The 2 relay switches that are normally mounted right beside the passenger headlight that control the a/c fan on the radiator are missing, the a/c cooling fan that is usually mounted on the passenger side of the radiator over by the throttle body "appears" to be missing. and looking at the front of the engine block the power steering pump/bracket looks to be missing and the a/c condenser below the missing power steering pump doesn't appear to be there either.
Guys if I could get better pictures I would If I could get a close up picture of the engine belts and pulleys then I would It's impossible to get any legitimate information from the seller; he knows less then my 10 year old son does about cars. I have owned multiple Miata's and multiple turbo'd cars. If I had better pictures I could easily tell if the car had a/c, P/s. or whatever. Like I said it took me 24 hours to get 2 pictures from him. This is the best I can get outta the guy. If the car wasn't 1,000 miles away from me I would have already gone there to look it over Or Take a huge risk and buy a car sight unseen and become a statistic. |
In my opinion it all depends on the price and how much of a gambler you are.
For me, depending on the price I'm quite the gambler :laugh: |
So I bought the car, and I'm pretty sure I stole it for the amount of parts this thing has on it, will update in the coming days to figure out what parts are what. took me 2 days to get it back home and it didn't blow up so that is a start
|
Based on the pictures, it looks like an FM 2 or voodoo turno kit with the trackdog intercooler kit. It does not appear to have power steering or A/C. Better pictures, or better communication from the seller would be able to confirm this. Unless its a steal and/or you get more information, odds are you will be disappointed. If it appears too good to be true, it usually is. JMHO

Double Post FTL..

:rofl:
I think you're a little late. So OP, now that you have it... what is it? |
Didn't see page 2, also FTL.
Glad to hear it seems you are satisfied with your purchase. |
congrats. you took a big risk and it just might pay off.

Give me a few hours and I am going to take detailed pictures of everything and post the pictures here, I understand most of you are much more knowledgeable about boosted NA. Miata's than I am. I've only ever had turbo'd Honda's.
I know enough to say that amount of high $$$ parts on this car is incredible; it makes zero sense as to how this car ended up at a dealership as a trade vehicle. I am excited and nervous as hell I'm not sure how big of a score or a let down I have here, but the motor and transmission "feel" healthy and the car did make an 11 hour drive without any issue or break downs so that gives me hope. The car's EXTREMELY stiff, and has many many rattles noise's and vibrations. No power steering, no A/C, No power widows just a heater and radio. At one point this M-Edition Miata had all of those creature comfort, there all gone now. Very disappointing to me. The steering wheel cannot raise and lower??? Is that normal? There is no adjustment on the steering column and the steering wheel is so low that is completely blocks the view of my gauges. Its not safe this way. I'm going to take pictures of everything now. Thanks guys I'll return |
The steering wheel is not adjustable. You can get an aftermarket one that is bigger or smaller to get around not being able to see the gauges.
|
OP, please do not be offended if i'm off base. :)
But man, i just can't shake the feeling that this is an elaborate miata.net troll. No power steering, no A/C, No power widows just a heater and radio. At one point this M-Edition Miata had all of those creature comfort, there all gone now. Very disappointing to me. |
Not to thread jack, but what OD would that piping be for the FMIC? I have to redo all of mine and would prefer running it this way instead of trying to cram it between the block and the rad.

I am not a troll, I found this car online for sale bout a 700 mile drive away from me, I live in ohio. I drove all the way there in my dd. civic with a friend decided to buy the car on the spot basically for all the parts it had on it. Now that I have the car at home I can tear into it and see if I made a good purchase.
