What to look for?
Hey everyone,
i am relatively new to the site and had a question.
I am thinking of buying a 1.6l Miata 1990-1993, because my friend who just graduated from UTI says it is an affordable car that has many after market parts. I would be looking to drop a turbo from bell engineering into it, and doing new injectors and cooling systems... but now to the question!
What should i really look out for Pro's and Cons?

However, some people are outrageous B6 purists and will never swap motors. Those people are crazy and need professional help

check for rust in the trunk under the battery, under the tray to the left. under the doors near the frame rails, next to the wheel wells. see if there is a leak of any kind, check the dip stock for shiny particles of metal. drive the car(beat on it), go through all the gears ( reverse also ). tell the owner not to warm it up before you go to look for it. if it doesn't have a ***** shifter don't buy it.
