Re: Local Miata owner's discussion thread
it was johns, he sold it about a month ago. note is absence in the cool guy thread
EDIT: i dont really plan on selling mine, its money value isnt nearly close to its personal value to me, i think ill just add on other vehicles. question, does anyone have an extra functional 1.8 EGR? i got a code p4070 or something, took the EGR off and cleaned it all out cleaned all the tubes and hooked everything back up and it came back on after clearing.

May have a white 92 for sale.
The one I picked up that has teh built motor, 1.8 tranny, turbo kit ... all of which is getting pulled out, going to put a stock 1.6 back in and sell it (no hard top its gone already) but has brand new soft top with glass rear.
Literally just put another white 92 on the transport truck today in San Diego, this car is super clean, so its getting all the goodys.

Re: Local Miata owner's discussion thread
Prob not on the white one I just shipped. I mean I basically have everything to make over 300hp for $1500.
Bought the car from my dad for $1000, and just paid $900 to have it shipped, the other car I bought for $900, sold the hardtop and paid for the car, already sold the wheels off it, so im in the positive. Deduct $400 from money from wheels from $1900 = $1500
Then whatever I spend switching it all over .... still a 300+ HP miata for rather cheap. Itd be dumb not to do it.
Where I may fuck myself on the whole thing is if I buy a fastback top, then id have to sell the car for $8500 (fastback 300hp miata) to profit.
I miss having a quick little street car.

The fast back tops look amazing, but good god they are expensive.
Mt clock spring is messed up to from when I put the quick release shit on. It doesn't really bother me, I just have to turn the signals off myself. Then my horn doesn't work. but that's no biggie.
