Jesse Prather is selling a 2.0 stroker turbo Miata he built for a customer:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/37264892401...CA:MOTORS:1123

This car is a car that I built for a customer of mine and we really went all the way with this Miata. It has a billet stroker kit, Flyin’ Miata turbocharger setup, fuel delivery and exhaust upgrades, blended fiberglass fender flares, AFCO coilovers, 3-piece CCW wheels, and more. Everything has been upgraded and the car drives absolutely amazingly nice. Certainly the best driving Miata I've ever driven and I've driven a lot of them!



The exterior was modified with wider fiberglass fender flares blended into the factory panels and finished in black paint. A new canvas soft top was also fitted.



Three-piece 16″x9″ CCW wheels are mounted with Toyo Proxes T1R tires sized 245/35. The car is lowered on AFCO double-adjustable coilovers, and the brakes have been upgraded with 4-piston Wilwood calipers and a proportioning valve.



The cabin features black leather seats with red stitching, and an AutoMeter boost gauge from Flyin’ Miata. The only thing that doesn't work is the stock factory radio.



Power is from an inline-four displacing 2.0L thanks to a stroker kit including a billet crankshaft, forged pistons and connecting rods, and ARP hardware. Additional modifications include:
  • Flyin’ Miata Turbo Kit with ceramic-coated manifold and outlet
  • Flyin’ Miata Hydra Nemesis Standalone ECU
  • RC Fuel Injection fuel rail, pump, and injectors
  • Oil cooler kit
  • Coolant reroute kit
  • Hard lines for water and oil
  • ATI crankshaft damper
  • Flyin’ Miata flywheel and clutch
  • Lower engine shield
  • 3″ stainless steel exhaust system







Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, which was rebuilt with new synchronizers, shift forks, bearings, and a Quaife wide-ratio gear set. The chassis has been modified with a power plant frame stabilizer kit and butterfly unibody bracing.
Posted in case someone is interested.

Dang. Everything all done, and hard top (subtly, too subtly, mentioned). Wonder what the reserve is.

agreed. I looked and did not see what turbo. There could have been much more data given.

oops, Pic thread. My brain assumed Craigslist.

All that work for custom 16s (which have terrible tire selection)? Seems like an odd choice, pretty solid build otherwise.
