Located in Central Florida (Merritt Island) - $12k

1993 chassis with 198k miles
2003 UK powertrain. 70k original miles, 8k miles since engine rebuild

Moving and need to downsize the fleet. Never thought I would sell the Miata, but it's for the best...

I have owned this car a little over 6 years. I originally bought it in Los Angeles in 2016, where it had been since new. I shipped it to Massachusetts, where it was stored in an insulated garage until being shipped to Florida in 2017. After arriving in Forida, it was used as a daily driver and incrementally upgraded until early 2019. It was then taken off the road for a year-long build, outlined below.

The goal was a fully-furnished and reliable street car with a top-of-the-line powertrain (it's a shameless copy of TheCarPassionChannel's build). The car currently makes 300 wheel horsepower at 12psi on 93 octane. The bottom end can handle 500 whp, though the current turbo would limit it to ~425. This power level would require E85, and the fuel system is built for it, though the Miata 6 speed would have to be swapped for Getrag or ZF transmission. Car was tuned by Jeff Linfert.

The car is driven whenever the forecast is rain-free and has never let me down, whether that is short drives around town or hours of joyriding.

Nice car and good luck with sale! Math on 300whp at 12psi doesn't work out, but hey

 

For an EFR sounds ok?

I think its high, at 14psi should roughly double the NA power since it is 2x atomospheric pressure, usually a little less because you have to pull some timing with boost. Figure about 10hp per 1psi, 300/2 = 150 + 20hp (since 12psi) would mean 170whp NA which is a really hard to hit number in my experince -- then you factor in the decreased timing and I just don't see it! For reference, similar build (minus VVT, but mild built BP4W so pretty similar) and it took me 18psi to hit 305whp on a 6758 (land and sea dyno to be fair, usually reads a little lower than even mustang so take it with a grain of salt)

I would say probably closer to 260-275whp with your setup, but thats just ballpark. Seriously, either way your car is really nicely built and NA's at these power levels are perfect IMO! Good luck with sale

asymmetrical fender vents? Engine bay looks cllleaaannn

 

Ha, yep. After the experience of needing to strip the first fender and repaint it in my garage, I was not inclined to install the vent in the other fender until I was ready to get the car repainted. Didnt see the project through to a repaint though

 

​​​​​​​Thank you! Yep, dynos can be surprisingly inconsistent. Your math makes sense to me as a rule of thumb. I have only had the car on the one Mustang dyno after the build, so I don't have the car stock as a point of comparison for the dyno's accuracy.
