Default 1997 Mazda Miata

Sorry guys, no longer for sale / trade. If anyone wonders why its because we were originally going to get a bigger car (4dr / wagon) to replace the Miata with. However our situation has changed and we now have a larger vehicle and no longer need to sell the Miata. Thanks to all those who were interested and I'm really sorry, Justin, I know you really wanted it the car.

Modz please lock the thread.

Thanks mang and no, I didn't get the twin loop mounted. I ended up selling it along with the resonator I had.

Haha, I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. The turbo response is a blessing and a curse, I could get better mileage if I could manage to stay out of boost...but that's so hard to do because it spools so quickly.

If it goes, I'll keep you informed on the shiftknob.

Main trades I'm looking for is a 5spd, preferably stock WRX / WRX Wagon, or an RSX-S 6spd. I put the price where it is to be competitive and to give the buyer a good deal. The car has over 10k in upgrades/maintenance and still has a book value of about 4k. 14k worth of car and it's going for 7k. If someone out there would trade their S2k for it I'd go for that too, I'll just sell the Sol and get a cheap 4dr from that.

I was asked before if it could be put back to N/A easily. Of course it can! It has MSPNP installed and the MAF has been removed so all you'd need to do is uninstall the turbo system and put a pipe with the IAT sensor in it and a filter attached to the throttle body and BAM N/A with an even more awesome sound. Get IRTB/ITBs and now you're cooking. This is a direction I've been exploring and it can be easily converted to IRTBs...I just might go ITB+Turbo...

No thanks, I've always loved that car when Ken had it (we were coming from Chesapeake once on I64 towards Va Beach and while exiting onto Indian River East he passed me on the inside of the off ramp while I had my GSR) and still do. HOWEVER, we traded our Sil-Eighty with a KA-T setup for the Miata and we're not really looking to go back to an S13. GLWS though, it's a really great setup.

Looks like a really nice car, I'd be really interested if I had the cash but unfortunately I don't currently. If it is still on the market in a few months I may be more interested, GLWS!

Thanks man.

I've updated the info as I didn't pick up the exhaust and I sold the Rota wheels. For those wondering why the price didn't change, it's because with or without the wheels this is still a great deal.

If anyone knows someone with an older Impreza 2.5RS 5spd, We'd be interested in that too.
