I have a 1990 Mazda Miata for sale, in USA - North Carolina.

Mileage: 133000 miles
Engine Size: 1.6L


Asking price is $5500



The car was built to be run on a road course (VIR) by an instructor/time-trial participant familiar with the demands that it places on a car to hold up to 30 minutes of being driven at full bore having spent a lot of time reading about all the problems folks have tracking a Miata that is not modified properly and engineering the modifications to it to cope with them.

To that point:
Custom VMount intercooler and the biggest and thickest domestic V8 radiator that could be fit in the engine bay for maximum cooling. Starion intercooler modified to fit VMIC configuration. Coolant reroute and custom plumbing done as well. You can even install the A/C and it will still run cool (the VMIC engineering copied and scaled for a Miata from my RX-7 turbo which barely gets warm and are notorious for cooling issues).
