Important Note: I have listed this car as salvage title, ut that is an error with AutoCheck and ebay won't allow me to list it any other way. The car has a normal, lean, on-salvage, on-rebuilt title, rom the State of Georgia, n my name. Photos of the title and the VIN markings on the car are available in the photo album below. If you have any questions, lease feel free to contact me. Up for auction is my Mariner Blue 1990 Mazda Miata (MX-5) track car and occasional daily driver. Please read the entire ad before you bid - this probably isn't the best car for your daughter to drive to highschool. Additional photos are available here:
It's been a fantastic car - lots of fun, ut I don't have time to take it out to the track much anymore. 5 speed manual transmission. Very lightweight car, as 2085 lbs last time I had it on the scales and it's lighter now.Lots of nice upgrades, ere are some of the highlights: - Lightweight (12 lbs) composite hardtop with lexan rear window - Adjustable Koni sport shocks - Coilover sleeves with higher-rate springs, orner-weights set to within 5 lbs - Custom-made tig welded chromoly roll bar (track legal) - Rebuilt big brake kit from later (1.8L) cars - Torsen LSD with quicker ratio final drive - Momo composite racing seats (FIA rated) - Schroth 6-point harnesses (FIA rated) - Quick release hub and steering wheel - Real carbon-kevlar center console - Upgraded motor mounts - De-powered steering rack with bump steer adjusters - RX-8 fuel pump - Hollow 7-spoke Miata wheels - Radiator cowl plate - Performance alignment from GTE (maximum camber, ero toe) The chassis has high miles (around 261k), ut has been very well maintained. Runs and drives great. The engine was gone through by the previous owner and it runs with no issues and has good compression (I checked it a few weeks ago). Engine temp never above normal range, ven during hot track days. The brakes and suspension were recently refreshed with rebuilt calipers, ew brake pads, TE high-temp brake fluid, ew ball-joints, ie rod ends, ack bellows, tc. Transmission has new Redline MT-90 oil and differential has new Royal Purple oil. Tires have lots of tread (only have ~5k miles on them), For those familiar with the 1.6L engine, have inspected the crankshaft nose and replaced the woodruff key and pulley, hile I was in there as a precaution. Everything was in great shape. Water pump and timing belt are also low miles. Still has OEM exhaust with catalytic converter and passes emissions, ut is now emissions except (would be perfect for someone looking to go turbo or do an engine swap). Here are the issues (it's still a 25 year old car): - Some dings /small dents and few hail marks in the original paint (pictures are current though - see linked album) - Scratches on rear bumper - Small oil leak; maybe a quart between oi changes - No soft top (bolted-on hard top only) - Airbag light comes on sometimes due to worn slip ring - No A/C (I have all the parts, hough) and it worked when removed) - No cruise control (same story) - No stereo (but wiring still in place) - No power steering (correctly de-powered by removing seals, tc.)- Window motors are sometimes weak, ut work- Loud on the highway (from hardtop and diff. ratios) - Some of the interior is removed for weight reduction (armrest, ear cargo shelf)- Limited passenger room due to roll bar (don't expect to fit someone who's 7 feet tall in the passenger seat) Car is ready for the track, utocross, ack roads, aily driver duty, hatever. Clean GA title in my name, nd current tags. Still has valid inspection sticker from Atlanta Motorsports Park on the windshield. Again, ots of fun. It's been a great car, nd I'd keep it if I had more time to use it, ut sadly, don't. FYI, 'm 6 feet tall and fit in the car just fine with my helmet on. Please contact me with any questions and I'll get back to you. Car is for sale locally. |
