Looking to purchase a well sorted FI or swapped Miata in the LA area. I need something for local driving that is maneuverable. Open to an NA or NB. Updated stereo and suspension a plus. Aftermarket paint is a plus. By sorted I do not mean underbody neons, altezzas, 2F2F, "slammed/stanced" or whatever the current local craze is with the kids these days. Willing to pay fair value, not more and I'm not trying to lowball. However if the interior or top is busted I will expect concessions for those things. Please PM with details if you have one or know of one available.

 

You're probably going to have a better time buying a well sorted n/a car and then boost it yourself. Doing the transfer in California is a recipe for sadness.

 

I second what Niglet said. Since you're in Cali I recommend that you buy a 94 or 95 so that you could put a standalone ECU in there for when you boost it and not have to worry about smog check.
But if you can find a really cheap 1.6 in good condition go with that. You can still have heaps of fun in a 1.6.
I have a full JRSC m45 kit which just bolts up to the 1.6 that you could buy from me. It's 100% CARB legal so, again, you don't have to worry about smog.
