'94 Mazda Miata M-Edition. Montego Blue with tan top, tan/black leather interior with baller-ass wood grain shift knob and E-brake :naughty:
1 of 3,003 ever made. Drove it back from Delaware after I sold the DSM.
Anywho,
the car will be getting an LS1/T56 swap. I’ll be using the Aeromotive AFPR and Supra TT pump out of the DSM, and I’ll be using a custom cooling system that I’ll probably piece together out of Summit. The rear end will be a Ford 8.8 IRS, 31-spline, if I could ever find one. Apparently they’re out of '03-up Cobra’s, and '02-up Explorers. Axles are custom pieces that mate the Ford diff to the Miata hubs. The axles are heat treated and rated to 550 ft. lb of torque. The exhaust will be custom headers (1 5/8" primaries) Y’ed into a single 3.5" exhaust (simply because I already have the piping and mufflers laying around.)
Only plans for the car, “mod” wise, are the 3.5" exhaust, some sort of intake with a K&N that I’ll throw together, MAYBE an LS6 intake manifold, some sort of tune, and a small shot of nitrous (75 or 100.) And, of course, sticky tires.
As of right now, the car is stock, with the exception of the Hard Dog rollbar I put in last week. Got it on sale for $385 shipped to my door. The car gets more looks and compliments than the DSM ever did. Handles better, too. But Christ, it is pathetically slow.
On to the pics. The first are when I was in Delaware getting it. The headlight covers have since been fixed. They just needed “bent” back out a hair. It was like someone was leaning on them or something? I don’t know, but the covers line up perfect with the hood now.
I also removed the trunk rack. Thankfully, it didn’t bolt on. It had a “clamp” around the end of the trunk lid. A good buff, and then a wax, took all the marks away.
