I've ridden in that car. I actually kinda really liked that cage, even though I understand there are some compromises. I contacted Moti and asked for a quote for that kind of work in an NB, but sadly we didn't get very far.
I'm not completely shocked at the price, but it is a bit high. If I had to guess he'd probably take less but the sticker shock will drive off most of the hard parkers and stancebros that are just looking for another Miata to ruin. Also, anything with that level of modification that still legitimately passes smog in this state is like a needle in a haystack. Just having a car look like that will get you laughed out of most smog shops around here. Plus, remember where his shop is located and his target audience.
I'm not saying its justified, but I see where its coming from.

Glad you didn't, those welds and the leg breaker placement of the A pillar bar is no bueno.

1991 Pit Crew Mazda Miata 1.8 swap JDM RARE
Located in Austin, TX. Clear TX title, registered.
120k 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, and everything marked new below....
