V8 MAZDA MIATA on the street and at the drag strip
Finishing off my tires
Looks like a wicked fun car, isn't 11.93 kind of slow for that though?

[American Psycho]

I dont like it. My buddy jesse has a sleeper 94 Ls1 miata. Looks gay as any miata. but nice sleeper.

Car is extremely reliable, and is inspected until I think 08/08. Just turned 1k miles on the swap. LS1 setup has approx 43k on it.

Problems -

Leather seats are a bit worn
Exterior shows the age of a 13 year car. It's not awful, but it's not a show car.
Exhaust is a little loud for some.
Pretty much need to be 25+ to insure it, unless you don't mind taking a possible 100% loss in the event of an accident.
The Ford rear has some whine. Swap gears to fix it, I never bothered. Only noticeable at low RPM in high gear. Highway speeds in top gear, can't hear it.
CEL is on, car has no rear O2 sensors (don't need them.)
No AC
No PS (car literally is very easy to drive without because of the weight.)
I can, however, include every piece you need to install all of it!




Asking 16k. Car is 1 of 8 I'm aware of that are on the road, and the ONLY M-Edition period. M-Edition is #558 of 3,003 ever made. Serious head-turner and show stopper, it's a shame I'm considering selling, but I cannot afford to take a total loss in the event of an accident.

Serious interest only. No daydreamers, and no comments please regarding the situation. If you're interested, I'll show you the car. Want to drive it? Put a down payment on it. I've gone through this before with daydreamers, and it's annoying how many people just want to drive it.

[Unit91RS]
