the guy bought it for 6500 too, and has been trying to sell it for 10K ever since.
It was built here in Tampa.

i think that car has been discussed on the forum before if i remember correctly, the guy posted picitures too

here it is
https://www.miataturbo.net/showthrea...highlight=sr20

ok after further investigation maybe its not the same car, but it is a sr20 in a miata built in florida :bigtu:

All of the SR20 Miatas I've seen have been built by Z fever. There's a mount kit out for it but I've yet to see someone use it.

Since when the hell were all of you such car elitests that you can't appreciate some's work and their unique flare. Seriously wtf? I would say it qualifies as "out of the box" concidering you all think rear mounted turbo miata's are so different from your own, or that some variation of over radiator piping is different. How all this bullshit has spewed into "ricer ------ drifting shit" is beyond me. Particularly when people who are appropriately building up an SR20 motor would certainly not fit a "ricer" definition. Wooo it's highly popularized and at times even televised HATE IT!!!! As much as you guys fucking hate M.net you are seriously picking up on their "hate anyone doing something different than me" mentality....because your track days and auto-x is SOOO much more important than everyone else's auto experience. Pah-lease, get off your high horse and realize you're like everyone else stop trying to suggest that your motorsport is better than rocket ships or some other bullshit. So gay that many of you guys go to the strip to get times etc, and yet spew "nopi/drift is ricer gay"...hmm funny i thought drag racing was nopi gay?

Its still no reason to cry about it....even though its not true.

How many Miatas on this site over 300 whp? When do the Miata trans start shitting the bed? Just because maybe 10 people have broken 400 whp in a Miata doesn't make the B6 or BP as decent as the SR. Who the fuck cares if someone wants

This is the gayest thing I have ever read. Unique flare? What the fuck? Doing something to your car strictly because it's "unique" is fucking dumb. I'm not necessarily "anti-rice" because some of the functional things we do to our cars here are looked at as rice on m.net. I'm anti idiocy. I don't feel the need to be appreciative of "unique flare" because it's the nice thing to do.

What's wrong with being elitists? You say it like it's a bad word. I'd rather be smart/sensible and mean than totally retared and nice.

Also, does it really matter that a few people have done it? How does that not make it outside the box? Last I recalled we didn't have a Miata/Sr20 section for all of them running around here.

I'm still holding out for the radial sr8 swap miata...then snagging his IP, killing him, and shipping the miata to a company where the US doesn't have extradition and a has a track.

but would YOU pay $10,000 for this car? I personally wouldn't buy anything with an aftermarket turbocharger put on due to the fact that i don't know what or how well they did it. Much less an aftermarket motor. And not for $10,000 either. (+1500 for hardtop)

+1

uhm... you drive a Miata. get off the soap box, sit your ass down and stfu?

to others: fwiw, there isn't Nopi ANYTHING on the west coast.

so there is no need to see everyones riced out car at a gathering, because everyones car on the west coast is riced out anyways? if i'm reading you correctly that is

I was just commenting on the guy trying to sell it for 3500 more than he paid for it. Which I think is pretty fugged up since the guy who sold it to him cut him a good deal. For 10K I would expect a 93 wit a V8, or a 2.0 built stroker with a nice turbo kit. Theres a shop here in tampa, XAT Racing, which builds V8 swapped 240's for around that. I have met the guy who participated in that build, and from what I heard, the car just was not worth keeping. Thats why they sold it.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the price is a little unfair..besides the fact that he's selling it for more than he bought it for, but then again would anyone buy a turbo 93 for 7,000? People ask prices that seem pretty rediculous when it comes to modified cars. Paying full price for the car and all the modifications done is stupid, for the money you can do it yourself...but hey that couldn't at all be why this website is even around?? DIY? no surely you jest!

Interesting thing I stumbled upon while looking for a local dealer that would have hondata or similar intake gaskets.
