Car is just too much fun. Have decided to keep it. No longer for sale.
I want to finish remodeling my house more than I need my toy, so the Miata is up for sale.
It’s a California car. Lots of tiny dings and paint chips, a scuff on the nose, but no major dents and the only rust ANYWHERE on the body is light, surface-only in a few of the tiny chips. Bought it from a dealer in CA two years ago and it’s been garaged through the winters.
I have the clean title for this car in hand. No liens.
Previous owner was an old nurse who listened to new age music and drove it to church (I found her gray hair, name tag, a cd she left in the head unit, and her bingo cards and church flyers when I had the interior out).
89k miles. Was automatic, but I swapped out the transmision for a manual.
I thought the engine was consuming coolant, but since replacing radiator the problem has completely disappeared. Old one was leaky.
New this year:
New timing belt and water pump
All-aluminum radiator
ACT XTSS Clutch
ACT ProLite flywheel
NAPA rotors
Hawk HPS pads
Energy Suspension bushing kit
Redline fluids in transmission and differential
Frame rail braces
Soft top (glass window, zipperless)
New radiator hoses
Stainless brake lines
Mazdaspeeed motor mounts
Optional Extras (currently installed, I will remove and replace with stock if you don’t want them or we can’t agree on a price):
Boss Frog Dual Hoop roll bar
Enkei RPF1 wheels (perfect, one has a single 2mm scratch on it. Zero curb rash) w/ Azenis
Aftermarket suspension (NB Illumina shocks, NB mounts, FatCat bushings, Ground Control bumpstops)
