Default 1990 Miata Ls1, T56, 8.8

1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a red-over-black convertible that was modified during prior ownership, with work said to include installation of a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 and Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission sourced from a Camaro utilizing a Boss Frog V8 swap kit. Additional drivetrain modifications reportedly include a Ford 8.8″ rear end, Trick Flow cylinder heads, titanium valves, Brian Tooley Racing valves prings, a Tick Performance Stage 2 camshaft and pushrods, a Flyin’ Miata crossflow radiator and stainless-steel headers, a custom exhaust system with a MagnaFlow muffler, a Fuel Air Spark Technology LSxR intake manifold and throttle body, and a nitrous oxide injection system. The car is also equipped with 15″ Kosei K1 wheels, V-Maxx coilovers, Wilwood front calipers, chassis reinforcement bracing, an aftermarket vented hood, Boss Frog roll hoops, a Momo steering wheel, and a CD stereo. This modified NA Miata is now offered with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title, located in Palm Springs CA 92211 For more info call 773-320-6644

Can you post more photos showing exterior condition, modifications, interior condition?
Miles on chassis, miles since conversion?
Done any fender flaring for wider wheels/tires?
Condition of top?
Does a hard top come with it?
Width of current tires?
Rear axle ratio?
Price range you want for it?
Anything wrong with it?
Why are you selling it?

You haven't had this long since buying it on BAT. Reason for selling? Price?

A little disappointing that OP won't answer the questions in the forum for all to see...

Thank you Howitzer21!!

For street use, seems to be plenty of room to re-install the wiper system? I assume the Nitrous Outlet (?) can be moved easily to accommodate the wipers while still keeping it in the windshield wind stream ... Don't see any wiper wiring, but again assume that can be dealt with fairly easily? ... Front signals sacrificed to inlets, might be more difficult as far as registration goes ... Nitrous could be capped in the trunk and pump and canister temporarily removed fairly easily I assume to make some trunk space for weekend trips to the event of your choice ... 478 rwhp and 456 ft, lbs. of torque seems a more than adequate power to weight ratio

$25,500, plus the BAT buyer's premium of 5%, plus shipping from East coast to West has to bring it to the $28K range, plus tax on the purchase ...

$25,500, plus the BAT buyer's premium of 5%, $26,775.00 plus shipping from East coast to West $2995.00 equals $29,770.00. Too Too much car for a man my age. Wife says choose. She wins car loses. Any info can be seen at https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...x-5-miata-159/

We now know what it cost you but what is your selling price? Debating buying a finished car vs doing a conversion on my turbo miata.

I'm sorry I thought it was obvious that I wanted to break even on the sale so the price is $29,770.00. It is a one of a kind conversion, but I have a one of a kind wife. Any questions send me an e-mail or call 773-715-3185. Sorry the response was so late, but my grandchildren are visiting. Going back Friday, then I'll need a vacation.

I have several people asking about the turn signals. The turn signals are operative both front and back, left and right sides, and hazard lights. Also of course the brake lights work. Thank you for your inquiry. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I am the PO, before the flip on BAT, I can answer any questions for Kek to help aid in sale. Obviously this is not the typical LS Miata conversion but I know every nut and bolt inside and out.
