I’ll be buying a house this summer and want to get back into one car as I will also be getting a bike this summer. A miata just isn’t practical for a dd right now. I bought this car last april and drove it home from Sacramento California. This car has never seen a winter and is 99% rust free. Motor now has about 10-15k miles on it. The milage on the car itself is 72,317 miles. There are less miles on the turbo than on the motor. Currently the car is at 16psi making around **285whp** , at 18psi it puts down around **307-310whp** on e85. The timing on the e85 tune is rather conservative right now and can be tweaked a bit adding more power. The car is currently set with the 93 octane tune for sitting over the winter. The car runs really well, and idles better than stock. Except with ac on\*\*\* At stops it does want to nearly die on you but if you feather the gas a little it won’t stutter. This is only at idle with the ac on. If you’r cruising with ac on and toss it in neutral foot off the gas the needle will sit at idle and not move, just as if the car was sitting still and ac off. There is a fix for this that can be found on the miata forums. It didn’t really bother me that much to look into it. This car really is an absolute joy to drive and I hate to let it go… Here is the mod list as it was when I bought the car. **UNDERHOOD:** honed block 9.1:1 pistons m-tuned rods chrom-moly rings new headgasket all new seals/gaskets/etc new water pump/timing belt new serpentine belts coolant re-route kit new radiator BEGi turbo manifold Godspeed 3076 .86 a/r 4" inlet turbo internal wastegate stainless turbo feed line custom welded oil return into oilpan custom 3" downpipe custon heat shield off brand strut tower bar custom 3" mandrel exhaust with 6x18 cannister and 2 big resonators custon 2.5" aluminum front mount intercooler kit GM ait sensor forge blow off valve nxs manual boost controller Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors Walbro 255HP fuel pump ACT hdg6 6-puck sprung clutch kit All new fluids/oil/coolant (few months old) **ROLLERS:** Raceland Coilovers TRMotorsport 15x9 +36 wheels (almost new) 205/50/16 tires **INSIDE:** megasquirt DIYPNP with ms2-extra firmware internal MAp sensor hardwired tuning cable (removable) Autometer boost gauge AEM uego wideband o2 kit (hardwired into MS) MOMO JDM rx7 fd3s steering wheel Pioneer head unit (lights up same color as speedometer) **OUTSIDE:** OEM hardtop with defroster and headliner Kee soft top with glass window (less than 3 years old now. Does have a tiny hole below the glass that I sealed up. Does not leak) blacked out 03 Miata projector headlights Xentec HID kit 6000k Red out tail lights 03 Miata front bumper Optional equipment Front lip Optional side skirts OEM rear mud flaps smoked emblems OEM 01+ Mazda Miata “crisp white” paint job The car now has Bridgestone Potenza RE-11’s that came off the car I had before this. They have at least 50-60% tread left. I also put in a brand new FM Level 2 clutch in June when I had to replace the trans. It is good for 353hp. The bad: Paint isn’t perfect, there is some chipping at the top of the drivers door. I believe it was due to poor prep from whoever painted it. It is not noticeable unless pointed out but should be looked into. The car also has a minor coolant leak coming from the coolant re-rout. When I bought the car it came with an - ebay coolant re-rout that was way to difficult to get at with the motor in the car. It leaked like a mother fucker so I went with a M-Tuned coolant re-route kit that I purchased from Flyin’ Miata. I thought it solved the issue but put the car away soon after. The leak is nowhere near what is was before but I did notice some drips when I went to start the car last time. I’m sure it’s just not sealing properly. You have to convert it back to na for emissions inspection. All the parts needed to do this will be included. I’m willing to help you convert it to stock and back to turbo again for the first time you get the car inspected. I know my way around the car, doesn’t take to long at all. 🙂 **Extra parts:** I have a mazdaspeed miata rear end and axles sitting in my shed. I had purchased them for 1k that I will work into the price. I believe they had 20-30k miles on them so they are relatively new. I also have a greddy turbo timer I was to lazy to install, I’ll toss that in as I will never use it. I always had let the car run a bit before I shut it down. **Price:** I bought the car last year for a little under 10k, I’m looking to get 9k for it. I don’t have to sell the car right now and was actually looking to drive it till I get my own place. I’ll let it go sooner for my asking price, if not I’ll drive it when the salt clears.

Thanks guys. Only trade would be a 04 to 06 330ci with the 6speed. After I sell this car I’ll pull the trigger on one. Also will be getting rid of my 328i after the miata is gone. ---

love everything about this Miata. Sounds nasty, definitely has power for a tiny ass car. You will without a doubt be happy as hell every time you step on the gas. I personally have been around this car and man does it look clean. GLWS! ---

Thanks again guys for all the compliments. > [@pirite](#): > > already? damn dude. I need to get my priorities straight. I was having second thoughts when I was making this thread, hate to let this car go. I’m going on 27 and still living at home… I’ll get the milage on my way to work, the car is currently in a friends garage.
