I'm the second owner of this beautiful show stopper of a car and it's with great sadness I have to sell after only 10 mos. of ownership. A serious leg injury has made it impossible for me to drive a clutch so my loss will definitely be your gain. With only 3,500 of these made in original production in 1995 this is a rare find! This car has truly been pampered as my pictures indicate. The original owner had it garage kept and it was strictly a weekend car as you can see from the low mileage of 40,343. I've only put 445 miles on it during the time I've owned it . It is the 5 speed manual transmission Limited Edition MX-5 , color: Merlot Mica, (deep burgundy) with the "Popular Equipment Package" that includes power steering, ABS, power door mirrors, power windows, power antenna, cruise control, AC, leather seats, steering wheel and Nardi shifter. In addition other original options that are included are 15" BBS wheels, CD player with 4 speakers, radio, AC, like new carpeted M edition floor mats, tonneau and boot covers, luggage rack, stainless steel sill plates with M edition stamping.Also added was a Clifford Alarm System. I also have the original owners and shop manuals along with maintenance records going back to date of purchase. I will also include a car cover. The original owner, although a retired, older gentleman, fancied himself a racing enthusiast and installed several after market options including a pop up racing fuel cap, special shocks, springs, sway bar, all to the tune of about $2000. From what I understand he never actually raced the car. He was a perfectionist and would bring his own oil and filter to each service and wouldn't allow the "Next Service Due" sticker to be placed on the window! That will give you an idea of how this car has been babied and I've kept up the tradition for the short, but wonderful, time I've owned.  I will truly miss this car!!  

The car drives great, shifts smoothly, has no rattles or creaks, no rust or scratches, and the only defects are a very few small blemishes on the paint, wear to the drivers seat on the side from the seat belt rubbing, some minor corrosion on 2 of the BBS rims. All are defects that you have to really look for to actually see. They certainly don't detract from the look and feel of this wonderful little roadster.

Serious bidders only please. $1000 deposit, via PayPal, due immediately upon sale. Local delivery only unless buyers provides shipping.

Will the Mazda2 be offered as a PHEV with a rotary engine range extender?

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.
Martin Benders, managing director of Mazda in Australia, spoke to Motoring about the company's future with hybrids and basically reiterated what the CEO said last year. The Japanese automaker only plans to offer electrified powertrains in places where they can sell in sufficient numbers to be profitable, like Japan.
Mazda has been playing with the rotary range-extender idea for years. In the RE prototype, the engine was exclusively used to charge the lithium-ion batteries when they were running low, and a 100-horsepower electric motor provided all of the propulsion. It gave the little hatch an estimated range of about 250 miles. The company reportedly took inspiration from its Skyactiv engines to make the Wankel have lower friction and a lighter weight.

Miata driver pulls off hilariously diabolical move in fender-to-fender racing

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Racing is all about finding the little advantages over competitors that allow you to get ahead. Sometimes those are legitimate means - like being able to take advantage of a better line through a corner - and other times drivers get a little more creative for a leg up over opponents. Sometimes things might even go a little too far. Case in point: just watch the opening of this Mazda MX-5 Cup race from Silverstone in the UK.
According to the YouTube description, we're riding with James Rogers in this video, and he appears to be pretty talented behind the wheel. Rogers has a great start from fifth that has him in third within just a few corners. He starts stalking the top two drivers, who are already having a fantastic race themselves, but then we see that the person in second is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to win. Just watch the video, and you'll see what we mean. Bravo (?) to that racer for some very quick, albeit fiendish, thinking.

Next Mazdaspeed3 could go naturally aspirated?

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

The new Mazda3 is a stunner, both aesthetically and from a driving perspective. As with all good things, though, there's always room for improvement. That's where the wizards from Mazdaspeed come in. Mazda's in-house tuner has been tweaking and turbocharging the five-door Mazda3 since 2007, with impressive results.
We've shown you renderings of what the third-generation Mazdaspeed3 could look like, and for the most part your response was quite positive. Now, AutoExpress has come out with details of just what might be under that long hood. According to our friends across the pond, the new Mazda3 MPS (that's what the Speed3 is called in Her Majesty's auto industry) will be arriving with a new, high-revving, naturally aspirated engine. Wait, what?
Yes, if the rumors are to be believed, the next Mazdaspeed3 will ditch its turbocharger. According to an anonymous engineer, the new MS3 will arrive in December (this is for the UK market, mind you) with a 200-horsepower, naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter mill is based on the Skyactiv engine in the new 3, and should be capable of a sub-seven-second run to 62 miles per hour.
