And why would you put a type I Torsen in a 97 when they come with a type II IIRC?

First off, I don't understand why some of you guys are leaving comments to take assumptions on my cars value, when you're not even interested in potentially buying the car. I made it clear, 10,500 dollars or best offer . If you are potentially interested, send me a private message. If you want to find someone to throw flames at or give insulting offers to (I.E. a person who offered 750dollars for my two month old BEGI Series One Kit), get on Ebay and find the closest guy selling a JRSC Miata.

My comment was serious. A location might be of use to potential buyers.

people have always been free to comment on the price that others set on their cars. I think it should stay that way.

Okay, this dude obviously doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. For one, don't play me a fool, I obviously know the difference in the torsen T1 and open Diff, I swapped them and looked down inside the differential.

And about the package, your wrong. In 1997 there was a touring package and the upgraded popular equipment package.

The touring package included

Power steering
map pockets
Leather-wrapped steering wheel
power windows
power mirrors
aluminum alloy wheels with locks

The Popular Equipment packaged included

Touring Package items, plus
Torsen limited-slip (manual transmission only)
rear subframe brace rods
headrest speakers
cruise control
power antenna

Check it out below...

With a full redesign in the works, Mazda let the existing Miata glide through 1997 almost unchanged. There was a new "Touring Package" that included power steering, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, power mirrors and aluminum alloy wheels. An STO (Special Touring Option) Edition roadster was offered in a batch of 1,500 and included all the Touring Package equipment plus stainless steel scuff plates, Twilight Blue paint, 15-inch Enkei wheels and a Nardi shift ****. Only 47 brave souls opted for the competition-oriented R package, and this year's M Edition came painted Marina Green.

Get your facts right and leave your flaming where it belongs, go give yourself the finger
