Your going to have a hard time selling it since mostly women drive miata's and they don't care about the mods that are on the car. I'd keep it and turn it into a road track toy to do driving events at local road courses.

The guy (Felipe)who owns this wagon drives a 1st gen RX7 and is a member of the SOFLA RX CLUB.. he goes to TANGOS PIZZA so next time you go you can say hello to him and tell him in person. One of his other cars is a Toyota Corolla with a 12A motor.. he is a pretty cool guy when you get to know him.

400 at the wheel and it would literally be FLYIN MIATA LMAO! at 15 psi it should be at or real real close to 300 rwhp. at 12psi its about 250 rwhp

A (soft top) convertible just isn't really comfortable as a daily driver. Especially a two seater. I bet that Miata is fun as hell to drive hard though.

You should look into something a little larger and more comfortable. Something your dates can ride in confortably, without messing up their hair, or having to smell the exterior exhaust fumes.

A lot of nice cars out there. If I were doing it over, for a project car
I would do:
  • RX-8 (3 Rotor 20B RE)
  • RX-8 (2 rotor 13B RE)
  • MKIV Supra (with at least 700rwhp)
  • RB26 Powered 240
  • SR20 Powered 240
  • AE86 Powered by a 13BT or S2000 Engine
Or forget the whole thing and just buy a new Z06.

I do like the SR or RB powered Nissans though. Especially with a Sylvia front end. 400+ to the wheels makes them pretty quick too.

Good Luck.
