Up for auction is my 1990 Mazda Miata with a 5.0 V8 conversion, better known as a Monster Miata. This vehicle was purchased last year as a project vehicle top turn into a track car. Unfortunately because of health and finances, I am forced to sell this cool car. The car has a salvage title, for some fender bender years ago, but was taken care of at the time. The title is free and clear. The swap used many, but not all, parts from the Monster Miata Kit. The engine is from a 1992 Mustang 5.0. The engine was rebuilt to stock specs and has hardly passed the break in mileage. The transmission is a T5 manual, which is mated to a 7.5" Thunderbird rear end. The body has a real nice unknown body kit, as well as good looking 17" wheels with very good tires. All brakes are stock, however I will include the some 1.8l brakes and brackets to upgrade. The car is not currently running just because I removed the intake manifold to upgrade, but then decided against it, and just didnt get the old one back on. The air conditioning and heater were removed and are not available. The convertible top is included, frame is good, top is bad. The car also has a 4 point rollbar. I have all of the interior pieces available. Also the seats are included, just not pictured at this time. I will post a link to a video of the car running, as well as numerous pictures. This car will make an incredibly fun project for someone. Personally I wanted to strip it all down, paint it matte black, and go race it. The conversion is not cheap to do, and this car could be up and running in two days. I MAY get it running before the end of the auction for the winner. If there are any other questions I can answer, please ask, and I will do the best I can. I can also take additional pictures if needed.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata to be revealed on September 3 [w/video]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Now in its 25th year and on the market in its current form since 2005, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has been due for replacement for some time now. A mid-life facelift helped things along some in 2008, but the moment that roadster enthusiasts have been anxiously awaiting is almost upon us.
Mazda has now confirmed that the 2016 MX-5 will be officially unveiled on September 3 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca just ahead of the "Miatas at Mazda Raceway" event, where the Japanese automaker will also display "an array of heritage, concept and motorsports MX-5s," just as it did alongside the upcoming new roadster's Skyactiv chassis at the New York Auto Show.
Not to leave the European and Asian markets out of the fun, Mazda will simultaneously unveil the new Miata in Spain and Japan as well. But in the meantime you can view the teaser video and press release below to keep that excitement drummed up.
Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Mazda planning 'aggressive' dealer shakeup
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Mazda has set an ambitious goal of selling 400,000 units by the end of the 2015 Japanese fiscal year in March 2016, and to do that, it's going to need to take some aggressive action. That means that underperforming members of its 637-showroom strong dealer network are about to get the axe.
The purge won't just be limited to dealers that aren't performing, though. Mazda will seek to consolidate poorly located dealers and build new showrooms in better locations. It still isn't clear how many dealers are being targeted or at what point Mazda would end its cull.
This consolidation of dealers is all part of a one-two punch for the Japanese brand, that will also see increased marketing efforts in 35 key areas. Of those markets, Mazda is placing a special emphasis on New York and LA, although there's not much mention of what other regions are being looked at.
