance. We're sure the gods of driving would have wanted it to die on a circuit, but that doesn't make its fiery passing any easier to deal with.
The Furai is the rare concept car that had a lasting appeal with enthusiasts, partly because it was a real, functioning racecar, complete with a wacky three-rotor Wankel engine and cutting-edge Nagare design. Now that it's gone, though, Road & Track's Mallory McMorrow, who was an intern at Mazda Design when the Furai was being styled in 2007, has published an interview with one of the men who penned the Mazda showcar's striking exterior, Carlos Salaff. It's a great piece on the emotional connection between a designer and his creation, and one you should take the time to read. Click on over to R&T for the full story.
