Wish I could ****** it up. I'd trade my 95 for that one.

Fucked up miata parts perhaps. who knows what wont be scraped to ----...

Aaron, whats so great about that miata? It scares me that he doesnt list a spark management system at all, just the fuel regulator.

Nothing great about it, just a relatively clean car already boosted. It wouldn't take much for me to restore it to good condition. It's kinda what I do.

Edit; Nevermind. I just took a better look at the parts list. Not worth the money.

I didn't think it was too bad. Needs some changes to handle all that boost, but not overall that bad. You guys forget, this is the great salty north and that's a clean CA car. Only foreigners like Aaron have salt free cars up here.

Overpriced.

just another 91 with a shitty greddy turbo kit and a 6sp. 6sp on a 4.3 rear sucks.

no roll bar
has shitty suspension
has a 1.6L
has a shitty clutch
has a stock radiator
has no ECU
has stupid 14" wheels
has a warped racing beat type I bumper
has drilled rotors in 1.6L size


has a few nice things like the lights and the JR sway bar, but i mean thats not a big deal.

there's nothing special about this car but for the new softtop.

I'd have a real hard time buying someone's project. It's not a pride thing, it's that you are now at the mercy of the OP's skills and way of doing things. The car could be great or you could have a ton of issues and things to figure out.

Honestly, the only way I'd buy a turbo miata is it was a stock MSM or a car with a well documented build thread on MT or MFZ.
