Rare Clean Modified Mazdaspeed Sedan Upgraded Turbo Gray Metallic Custom Stereo on 2040-cars
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, United States
2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege Production number 1250 of 2750. Hello and thank you for your interest in my Mazdaspeed Protege! I purchased the car January of 2010 from a dealer to drive it to and from work and college. I fell in love with it when I first saw it and tied the knot after the test drive :D. I have been enjoying this beast for the past few years and sadly it is time to let it go. This has been my weekend/project car for the last year after I bought my Dodge Magnum. I am selling this car because I made a dramatic career switch and can't afford to have two cars and the Magnum suits my needs better. When I bought it there was already a lot of work done to it and I have done a whole lot more. I have spent over $15,000 on it not including original purchase price. Highlights include:
Mechanical parts list:
Electrical/Stereo:
Other details: Tag Expires Dec 31 2014 Delaware. Currently the car drives great with the exception of 1 issue. While under moderate to full throttle and at 54-5500rpm and boost it seems to buck or hiccup. I believe this can be solved through tuning the air/fuel ratio with the PSC-1. However it is throwing the P0300 and P0335 codes which point to a crankshaft position sensor problem. I have no time or money to troubleshoot or fix that. I have the PSC-1 tuned to run the car rich until you tune it yourself (instructions included) or have a professional tune it. Other than that the new turbo spools up fast and pulls strong you just can't floor it until it is tuned and that issue is fixed. Also Including: The manuals from the majority of the aftermarket parts including all the tuning related equipment and some service manuals. Pre-cut 20% tint for all windows. Assorted accessories/spare parts. I will provide limited technical support through email or phone for 30 days after I have received payment and provided that you are polite and friendly. This is a huge value since I know every square inch of the car. Important: Buyer is responsible for picking up the vehicle or arranging and paying for transportation of vehicle to buyer. I will travel up to 25 miles to meet you. Sale is final, no refunds, no return. Payment is due within 36 hours after end of auction. |

Mazda hard at work on Skyactiv 2 engine technology
Wed, 08 Jan 2014As Mazda continues the current rollout of its still-new Skyactiv technology, the automaker is already looking at improving its family of engines for even better fuel economy and emissions reductions. Automotive News reports that with stricter fuel economy and emissions regulations planned for 2020 and 2025 in Europe, Mazda will likely release engines with next-generation Skyactiv 2 technology by the end of this decade, and Skyactiv 3 units just five years later.
The latter is expected to focus on improved engine cooling and lessening energy losses, but the big news in AN's report is that the next-gen Skyactiv 2 engines will use Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI. This type of ignition is very similar to how a diesel engine operates (with high compression and using the compression stroke for fuel combustion rather than spark plugs), a method said to provide a cleaner and more efficient fuel burn - to the tune of a 30-percent improvement in fuel economy compared to current Skyactiv engines. Other automakers, including Hyundai, have already announced they are developing HCCI powerplants with similar technology and characteristics, so Mazda likely won't be a lone wolf here.
Equipped with HCCI technology, Mazda figures to be able to compete with larger automakers in terms of fuel economy and emissions without resorting to hybrid powertrains, continuously variable transmissions or automatics relying on more forward gears (eight or more) for optimal efficiency. Some of the challenges of HCCI, according to AN, include the need for better engine cooling, risk of misfire at high and low rpm and uneven engine performance based on fuel properties.
Mazda reports strong Skyactiv sales, plans to boost output 25%
Tue, 27 Aug 2013Mazda is set to expand production of its Skyactiv engines after critical and commercial acclaim for the fuel-sipping powerplants. The Japanese manufacturer has a number of plans in the works to bump up production, with the first being a 25-percent increase in output from its Hiroshima, Japan engine facility.
Besides adding a new line, Mazda will modify the line that built MZR engines, a family of mills that includes the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Mazdaspeed3 and the 2.0-liter found in the MX-5 Miata. The bump in production is just part of Mazda's goal of selling 1.7 million vehicles globally by 2016, with 80 percent of those vehicles expected to wear a Skyactiv badge.
Mazda also builds Skyactiv engines at a joint-venture facility with Ford, in Changan, China, while a Mexican facility will go online by March of 2014. Skyactiv engines currently power the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.
2015 Mazda3 interior spied for the first time
Wed, 08 May 2013In terms of exterior appearance, not much has changed from the last time we spotted the next-generation Mazda3 out testing. Oh, sure - we can see plenty of details that clearly show the new Kodo design influence (that front end reminds us a whole lot of the sleek new Mazda6), but these latest round of spy shots don't really show us anything we haven't seen before. Oh, wait, yes they do - the interior.
Feast your eyes on the Mazda3's insides, showing a vastly reworked interior that also takes cues from the automaker's most recently refreshed products. We can see that there's a simple, clean center stack with a slim row of heating and cooling functions, and up top there's a large, presumably touchscreen display, with redundant controls found just aft of the shifter.
We expect that the 2015 Mazda3 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, packing both petrol and diesel engines. A sedan variant is also in the works, and should debut shortly after the hatchback.
