Granny's Speedshop supplied the kit and I and my brother in law (a professional SoCal auto mechanic) built it at his shop, Brothers Automotive, in Huntington Beach, CA. The engine was purchased as a long block rebuild. Modifications were limited to a California smog legal Edelbrock cam and intake manifold. The 700R4 transmission was professionally inspected before installation. The car is registered and insured in Arizona but has been sitting. It has been driven about 500 miles since engine installation. The tach and speedo are not hooked up. The battery is in a stock well in the trunk at the very back of the car. Work was stopped on this project by a windfall chance to build a Factory Five Cobra and once you've done that, this engine swap pales in comparison. Effort was made to have the swap be Ca smog legal to no avail. In other words, the Chevy computer is from a 1990 Firebird and the engine was not hot rodded to my dream. That's your opportunity. Seats and top were redone about 6 years ago. This 23 year old car has defects, as you can see. The fiberglas hood bump was added to the aluminum hood to accomodate the stock air cleaner that was required for smog. The car now has an after market cleaner and thus clears the standard hood that I do NOT have. As you can see, the top cover and its case are with the car in good shape. You will also get the books.

Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
Mazda3 celebrates 10 happy years
Tue, 25 Jun 2013Mazda is on the cusp of unveiling an all-new Mazda3, but the compact will mark an important milestone before that happens. The very first Mazda3 rolled off of the assembly line on June 25, 2003. A decade later, the little car has snagged some 136 awards. The first generation sold 2.2 million units over the span of six years, and the second has smiled its way into the hearts of 1.4 million buyers since 2009. Mazda notes the machine even took the honor of being the top-selling passenger car in Australia in 2011 and 2012.
So, what will the future bring? The Japanese automaker is keeping the details to itself for the moment. From the spy photos we've seen, it looks as if the new design will fall under the company's new Kodo design philosophy. That same language brought us the perilously sexy Mazda6, and the new Mazda3 should be no less attractive. You can check out those photos here.

Feds investigating 2010-11 Mazda CX-9 CUVs over braking issues
Mon, 17 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 62,000, 2010-2011 Mazda CX-9 models over brake problems. The government safety watchdog says it has received seven complaints of an observed loss of power braking power to stop the crossover, according to the The Detroit News.
The NHTSA complaints say that the problem causes a hard pedal, increased braking effort and reduced braking effectiveness. Some complaints allege that they hear a hissing noise during braking similar to the sound of air leaving the tires. No injuries or crashes have been reported.
"As always, we are fully cooperating with NHTSA on their investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," said Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to The Detroit News.
