I hate to do this but I’m sick of looking at it. No shop, no ambition, no time, car has to go.

1995 Miata, British racing green rotary swap project;

Chassis:  
is in decent shape, there is a dent on the passenger quarter panel from where I punched it and frame rails are bent from being too low and driving up and down my driveway. I cut a hole in the tranny tunnel to clean the transmission that will need to be patched. Other than that there are the few scratches and shit you’d expect from a 15 year old paint job.

Shit that comes with it:

Stock Subframe  
V8 Roadsters tubular subframe with custom FC 13B mounts  
Modified oil pan to clear steering rack  
converted power -\> manual steering rack (actually converted not just depowered)  
Complete but in pieced S5 N/A 13B  
Hybrid Miata/RX-7 transmission, input shaft needs to be machined  
Black hardtop  
Tein Basic coilovers  
Black Sparco Sprint Jr. And both stock seats  
Simpson 5 pt. harness  
Racing Beat IDA intake manifold  
Stock rad and FC rad  
Stock pop-up lights  
Stock wheels  
WRX fuel pump

Shit the car needs to run:

There is no wiring harness, one will need to be made/ordered/salvaged.  
Carb or fuel injection of some variety  
Exhaust  
Better rad or make the FC one fit  
0po

Other shit:

Car has no HVAC system anymore but there is a marine blower setup to blow on the wind screen.

Basically started this project, lots of shit happened, can’t finish it. I failed, but you can succeed!

Located in London, Ontario, Canada

Yes, before the tubular subframe, because of how short and fat the rotary is it was either chopping up the subframe or making some clearance in the tranny tunnel.

Are you interested in parting out ? If so how much for the front subframe ?
