Used 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Touring

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Touring Model with Power Retractable Hard Top. VIN JM1NC2MF1B0213727 Mileage on vehicle 66K, total mileage on drive train 28K, driven 7K miles after swap.

Swapped a Camaro LFX 3.6L engine often described as the best engine for a Miata swap. Weighing only 50 pounds more than the stock MX-5 engine, the classic driving performance is preserved.

The design intent was to create a high-performance daily driver while retaining all the creature comforts and safety features included in the original car. Often engine swaps give up many of these features because of the difficulties and technical problems involved. Power Windows, Power Steering, Power Brakes, ABS, Cruise Control, Air Conditioning, and Windshield Washer have been retained. Even Catalytic Converters and evaporative emissions controls were maintained. That said, California emissions qualifications are not claimed.

Consistent with the daily driver mission, the drive train was completed with a GM 6 speed, 6L50 electronically controlled Automatic Transmission mated to a Camaro 3.23 limited slip differential. This transmission is connected to the OEM paddle shifters. A sport performance mode as well as a manual shift mode is included. The transmission electronics were tuned using HP Tuners software to optimize performance for the weight and available power. Sport and Manual shifts are very crisp rivaling the manual transmission performance. To complete the interface, a Tap-N-Cruise GM Body Control Module was added. Besides adding the paddle shift functions, the module adds a cruise control function. A supplemental digital panel displays the transmission and torque converter status, instant MPG, and current engine torque output.

V8 Roadsters supplied engine mounts, drive shaft and half shafts and made the necessary modifications to the front and rear subframes to accept the swap. A KoyoRad High performance radiator keeps the engine temperature under control even during the most spirited driving. New Sanden AC compressor installed to retain AC. A Rev9 Catback Helmholtz Resonator exhaust system designed for a 350Z mates to Flowmaster Racing Catalytic Converters allows a free-flowing exhaust during acceleration yet retains a quiet exhaust note in cruise. A true cold air Intake system keeps hot engine compartment air out of the engine. Internal flow of the intake manifold was improved by adding Laminator FX - Laminar Flow Mod. A GM Hydraulic power steering pump is used. GM E39 ECU with Genuine GM LFX engine harness.

Again, HP Tuners software was used to tune the engine for optimal performance with the free breathing intake and exhaust and premium fuel. Torque schedules were tuned to mate the engine to the vehicle weight and tire performance. Resulting performance yields sub 4.5 second 0-60 times.

Suspension and stance were optimized with MeisterR ZetaCRD Coil Overs designed and engineered for street and track use with focus on ride compliance. Stance lowered by one inch while compliance is stiffened to assure ground clearance. Michelin Pilot-Sport All Season Radials provide traction and handling. Bosch High performance brake pads and Stainless-Steel Braided Brake Lines.

The interior features Custom Leather Seats with Alcantara inserts. The drivers seat is height adjustable and has been lowered an additional inch for taller drivers. The GMLAN has been fully integrated with the Mazda CANBUS resulting in a functioning instrument panel. The only exception being the trip MPG does not function. Steering Wheel switches for paddle shifters, cruise control, and radio controls are all functional. Windshield Wiper control was upgraded to an RX8 control with intermittent operation and

functioning washer. A 10 Android display panel supports the Torque App, FM Radio and GPS, Rear View Camera.

Body modifications include a SmartTOP Roof Top Control - One Touch Power Roof Module, dual engine hood gas assist lift kit, English style roadster grill and custom side decals.

Complete set of 2011 MX-5 shop manuals and wiring diagrams and a complete set of 2012 Camaro shop manuals are included. Also includes MX-5 and Camaro Operators Manuals.

Blemishes include small black stain on passenger seat Alcantara insert and half dollar sized discoloration in clearcoat on the hood. As far as I know, this has always been a Florida car and has never seen road salt. Car has no damage history.
