1991 Pit Crew Mazda Miata 1.8 swap JDM 95M seats, 93LE interior
1991 Pit Crew Mazda Miata 1.8 swap JDM RARE
Located in Austin, TX. Clear TX title, registered.
~122k mi
This has the most iconic nose conversion made for the NA - an extremely rare Pit Crew Racing front end imported from Japan. It's a love or hate conversion, but it sure is a conversation starter. If you don't know - this front end is $3100 alone, plus $400 chrome bumpers, PLUS $600 shipping from japan... that's unpainted and uninstalled. There are only a handful of miata's in the USA (4 including this one, to my knowledge) with this front end conversion! If you are familiar with the 'miata scene', the nose came from the "Blue Potato" and this was previously Phillyb's "Pitcrewb". Planet Miata performed the 1.8L swap with a 120k engine, the body has ~120k on it. Theu also performed a wire tuck to clean up the typically cluttered miata engine bay. If you are familiar with Miata's, you'll know the cost/rarity/desirability of many of these parts and know that several of these are no longer available. A little more love and this will be one unique, retro miata.
I have fixed *many* things on it since I have had ownership and have put on many parts that I've collected over owning 12+ miatas. I had lots of plans for it, but unfortunately I don't have extra parking space here and no longer have a place to work on it. Notable additions include a Hard Dog Stainless roll bar, Boig Header and Artech V-band 3" exhaust, Miataroadster short shifter kit, Trackspeed radiator, 93LE parts, new Nitto NT05 205/50/15's and everything marked new below....

Modified Bob Boig road race header - his is the header that is on all the Top EP GTlite and GT2 miatas. Built for high HP, high revving engines. 1 3/4x 31" primaries, merge collector into 7 degree divergent nozzle into 3" vband ring. Nitroplated. This header was designed for ~200+whp GT motors originally. I modified by replacing the 2" collector with the 7* divergent nozzle to 3" vband ring that are on it now.

Negs:
The paint job is a 15 footer - the hardtop has typical chips around the edge. Needs a good clean.
The nose has some chips on the bottom as it used to have a TRAP lip mounted to it, but the previous owner broke it off.
No console, unless you buy the Zoom console from me or a bare Zoom fiberglass console.
Dash crashpad will be black unless you purchase the 93LE dash with car.
NO AC or radio
Drips a small amount of oil
Typical miata gear whine in gears 1-3, trans functions well with no grinding/clunking/issues
Small exhaust leak around the header/collector. Acoustiseal or Hylomar sealant was not used, so that should fix it. The guy at Nitroplate said that the coating was strong enough that if you took the header to a muffler shop and had the primaries stretched out to tighten the slips up some it wouldn't hurt the coating at all as well.
Brakes click with hard braking, recent brake bleed and plenty of life on the pads.
I have a 93LE complete dash available 93LE carpet, plastics, and seat belts if you would like to complete the 93LE red interior conversion. I also have many other miata parts to support a turbo build.

-Zoom Type 2 Black leather Radio cover (3 gauge, both silver and black faces) $475

-Odyssey PC680MJ with billet battery bracket $175
-McIntosh double din radio from Subaru CD and tape in a DDMworks din adapter.
-trackspeed BBK, supermiata sway bar kit, GURU billet diff, etc.
Easily removable items can be taken off to further reduce price to your budget.

I would LOVE your car if it didn't have the pitcrew front end 
In seriousness, for someone who really wants a pitcrew front end Miata, this seems like a great deal.
@AlwaysBroken here's your sway bar kit BTW

Thanks. Yeah the pitcrew is always polarizing. I do miss pop ups now that I've had it for a long time. Never fails to start a conversation though.
My girlfriend currently drives this more than I do, so she gets a lot of double takes.
yes, pm me an offer for the fuel rail.
The Trackspeed BBK 11.75" gen 1 dynalite black 4 piston, OEM sport rear brakes, upgraded brake booster and 989 master cylinder as well that was all put on at the same time. used for about 2k miles before the engine went on my previous car.
Looks like prices have dropped on these so I don't really know a reasonable price. I was going to put them on if I was keeping the car.

Tell me about the supermiata sway kit?
Btw, that car's interior looks clean and new in a way that my car probably never will. Miles and miles of untorn leather. Appreciate the effort that went into that front end, but it's just not my taste.

Was on a car for ~100 miles, before it was parted out. The DW300 pump is already mounted to the fuel sender unit with the AN fitting welded. Has a Rare PURPLE FM 1.6L fuel rail.
