So how much would you sell your car for? Seriously....
You want a cheap NA project car? lol
My friend has a turbo e30, runs a 666fab manifold, a gt3076r, tial 38mm WG,turbo-back 3" exhaust, bigass FMIC, a funky BOV, home-built MS, and it was ******* fast on 12 psi. Made like 280 ft-lbs and 275 rwhp on a mustang with a god-awful tune. Spooled really quick too.
It's damn insane what the stock internals of a SOHC 6 cylinder can hold up to. The previous owner of the car made 475 RWhp on a stock motor O_O. Different manifolds and all that jazz, but damn!
If I got out of the miata world, I'd jump into the e30 world, lol.

The NC apperantly has a programable ECU. The S2000 is a massive PITA in terms of engine management in compairison.
Other than that I dont see any advantage to the NC personally.
I a hear the E30 thing. Though E36s seem better in every way from what I can see. Better suspension, steering, and they make great sleepers because they are still so common. A clean E30 is rare enough to look fast now.

The E30 M3 in my driveway is for sale. $10k. West coast car, rust free. Just welded a muffler on it yesterday so its streetable again 
There was some standing water in the trunk today so we punched a hole in the trunk floor to let it drain. Its a feature.
Of course ignore Lev's mani/dp in the foreground
Lovingly abused on the track for years by 3 drivers per event. Probably the most reliable track car i've ever seen/driven. Just needs an interior haha.

Miata Turbo Forum - Home of the turbo Mazda Miata. - y8s's vBGarage

oh i should also mention that E30s without rear doors need not apply. I drive old people around.
