Did I get a good deal?
Bought my first Miata last week and I love it!!
Did I get a good deal. Mazda : MX-5 Miata : eBay Motors (item 220549041287 end time Feb-06-10 20:06:36 PST) Had a Mustang with a 347 and Vortech on it 550whp on 93* I was planning a V8 swap but the more I look into a built turbo engine the more I lean that way. |
It has the short nose crankshaft.

I plan to delete the carpet and replace the seats with race units. The rest cleaned up real nice with a little elbow grease. I looked at a few cars local that were in worse shape and the people wanted more..$$.. |
Well seeing that it has odometer problems, and has been in accidents, I'm not sure. I would have paid a little less if I were you.

For a car you plan on 1.8L swapping anyways, with an un-straight body and shoddy interior you probably payed a little much, but that is what the car is worth as-is.
Just saying for what you wanna do you would have been better off with an $800 shell, and buying some black carpet/interior and building your 1.8L to swap in. Oh well, work on what you have is what I say. |

Yeah it is pretty dirty, but the body is clean and so is the engine bay.

unless you are wanting to slowly build your car up i would go v8 if u have the budget. i like the lsx swaps 300ftlb torque and 300 hp with a ls1. or you could go ls2 or3 and get more power. thats if u have the budget and time.
