95 Miata Rat Rod project
Need someone younger than me to finish my Rat Rod project.
Complete mechanical and electrical components from a 95 Miata.
This is a running, driving project with 2"x3"x1/8" wall tubular frame rails connecting stock front and rear Miata suspension. It is so stock that all the components can be unbolted and put back in a Miata body if desired.
There is a start of a body which consists of the floorpan, firewall, steering column mount, etc. which can be unbolted from the frame easily and modified as desired or start from scratch.
Use your imagination, add your own body or make a body from scratch - a Track T type body style or maybe a downsized truck body and bed or make a boattail speedster body. Pictures at the end are some cars I found as potential ideas. The T type body pictured is definitely built from a Miata.
Wheel base was lengthened 13" by locating the front axle forward of it's original location.
Good running engine, no check engine errors. Doesn't smoke, leak or make funny noises. 5 speed transmission shifts good.
Good brakes. Good factory 15" wheels and tires. Instruments all work.
Factory wiring harness has unnecessary things deleted, like air bag circuitry etc. Wiring for lights still in place.
Otherwise all wiring is stock and works correctly.
Some spare parts including taillights, steering wheel air bag.
Custom exhaust.
The car is really light and quick after loosing about 1000 lbs.
This car was garage kept most of it's life.
Great open wheel fun and 30 mpg.
Clear open Alabama title.
Please call 205-422-8967 for questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $250 deposit is required within 24 hours. If you don't want the car when you come to
pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my ad expense.

2009-2013 Mazda6 door latch recall covers 161k cars
Mon, 30 Sep 2013Mazda is voluntarily recalling 161,400 Mazda6 cars due to door latch mounting screws that may loosen, which could cause a door to open while the vehicle is in motion, thereby increasing the risk of accident or injury. The recall covers 2009 through 2013 Mazda6 models manufactured between February 4, 2008 and August 24, 2012.
The recall is expected to begin by October 18, 2013. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will provide repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Mazda details diesel prototype at Daytona test
Mon, 06 Jan 2014Diesel has without a doubt become the dominant fuel in the modern era of endurance racing. The 24 Hours of Le Mans has been won under diesel power for the past eight years running, as has every race in the FIA World Endurance Championship since its inauguration in 2012. Yet there will only be one diesel prototype entered in the top tier of the new Tudor United SportsCar Championship this year, and it belongs to Mazda.
The last Japanese manufacturer to win at Le Mans outright, Mazda has been gradually working its way back up the endurance racing ladder once again, following the example set by Audi with diesel power. Last year it campaigned a competition-spec Mazda6 Skyactiv-D in the GX class of the Grand-Am series, but rather than simply port over the existing racer into the new series, it's fielding a new prototype instead, just as it promised a couple of months ago. And now that prototype has hit the track for the first time, prompting Mazda to release its basic specs for the first time.
Tentatively referred to simply as the 2014 Mazda Prototype, the purpose-built racecar is testing this weekend in the Roar Before the 24, the official test session at Daytona that kicks off the racing season. It packs a 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D engine that's based heavily on the production version but tuned to produce 450 horsepower and 580 pound-feet of torque in race trim. Power is channeled through a six-speed sequential transmission from Xtrac, carbon brakes from AP and 18-inch racing slicks from Continental. With the Daytona-spec aero setup, it'll top out at around 186 miles per hour.
