94 Miata with R package is kind of sought after among autoXers… They made the R in 95 as well. Both have the 1.8, are OBD-I vehicles, still have the NA styling, but have sought after “modifications” factory (although it doesn’t take much coin to get these aftermarket anyways!)
94 and 95 M edition is also there for the old bald men with no real balls to do anything serious anymore.
Which is why I guess I was close to buying one…
See below
The 1994 R package is a Base 1994 Miata with higher rate springs, special shocks, [different sized] anti-sway bars, torsen limited slip, and spoilers on the chin and trunklid. Air conditioning is the only available option.
The 1994 M Edition is a Montego Blue 1994 B Package Miata with polished aluminum wheels.
In 1995 The A,B and C package designations were dropped in favor of prefered equipment packages. Little change was made from the 1994 Model. The R model continues.
