Miata for a track car - Page 2

Stance GR+, spring and shock is gay. (I run spring and shock, and a really good combo at that, but stance on a miata destroys my setup)

Wow, I've never had someone try to give me fellatio to stop me from buying something.

Sorry, whenever someone is bent down in front of me, I assume it's for fellatio purposes. With you it's just passion, strong, strong passion.

Hey Zack, did you ever have ITBs on your Miata?

pwrofturbo · Oct 13, 2009, 09:35 PM

I have a 2000, I'd never pass emissions with ITBs. This is why I'm going turdboh.

What kind of mileage do you think is appropriate for a track Miata?

pwrofturbo · Nov 2, 2009, 04:53 PM

Low 30's, driving to atlanta I averaged a little over 30 while I had the top down.

ambystom01 · Nov 2, 2009, 06:21 PM

I meant mileage on the odometer.

pwrofturbo · Nov 2, 2009, 06:40 PM

Oh, it doesn't matter. Engines are cheap, if it blows up just put another one in. It's more of a condition thing than mileage.

Alright, I've been looking for a 1994-95 and I've found two with about 190000 KM on them (118000 miles) while another has 70000 KM on it (43000 miles). The two higher mileage ones are going for a third of the list price of the low mileage car.

I own a 1990 miata. I picked it up for $2000 like 3 years ago. I was wanting to get one to do a 5.0 swap with single turbo set up but after having it for about a year my brother and me turbo'd it to see how long it would last before doing the swap. The car has around 160k and was pretty warn down before turboing it and we put 10-12psi in it, it really turned. Now the car never blew up and still has the turbo on it but I blew the 1.6l diff out and I have been threw 3 clutches. The has no powersteering and with 0 offset wheels and a 1.8l diff that is welded up the car handles good but its scary when you get it side ways. Car is kinda down now that I have the evo and a kid lol, but still have big plans for it but the evo comes first. I go to miata.net when I look for help they are pretty good on there.

Yeah the higher mileage cars are the clear winner. 118k is nothing for these things.

lol, miataturbo.net or nothing

I'm talking to the owner of the lower mileage car to see if he'll budge on the price. He's asking 14000$ for a 1995 Miata with 40000 miles on it. There's no way I'm paying that so I'm offering him effectively half that. If not, the higher mileage cars are still available.
Edit: OK the guy honestly thinks his 1995 Miata is worth more than 8000$. He's clearly insane.
