I have delayed this as long as I can, but the time has finally come to find a new home for my Miata. It started life as ’94 r package Mazda Miata. It has since been customized extensively for SCCA solo competition in the SSM class or as a track day car by Speed South, originally for Robert Russom (who owned Speed South at the time).
It has a HUGE turbo & custom horizontally mounted intercooler (to keep it out of the airflow for the radiator) utilizing a Greedy boost control to make 14.7lbs of boost & up. The heater works, but I removed the air conditioner system (I still have the components if you wish to reinstall it). The exhaust is a custom 3” pipe from the down tube back with a mid-mounted expansion chamber to keep the sound in check at least a little. For electronics it uses a programmable Haltech system & a full MSD ignition system. It has all the typical gear to handle the extra heat of a turbo engine (oversized radiator, remote oil filter, oil cooler, fuel pressure regulator, etc.). The suspension has been completely gone through also (Koni yellows, 700# f / 350# rear springs, adjustable sway bars with heim links & reinforced mounts, raised rear shock hats). I installed a custom splitter & a dual plane rear wing. The interior has been worked over just as well with a 4 point roll bar with harness bar & camera mount, aluminum racing seats with harnesses for the driver & passenger, numerous extra gauges (boost, air/fuel ratio, fuel pressure, functional in dash oil temperature), small diameter removable steering wheel, & a nice stereo with quick release sub mounted in the trunk. The mounted wheels are 15”x8” & it comes with a set of 17”x7” wheels so you can have some street tires & race tires mounted up. There are also numerous parts that will come with the car (2 short blocks, a head, a timing belt, water pump & whatever else I run across in the garage for it).
If you’re a large guy that has always wanted a Maita but never fit in one, THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU! I had this Miata extensively customized to fit me. I’m 6’4” 350lbs. I fit under the roll bar & look nearly through the middle of the wind shield. I can even get in & out of the car with the top up! As it sits, shorter people (5’5” or so & under) can’t reach the peddles. If you are not as large as I am, I still have the stock seats that can be bolted right back in for you.
Now for the bad stuff . There is a scratch on the rear wheel well & and another on the hood from cutting off an old hood lock that had broken. The interior door light that comes on when the door is open doesn’t work (dash lights are perfect). The soft top looks GREAT & doesn’t leak, but there is a tear where the back window is sewn on to the zipper. All the fluid levels are fine, but it has only been driven occasionally for the last several years, so they probably should be replaced before it is raced or put on the track just as a precaution (the battery is new though ), they’ll be fine for driving it home at least.
I would like to get $12,000 obo for the car. If you’re interested either email me waflet at gmail dot com or call my cell at 205- five two seven – 1168.
Now for the pics!
