FS 99 Miata
#1
I thought I started a thread on this before, but I cant find it so here it is again
Selling my 99 daily driver with hardtop.
130k miles
I originally built it as a streetable track car, but it only ever saw the track for 2 sessions. Its been my daily driver since 2006 and been dead nuts reliable.

The good:
LSD, konis, SM swaybars, hardtop, hard dog roll bar, mazdaspeed miata springs, rare OE catless ("federal") manifold, Jeff-special sound system

The bad:
Clutch just started slipping. (new mazda clutch kit included)
driver window wont go down (assuming regulator or motor is out)
soft top has a hole in it. (hardtop included)
grapefruit sized dent from a parking garage bump in the passenger door. (I have a spare door that comes with the car)
little bit of flaking clearcoat on the front bumper
the catless exhaust manifold leaves an orphan O2 sensor (emissions only) and resulting CEL. Could fix it if you get a bung welded further down in the exhaust, but its never bothered me enough to get it fixed.

the bad stuff makes no difference for a racecar build so I thought Id offer it up as a donor before spending time I could be out in the spring weather fixing it Smile

$5k seems like a pretty good price esp with the hardtop, but Im open to offers. no lowballs. (looking at you, Olson)

I have extras that can be negotiated in with the sale like bronze 15x7 wheels which match the rollbar, wheels with snow tires, foam-ectomy seat for taller guys (Im 6'2"), harnesses, sparco evo custom mount, custom trunk fit subwoofer, spare parts.

Looks good...

Power window might just be the switch needing to be cleaned. I've heard the NB's get the same dirty switch problem as the NA's. Read what I did, it might help?

Any interest in selling the hardtop separately? It's the right color for my car and... I could kinda use one.

more accurate description would be a tear, 4-5" IIRC. It might be able to be patched (Ive used vinyl repair kits very successfully in the past) but I just put the hardtop on it and drove it like that.

I would but since it has a tear in the softtop, and im selling it as a track/race car project it really needs the hardtop

Mmk. Let me know if whoever buys it magically does not want the hard top.

almost twice the price, three times the gay, three quarters the speed, and none of the following:

- need for a tire trailer
- leaking roof
- dent in body
- clutch job needed
- stuck window

not sure what makes that a better buy?

ohhhhh.... FWD. i forgot. somebody ought to tell half those btcc guys that they're doing it wrong and not having fun.
