fourwhls Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I can't believe I'm even considering this, but given my current situation (needing money for new house) the Miata is up for sale. Soon to be followed by the truck and trailer. I have done my best to describe the Miata as thoroughly as possible, but I'm sure I've missed some things here and there. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a PM and I will send you my phone number. The car has never been in an accident. I did have a wheel break once (Gotta love Keizers), but the damage was purely cosmetic (Fender and Flare). I purchased the car 8 years ago and when purchased it was in absolutely perfect condition and had 116k miles on it. It has since gone through a number of transitions, including the final transition to a LS6 power plant. The car does have some dings and scratches here and there, but overall it is in pretty good cosmetic condition. Hopefully the picture show that, and I'm sure anybody who has seen the car in person will vouch for it. The car does not have rust anywhere. It is very solid and has been garage kept since original purchased (Me and previous owner) Location: Louisville, KY Price: $27,500 OBO Chassis: Original Sunburst Yellow 1992 Mazda Miata (1 of 14xx) Clean VA Title (and yes, it could be street legal depending on the state) Hardtop Tuckin 99 replica Fender Flares APR rear wing Custom front splitter V8 Roadsters tubular front subframe and frame rails Weight: Right around 2265lbs (I've changed a few things since the last time it was on the scales, but should be pretty close and likely a few pounds lighter) Wheels / Tires: Custom 16x11 Real Racing 3-piece aluminum wheels 23.5x11-16 Hoosier R75 Radial Slicks I also have another set of 15x9s with 23.5x10-15 American Racer slicks that are negotiable. Suspension: Ground Control coilovers with Koni Race Spec shocks Flyin Miata rear pillowball mounts Custom front swaybar mounts to accommodate E36 BMW swaybars. (Currently have a 25.5mm 325is bar installed) Stock miata rear swaybar (Nothing currently installed) Fresh polyurethane control arm bushings Interior: Miatacage Roll Cage painted with POR15 Custom designed and built dash with Autometer Guages 6 switch fused electrical panel with push button start Autometer shift light 17in Ultrashield Rally Sport seats (easily accommodates larger drivers) Willans 6pt Cam Lock Harnesses Momo Mod 78 Steering Wheel NRG Quick Release Engine: 2004 LS6 (Originally out of a 2004 Z06 Corvette) Fresh rebuild with less than 100mi. Balanced and Blue Printed ASA Cam Ported 243 heads LS6 Intake Custom 6qt oil pan 3 qt accusump with EPC valve Very conservatively tuned at 390HP/380TQ (12.0 AFRs, and 2 deg of timing pulled up top) I'm sure it's very capable of low to mid 400s, but I wanted something extremely safe and reliable. Clutch / Flywheel: Spec Stage 3 Clutch Findanza Aluminum Flywheel Brand new GM Slave Cylinder with extra long remote bleed line Transmission: Built T56 (6spd out of a F-Body Camaro) Less than 100mi on complete Stage 2 rebuild by Texas Drivetrain Performance Rear End: Mazda RX7 Turbo II Carrier and Clutch pack LSD Mazda 929 Ring and Pinion (3.73) This is a 8in R&P and is more than capable of handling the power. Brakes: Wilwood 4 piston big brake package (V8Roadsters) 11.75 2-piece rotors on all 4 corners (Very economical consumables) Wilwood master cylinder Wilwood proportioning valve (located in stock e-brake location) Ball valve for locking rear brakes Performance and Videos: This car is the fastest car I have ever driven, and being an AX and track instructor I have driven a lot of cars. Consistently sets local autocross FFTD. Very capable on the big track, even at high speeds. Unfortunately I have only gotten a couple sessions on track before the 1st motor let go. With the original less powerful LS1 and little to no set up time, I ran 2:06s on VIR Full with a top speed on the back stretch of 158MPH. It is definitely capable of sub 2min laps with a good driver. (Unfortunately only track video) More Pictures Here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/112889276512394277351/albums/5780570845639941169 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philooo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 anybody has links to v8 miata sold the past year or so, I wonder what are those things usually selling for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardrvin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 anybody has links to v8 miata sold the past year or so, I wonder what are those things usually selling for. You can find them on LS1tech and v8miata. To be fair to the seller, prices on these things are all over because rarely are they similar. Low I've seen is ~12K and it was a street car with essentially no other mod's done. In general they come with a laundry list of "I should do but have lost interester and 'you can easily do." I've also seen some listed at 25K that do not have this level of prep by any means. In short, the price is a good starting point. Good luck with the sale.
