First of its a 1992 Mazda Miata, with the stock 1.6l engine and 5 speed. This car has been a project car for me since I bought it back in 2014. My goal was first a mountain/canyon run car (lived on the west coast at the time) with a solid suspension setup. Then my next goal was going to be power since these cars are so light that adding some boost goes a long way. So after sorting out the chassis I moved on to prepping for a turbo install, that included upgrading the cooling and drivetrain to take the extra power. However since I've moved to Florida the car doesn't really fit with my current goals so I decided its time to sell.
I'm located in the Tampa Florida area. The car has been garaged stored since I moved to Florida (I run it every few months to keep everything tip-top). It has a clean and clear Oregon title.
The car has quite a few mods, most of which were done by me during the time I've had it, and I've always kept it well maintained. I spent a lot of time going through and rebuilding most of the suspension and planned on replacing every part. For the rear refresh I did all new poly bushings, bearings/hubs, and giving everything fresh paint along the way. It's not perfect by any means, but it's always been a fun and nimble car.
Mods:
-Koyo 36mm thick VH060245 radiator
-Silicon water hoses
-Flyin Miata big brake kit (Big Wilwoods up front with 4 piston calipers, 01-05 sport brakes in rear)
-Megan coilovers
-"Frog arm" front chassis brace
- Hard dog hard core roll bar
-Racing beat tubular front swaybar and racing beat rear swaybar
- Prothane polyurethane bushings installed in all rear suspension and differential bushings
- 4.10 torsen rear end from a 1.8l, with new axles and a 1.8 driveshaft. (much stronger than what comes with the 1.6)
-R-package front lip - Also have unprepped side pieces and rear lips which will be included.
-Rear ducktail spoiler
- Quick detach steering wheel
- Some generic pod filter setup
-Aftermarket 15" wheels
- HARDTOP HAS BEEN SOLD AND IS NOT INCLUDED
Maintenance:
- All new fluids
- Timing belt and idler/tensioner done in last 1000 miles
- New water pump
- New accessory belt
- Spark plugs / wires
Parts not installed but included:
- Prothane front bushings
- Tie rod ends
- New front bearing/hubs
Cons:
- Body is not perfect, dents in passenger door, and the previous owner rolled the fenders terribly (looks like the baseball bat method). I tried to straighten out the fender lip with a roller but my plan was always to do either a widebody or flares.
- One tire has a slow air leak, the tires are all pretty old anyways and should be replaced
- Does not have current registration (garage stored)
- When I did the radiator swap I pulled the AC (was before living in florida). It worked perfectly fine before, but you know "because racecar". I still have the condenser, lines, and compressor and will include it all with the car.
Price: I'm looking to sell for $4000
I also have some other new in box parts from this build for sale so feel free to ask!
