1997 Turbo Miata
In a strange turn of events, I have to sell this car.
I bought it back in June to be my daily driver. I got a call, out of the blue, from my cousin and he gave me his car. The miata is a: Black 1997 with Leather package, which included the tan top (now black)and tan leather seats, that also had the Popular Equipment Package including the Torsen limited-slip rear differential, rear subframe brace, head-restraint speakers, cruise control, and power antenna. This package also included the Touring Package and Power Steering Package that included power windows, power mirrors, and door map pockets. 127,xxx miles, A/C blows very cold. Minor hail damage on rear deck, could be repaired with paintless dent removal. Upgrades: FMII Turbo with Link Computer (Note: the system in the car is the early FMII Kit, not the current kit that FM sells). Currently boost is set to 8psi, but can be easily set for upto 15psi. FM Strut Brace FM Race Radiator FM Dual Turbo Exhaust SPAL II dual fans Innovate LC-1 Wide Band Sensor, wired into the Link computer Data Log Lab software., for tuning the car Intake Temp Sensor Oil cooler with filter relocation kit recent ACT Stage 1 H/D clutch FM 2.5 Suspension Stainless Steel Brake lines Brand new brake pads on all 4 corners, and new front rotors M2 Harddog rollbar New Soft Top with new rain rail A-Pillar Pod with boost gauge Lo-Pro Headlights (probably brainstorm) LoCustom Shark II antenna factory 94-97 miata 7 spoke wheels powder coated black with Hankook RS2's. Rear spoiler Spare parts include: Manual boost controller Original Engine Computer Harness to take car back to stock Stock front turn signals Stock headlight setup extra mirror and other miscellaneous parts A notebook full of receipts from Duane When I received the car, it had a broken woodruff key and was in need of a timing belt job and some TLC. I replaced the woodruff key, crank pulley, crank boss, timing pulley and did a complete timing belt job with cam seals, front main, valve cover, 160* thermostat and water pump. I replaced the severely messed up lower pivot bolt on the alternator, had the broken bracket on the intercooler re-welded, and replaced 6 or so i/c pipe clamps. I re-ducted the radiator and intercooler with abs plastic panels on the top and bottom. There is a brand new K&N air filter on the intake, as well. The miata feels very strong and solid. A/C blows cold and the car doesn't overheat in 105* weather. $6800 obo http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/DSC04689.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/DSC04690.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/DSC04694.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/DSC04686.jpg |
So, what is the gift car such that it would justify getting rid of yours?
|
It ultimately boils down to my taxes. The money from this car will go toward my tax return, unfortunately.
|
Nice car! What is the best way to contact you? PM, Email?
|
For those of you that have Pm'd me, sorry for the delay. Lots of work/driving recently. I have responded to all pm's and emails.

Is it FM 1.5 or 2.5 suspension? Your sig says 1.5 but your ad says 2.5
Also, is it a FMI kit or an FMII kit? Same deal, sig and ad are different. Thanks, Luke PS: Sorry about the post count, just signed up today. |

How are the disposables? (Bushings, tie rods, ball joints, wheel bearings, throw out bearing etc)
Ever done a compression test? What company made the new soft top? How much life is left on the tires? Struts in good shape? Thanks, Luke |

I drove this car a couple weeks ago and its a lot of fun, with a pretty good tune, and John made the car reliable. There really isn't anyone I trust to work on my car aside from Johnfag, he's the shit.
