Message I bought this car with 0 miles on the motor and turbos almost 3 years ago, and have put less than 8000 miles on it, a good chunk of which was driving to Texas for ZCON 06. My automotive interests have been pulling me in a different direction, and though I will always have a love for these cars, it is time to part with mine. The car has ~ 154k miles, but the engine, turbos, suspension, etc. all have less than 8k. The cams, cam gears, and radiator probably have about 6-700 miles on them tops. I have autocrossed the car 3-4 times, and did a session and a half at the ZCON 06 lapping day.

I also have most of the original tan interior that I pulled out to swap to charcoal, as well as several additional charcoal/tweed pieces that came from another car. I have a spare PS t-top that is red.

The not-so-good:

There is a rattle behind the timing covers that I am 95% sure is due to the metal inner covers being bent where the upper idler pulley goes through, but I haven't had the time or desire to deal with it.

The body needs to be repainted. In addition to the common spoiler rot, there are a few scratches and blotches in the paint that necessitate a respray.

The PS rear window had the clips for the trim piece broken off. I have a new window with the clips, along with an almost new KurumaZ molding kit that need to be installed.

The DS t-top needs to have the metal swapped to the original white piece (the one on the car is red). I bought a replacement set of t-tops after my DS t-top got ran over at an autocross. The metal side was fine, but all the glass was shatterered, and I haven't gotten around to swapping the pieces back over.


I am taking reasonable offers. Obviously the car will need some work to be pristine, and if you want to realize the full potential of the motor and turbos, it will need to be professionally tuned. I will also consider partial trades for a 94+ miata w/ a Torsen rear end, or for an AP1 S2000.
