SamNavy is selling his '93
No AC or PS.
Power nothing.
Paint is 5/10. It looks good for a few weeks after a good wax. It was repainted in about ’97 and the previous owner did not believe in wax. I keep it looking good, but it’s an effort. The gel-coat is very thin. It’s been hit in the left rear-bumper slightly, with a small crack and spidercracking in the top of the bumper on that side… filled pretty good with paint and nobody gives it a second look. There are a few small paint "things" most of which are in the Photobucket pictures. Body panels are all 9.5/10 for dings. I can’t off-hand recall a ding anywhere, but there might be one.
Both the stock undertray and the stock nose air-funneler have been removed. There is a piece of sheet-metal to help with airflow that connects the bottom of the bumper with the IC.
Interior looks very good. Carpet under drivers floormat is a little ragged, but other than that dash/doors/center console all in great shape. Leather seat-covers are 15yrs old and definitely worn, but no tears of consequence. Steering wheel is lowered approx 2” for use with my custom seat, which can come with the car if you want it, but I will provide the car with stock (foamectomy’d) seat in place. Parking handle mod. Dead pedal. Package shelf removed to allow seats to lay back further, but included in sale.
The top is old and has some very small tears that don’t leak. The plastic has a small crack that doesn’t leak and are easy repairs with any vinyl repair goo. In heavy rain, the side-rail leaks around the window and drips on your arm. Top-latches work perfect.
Trunk is very clean, good spare/jack, and solid battery

There are probably a few things I’m forgetting, will update as I remember.
The previous motor started as a full bandaid setup, made 180whp, swapped to Megasquirt and shortly after blew the HG at 150k. “New” motor out of a ’93 driven by little old lady on 80mile commutes, compression 215-208-210-210 with 258k miles. I bought it from one of the local Miata autocross gurus. I’ve had it boosted for about 5k-6k miles and just burns a little oil (light smoking about 2 minutes after startup when something gets hot) but never after it’s been hot for about 5minutes. It goes through about a quart every 1500miles... most of that through a leaky front main seal. It puts down a single drop every night on the garage floor, but I know it leaks a little more on the road. Last dyno run it made 200whp spiking to 14psi dropping to 12psi by redline. It runs 15psi all the way to redline now… SOTP say 220-230whp. It’s daily driven at 8psi on wastegate, probably in the 170whp range, EBC (via dash switch) comes on for merging and occasional antics. I drive it WELL AWARE of the stock 6” dif. I do not drag or drift, and am very consious about how hard I use the clutch. I think the $25 per quart gear oil in it may also be contributing to its’ longevity.
Needs a minor alignment, pulls very slightly left between about 30-60mph. Tires on car are brand new 195/50/14 Zeix 512’s on factory ’97 wheels. Wheels cosmetically are 8/10. I'm babying it now on these tires... the thing really needs 205's at least to match the power. For my asking price I will include FREE a set of 15x6.5" Konig Heliums with balding Toyo Proxes T1R's that you can throw on a set of 205/50/15 Falken Azenis which are the #1 aftermarket tire/wheel combo for a Miata.
I daily drive the car, it’s my primary transportation, but I’m also a 3-car family, so I’ve got a backup vehicle. Mazda BP motors were designed from the ground up as a forced induction engine... but this thing does have some miles on it. The stock 6" rear dif was never meant to handle this kind of power either... so I treat it with respect. It will last forever if you're mindful of it... or the 94+ 7" Miata differential is a direct swap and will handle 400+whp. I also am including the original partially disassembled motor for free… the head needs resurfacing, and once re-assembled, should go right back in.
Learning how the MS software works so you can tune the thing is your responsibility. I haven't made a tune change in over 6 months. It’s currently running the “Hybrid” spark map that’s widely used among mitaturbo forum-members, and the overall AFR tune is a very conservative 11.5-12.0. The Innovate Motorsports LC1 Wideband is a fantastic tool for tuning if you ever feel the need. You’ll need a laptop w/serial port or USB-adapter and a couple programs downloadable off the internet that I can provide. I’ll include the LC1 box and Logworks software CD as well. In it's current tune, I've never gotten less than 24mpg. I routinely get 26-27 even boosting the crap out of. It will get well over 30mpg on a long freeway drive. Cruise fuel cell tuning is about 15:1 and can be leaned out safely into the 17:1 range... 35mpg on an extended freeway trip is completely possible.
Currently with clean Florida title and registered there (I make no statement whatsoever about the car’s ability to pass emissions. It has no cat and several pieces of factory smog equipment removed).
Overall, the car is really damn fast. At 2150lbs and 230whp, you can do the math... but any stock Mustang/Camaro/350Z/S2000/STi/EVO/anything FWD... gonna be behind you the instant you hit boost in 2nd. The Miata is legendary on the track, and this car has the suspension and power to roll over just about anything short of a fully set-up track car.

GLWS Sam, I know this has to be tough, but IIRC you're getting an NB as a replacement, no?
Only thing I'd recommend is putting some loom on those wires, I see they're tied out of the way but it'd make things cleaner underhood.

Thats a clean car man. Why sell it? You will be hard bent to find another one that nice. And you'll have to start over. And now you have an excuse for internals.
But I understand. Sometimes change is nice.
Good Luck!

My drag day in Richmond isn't going to happen. This thing is seriously for sale now. It's going on Craigslist as we speak.

474 hits and not a single one of you guys wants this car. If it's price... then PM and we'll see what we can see. It's gonna be a shame to dismantle this car. I promise I'll sell everything on eBay and not give any deals to the forum, so somebody talk to me!
