****UPDATE 4/20/23: CAR IS OFFICIALLY SOLD. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INTEREST AND THANKS, APEX SPEED.****
*********************************
This is a 2002 Formula Mazda. I acquired it in January 2021. I believe I am the third owner. I have the logbooks going back to when it was new. It was a 2003 and 2005 National Champion, and 5x NYSRRC Champion.
I bought it from a gentleman who had to retire from racing due to personal circumstances, and the car had been sitting unused in his garage for awhile. Per his report and the logbooks, it was last raced in 2010 (a race it won, by the way). I had intended to do the necessary updating (fuel cell, seatbelts, minor maintenance stuff) to get it ready to track, but never got around to it. Unfortunately, my own life circumstances have not permitted me the time I thought I would have to use the car, so it is time for it to go to someone who will be able to enjoy it.
The car has a sealed engine. The engine and transmission have around 210 hours on them. It runs and drives fine from what I can tell. The extent of my use has been driving it up and down my neighborhood street every couple months just to keep things in the engine and transmission lubricated. The fuel cell needs replacement. The seatbelts are out of date. The tires need replacement. Otherwise, I don't think it needs a whole lot to be track-ready. If it were me, I would give it a good going-through and probably rebuild all four brake calipers, replace older lines/hoses/etc, but nothing major. It has a new battery, fresh oil/filter, and last year I swapped out the front aluminum calipers for spare steel ones I had when I noticed the RF caliper starting to stick. I replaced both the front and rear brake master cylinders at that time as well. Cosmetically it's not perfect. The fiberglass side panels show areas of prior work, and the paint shows evidence of track use with tire marks/chips/etc.
The sale includes an open-style tow trailer with newer tires and wheel bearings. I am also including the following spares: an extra set of wheels, freshly painted front nose cone, spare nose frame assembly, quick jack, spare belly pan, two spare aluminum calipers (at least one in need of rebuild), weigh scale pad platforms, alignment bars, and a few other small miscellaneous items in a box.
Asking $11,500. PM me with any questions or for email/phone. The car is in Sarasota, FL. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Thanks for looking!
