First thoughts to go through my mind before i start writing is "I cant believe i am doing this", but time to move on...Let me begin

I bought this car over 5 years ago. It was completely stock. Long nose 1.6, my first miata and had no idea the long journey it was going to bring me on. I would say it had about 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. It was a Daily to NYC until I got tired of being almost ran over by 18 wheelers on the expressway. The real reason for selling is that I simply don’t use it anymore and want to move on to an Elise/Exige. Car has never seen rain since fenders/hood was cut 3 years ago. Always garaged.

It wall started with a FM coilovers, Sparco seats, simple brake lines/discs and a roll cage. Then it spiraled uphill from there. At this moment, I think everything has been either replaced or upgraded. I even replaced/painted everything suspension related on the car (control arms, etc). All bushings replaced with stiffer Polys at that time too (around 90k Miles). Hood, trunk, and front bumpers also replaced also. Im kind of just keeping it simple for now before I type of the list of whatever I can think of.

Oh and I personally detailed and paint corrected the car. Every square inch of the car I cared for and resurrected. The hard top was purchased and Paint corrected, unfortunately the chips in the rear I never took to get fixed. I had many people comment positively on it actually, giving the car a unique look. The car earned a lot of respect and comments from supercar owners at car shows too many times. It is just a unique car I always told myself I would never sell because its priceless and its MY OWN creation…Anyways lets get to the GOOD STUFF!

Purchased the Flyin Miata Turbo System on August 3, 2015. The kit comes with (have receipt):
• -FM II Hydra
• GT2560R Turbo
• Stage 8 Hardware Fastening
• Oil Drain upgrade, 700cc Deatschweks Injectors
• Turbo assembly option
• FM NA Happy Meal clutch/flywheel
• Had it Dynoed after break in at 241HP. Not RWHP have Dyno chart somewhere

This Grand total came out to $6,339.89 ALONE - Just the turbo WITHOUT install alone.

Interesting thing is, I used the car 5-6 times to Autox before the ‘CRAZINESS” began, and wish I had the turbo installed on it and did a Autox…so I never had the opportunity to experience that.

I HAVE A RECEIPT FOR EVERYTHING AND CAN BE PRESENTED VIA EMAIL UPON REQUEST

Something also Unique about the car is the exhaust. The Life of the car went from Stock exhaust, then I bought a car back system, which was too quiet. Then I had the cat removed and straight piped out the back, didn’t like it either. When I had the Turbo Kit being installed, my mechanic had a very VERY talented employee there (whom passed away unfortunately) who made a custom “tear drop” exhaust coming out behind the driver door with a aluminum cover riveted on. It’s a straight exhaust but the Turbo muffles it nicely at Idle. WOT is pretty loud, but the ENTIRE car screams loud aesthetically.

SO…Below is everything I can think of that is on the car. I will only put a price $ next to something if it is a significant upgrade or unique. As for the Engine build Labor cost, I can get proof of that upon request. No expense spared. Everything bought from either fab9tuning, goodwinracing, 949, mossmiata, gomiata, etc. Remember prices don’t include Install/Labor/Shipping Costs. (The wing I installed myself). THE PRICES NEXT TO ITEM IS WHAT IT COST ME, NOT WHAT I AM SELLING IT FOR.

Engine Build: Head and block steamed/sandblasted/Painted. Bored (Build only 100 miles on it, still needs to continue break in procedure)…YES ONLY 100 Miles. New engine essentially. Engine Internals total probably in the $3500-$4000 Range, parts only.

After break in and a fresh tune, the car should
make safely 400hp on a conservative tune. The engine alone is valuable enough.

There are many other parts on the car, the shifter, CF Rear view mirror, front strut brace, sway bars…the list goes on and on.

The engine alone is worth a good chunk of change...offer me.

I would like to sell this car as a complete package. I would like it to go to someone who will leave it as is and enjoy it but that’s only my opinion. Like I said, it is unique and literally turns heads. People have asked me what year the car is and I tell them its from 1991, leaving them in shock.

I DO NOT WANT TO PART OUT THE CAR.

I could probably make more money parting it out but I don’t have the time to do that, nor the space right now to do it (if nobody takes it then might part it out, but would hurt me to do so). I am also not in any financial situation to sell, therefore im not in a rush to get rid of it. IF you just total up the money items I listed, it comes out to $27,000 in parts ALONE. I bought the car for $3800, and IF you factor in labor/blood/sweat/tears…your looking at a $40,000 - $50,000 car.

Thanks for taking the time to read everyone GOOD LUCK!
